“We're not removing a lot of bone”
“My patients with the Accu-Joint® are the happiest of all my patients. They're walking in to follow up appointments, they're moving the foot early, the swelling is minimal, and there's really not a lot of pain. The Accu-Joint® doesn’t burn any bridges. We're not removing a lot of bone, so if we need to ever do anything again in the future, all the options exist.”Introducing the Accu-Joint® Hemi Implant
The Accu-Joint® Implant replaces worn cartilage while preserving the subchondral bone end, providing a true articular surface replacement. The implant is sized 10-15% smaller than the bone end diameter so the patient’s existing anatomy, not the implant, bears body weight. By preserving the joint’s anatomical structures, the procedure can help maintain strength and stability for foot function.
- The solid stem with cancellous threads ensures the implant is securely fixed to the hard subchondral bone.
- The threaded barrel, wider than the stem, helps transfer stress from the stem to subchondral bone.
- Grooves and scalloped edges under the head allow for bone ingrowth to help prevent loosening.
- The implant is sized 10% smaller than the bone end to help transfer weight to preserved bone instead of the implant.
Learn how the Accu-Joint® Implant compares to fusion and other implants
The Accu-Joint® implant is the next generation solution that addresses the failures of the past and sets new standards in podiatric care.
A Smarter Way to Treat Joint Pain
The Accu-Joint® Implant is designed to replace worn cartilage without removing large portions of bone. By preserving the patient’s natural anatomy and transferring weight through existing bone structures, the implant can help reduce pain while keeping options open for future treatments.
Smarter Design
- Non-weight bearing
- Keeps options open (Doesn’t burn bridges)
- Rigid fixation
A Better Alternative to Fusion
- Maintain normal gait cycle
- Flexibility with shoe gear
- Fast, active recovery
Anatomic Preservation
- Preserve hard bone for adequate fixation
- Maintains subconderal support structures
- Only 1mm of bone resection
Surgical Technique
“My toe pain disappeared”
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.
