What Is a Bunion?

A bunion is a progressive foot deformity where the big toe shifts inward toward the second toe, creating a bony lump on the side of the foot. This misalignment can cause chronic pain, swelling, redness, and difficulty walking. Common causes include flat feet, arthritis, improper footwear, joint damage, and genetic predisposition.

When Should You Consider Bunion Surgery?

You may need bunion surgery if:

• A clinical exam and X-rays confirm progressive arthritis in the affected joint.
• Conservative treatments like orthotics, padding, or physical therapy have not relieved pain.
• You are a professional athlete or dancer whose performance is affected.
• Daily activities, such as walking or standing, are becoming increasingly difficult.
• You experience chronic joint pain and inflammation.
• Finding comfortable, properly fitting shoes is a challenge.
• You are dissatisfied with the appearance of your foot.

Cutting-Edge Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction

Dr. Mogul now offers the revolutionary Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction, a breakthrough procedure that addresses the root cause of bunions rather than simply shaving off the bump. Unlike traditional surgery, which only corrects the bunion in two dimensions, Lapiplasty realigns the bones in three dimensions, stabilizing the joint for long-term correction and significantly reducing the chance of recurrence. Most patients can bear weight within days instead of weeks, allowing for a faster recovery.
