Bunion Surgery Video with SonicPin Fixation

Dr. Thomas Rocchio of PA Foot and Ankle Associates performs a bunionectomy using SonicPin. This unique procedure uses a heat activated polymer, instead of screws, to fixate the bones. With screw fixation in bunion surgery, some patients experience painful side effects from the screw head, requiring a second, minor surgical procedure to remove them. Fixation with SonicPin eliminates this problem. The unique polymer in SonicPin is liquified by sound waves and flows into the cavities of the bones where it cools down immediately and solidifies with all of the strength of a screw. As the bones heal, the polymer in SonicPin slowly biodegrades and is absorbed by the patient's body with no known side effects.
