Dr Brandon Nelson, A Board Certified Physician & Surgeon, Issaquah’s Best Podiatrist, Discusses Why Lapiplasty Bunion Correction
Bunion surgery is the most common foot surgery done in the United States. There are many different techniques to correct a bunion. Most involve either cutting of a bone or fusion of a bone. All involve realignment of a joint in order to improve the function and appearance of the foot.
I have now been practicing medicine and surgery for over 15 years. I am a podiatrist in Issaquah and have had the opportunity to help 1000’s of patients with bunions. Bunions can be extremely painful and the majority of people will require them to be fixed at some point. This experience has led me to utilize Lapiplasty on the majority of my patients.
Why the Lapiplasty?
1. It provides correction at the center of a bunion deformity
2. It has been proven to have the best long term outcomes
3. It stabilizes the foot structure
4. It does an excellent job for large bunions
5. It has been utilized for over 100 years
I encourage anybody with a bunion to get evaluated by a surgeon that performs a significant amount of bunion corrections annually. Experience can make a big difference in outcomes and the Lapiplasty is a technically difficult procedure to execute. If you have a bunion and would like to discuss the Lapiplasty make an appointment with Issaquah’s top Podiatrist at 425-391-8666 or make an online appointment.

Dr Brandon Nelson, A Board-Certified Physician & Surgeon Discusses How the Lapiplasty Bunionectomy Works
A bunion is a common foot condition I see at my clinic. It is amazing the different sizes and shapes of bunions I have seen during my career. There are a couple of things I have noted during this time. One is that the bunion gets bigger. It does not grow but the bone continues to move out of alignment. Secondly it is easier to fix earlier in the process especially when the other toes are not involved. Lastly, the most important aspect is proper procedure selection. This leads me to my discussion today. The Lapiplasty has really revolutionized bunion surgery.
I was listening to a lecture today and they were discussing the fact that there are over 150 different types of bunion surgery. Most of these techniques are no longer utilized. But this is important because it illustrates how difficult it can be to get long term corrections. This is why I am a fan of the Lapiplasty procedure. The Lapiplasty corrects the bunion at its apex. It helps to realign the bone in all 3 cardinals planes that the body moves in. It has helped surgeons to provide the best correction for the patient and speed recovery. I find this procedure has incredible outcomes and my patients are happy with their results.
If you are suffering from a bunion I can help. I have seen how painful and debilitating these can be. Make an appointment online or give us a call at 425-391-8666

Dr. Brandon Nelson Discusses the Lapiplasty Bunionectomy
There are many different procedures that can be selected for bunion surgery. These can range from head procedures, midshaft procedures and base procedures and even joint fusions. The procedure selected can often be related to other conditions of the foot as well as how large the bunion itself is and how the patient is. The most important part about procedure selection is having an examination by a physician radiographically and clinically.
The Lapidus procedure has been around for an extremely long time and provides great bunion correction. The Lapidus bunion procedure itself inherently is a little more challenging than some of the other bunion options. Recently new instrumentation has been developed to make the Lapidus bunion procedure easier and more reproducible. This cuts down on recovery and operating room time for the patient and ultimately improves outcomes.
At Issaquah Foot and Ankle Specialists, we have been performing the Lapidus bunionectomy for years and on 100s of patients. The lapiplasty instrumentation has been extremely helpful we have seen increased patient satisfaction. If you are contemplating a bunionectomy I highly recommend an evaluation to see if the Lapiplasty is appropriate for your bunion.
