Product Overview
The Axi+Line Proximal Bunion Correction System addresses treatment of deformities of larger angles and addresses correction in the frontal plane.
• Corrects both IM angle and frontal plane deformity
- 87.3% of patients with hallux valgus have abnormal frontal plane rotation (pronation) of the 1st metatarsal
- Other proximal/midshaft osteotomies, such as the Scarf do not address the frontal plane deformity, which has been shown to result in a recurrence rate of 78 percent
• The long oblique Proximal Modified Mau osteotomy
- Provides intrinsic stability that may allow (at surgeon’s discretion) for early weight bearing
- Maximizes fusion surface area and provides the ability to correct moderate to large angular deformities
- Avoids violating a healthy metatarsal-cuneiform joint compared to a Lapidus procedure
- Minimizes the probability of shortening compared to performing sawcut Lapidus procedure without use of the interposition autograft
• Osteotomy guide
- Provides a templated path for a precise osteotomy
• Instrumentation provides full control of all bone fragments during the procedure and allows for a seamless transition from templating to plating
- Four angles of correction built into the plate, providing a self-reducing, 5-hole construct with bicortical locking or non-locking screw options
- Sterile kit – provides added efficiency and convenience for surgical team (https://www.nextremitysolutions.com)
