osteo-WEDGE_TM Benefits

Transverse plane correction – reduce intermetatarsal angle


Sagittal plane correction – plantarflex or dorsiflex the 1st metatarsal, if needed

Metatarsal parabola

Maintain metatarsal length


Shorten a long metatarsal


Lengthen a short metatarsal

Physician Benefits

Address the apex of the 1st ray deformity
Easy access
Stable fixation
Reduces the rate of recurrence

Patient Benefits

By addressing the apex of deformity there is a reduced chance of recurrence.

The thin plate reduces the need for device removal.

Locking screws reduce the need for screw removal.

Increased stability may reduce the period of non-weightbearing.

Decreased chance of additional surgical procedures since osteo-WEDGE_TM maintains or reestablishes
the metatarsal parabola and corrects both transverse and sagittal plane deformities.

Cost Effective

By addressing the apex of deformity there is a reduced chance of recurrence, the cost of revision bunion surgery
is > $10,000.00 (hospital, anesthesia and surgeon fees.)

The thin plate reduces the need for device removal, typical costs associated with taking a patient back to surgery
to remove painful internal hardware range from $5k to $7k (hospital, anesthesia and surgeon fees.)

Decrease the chance of additional surgical procedures. By maintaining the metatarsal parabola there won’t be a
need to perform additional metatarsal osteotomies that will require additional internal fixation.
