Stryker launched PROstep MIS Lapidus, a new internal fixation system intended for treating bunions using a minimally invasive surgical reduction of hallux valgus deformity and subsequent fusion of the first metatarsal cuneiform joint.
The new technology features MIS joint preparation, triplanar reduction and a three-screw construct designed to create a tension band for biomechanical stability.
Proposed benefits of the PROstep MIS Lapidus system include:
- 2.5% decrease in recurrence compared to open Lapidus procedures
- 9% reduction in non-union rates as a result of MIS Lapidus joint preparation
- 76% reduction in scar size compared to open bunion correction procedures
- Less opioid usage post-op compared to open Lapidus procedures
