Lapiplasty Bunion Treatment Rockwall
Many people are trying to manage the discomfort and unsightliness of the bone deformity know as Bunion, or Hallux Valgus. Bunions are caused by a bone protruding from the inner side of the foot. Its symptoms are pain, deformity. stiffness and in some extreme cases difficulty in walking.
Most surgical treatments focus on “shaving” the portion of the bone sticking out. However that proved unsuccessful as it did not treat the instability of the joint.
Today, advancements in surgical treatment has evolved and provided an amazing surgical procedure called Lapiplasty, which treats the unstable joint and restores your natural anatomy. Dr. Casteel is one of the few podiatrists offering Lapiplasty bunion treatments.
