Abstract: A bunion correcting medical device is disclosed that does not require the removal of bone to perform the correction. The device provides the surgeon with the ability to correct an undesirable Inter Metatarsal (IM) angle, and to tailor the correction to the specific needs of a particular patient. Further, the bunion correcting medical device comprises a plate that is distal to the tibialis anterior tendon which provides for a more stable fixation and prevents narrowing of the bone, thereby providing a stronger repair. Thus, the bunion correcting medical device provides for more accurate and precise corrections, and the patient is able to bear weight on the affected bone structure.
