The Arrix Minimally Invasive Bunionectomy system is designed to facilitate precise correction and stabilization during minimally invasive bunion surgery. It incorporates a guided trajectory system that ensures accurate placement of hardware, specifically beveled FT screws tailored for bunion correction. These screws feature a zero-profile design with a 4.5° beveled head and non-compressive threads to maintain bone length and optimize fixation. The system’s instrumentation, including larger cannulation, reduces the risk of cortical skiving during screw insertion, enhancing surgical accuracy.

The procedure begins with marking the bony anatomy and midline of the metatarsal, followed by a small incision proximal to the sesamoid complex. A burr is introduced through the incision to perform a transverse osteotomy across both cortices, with continuous irrigation recommended to prevent thermal damage. The shifting device is then employed to apply any necessary rotational correction, and guide wires are placed to secure temporary and permanent fixation points. The guide is adjusted to align with the metatarsal midline, and multiple K-wires are inserted through designated sleeves to determine screw placement.

The length of the screws is measured using a depth gauge, and 4.0 mm screws or 3.5 mm beveled FT screws are inserted with fluoroscopic guidance to confirm proper alignment. Final adjustments to screw positioning can be made manually before removing the guide and shifting devices. An Akin osteotomy is recommended for comprehensive correction, with any residual bone shelf removal performed using a burr or rasp. Overall, the Arrix system offers a comprehensive solution for achieving precise alignment and fixation in minimally invasive bunion surgery.

Client Challenge:

The healthcare industry is undergoing a major transformation as medical professionals take over the advanced & latest technologies. This evolution is reshaping medical education, redefining how complex medical concepts are taught and understood. At the forefront of these innovations, 3D medical animation has become a powerful tool, greatly enhancing the learning experience.

Arthrex needed a powerful way to showcase their medical device to both B2B customers and distributors. Static brochures and product photos couldn’t capture its functionality, ease of use, or advanced precision. This made 3D animation the perfect solution—delivering a dynamic, engaging, and visually clear demonstration that traditional methods simply couldn’t achieve.

They needed a short, engaging video that could:

–> Clearly demonstrate functionality
–> Appeal to non-technical/medical viewers
–> Be used across marketing channels

That’s why medical device manufacturers like Arthrex turned to advanced technology and partnered with a leading animation production company to create an engaging 3D medical explainer video for Minimally Invasive Bunionectomy System—a device designed to effectively treat Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery.

The real challenge lay in achieving the perfect balance between scientific accuracy and simple, easy-to-understand visuals—an expertise that only a few animation studios can truly deliver.

Our Process:
