Lapiplasty® 3-Plane Correction at the CORA

Instrumented Reproducibility
Rapid Weight-Bearing¹
Low Recurrence at 13-17 month follow-up^1,2

Key Surgical Steps

How the Lapiplasty® Procedure Works

1. Correct

Make Your Correction Before You Cut

The Lapiplasty® Positioner is engineered to quickly and reproducibly correct the alignment in all three planes, establishing and holding true anatomic alignment of the metatarsal and sesamoids.¹

2. Cut

Perform Precision Cuts with Confidence

The Lapiplasty® Cut Guide delivers precise cuts with the metatarsal held in the corrected positions, ensuring optimal cut trajectory with only 2.4-3.1mm average metatarsal shortening.³

3. Compress

Achieve Controlled Compression of Joint Surfaces

The Lapiplasty® Compressor delivers over 150N of controlled compression⁴ to the precision-cut joint surfaces while maintaining the 3-plane correction.

4. Fixate

Apply Multiplanar Fixation for Robust Stability

Low-profile Biplanar^™ Plating provides biomechanically-tested^5,6 multiplanar stability for rapid return to weight-bearing in a boot.¹
