Abstract: The system for surgical correction of a bunion includes a capital fragment positioner and a guide wire targeting assembly. The positioner has an L-shaped handle having a transverse post extending across the end of the long arm of the handle and two tubes at opposite ends of the post extending orthogonally to the plane of the handle. The handle extends obliquely from the post to enable fluoroscopic visualization of the capital fragment. The guide wire targeting assembly includes a lower block that may be secured to the foot by K-wires and an upper block rotatably mounted on the lower block. The upper block supports guide wire tubes and is rotated to position the guide wires across the osteotomy cut in the metatarsal bone. Cannulated fixation screws are inserted over the guide wires in proper position to fix bones on opposite sides of the osteotomy.
