Surgical Technique - Final Fixation
Previous | Next Next
  • When the head of the Spin® comes into contact with the dorsal cortex, the holding device snaps off
  • If necessary, screw setting can be finalized with the specific screwdriver


  • Once the osteotomy is stabilized, the peak is removed with a saw or bone cutter

  • If necessary, the extensors can be lengthened by a Z-shaped release (Green Technique) after the metatarsal shortening (12)

 



Other cases
  • In case of metatarso-phalangeal luxation, the metatarsal shortening should be at least equivalent to the initial phalangeal retraction. (13)
