Bun-Yo-Matic™ Lapidus Clamp Animation

The Bun-Yo-Matic™ Lapidus Clamp System is used to assist with the de-rotation, IM angle reduction, and joint closure in a Lapidus arthrodesis. It is an instrument to aid in correcting bunion deformities in a more reproducible and controlled manner, while allowing for options in surgeon fixation compatible with the device (Paragon 28 Phantom® Intramedullary Nail or Paragon 28 Gorilla® Lapidus Plate).
The Bun-Yo-Matic™ Lapidus Clamp System is equipped with cutting guides designed to remove minimal bone from the base of the first metatarsal and the medial cuneiform to prepare the joint for fusion. The guides help establish parallel cut surfaces to improve apposition and arthrodesis following correction.
The design then allows for guided corrections in all three planes while maintaining fluoroscopic visualization of the first metatarsal, sesamoids, and first TMT joint. The Bun-Yo-Matic™ Lapidus Clamp System is designed to be the “first on and last off” system in a Lapidus arthrodesis case, holding correction until fixation is complete.
