At MMH, Podiatrist Dr. Amy Jelinek offers advanced, minimally invasive bunion correction techniques to help patients walk comfortably again. Bunions are more than just a bump on your foot — they’re caused by a bone misalignment that can lead to pain, swelling and difficulty walking.
Lapiplasty® is an innovative procedure that treats the root cause of bunions rather than simply removing the bump. Using specialized instruments, Dr. Jelinek realigns the bone in three dimensions and secures it with small titanium plates to keep the correction stable as it heals.
Benefits may include:
- Correction of the underlying bone misalignment
- Improved foot alignment and stability
- Faster recovery — many patients walk in a surgical boot within days
- Lower risk of bunion recurrence
If you’re living with bunion pain, talk with Dr. Jelinek to see if Lapiplasty® is right for you. Now accepting new patients at the Margaret Mary Physician Center in Batesville, her office can be reached by calling 812.932.4700.
