SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ELECTRICAL STIMULATION ENHANCED SURGICAL IMPLANT
A system and method for an electrically enhanced surgical implant comprising: an implant body that includes an inner frame, wherein the inner frame includes a set electrode sites, and an over-coating that is formed over the inner frame, leaving the electrode sites exposed on the surface of the implant body; a circuitry casing, electrically and mechanically connected to the implant body, implant circuitry, situated at least partially within the implant casing, comprising receiver circuitry, effective to convert an electromagnetic field to electric current, control circuitry, and a power source; a set of conductive paths, wherein each conductive path has a first portion, electrode, situated on an electrode site, and a second portion, electrical conduit, that extends on and through the inner frame and electrically connects the electrode to the implant circuitry in the circuitry casing. The system functions as an electrically enabled surgical implant, such that the surgical implant can provide precisely determined and localized electrical stimulus as part of the implant operation.

Orthopedic joint distraction device
An orthopedic distraction device is provided. The orthopedic distraction device includes a first upper paddle for engaging a first bone of a joint, a lower paddle for engaging a second bone of the joint and a displacement mechanism. The displacement mechanism includes a drive assembly operable to move the upper paddle relative to the lower paddle. The lower paddle is releasably connected to the displacement mechanism.
SURGICAL DEPTH INSTRUMENT
A device configured to provide a faster and more accurate measurement of depths of holes for placement of bone screws and fastener for bone implant fixation procedures. The device includes a combination of a bone probe for physical examination of a hole drilled in a bone and a depth gauge member for determining a depth of the hole and providing digital measurement of the depth.
