At Care Podiatry, we offer Lapiplasty 3D bunion correction, an advanced surgical approach designed to correct bunions at their root. Unlike traditional procedures that address only the visible bump, this technique realigns the underlying bone in three dimensions, helping restore proper foot structure and stability. Our team carefully evaluates your condition to determine if this procedure is right for you and guides you through every step of the process. The goal is to correct the deformity, reduce the chance of recurrence, and help you return to your daily activities with improved comfort and confidence.
Lapiplasty is an innovative, advanced surgical technique that treats bunions with a 3D correction. It provides long-lasting relief and improved foot function. Lapiplasty 3D targets the root cause of deformity rather than just addressing the symptoms of bunions. The procedure offers a more permanent solution to bunion pain with better alignment and increased stability for long-term recovery.
Our podiatrist will do a thorough evaluation of your foot, including X-rays. It checks the degree of the bunion deformity and whether you are a good candidate for Lapiplasty.
The surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia or light sedation. The surgeon will:
After the surgery, patients will wear a protective boot to keep the foot stable when healing. In the first few weeks, weight-bearing will be limited. However, most patients can gradually return to walking with less pain.
You will have follow-up appointments with our team to monitor your healing process and ensure that the bone is fusing properly.
Lapiplasty typically needs a shorter recovery period than traditional bunion surgeries. Most patients experience mild to moderate pain in the first few days after surgery. However, it can be managed with prescribed medication. Patients begin walking with a boot or crutches within a few weeks, and by 3-6 months, many return to normal activities, including exercise.

I think it is great shoePosted on paols eolTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took my daughter here for a sports related injury. The guys at the urgent care did not do a thorough exam they just listened to the symptoms and said she had shin splints. DR Maijala on the other hand really took his time to figure out what was wrong. He has a great foot-side manner. I would highly recommend him.Posted on Alvaro ContrerasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 10 out of 10 podiatryPosted on Manny DiazTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been under the care of Dr. Maijala since January 2025, and I cannot express how grateful I am for his exceptional care. When I developed cellulitis, it escalated to the point where I needed to be hospitalized and operated on. Dr. Maijala acted quickly and decisively, skillfully cleaning out the infection and ensuring my recovery. What truly sets Dr. Maijala apart is his remarkable combination of expertise and compassion. He is not only incredibly knowledgeable and skilled but also genuinely caring and attentive. He takes the time to listen to his patients, addressing all concerns with patience and understanding. His approach makes patients feel valued and respected, which is a rare quality in healthcare today. I wish all doctors were as dedicated and compassionate as Dr. Maijala. His commitment to his patients is truly inspiring, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of exceptional medical care. ---
