About the Conference

PRESENT Bunions Conference is a state-of-the-art interactive 8 CECH-accredited virtual medical conference. This comprehensive one-day virtual conference is designed for podiatric surgical practices. Learn through didactic lectures and product demonstrations to help you make highly informed decisions, while incorporating cutting-edge surgical technologies to improve patient care and outcomes. Dr Harold Schoenhaus is the Conference Chairman. This important conference will be taught by our nation’s top key opinion leaders from leading teaching institutions from around the country. The education focuses on evidence-based next-generation surgical techniques for correction of Hallux Valgus, Hallux Limitus/Hallux Rigidus and hammertoe deformities as these deformities significantly affect the active lifestyle of patients of all ages. Proper evaluation of these deformities will also be discussed to assist podiatric surgeons on appropriate surgical procedures with proven outcomes, fixation methods, and the understanding of the indications and alternatives for the correction of 1st MTPJ arthritis. Attendees will learn about new concepts, minimally invasive surgical procedures, pathomechanics of deformities, radiographic evaluations, fixation alternatives, site specific procedures, instrument utilization, postop surgical management, and options for great toe joint implants vs fusion. Complications will be discussed along with recommendations for correction and prevention.

CyclaPlex Correction System

What an exciting topic to be able to focus on approaches to reduce the first intermetatarsal angle associated with Hallux Abducto-Valgus. The position of the first ray is critical in the correction of deformity and long-term results. Fusions at the first met cuneiform joint or various locations first ray osteotomies have been the norm. Cyclaplex Correction System will demonstrate how to reduce the I.M. angle and maintain its' position WITHOUT osteotomies or fusions. It is a major alternative approach with enhanced post-op weight bearing post operatively. How controversial is this? Join us and formulate your own opinions.
