An attachment for a drill includes an inner housing configured to be coupled to the drill. The attachment also includes an outer housing positioned at least partially around the inner housing. The attachment also includes a vertical guide coupled to or integral with the inner housing. The attachment also includes a horizontal guide coupled to or integral with the outer housing. The attachment also includes a guide adapter configured to move along the vertical guide and the horizontal guide. The inner housing and the vertical guide are configured to move vertically with respect to the outer housing and the guide adapter, and the inner housing and the guide adapter are configured to move laterally with respect to the horizontal guide and the outer housing.

Cutting tools, systems and methods for navigated procedures are provided. A cutting tool (e.g. oscillating blade, etc.) for a power tool has an optically trackable feature in a defined positional relationship relative to a cutting feature of the cutting tool. The trackable feature may include reflective material applied to a surface (e.g. a recessed blade surface). The trackable feature is be imaged by a camera integral with or attached to the power tool and provided to a computing unit of a navigation system to determine a relative pose of the cutting feature and camera. The camera may also track a patient's bone such that the computing unit may determine a relative position of the bone and camera. The unit then computes a relative pose of the cutting feature with respect to the patient's bone and provides same for determining display information and/or to a robotic controller for procedural control.

Surgical instruments and methods for performing an osteotomy are disclosed herein. A surgical instrument includes a body with a distal end, a proximal end, a first surface, and a second surface. The surgical instrument can include cutting burrs positioned on the first surface and/or the second surface. The surgical instrument can also include cutting burrs positioned on the first surface and cutting blades positioned on the second surface.

Methods of joint repair employing sutures and attached fixation devices are discussed. For example, a bone block graft procedure (e.g., Latarjet) is discussed which employs fixation devices to secure contact between graft surfaces of two bones. A suture construct, including a continuous suture loop routed through a first fastener, is secured to a first bone. Looped ends of the suture loop are passed through passageways formed in the two bones. The looped suture ends are further routed through a second fastener. The second fastener is mounted to the second bone and a sliding knot, formed in the looped suture ends, is advanced into contact with the second fastener. The suture is further tensioned using a tensioner device to secure the two bones together.

Methods and systems are disclosed for accessing and treating the interior of the facet joint for vertebral distraction and immobilization. The systems include a number of tools that facilitate access to the facet joint, distraction of the articulating decortication of the articulating surfaces, and delivery of implants and agents into the facet joint for fusion.

A medical device for treating hip joint osteoarthritis in a human patient by providing at least one artificial hip joint surface. The medical device comprises a prosthetic part or a bone plug adapted to be placed in a hole in the pelvic bone and a supporting member connected to said prosthetic part or bone plug, wherein the prosthetic part or the bone plug is adapted to be inserted into said hole from the abdominal side of the acetabulum and oriented, during the insertion, such that the concave interior surface is facing in the direction towards the caput femur. Wherein the medical device comprises an artificial caput femur surface or artificial acetabulum surface, and wherein a largest cross-sectional distance of said artificial caput femur or acetabulum surface is smaller than said hole, such that said artificial caput femur surface can pass through said hole.

A power tool for removing an intervertebral disc and preparing vertebral endplates is described. The power tool may include a cutting element, and the height of the cutting element may be adjustable. The cutting element may be a braided cable and may include one or more beads to enhance the effectiveness of the cable. The cutting element may have a minimum height requirement, which may not be satisfied in patients with a collapsed disc due to degenerative disc disorder. For these patients, also described are bone tamps for increasing the intervertebral distance and providing access to tissues distal to the tamp. One type of bone tamp features an inflatable balloon with an inner lumen. Another type of bone tamp includes an expanding distal end and an inner cannula. Also described is a manual expander scraper tool that is compatible with both types of bone tamp.

A surgical instrument for releasably connecting to a surgical tool, having three main sections that are able to articulate 360 degrees in 60-degree increments. The articulation of the sections allows for the distal end of the surgical instrument to be spatially offset from the proximal end, yet maintain parallel longitudinal axes. Varying surgical tools can be connected to the surgical instrument via an adapter.

A bone reamer includes a first member having a first hub and a second member having a second hub. The first hub can extend along a first axis and have a pair of elongated cutting arms that are fixed to the first hub. The elongated cutting arms can extend along a second axis that is generally perpendicular relative to the first axis. The first hub can define a track thereon. The second hub can extend along a third axis. The second member can have a second pair of elongated cutting arms that are fixed to the second hub and extend along a fourth axis that is generally perpendicular to the third axis. The second member can have a track follower extending thereon and that is configured to slidably advance along the track causing the first and second members to move between a collapsed position and an expanded position.

Systems and methods may display an indication of an impact force from a driving device. A method may include displaying the indication of the impact force with a light. The light may be located on the driving device, a component attached to the driving device, a user interface, or the like. Different colors may be used to indicate different impact forces. For example, a first light color may correspond to an impact force below a first threshold, a second light color may correspond to an impact force above a second threshold, and a third light color may correspond to an impact force between the thresholds. The impact force may be detected using a sensor, which may output a voltage to cause the illumination.
