  3. Austin bunionectomy with long dorsal arm
This Austin uses two screws for fixation.

  4. Austin bunionectomy with absorbable pin fixation
As the name implies, two absorbable pins are shown as fixation.

  5. Austin bunionectomy with Akin osteotomy
This procedure is shown without fixation to allow the surgeon to explain their personal preference and technique.

  6. Scarf (Z) bunionectomy
Two screw fixation shown for this procedure.

  7. McBride bunionectomy
Classic McBride shown with sesamoidectomy.

  8. CBWO with screw fixation
Uses an oblique wedge osteotomy to allow for screw fixation.

  9. CBWO with Akin osteotomy
This procedure is shown without fixation to allow the surgeon to explain their personal preference and technique.

  10. Akin bunionectomy with screw fixation
This is a modified Akin using a long oblique wedge osteotomy of the proximal phalanx to allow for single screw fixation.

  11. Akin bunionectomy with monofilament wire fixation
Uses a transverse osteotomy. May also be used to explain k-wire or staple fixation.

  12. Logroscino Procedure
Closing base wedge osteotomy with screw fixation combined with a Reverdin Osteotomy and monofilament wire (or non-absorbable suture) fixation. May also be used to illustrate the principle behind a Reverdin bunionectomy.

  13. Keller Bunionectomy
Treatment of 1st MPJ DJD.

  18. Oblique Tilt-up Osteotomy
Shows both the frontal and sagittal plane view of this osteotomy and fixation with k-wire or screw.

  19. 1ST Met-Cuneiform Exostectomy
Resection of classic saddle bone deformity.

Digital Arthroplasties

  20. Straight Incision
Proximal phalangeal head resection of a lesser digit using longitudinal incision.

  21. Converging Semi-elliptical Incision
As above but excises the dorsal corn via semi-elliptical incisions.

  22. Fifth Toe Derotational Arthroplasty
Correction of varus rotated fifth toe with heloma involves derotation skinplasty via two semi-elliptical incisions followed by proximal phalangeal head resection.

Digital Fusions

  23. Peg and Hole
Lesser digital arthrodesis using peg and hole technique.

  24. End to End
Shows the correction of a rigid hammer-toe by fusion w/ k-wire fixation. This animation can also be used to demonstrate a lesser digital arthroplasty with pinning.

  25. Subungual Exostectomy
Minimal incision approach is used to reduce this deformity.

Single screw fixation for the treatment of deformed fifth metatarsal.

  29. Tailor's Bunion Correction w/ Monofilament wire fixation
Fifth metatarsal osteotomy with stainless steel wire fixation.

  30. Tailor's Bunion Correction without fixation
Sliding oblique fifth metatarsal osteotomy without fixation. May be used to demonstrate reverse Austin for tailor's bunion correction.
