Lapidus Procedure 3D Bunion Correction (Hallux Valgus) in Orthorehab Center
About the clinic
The Lapidus procedure for 3D bunion correction is available at the Orthorehab Center in Alimos, Athens. This surgery fixes hallux valgus deformities using minimally invasive techniques that allow most patients to walk on the same day. Dr. Athanasios Badekas leads the treatment, bringing specialized training from top international institutions to every case.
Advanced Bunion Correction Techniques
The Orthorehab Center uses a personalized approach for every patient. The medical team chooses specific surgical methods based on the unique shape of the foot deformity. They often combine bunion correction with treatments for other issues like hammer toes, metatarsalgia, or bunionettes. These minimally invasive methods help reduce recovery time and physical trauma.
Before surgery, the clinic uses digital tools to plan the procedure. These diagnostic steps include:
- Pedobarography: This test measures the pressure under your feet while you stand or walk.
- Gait analysis: This study looks at how your foot moves during a full step.
- 3D planning: Doctors use these results to choose the best angle for the Lapidus correction.
Expert Orthopedic Care in Greece
Dr. Athanasios Badekas is an Orthopedic Surgeon specializing in foot and ankle surgery. He was the first Greek orthopedist to receive advanced training specifically for hallux valgus. Dr. Badekas has served as a visiting professor of foot and podiatric surgery at New York University’s Hospital for Joint Diseases. He is also a member of several major international medical societies focused on foot health.
Recovery and Specialized Support
The Orthorehab Center has provided musculoskeletal care for over 30 years. Their focus is on helping patients return to their normal lives as quickly as possible. Because the clinic uses modern surgical methods, patients typically begin walking shortly after the procedure ends. This early movement helps maintain joint health and speeds up the overall healing process. The team integrates diagnosis, surgery, and rehabilitation into one path for the patient.
