On (b)(6) 2020 i had an outpatient procedure to correct my bunion undergoing a "3-d lapiplasty" advertised by treace co (b)(6).Since that date i have suffered from worse pain in my foot than prior to surgery.The pain is constant when ambulating, along the area of where i believe the surgical hardware was implanted.As a result of this ongoing pain and interference with ambulation i suffered a serious fall fracturing my distal radius bone, surgery, and implant of plates, pins and screws in my arm.I have had numerous (> 30) physical therapy appts to improve the foot pain to no avail.The pain is worse than before my surgery and interferes with my enjoying things i did prior to the bunion surgery.I believe that this procedure needs to be investigated by the fda.I question the authenticity of what they advertise and inform the patient about.I am suspect that the surgical hardware is the culprit in my case along with an "overcorrection" of bone placement intra-operatively.Fda safety report id# (b)(4).
