FDA has cleared a Treace Medical Concepts 510(k) to expand indications of the Lapiplasty 3D Bunion Correction System to treat pediatric patients 12 years of age and older. The device is designed to correct all three dimensions of the bunion deformity and permanently secure the root cause — an unstable joint in the middle of the foot, the company says. Using the device in surgery eliminates common cutting and shifting the normal metatarsal bone as with osteotomy (2D surgery). “The entire metatarsal bone is simply rotated and shifted back into position, eliminating the unsightly bump,” the company says. And, the unstable foundation is permanently secured with patented, titanium fasteners, it says.
