Summary

This study looks at a surgery called Lapiplasty for people with bunions. It checks if the surgery fixes the foot bones correctly and if walking soon after the procedure is safe. About 183 people aged 14 to 58 will take part. The goal is to see if the bunion stays corrected and if early walking helps or harms healing.
