Insights
Paragon 28's launch of the SMART28℠ Case Management Portal represents a significant advancement in foot and ankle surgery technology. The platform's integration of AI, 3D modeling and patient-specific algorithms for bunion correction is groundbreaking. Key innovations include:
- 3D anatomy visualization from 2D X-rays, a first in the industry
- AI-driven surgical planning completed in just 10 minutes
- Real-time plan adjustments with immediate updates
- Integration with the Bun-Yo-Matic Lapidus Clamp for precise intraoperative control
This technology has the potential to improve surgical outcomes and reduce procedure times. However, its success will depend on surgeon adoption and real-world performance data, which are yet to be seen.
The SMART Bun-Yo-Matic℠ system is a game-changer for hallux valgus correction. As an orthopedic surgeon, I see immense value in its ability to provide 3D planning from weight-bearing CT or X-rays. This allows for a comprehensive understanding of the deformity and optimal correction planning. The system's capacity to detect abnormal anatomy and allow real-time adjustments is particularly impressive. However, it's important to note that while this technology offers unprecedented precision, surgical skill and experience remain paramount. The true test will be in long-term patient outcomes and whether this technology can consistently improve results across a wide range of cases and surgeons.
Paragon 28's SMART28℠ ecosystem positions the company at the forefront of AI-driven orthopedic solutions. This launch could significantly impact the
- Potential increase in Paragon 28's market share
- Pressure on competitors to develop similar AI-driven platforms
- Possible boost in adoption of minimally invasive foot surgery techniques
While the technology is promising, market success will hinge on factors such as pricing strategy, training programs for surgeons and clinical evidence demonstrating improved patient outcomes. Investors should monitor adoption rates and any expansion of the SMART28℠ ecosystem to other foot and ankle conditions.

The SMART28℠ Case Management Portal gives surgeons the ability to plan cases, coordinate surgery dates, and submit patient imaging. It will also serve as a direct line of communication with the Paragon 28 engineering and sales teams for real-time support, status updates, and surgical planning insights. The first module to launch within the Case Management Portal is SMART Bun-Yo-Matic℠ for bunion correction.
SMART Bun-Yo-Matic℠ has imaging optionality to input either patient weight-bearing X-rays or weight-bearing CT (“WBCT”) scans. It is the first foot and ankle orthopedic device on the market that allows the user to see the foot as 3D anatomy from two X-ray images. If a surgeon uses WBCT, they have access to “see inside the joint,” allowing the user to assess the joint distance distribution specific to their patient and compare it to normal joint alignment.
SMART Bun-Yo-Matic℠ revolutionizes preoperative planning and correction for hallux valgus by creating plans tailored to the individual patient. AI-driven algorithms and statistical shape modeling integrate with surgeon input, and within 10 minutes, export a surgical plan for correction, notifying the user if abnormal anatomy is detected. SMART BYM℠ allows the surgeon to adjust the plan in real time and exports a new surgical plan incorporating their recommended changes, if desired. The final surgical plan provides the surgeon user specific reference points that allow for additional reproducibility when paired with The Bun-Yo-Matic Lapidus Clamp, which can be used to identify, measure, and hold the planned corrections in place during the procedure.
Dr. Cesar De Cesar Netto, surgeon designer and one of the first users of the SMART Bun-Yo-Matic℠, says of the portal: “The ability to 3D plan your Hallux Valgus correction is crucial for understanding this complex deformity and optimizing multiplanar correction. Even more revolutionary is the capability to apply, control, and achieve the planned correction with the use of the Clamp. Precision down to the millimeter matters, the SMART Bun-Yo-Matic℠ system represents a significant advancement in improving precision and outcomes in Hallux Valgus surgery.”
Paragon 28’s CEO, Albert DaCosta, commented, “We could not be more excited about the launch of our SMART 28 Case Management Portal and SMART Bun-Yo-Matic cleared for weight-bearing CT and X-ray. This marks a tremendous step forward for Paragon 28 and we expect it will make a big impact on the future of foot and ankle surgery. With the SMART Bun-Yo-Matic℠, surgeons are able to efficiently plan a procedure in 3D and have the ability to precisely implement the plan with full intraoperative control.”
The SMART28℠ Case Management Portal is a foundational tool for future modules to span many additional foot and ankle conditions. With the introduction of SMART Bun-Yo-Matic℠, Paragon 28 has taken a giant leap forward in paving the way for surgeons to utilize artificial intelligence to optimize surgical outcomes for their patients.
