ABSTRACT
An introduction to the biodegradable Biofix rod for use in podiatric surgery is presented. Its application for Austin-type bunionectomies is described. The advantages and shortcomings are compared to traditional internal fixation. For procedures necessitating osteotomy stability, the Biofix rod is another option for the podiatric surgeon.
