In2Bones commenced commercial launch of the CoLink Vallux™ Active Bunion, a minimally invasive, joint-sparing correction technique for moderate to severe bunions.
The Active Bunion implant and guided translational osteotomy technique offer an alternative to traditional open fixation approaches as well as newer bunion surgeries by providing surgeons with a simpler, faster procedure that doesn’t violate the joint or require a first tarsometatarsal joint fusion.
The implant comprises a zero-prominence CoLink Vallux™ plate and a choice of non-locking and variable angle locking screws for enhanced angular stability, together with a full instrument set.
The result of the procedure is total range of motion preservation and superior cosmesis via a much smaller incision of 1-2 cm, compared with the larger incision required for Chevron osteotomy (5-7 cm).
The Active Bunion’s smaller incision and technique as a whole reduces internal scarring compared with other bunion corrections, decreasing the typical postoperative stiffness, pain and potential for wound complications.
The Active Bunion procedure can typically be completed in about 20 minutes, compared to 40-60 minutes plus for more invasive and complex corrections. Recovery can also be shorter than traditional bunion surgeries. With no joint violation, which preserves the total range of motion, patients may return to weight-bearing activity sooner, with less physical therapy.
The Active Bunion’s evolved technique, technology, and fixation solution is intended to address over 90% of bunion cases.
