The repair system may include some or all of the following instruments: a metatarsal head pusher employed in open surgical space, to move the 'capital fragment' in a controlled manner; a suture retriever instrument and a suture retriever funnel (sleeve); a suture passer such as a Mini Scorpion DX and accompanying needle, or a variety of shaped Micro Suture Lassos; a measuring guide; and a small joint distractor.
