LAPIPLASTY Bunion Correction: with 3D Tri-Plane Technology, a new version of the old “LAPIDUS” metatarsal-cuneiform fusion

Dr. Forni is very pleased with the great surgical outcomes that the new Lapiplasty bunionectomy gives his patients.  The surgical procedure uses newly designed special instrumentation and a step-by-step innovative surgical technique.   The new bunionectomy was designed by TREACE MEDICAL CONCEPTS, INC.

Lapiplasty is a major improvement on the established Lapidus bunionectomy procedure, which has been used for decades on bunion deformities.  The special equipment makes the procedure much easier and simpler to perform, allowing fine-tuning of the bunion correction, and giving excellent results, case after case.  Because the surgical correction is so stable, early ambulation is permitted and encouraged.

Traditionally, the Lapidus bunionectomy was reserved for the worst bunion deformities that had high intermetatarsal angles or hypermobility at the first metatarsal-cuneiform joint. 

Due to the repeatable, excellent results that the Lapiplasty (  3-D, tri-plane bunionectomy correction) provides the patient,  the impressive results are causing podiatric foot & ankle surgeons around the country to re-evaluate their training, knowledge, and approach to treating bunion deformities.  The Lapiplasty Bunionectomy may well become the procedure of choice for the correction of most bunion deformities.

Dr.Forni is double board-certified and has successfully performed well over 1000 bunion corrective surgeries, since starting his practice.  Dr. Forni performs the Lapiplasty bunionectomy at Alexian Brothers Medical Center, in Elk Grove Village.
