I recently saw six week x-rays in a patient and those results are looking better than previous patients with other systems. What does that mean for the patient? The foot looks better aligned when using LapiLock 4D than other
3D bunion correction systems.

Frequently Asked Questions.

One of the primary objectives of our bunion correction systems is to minimize a patient’s downtime post-surgery without the need for a cast. The actual time to limited weight-bearing in a C.A.M. boot can vary, but it could range between 2-6 weeks or longer, as directed by your surgeon.

A primary goal of our bunion correction systems is to offer patients the possibility of comfortably wearing a broader range of shoe styles. It’s essential to make informed choices regarding shoe sizes and styles to prevent potential pain and deformities that can occur even in normal feet. For more guidance on proper footwear, consult your doctor.

Our bunion correction systems require fewer open incisions than other bunion correction methods, aiming for quicker healing and minimal scarring. They are specifically designed to mitigate the risk of 2nd metatarsal fractures, a common issue with several bunion correction techniques. The systems avoid mechanisms that can exert undue pressure on the 2nd metatarsal bone. The LapiLock bunion correction system offers both plantar (downward) and dorsal (upward) flexion, granting surgeons enhanced control for optimal bunion correction outcomes.

4D Advanced Bunion Correction.

Fusion Orthopedics 4D Advanced Bunion Correction includes MiniLock, a minimally invasive approach and LapiLock, a mechanically guided system to fix your bunion. These two systems gives your surgeon options to correct your bunion.

Image Description
The MiniLock system features two distal screws, ensuring maximum stability of the capital fragment. Additionally, the design incorporates self-compressing slots in select plates, offering an enhanced compression factor. To further optimize the stability, a targeted proximal anchor screw is integrated. This design element significantly reduces torsion and pistoning, thus maximizing the stability in the proximal region.

Choosing LapiLock by Fusion Orthopedics for bunion treatment is about prioritizing long-term well-being and mobility. Patients often seek more than just a cosmetic fix; they want a solution that addresses the root cause. LapiLock’s 4D Advanced Bunion Surgery provides this by ensuring comprehensive toe realignment and joint stabilization. The procedure focuses on the unstable cuneiform joint, a key factor often missed in traditional surgeries. With its 13+ tailored implant options, LapiLock is designed to cater to individual needs, offering both aesthetic improvements and functional recovery. For patients aiming for lasting relief and a return to pain-free movement, LapiLock emerges as the clear choice.
