About Hallux Fixator Internal
Osteosynthesis implant for correction of Hallux–valgus malalignments and deformities, the internal hallux fixator is a dynamic osteosynthesis implant, which is used in distal osteotomy of the first metatarsal bone for correction of malalignments of the hallux valgus.
The osteotomy is a subcapital angular osteotomy of the first metatarsal in a plane with arms opened in a distal direction at an angle of 90°–120°. The metatarsal head is impacted without any additional incisions, by moving, tipping and turning it into the desired position. Since the fragments do not require a surface contact but merely an osseous contact at two points, lateralization up to the width of the medullary canal is possible.
