Award-Winning Chicago Podiatrist Offering Treatment For Bunions With Lapiplasty Thanks to the revolutionary work and dedicated research of Dr. Matthew D. Sorensen, traditional bunion surgery is making way for the outstanding, state-of-the-art bunion treatment surgery called lapiplasty. Older bunion surgical methods simply treat the bunion symptom – removing the “bump” that appears near the big toe without addressing the reason that the bunion formed in the first place. Lapiplasty, on the other hand, can address both the symptom AND the cause of your bunion. This provides long-term pain relief and improved mobility, and it eliminates the possibility that your bunion can reappear in the future.What Causes A Bunion?
