Accu-Cut® Osteotomy Guide System

The Accu-Cut® Osteotomy Guide System is a disposable, sterile packaged system that includes guide(s), two universal saw blades, and two 0.045 double trocar K-wires. Guides are available for the most popular distal metatarsal osteotomies to address mild to moderate hallux valgus deformity. Using an Accu-Cut Osteotomy Guide ensures precise and accurate cuts every time, which is proven to provide improved stability and reduce the risk of displacement.

  • All-inclusive sterile package provides the surgeon with everything needed to perform the desired osteotomy.
  • Consistent and accurate correction reduces the risk of displacement.
  • Sterile packaged system reduces OR setup time and eliminates instrument cleanup.

Chevron (Austin) Guide

Kit Reference #19505 

The standard Chevron Guide offers a classic v-shape chevron osteotomy to address hallux valgus by lateral transposition of the metatarsal head. The guide features a 55° angle with 16mm long cutting slots.

Youngswick Guide

Kit Reference #19506,19507,19508

The Youngswick Guide is available in either 1mm, 2mm, or 3mm dorsal wedges for performing a Youngswick chevron modification to address both hallux valgus and hallux rigidus. The guides feature a 55° angle with 16 and 19mm long cutting slots.

Long-Arm Guide

Kit Reference #19510

The Long-Arm Guide is a chevron modification with a long dorsal arm for multiple screw fixation. The guide features a 45° angle with a 28mm long dorsal cutting slot and 16mm long plantar cutting slot. Additionally, the guide offers three proximal mounting holes spaced 11° apart, allowing intra-operative adjustment of the cut angle.

Scarf Guide

Kit Reference #19511

The Scarf Guide is a “Z” shaped guide to assist in the popular Scarf procedure. The system includes two guides, a large and a small, for customization of the osteotomy based on the anatomy of the patient’s metatarsal. The short guide features a 38mm long transverse cutting slot with four distal dorsal and four proximal plantar cutting slots. The long guide features a 50mm long transverse cutting slot with three distal dorsal and three proximal plantar cutting slots. 

DMAA Guide

Kit Reference #19720

The DMAA Guide allows for correction of DMAA (Distal Metatarsal Articular Angle) or PASA (Proximal Articular Set Angle) with one simple guide. The guide features a chevron cut with a second dorsal slot, angled at 10°. This allows for lateral transposition plus rotation of the head. 

Two-Stage Guide

Kit Reference #19509

The Two-Stage Guide allows for correction of DMAA (Distal Metatarsal Articular Angle) or PASA (Proximal Articular Set Angle) with two guides similar to the Reverdin-Gerbert procedure. The system includes a Stage-1 guide for a standard 55° chevron cut, along with three angled Stage-2 guides allowing 5°, 10°, or 15° of rotation along with lateral transposition. 

Predictable Results.

A study was conducted to determine the accuracy of a freehand osteotomy, wire-guided osteotomy, and an osteotomy with an Accu-Cut Osteotomy Guide during a chevron procedure where 55 degrees is recommended.  Students (green), Residents (red), and Physicians (orange) performed the procedure with each method. The mean angles with the Accu-Cut Guide System resulted in precise and predictable results for all experience levels. Precise cuts allow for optimal bone contact which may reduce the chance of non-union or displacement of the osteotomy.

Your all-inclusive system for metatarsal osteotomies.

Our sterile packaged systems provide the surgeon with everything needed to perform the desired osteotomy. The custom sawblades feature inline teeth for a low-profile, uniform thickness allowing for tighter tolerances within the guide slots.
