What Makes Minimally Invasive Lapiplasty Different?

One of the key advantages of the new lapiplasty technique created by Dr. Kokat is its ability to combine cutting-edge technology with precision methods to address bunions at their root cause.

Here's what differentiates this approach:

  • Minimal Hardware: Lapiplasty uses a streamlined approach, significantly minimizing the need for bulky hardware. 
  • Smaller Incisions for Faster Recovery: The procedure uses small incisions, reducing scarring and promoting quicker healing. 
  • Immediate Weightbearing: Unlike traditional bunion surgeries, which may require weeks of non-weight bearing, Lapiplasty allows most patients to walk on their foot immediately after surgery. 
  • Quick Procedure Time: Surgeries typically take only 30 minutes, maximizing efficiency without sacrificing quality. 
  • Extremely Strong Construct: This method delivers a robust structural repair, ensuring long-term results. 
  • Specialized Cutting Blades: These cutting-edge tools, integrated into Dr. Kokat's technique, enable maximum correction with precision. 

To perform this advanced procedure, Dr. Kokat uses the IntraLock system from Fusion Orthopedics, which is designed to provide stability and optimal alignment during recovery. You can learn more about this innovative technology here

Lapiplasty isn’t just about fixing a bunion – it’s about correcting the underlying problem using Dr. Kokat’s groundbreaking approach, getting you back to your life faster and with more confidence. 

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Dr. Kokat’s lapiplasty different from traditional bunion surgery? 

Lapiplasty, pioneered by Dr. Kokat, doesn’t just address the visible bump caused by the bunion – it tackles the root cause, which is the misalignment of the bones. By realigning the bones and stabilizing the joint with advanced hardware, it ensures that the correction lasts longer and reduces the chances of the bunion returning. 

What is the recovery process like? 

One of the greatest benefits of minimally invasive lapiplasty is the immediate post-operative weight-bearing. Thanks to small incisions and precision techniques developed by Dr. Kokat, most patients can walk using a special surgical boot shortly after the procedure. This helps you maintain mobility and minimizes recovery disruption.

If you’re experiencing pain, discomfort, or difficulty walking due to a bunion, Lapiplasty could be an excellent option for you. After a consultation, Dr. Kokat will evaluate your specific condition and determine if this groundbreaking procedure fits your needs.
