Refuse to fuse!
Joint fusion is currently the most prevalent way to treat MTP joint disorders. But joint fusion is an irreversible and life-altering procedure that should only be used as a last resort. While joint fusion does reduce MTP joint pain, it also makes it impossible to bend your big toe.

Joint fusion destroys the joint
Joint fusion is currently the most prevalent way to treat MTP joint disorders. But joint fusion is an irreversible and life-altering procedure that should only be undertaken as a last resort.
- Destroys the joint
- Eliminates range of motion
- Weight-bearing after 6 weeks

The Accu-Joint® restores joint motion
Joint fusion is currently the most prevalent way to treat MTP joint disorders. But joint fusion is an irreversible and life-altering procedure that should only be undertaken as a last resort.
- Preserves the joint
- Restores joint motion
- Weight-bearing on day one
- Short, active recovery period
- Reduces or removes joint pain
Over the years I’ve had four separate surgeries to try and relieve the joint pain in my left big toe. None of them worked. With each surgery my pain got worse. After the Accu-Joint® Implant surgery, my toe pain disappeared. Not only that, I now have range of motion in my joint and can walk normally. The results are a miracle.

Frequently asked questions
- It is designed to replace the cartilage in your joint so that the natural movement of your toe is preserved as opposed to having a fusion, which eliminates the ability of your toe to bend.
- The Accu-Joint® Implant is intended to be non-weight bearing and rely on the hard bone of your toe to support body weight, particularly during exercise when the weight of the body placed on your toes can double or even triple.
- The procedure is straightforward, usually takes less than an hour and patients are expected to begin putting weight on their toe soon after surgery.
