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.

Fusion

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
  • 6-8 weeks recovery
  • Can result in pain in other parts of the foot

Learn how the Accu-Joint® Implnt is changing lives.

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

Who is the Accu-Joint® Implant for?
The Accu-Joint® Implant is a medical device for the treatment of painful arthritic greater and lesser toe joints of the foot. The system has been developed to help maintain normal function and reduce pain. It’s purpose is to replicate the normal motion of your joint. The Accu-Joint® Implant is specifically designed to remove only the damaged cartilage, and replace it with a minimally invasive titanium implant designed to maximize motion.
Can I use the Accu-Joint® Implant if I have already had a joint fusion?
This may be possible in selected cases of fusion that did not require a bone graft.
What is an MTP joint disorder?
The Metatarsal Phalangeal (MTP) Joints are the joints where the foot meets the toes. MTP disorders are defined as a joint deformity or bone disease that results in an arthritic joint after a period of time. These disorders are often painful and make it difficult to put weight on your toes and move your joints.
What are the benefits of the Accu-Joint® Implant?
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. The procedure is straightforward, usually takes less than an hour and patients are expected to begin putting weight on their toe soon after surgery.
Will I retain motion of my MTP joint after the Accu-Joint® Implant procedure?
The Accu-Joint® Implant has been developed to improve the ability of your toes to bend and move so that you can put weight on your foot and achieve an acceptable quality of life.
