Misonix Ultrasonic bone Scalpel

I would like to introduce to you a great new innovation in bone surgery called the Misonix ultrasonic bone scalpel.

Misonix Ultrasonic bone Scalpel

This is a device that allows for accurate removal of bone when necessary with out the complications that can arise while using traditional bone saws. Many foot surgeries call for the  removal of bone or to cut bone. Sometimes there is infected bone such as osteomyelitis that needs to be removed . Sometime there are fractures that healed in the wrong position or did not heal at all that is known as Malunions and Nonunions.  these bones may need to be recut to put them back in the proper position. The challenge in these cases is that the bone can either be to hard or too soft. These suboptimal conditions can lead to inaccurate bone cuts or increased heat while cutting the bones of the foot or ankle. Which can cause the bone not to heal.

The Misonix bone scalpel is a great addition to the operating room for these complex foot and ankle surgeries. using ultrasonic technology one can have accurate bone cuts while preserving the cellular content of the bone that is left behind. Thereby allowing the remaining bone to have the opportunity to heal properly.

When we perform surgery we want to limit as much as possible any risks to vital structures. While it is impossible to remove all risk my goal is to make use of what is available to limit as much as possible. Using this device especially while performing appropriate MIS , minimal incision surgery we can perform deformity correction of the foot with limiting risks to vital structures such as arteries and nerves. Since there is the use  of ultrasound it limits many issues that arise when using the traditional bone cutters.

Below is a video of myself performing a removal of extra bone from the ankle using the misonix bone scalpel.
