Metal screws for bunion correction? That’s so last season. 🏀

With OSSIOfiber®, the game has changed:
✅ Strength you can count on while healing
✅ No “surprise” second surgery for hardware removal
✅ Full biointegration into your own bone

Patients are increasingly wanting metal-free solutions for their bunion correction procedure. Why play with outdated hardware when you can win with the future of bunion correction? That’s the OSSIOfiber® Difference.

What’s your revision decision? 🤔

A 5-month post-op patient presents with persistent pain and functional limitations following a minimally invasive medial naviculocuneiform (NC) joint arthrodesis using 2 metal screws.

Case Background: This patient was previously treated for a medial column issue with NC arthrodesis but now exhibits pain with passive NC motion and weightbearing, which is contributing to an inability to perform activities of daily living.
Imaging (X-ray + CT) confirmed nonunion at the NC joint. NC joint arthrodesis is notoriously difficult—even when performed in isolation—due to its high mechanical demands. Nonunion rates in the literature range from 0% to over 24%.

Scarred from the experience with metal implants, the patient strongly believed the prior hardware contributed to the failed fusion and wants to try something more natural.

So here’s the the challenge: How would you approach revision of this failed fusion site? Does the presence of adjacent joint arthritis change your strategy?

💬 Drop your revision plan below ⬇️ and we’ll share Dr. Cody Togher’s approach next Wednesday!

Fall. Heal. Get back up again. 🚲

With OSSIOfiber®, kids don’t have to carry metal after surgery or face a potential hardware removal procedure. Our metal-free fixation technology is now approved for children as young as 2—offering strong, secure healing without the need for removal procedures later on.

No lingering hardware. No long-term complications. Just support that becomes part of the bone. 🩹

This Fourth of July, we're celebrating freedom from permanent hardware. 🎆
Two-part distal radius fracture? OSSIOfiber® delivers a metal-free solution with strength you can count on. ✌️

In this case, Dr. Pedro Loredo in Dallas treated a distal radius fracture with DRUJ involvement using a 4.5mm Threaded Trimmable Fixation Nail placed distal to proximal into the radial styloid, and a 3.5mm Compression Screw placed proximal to distal to capture the DRUJ fragment.

💡 OSSIOfiber® Threaded Trimmable Nails offer unmatched rotational stability, and thanks to our bio-integrative technology, they gradually transforming into bone while eliminating long-term hardware concerns.

The result: strong, stable fixation that transforms into bone and preserves the natural landscape. 🙌

100% patient satisfaction? Yes please. 💚

Traditional hammertoe procedures can come with their share of challenges—pin site infections, hardware migration, or painful removals. The OSSIOfiber® Hammertoe Fixation Implant was designed to support strong, lasting PIP fusions while integrating naturally with the bone, leaving nothing behind.

In a clinical study, the implant demonstrated a favorable safety profile with no serious adverse events and high radiographic fusion rates.

Fusion that disappears. Performance that lasts.

Surgery isn’t about what patients lose—it’s about what they stand to regain.

Mobility. Comfort. The ability to keep doing what they love. 💚

This , we’re spotlighting Dr. Daniel Popowitz, DPM, and his patient: a 71-year-old woman with long-standing arthritis and MTP joint deformity. A daily yoga enthusiast, she put off surgery for years—hesitant to compromise her active lifestyle or face the stigma of painful hardware and removal surgery. 🧘‍♀️🤸‍♀️

But when given the option for a metal-free fusion with OSSIOfiber®, she took the leap. Using a 20mm OSSIOfiber® Compression Staple and 4.5mm Threaded Trimmable Fixation Nail, Dr. Popowitz delivered the fixation she needs now, that will be gone when she doesn't!
