In2Bones Releases CoLink Vallux Active Bunion Procedure

In2Bones Global has launched its new CoLink Vallux Active Bunion, a minimally invasive, joint-sparing technique to treat moderate to severe bunions.
 
The implant and guided translational osteotomy technique improve on open fixation approaches and newer bunion surgeries via a simpler, faster procedure that doesn’t violate the joint or need a first tarsometatarsal joint fusion. The guided implant technique cuts down on multiple surgical steps. The implant consists of a zero-prominence plate and choice of non-locking and variable angle screws.
 
Surgeons can correct joint alignment in multiple dimensions without restricting joint space and not fusing the joint at the midfoot. This allows total range of motion preservation and cosmesis thanks to a small 1-2cm incision, compared to the 5-7cm incision required for Chevron osteotomy.
 
Active Bunion’s smaller incision and technique can reduce internal scarring and decrease post-op stiffness, pain, and complications.
 
“Patients prefer the smallest possible incision, and they do not want a fused joint unless absolutely necessary,” In2Bones’ exec VP of Commercial Jon Simon told the press. “The CoLink Vallux Active Bunion fulfills both of these patient demands.”
