Two clinicians present a bunion surgery technique that preserves the first metatarsophalangeal joint and metatarsal bone. Patients show dynamic, propulsive walking patterns within four weeks of surgery, suggesting faster functional recovery than existing approaches.

Philosophically, it's, we are preserving a patient's natural anatomy.
We're preserving their joint, we're preserving the first metatarsal. We're allowing patients, if you saw some of the videos of our patients post-surgically, early on, 4 weeks post-surgical, they've got very dynamic gaits, very propulsive gaits, because their functionality has been improved around that big toe joint. And so that's, that's been very exciting to see.
You know, kind of an expanding opportunity to expand the market from what the current products offer as well.
