Wyandot Memorial podiatrist offering new procedure for bunion correction

Matthew Brown, DPM, known for his expertise in foot and ankle care, is proud to announce the introduction of the revolutionary Lapiplasty procedure for bunion correction at Wyandot Memorial Hospital. With this advanced technique, Dr. Brown aims to provide patients with a long-lasting solution for bunions, offering relief from pain and restoring proper foot alignment.

Bunions, a common foot condition characterized by a bony bump at the base of the big toe, can cause discomfort, difficulty walking, and even lead to other foot problems if left untreated. Traditional bunion surgeries often involve shaving down the bony protrusion, which may not address the underlying cause, resulting in a higher likelihood of recurrence.

The Lapiplasty procedure, however, is a groundbreaking approach to bunion correction that addresses the root cause of the deformity by correcting all three dimensions of the misalignment. Unlike traditional methods, which focus mainly on the frontal plane, Lapiplasty utilizes advanced technology to correct the deformity in three dimensions — width, height, and rotation — providing a more stable and anatomically correct correction.

“I am thrilled to offer the Lapiplasty procedure to my patients seeking relief from bunions,” Brown said. “This innovative technique represents a significant advancement in bunion correction, allowing for a more comprehensive and long-lasting solution. By addressing the root cause of the deformity in three dimensions, we can achieve better outcomes and help patients regain mobility and comfort in their daily lives.”

Brown’s extensive experience in foot and ankle surgery, coupled with his commitment to staying at the forefront of medical advancements, makes him uniquely qualified to offer the Lapiplasty procedure. Patients can trust in his expertise and dedication to providing personalized care tailored to their individual needs.

Individuals suffering from bunions and seeking a lasting solution are encouraged to schedule a consultation with Dr. Matthew Brown, to learn more about the Lapiplasty procedure and how it can help improve their quality of life.
