Dr. Paul Dayton: What if There is Arthritis in the Big Toe Joint

If you’ve been living with a bunion for a long time, there’s a strong chance that arthritis has begun to develop in your big toe joint. This happens because the joint is no longer properly aligned or functioning as it should. Even when significant arthritis is present, we can still apply the Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction approach to address the deformity at the root of the big toe joint. This advanced technique allows us to restore alignment and function—achieving the same lasting, successful outcomes for patients with arthritis as we do for those without it.
