Bone graft delivery system and method for using same
11583416 · 2023-02-21 · ·

A bone graft delivery system can include an elongate tube and a handle having a trigger and a ratcheting mechanism. The trigger is actuated to deliver bone graft material through the tube. The bone graft delivery system can further include a distal tip at a distal end of the tube. The tip has one or more openings to deliver the bone graft material to a desired location and includes a surface suitable to act as a rasp for decorticating bone. A method for delivering bone graft material to a desired surgical location includes providing a bone graft delivery device, positioning the device adjacent the surgical location, decorticating bone, and delivering bone graft material to the surgical location.

SURGICAL IMPACTING TOOL INTERFACES
20220361934 · 2022-11-17 ·

Various exemplary surgical impacting tool interfaces and methods of using surgical impacting tool interfaces are provided. In general, a surgical impacting tool includes a locking assembly configured to releasably attach to an adapter. In response to engagement with the adapter, the locking assembly is configured to move from an unlocked configuration, in which the adapter is not releasably attached to the surgical impacting tool (nor is any other adapter releasably attached to the surgical impacting tool via the locking assembly), to a locked configuration, in which the adapter is releasably attached to the surgical impacting tool via the locking assembly. The locking assembly is configured to receive the adapter in a longitudinal direction along a longitudinal axis defined by the locking assembly and to automatically lock the adapter to the surgical impacting tool.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING A TIBIAL BASEPLATE SYSTEM
20220361895 · 2022-11-17 ·

A tibial baseplate system is described. While the system can include any suitable component, in some instances, it includes tibial baseplate having a first and second surface, the second surface being substantially opposite to the first surface, which is configured to be seated on a resected surface at a proximal end of a tibia. In some cases, the baseplate also includes a first spacer coupling that is configured to couple a first spacer to at least one of a lateral side and a medial side of the baseplate such that the spacer is disposed between, and is configured to maintain a set minimal distance between, the proximal end of the tibia and a distal end of a femur when the tibial baseplate is seated on the resected surface at the proximal end of the tibia and the spacer is coupled to the tibial baseplate. Other implementations are discussed.

Methods and devices for surgical access

A surgical instrument assembly includes a support frame system, and a surgical tool engageable with the support frame system. The support frame system is adapted for providing a surgical tool attachment and articulation locus that is maintained during the course of a surgical procedure to direct a fixed and repeatable delivery path for introduction and manipulation of one or more surgical instruments and implants at a surgical site in or on the patient's anatomy. The delivery path can be substantially curvilinear along an arc that is defined by a radius of curvature and length defined by the surgical tool, and a predetermined range of articulation of the tool at the articulation locus.

SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS WITH COMPLIANT DISTAL STUD CONNECTION
20220361929 · 2022-11-17 ·

An orthopedic instrument for insertion of an orthopedic device into an intramedullary canal of a bone is disclosed. The orthopedic instrument can include an elongate post and a stud. The post can have a longitudinal axis and can extend along the longitudinal axis between a first end portion and a second end portion. The stud can be connected to the post along a portion of a longitudinal length thereof comprising a first end part, A second part of the stud can be free to elastically deflect laterally with respect to the longitudinal axis when subjected to a bending load and return to a first position when unloaded.

SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS INCLUDING A SET OF CUTTING BLADES FOR PERFORMING AN OSTEOTOMY

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 blades positioned on the first surface and the second surface. The surgical instrument can include columns of cutting blades positioned on the first surface and/or the second surface. The surgical instrument can include rows of cutting blades positioned on the first surface and/or the second surface.
