A Minimally Invasive Solution for Hallux Valgus

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has been evolving in recent years, and a new screw system supports surgeons’ abilities to reduce bunions with MIS techniques. The Revcon^™ screw system features the new Revcon^™ Anchor line and manufacturer Voom Medical Devices notes it is the only single-screw minimally invasive hallux valgus system. The company notes that Revcon has multiple purchase zones to work with the bone’s natural density, and that the screw can optimize fixation and reduce soft tissue injury.
