Chevron osteotomy for hallux valgus correction, operation with bioabsorbable ActivaPin™ by Dr. Treia

Orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Fabio Treia from Rome, Italy, corrects patients hallux valgus with chevron osteotomy and only one ActivaPin™. The Osteotomy is done with a bioabsorbable ActivaPin™. This pin naturally dissolves from the body and is later replaced by bone. This significantly reduces patients stress and removes the need for implant removal operations. These implants are fully moldable and customisable for the surgeon’s preferences. Only one ActivaPin™ is enough. Hallux valgus is a foot deformity, where the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint is affected. The condition is painful and can cause significant disability. Hallux valgus correction with only one ActivaPin™ leaves the patient without shoe rubbing metal plating and unnecessary removal operations. The grooved design of ActivaPin™ surface with expanding diameter, 1-2 %, offers a new type of stabilization to the osteotomies.
