Castle Rock Foot & Ankle Care is proud to announce that Dr. Jessica Herzog has been recognized for her outstanding surgical volume in Lapiplasty® 3D bunion correction. This distinction establishes our practice as a true “Center of Excellence,” highlighting our commitment to advanced surgical care and exceptional outcomes for patients suffering from bunion pain.
What Is the Lapiplasty® Bunion Technique?
Traditional bunion surgery often focuses on shaving or cutting the bump on the side of the foot. While this can provide temporary relief, it does not always address the root cause—a misaligned bone structure in the midfoot.
Lapiplasty® is a cutting-edge 3D bunion correction procedure that realigns the entire metatarsal bone back to its natural position, addressing the bunion in all three dimensions. By stabilizing the joint with titanium plates, the procedure significantly reduces the risk of recurrence and often allows patients to walk within days of surgery in a protective boot.
Key Advantages of Lapiplasty®:
- Corrects the deformity at its source
- Provides long-term stability and lower recurrence rates
- Allows for early weight-bearing and faster recovery
- Minimally invasive compared to traditional methods
Why Dr. Herzog’s Recognition Matters
Being acknowledged for exceptional Lapiplasty® surgical volume means Dr. Herzog has performed a high number of successful procedures, reflecting deep expertise and trusted patient outcomes. Patients can feel confident knowing they are receiving care from a physician recognized for excellence in one of the most advanced bunion correction techniques available today.
Comprehensive Q&A
Q: How do I know if I’m a candidate for Lapiplasty®?
A: If you have a painful bunion that interferes with daily activities, you may be a candidate. During your consultation, Dr. Herzog will perform a detailed evaluation, including X-rays, to determine if Lapiplasty® is the best option.
Q: Is the recovery faster than traditional bunion surgery?
A: Yes. Many patients are able to bear weight in a protective boot within days rather than weeks, thanks to the joint-stabilizing titanium plates used in Lapiplasty®.
Q: Will my bunion come back?
A: While no surgery can guarantee a zero percent recurrence rate, Lapiplasty® corrects the root cause of the deformity, which dramatically lowers the risk compared to traditional procedures.
Q: Will I need physical therapy after surgery?
A: Some patients benefit from physical therapy to regain flexibility and strength. Dr. Herzog will create a customized recovery plan to ensure optimal healing.
Q: Does insurance cover Lapiplasty®?
A: Most insurance plans that cover bunion surgery will cover Lapiplasty® if it is deemed medically necessary. Our staff can assist with verifying coverage and navigating the approval process.
