Lapiplasty® & Nanoplasty®

Lapiplasty® and Nanoplasty® are innovative surgical procedures designed for precise bunion correction, offering long-lasting relief with minimal downtime. Regain mobility and get back on your feet faster with advanced, patient-focused treatment.

Bunions can cause daily discomfort, restrict your footwear choices, and limit your activity levels. At Prime Foot and Ankle Specialists, we offer the most advanced, effective solutions for bunion correction. Our innovative procedures include the groundbreaking Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction and the new, minimally invasive Nanoplasty®. As South Jersey's leaders in these advanced procedures, our goal is to restore your foot's natural function and performance with minimal downtime.

What is Lapiplasty®?

Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction is an innovative surgical procedure that addresses the true root cause of bunions—the unstable alignment of the metatarsal bone. Traditional bunion surgeries typically remove the superficial bump but don't adequately correct the underlying problem, leading to frequent recurrence. Lapiplasty® offers:

  • Three-Dimensional Correction: Realigns and stabilizes the joint in all three planes, restoring foot shape.

  • Rapid Return to Activity: Most patients can walk normally after a few days of surgery.

  • Reduced Risk of Recurrence: Modern titanium plating secures the correction, reducing the likelihood of recurrence.

Patients choosing Lapiplasty® often enjoy quick recovery, lasting pain relief, and restored foot function without long periods of immobility.

Introducing Nanoplasty® – The Latest Breakthrough

Nanoplasty® is the most recent minimally invasive bunion surgery.  To address mild to moderate bunions. As South Jersey's first Nanoplasty® surgeons, our specialists employ this precise technique to reduce surgery pain and incision size.

What is Nanoplasty®?

Nanoplasty® corrects the bunion deformity through extremely small, strategically placed incisions—much smaller than traditional methods. This advanced method heals faster and leaves fewer scars by causing less tissue damage. The benefits of Nanoplasty® include:

  • Minimal Incisions & Scarring: Small cuts with good appearance heal faster without scars.

  • Accelerated Recovery: Patients usually return to their normal shoes, activities, and routines faster.

  • Preserved Joint Function: Nanoplasty® maintains joint mobility and natural foot biomechanics, allowing people to stay active.

  • Reduced Post-Operative Pain: People who want to get back to their active lifestyles faster prefer less invasive surgery because it causes less pain.
