New Transveron™ osteotomy and single dual-zone screw fixation: Sixth generation minimally invasive bunion surgery

Abstract

Minimally invasive bunion surgery continues to experience generation evolution with the development of newer techniques and as advanced technology emerges. Having a common vernacular and universally accepted terms, the ideal construct/technique will materialize as we compare and contrast the generations through scientific literature. This paper outlines sixth generation MIBS that combines new never-been disclosed proprietary Transveron™ osteotomy techniques and technological implant advancements that make a single screw construct structurally feasible. This generational variational update, as outlined in the article, provides a stable construct while allowing for unrestricted lateral metatarsal head translation, frontal plane sesamoid positioning, rotational-control, lateral wall real estate preservation and increased bone healing potential.
