MIB (Minimally Invasive Bunion) Plating System
The Minimally Invasive Bunion (MIB) Plating System is a unique approach to triplanar hallux valgus correction. The MIB plate minimizes soft tissue disruption by only requiring a small incision site, and provides a quick, solid construct.
The Minimally Invasive Bunion Plating System is comprised of titanium plates designed for fixation of osteotomies and corrective procedures of the hallux and associated disorders such as hallux valgus. The Minimally Invasive Bunion Plating System utilizes 2.4mm locking and non-locking screws with lengths of 16–24mm from the Gridlock Plating System and 2.4mm cannulated screws with lengths of 22–28mm from the Tiger Cannulated Screw System. Available plates, screws, and instrumentation will be packaged as a single system. The system instruments include handles, drill bits, drill guides, placement guides, broach, guide wires, depth gauges, countersinks, retractor, screw removal tool, and screwdrivers to facilitate the placement of the plates. The implants and guide wires are intended for single use only.

We believe in Powering Motion™—the company’s philosophy to “get and keep people moving”—is based on the idea that activity is the key to living a healthier lifestyle, better treatment outcomes, and improved healthcare economics for all. We do this by delivering a complete Orthopedic Continuum of Care from performance and mobility to surgical intervention and postoperative rehabilitation.
- The MIB assembly allows for simultaneous correction in the frontal, transverse, and sagittal planes by utilizing a transverse osteotomy
- Multi-directional compression and stabilization of the osteotomy is achieved by using 2.4mm distal locking screws in conjunction with two anti-rotational, crossing, interfragmentary screws
- The titanium plate masks the osteotomy for minimal, medial palpability through the transition between the distal shoulder and proximal intramedullary spade
- All MIB system instrumentation and implants are contained in a single, small, autoclavable tray
The Minimally Invasive Bunion Plating System is intended for fixation of osteotomies and corrective procedures of the hallux and associated disorders such as hallux valgus.
Use of the Minimally Invasive Bunion Plating System is contraindicated in cases of active or suspected infection or in patients who are immunocompromised; in patients previously sensitized to titanium; or in patients with certain metabolic diseases. It is further contraindicated in patients exhibiting disorders which would cause the patient to ignore the limitations of internal fixation.
1. Re-operation to remove or replace implants may be required at any time due to medical reasons or device failure. If corrective action is not taken, complications may occur.
2. Use of an undersized screw in areas of high functional stresses may lead to implant fracture and failure.
3. Instruments, guide wires and screws are to be treated as sharps. 4. Reuse of devices indicated as single use can result in decreased mechanical and clinical performance of devices.
