CoLink Vallux™ Active Bunion is a new, minimally invasive, joint-sparing correction technique for moderate to severe bunions. Surgeons can correct joint alignment in multiple dimensions while avoiding any restriction of the joint space and not fusing the joint at the midfoot. The implant, a zero-prominence CoLink Vallux™ plate and a choice of non-locking and variable angle locking screws, and guided translational osteotomy technique improve on traditional open fixation approaches as well as newer bunion surgeries by providing surgeons with a simpler, faster procedure that can address over 90% of bunion cases. Active Bunion’s small incision of 1–2cm and technique as a whole reduces internal scarring compared with other bunion corrections, decreasing typical postoperative stiffness, pain, and potential for wound complications. The procedure can typically be completed in about 20 minutes, compared to 40–60 minutes for other more invasive and complex corrections.
