Small Toe Arthritis Repair with Trim-It Spin Pin™ System

The pip arthroplasty using the TRIM-IT spin pin is a technique designed to treat severe arthritis of the toe by removing the joint and fuzing the bones together. The surgeon begins by exposing the joint and cutting the end off of both bones. This exposes the fresh bleeding bone and allows the bones to heal together, eliminating the joint. A drill is used to create a tunnel of predetermined length in the proximal phalanx, or largest bone in the toe. The TRIM-IT spin pin is then drilled through the other toe bones and out the tip of the toe. The pin is measured and cut to the desired length. It is then backed out until the cut surfaces of the toes can be compressed together, and then it is drilled to the desired depth in the proximal phalanx. The bones of the toe will then heal together, eliminating a joint between them and eliminating arthritis pain.
