The dynaBunion® Lapidus system gives surgeons the instruments and implants to correct bunions in 4 dimensions (4D) through a minimal-incision. A traditional Lapidus surgery requires surgeons to make a large incision and manually hold several small bones in 4D simultaneously while trying to attach a surgical plate. Frequently, surgeons wish for an “extra set of hands”. The dynaBunion® instruments act like an extra set of hands to drastically reduce the frustration of maintaining 4D alignment while performing a Lapidus procedure. This gives the surgeon the freedom to optimize the alignment and create a more accurate bunion correction.

Nitinol is a metal alloy developed by the U.S. Navy. It got its name because it is composed of essentially of 50% nickel and 50% titanium. Nitinol is frequently called “memory metal” because it is super-elastic and has shape-memory, which means it can be twisted or stressed and will return to its original structure.

Our proprietary Staple Compression Plates™ (SCPs) are the only plates which utilize a staple instead of a lag screw to provide compression. This gives three important advantages: Gap Recovery: Compressing the fusing joint if there is bone resorption, Apposition: Provides full bone surface contact, Speed: Reduces OR time by up to an hour, SCP gap recovery, apposition and speed (GAS) all work to give faster fusions and rapid recovery.
