Voom Medical Devices Inc. (Voom) claims it has developed a significant advancement to standard bunion repair surgery. Clinical interest reportedly is growing in its proprietary, minimally invasive Bunionplasty 360 Bunion Repair solution  as both surgeons and patients seek multi-dimensional approaches to the pain, disfigurement, and physical limitations caused by bunions.

“As patients continue to educate themselves about the difference between the 360 Bunion Repair and 3D or 4D, they deserve simple, transparent answers,” Voom Director of Surgeon Onboarding Dr. Bodgan Grecea said. “And once they complete their training with us, surgeons are excited to tell patients that there’s a comprehensive new solution that actually works for them and their lives.”
 
Unlike other surgical bunion correction methods, the minimally invasive, fusion-free Bunionplasty 360 Bunion Repair approach permits bone realignment from all angles, all planes, and all dimensions at all times. The procedure offers surgeons a more refined approach, one that may be used in treating bunions of all sizes and severities, according to the company. It represents a profound advancement over approaches designated “3D” or “4D” in that it corrects the true cause of bunions by realigning the big toe joint through first metatarsal regeneration rather than unnecessarily and permanently fusing an otherwise healthy midfoot.
 
“Patients don’t understand what 3D or 4D even means in the context of surgical bunion correction, and surgeons themselves have a hard time explaining it in a way that doesn’t sound like a gimmick, especially in light of its use of midfoot fusion,” Grecea noted. “One of the first things surgeons learn in our training is the reason we refer to the Bunionplasty procedure as a 360 Bunion Repair solution—it not only preserves the foot’s mobility, it restores its functionality.”
 
“We appreciate seeing the Leaning Tower of Pisa visual metaphor, which I originated 17 years ago and abandoned six years ago, currently being used today to describe 3D or 4D midfoot fusion-type procedures that permanently immobilize the building’s foundation, if you will,” Voom Founder/CEO Dr. Neal Blitz stated. “But we’ve listened to patients who refuse to fuse—they’re human beings, and their foundations are just fine. The Bunionplasty 360 Bunion Repair solution offers everything they need to move forward.”
