If you are living with persistent foot pain caused by a bunion, you understand how disruptive it can be to your daily life. When conservative treatments such as wider footwear, custom orthotics, activity modification, or anti-inflammatory medications no longer provide relief, surgical correction may be the next step.

At Advanced Spine and Pain, our advanced and highly effective surgical option for moderate to severe bunions is the Lapidus bunionectomy.

If you would like to schedule a consultation, call us today at (480) 573-0130 or contact us online.

What Condition Does a Lapidus Bunionectomy Treat?

A Lapidus bunionectomy is designed to correct moderate to severe bunions, particularly when there is:

• Instability or excessive motion at the base of the first metatarsal (hypermobility)
• A large bunion deformity
• Recurrence after previous bunion surgery
• Significant misalignment of the big toe
• Progressive pain that limits walking, exercise, or daily activities

Unlike traditional bunion procedures that address only the visible bump, the Lapidus procedure corrects the problem at its source by stabilizing and realigning the joint at the base of the first metatarsal. This provides stronger structural correction and reduces the likelihood of recurrence.

Benefits of the Lapidus Procedure

• Corrects the root cause of the deformity
• Provides long-term structural stability
• Reduces recurrence risk
• Improves foot alignment and biomechanics
• Helps restore comfortable walking and activity

Our surgical team, led by Dr. Stephen Kominsky, carefully evaluates each patient to determine whether this procedure is the best option based on your anatomy, symptoms, and lifestyle goals.
