BONE DISPLACEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD
A bone displacement system includes a body having a first arm and a second arm. The first arm is coupled to a first bone contacting leg configured to be connected to a first bone portion. The second arm is coupled to a second bone contacting leg configured to be connected to a second bone portion. A force application fixture is coupled to the first arm and the first bone contacting leg and configured to apply a force between the first arm and the first bone contacting leg.
MINIMALLY INVASIVE SYSTEMS FOR AND METHODS OF PREPARING AND FUSING A SACROILIAC JOINT DURING INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES
A system for performing a minimally invasive interventional fusion procedure on a sacroiliac joint of a patient. The system may include a disposable sterile packed implant and kit including access, bone cutting, accessory and extraction instruments.
RADIAL HEAD FRACTURE TREATMENT SYSTEM
A system and methods are provided for treating radial head fractures. The system includes an implant, a sterile instrument kit for radial head arthroplasty, and a head sizer and assembly tray for sizing and assembling implants. The implant includes a head that is coupled with a stem. The head is adapted to be placed into sliding contact with a capitellum of the radiocapitellar joint. The stem is configured to be inserted into a hole reamed into a medullary canal of the radial head. The sterile instrument kit comprises a multiplicity of instruments including any one or more of trial heads and trial stems, a starter awl, a reamer, a planar, an inserter cap, and an impactor. The instruments are configured for implanting the implant into the radiocapitellar joint such that the implant restores biomechanical properties of the joint.
SACRO-ILIAC JOINT STABILIZING IMPLANTS AND METHODS OF IMPLANTATION
Methods of implanting SI joint stabilization implants across a SI joint from a dorsal approach. The methods may include advancing an elongate implant positioning guide in a dorsal trajectory into an ilium of a subject, directly engaging a guide interface member of a SI joint stabilization implant with the positioning guide to restrict movement of the implant with respect to the positioning guide in at least one direction, and advancing the implant across the SI joint while guiding the implant with the positioning guide.
REAMING ASSEMBLIES FOR PREPARATION OF SURGICAL SITES
This disclosure relates to reaming assemblies and methods for repairing bone defects. The reaming assemblies disclosed herein may be utilized for removing bone prior to positioning a graft and/or implant at a surgical site.
ULTRASONIC BONE SCALPEL BIT AND ROBOT-ASSISTED ULTRASONIC BONE POWER SYSTEM USING SAME
The present disclosure relates to an ultrasonic bone scalpel bit and a robot-assisted ultrasonic bone power system using the ultrasonic bone scalpel bit. The ultrasonic bone scalpel bit includes a scalpel bit end portion located at a distal end of the scalpel bit, the scalpel bit end portion being formed to have a flat shape and provided with a cutting portion, wherein the cutting portion includes a distal end portion, a first side portion and a second side portion, the first side portion and the second side portion being symmetrically arranged relative to a longitudinal axis of the scalpel bit end portion in a width direction of the scalpel bit end portion; the cutting portion further includes a plurality of protrusions formed near the distal end portion, the plurality of protrusions projecting outward from the first side portion and the second side portion symmetrically relative to the longitudinal axis in the width direction of the scalpel bit end portion; and a recess which is recessed toward a proximal end of the scalpel bit end portion is formed on the distal end portion.
Semicylindrical osteotomy device
Provided is a semi-cylindrical osteotomy device including: a guide portion where a tibia accommodating space in which a tibia is accommodated is formed; a cutter portion moving in the tibia accommodating space and cutting the tibia while moving along an inner circumferential surface of the guide portion; and a driving unit driving the cutter portion. According to the semi-cylindrical osteotomy device, stability of a surgery is increased by inserting the guide portion by approaching a side surface of the tibia to minimize an exposed portion of a bone. Also, a wire saw moves along a slit of the guide portion, and thus a cut bone surface of a semi-cylindrical shape is easily and quickly formed.
TIBIAL PLATEAU LEVELING OSTEOTOMY SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Systems and methods for tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) are disclosed. According to some embodiments, an osteotomy method may include cutting a tibia with an arcuate cut to separate a tibial plateau of the tibia from a tibial base of the tibia, rotating the tibial plateau relative to the tibial base from a first orientation to a second orientation, and, with the tibial plateau in the second orientation relative to the tibial base, securing an implant to the tibia to secure the tibial plateau to the tibial base. Securing the implant to the tibia may include embedding a first leg of the implant into the tibial base, and embedding a second leg of the implant into the tibial plateau such that the first and second legs apply compression urging the tibial plateau toward the tibial base.
Snap-fit cutting guides and plating systems
Disclosed herein are arthroplasty jigs each having a living hinge that allows the jigs to be snap-fitted on and off bone. The jigs each have a flexible portion and base portion. The flexible portion is adapted to move toward and away from the base portion as the guides are snap-fitted on and off bone. The jigs may include cutting slots for receipt of cutting instrument to resect the bone and/or guide holes to aid in securing the jig to the bone. The living hinge of the jigs is defined by one or more recesses in the body of the jigs.
Press system for setting a surgical device
Disclosed herein is a surgical press for setting a surgical device into bone. The surgical press system includes an elongated shaft having a distal portion and a proximal portion. The shaft is configured for insertion into a guide. The surgical press system includes threads extending along an axial portion of the distal end of the shaft. The threads are configured to pull the shaft into bone as the shaft rotates. The surgical press system includes a press element associated with a proximal portion of the shaft such that as the shaft is rotated, the threads pull the shaft into the bone causing the press element to press the surgical device into the bone. The surgical press system includes a collection region located in the distal portion of the shaft and configured to receive bone material removed from the bone due to advancement of the shaft. The surgical press system includes a locating element configured to position the surgical device in a predetermined orientation with respect to the shaft as the press element presses the surgical device into the bone.
