A Paradigm Shift in Bunion Correction
Fix It Right The First Time™
Why Lapiplasty®?
Lapiplasty® technology can be used to address mild, moderate, and severe bunions. The Lapiplasty® Procedure corrects the entire bone and secures the unstable foundation to get you back on your feet in a walking boot within 3-10 days. The Lapiplasty® Procedure has also shown low recurrence: 97% and 99% maintain 3D correction in studies at 13 and 17 months follow-up, respectively.
- Returns entire bone to normal alignment; a tri-plane correction®.
- Secures the root cause; an unstable joint.
- Get back on your feet quickly in a boot; many cases within 2 weeks.
What is Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction®?
Patented, advanced technology designed to correct all 3 dimensions of the bunion at the root of the problem (unstable joint). Learn how Lapiplasty® has changed the game.
Before Lapiplasty®
Bunions are complex, 3D deformities caused by an unstable joint in the middle of the foot that allows your bone to drift out of alignment.
After Lapiplasty®
Advanced surgical technology returns your entire bone to normal 3D alignment and the unstable joint is secured with patented, titanium plates to get back on your feet in <2 weeks (in a walking boot).

Testimonials
For years I suffered with bunion pain on both feet, last February I had surgery with Dr. Kinghorn for my right foot and was so pleased with the results that I had my left foot done in December and both are healing up very nicely. One year post surgery on my right foot and I have zero pain, and 6 weeks post surgery on my left foot and I've just been cleared to start wearing normal shoes and ditching the boot and crutches. I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Kinghorn and his staff! Highly recommended for his professionalism and superb surgical skills!

Dr. Kinghorn is by far the best doctor that I have been to. The old procedure always scared me, so I did research on the new procedures and found that he was the best doctor in the Northwest. I decided to make an appointment and see him about both of my bunions. I went to 1 appointment in which he told me I would be a great candidate for the bunionectomy. I got in 2 weeks after my initial appointment and had the surgery. He was very confident (which is what you want in a Dr.) and made me feel like everything would be great! Not only that he was very patient with me and put up with my crazy (worrier) self after the surgery and stayed professional and willing to help me. I wouldn't ever recommend going to anyone else! Everyone in his office is very friendly and fun and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!

Dr. Kinghorn is by far the best! He goes above and beyond for his patients putting their schedule and best interest ahead of his own. Both him and his staff have a great sense of humor while being very professional. I have a few more surgeries to do and I wouldn't recommend or go to anyone else. My six month old daughter loves them as well and that means the world to me.
You will not find anyone better than Dr. Kinghorn and his team- Guaranteed!

Dr. Longhorn is a highly professional, detail-oriented, and direct surgeon. I appreciate his thorough examination of both my feet, explaining the issues, and discussing potential repairs. He ensured I was well-prepared for surgery and recommended supplements to aid in healing and recovery. His holistic approach aims not only to address the problem but also to facilitate ongoing self-healing. The staff is also incredible, professional and very kind. Highly recommend!

Great experience, everyone in the office is kind and respectful as well as knowledgeable. Dr. Kinghorn was prompt, friendly, and communicated very clearly when answering my questions. Both 3d bunion surgeries went very smoothly as has the recovery process. If I had another foot that needed work, I'd be back, but hopefully I'm good for awhile.
Joella Cordell
Dr. Kinghorn and his staff were friendly and very informative about the corrections that were possible to relieve the pain I experienced in both feet. Before, during, and after surgery they took excellent care of me, addressing all of my concerns in a professional manner. I would highly recommend Dr. Kinghorn to anyone needing help with foot or ankle pain.
