A saw blade for use in an orthopedic procedure may have multiple regions of different thickness across the length of the saw blade. The saw blade may include at least one region that is comparatively thicker. The saw blade may also include at least one region that is comparatively thinner and position closer to an end of the saw blade having cutting teeth. In some configurations, the thicker region of the saw blade is an intermediate region located between two comparatively thinner regions. The intermediate thicker region can interface with a slot of a cutting guide while the comparatively thinner regions can be sides for engaging with a driver and controlling the kerf width of a bone cut made using the saw blade, respectively.

A surgical assembly, a stabilisation plate and methods are disclosed. The surgical assembly comprises: a jig (100) comprising a body having a tissue-engaging surface shaped to be received by tissue to be re-orientated by a correction factor, said body defining a plurality of alignment apertures, said plurality of alignment apertures being orientated to be parallel with respect to each other on application of said correction factor. In this way, it is possible to determine from the jig itself when the desired correction factor, rotation or displacement has been applied correctly because the alignment apertures become parallel, thereby avoiding the need for additional operative measurement and/or imaging.

Methods for temporarily fixing an orientation of a bone or bones. Methods of correcting a bunion deformity. Bone positioning devices. Methods of using a bone positioning device. Bone preparation guides. Methods of using a bone preparation guide.

A bone positioning guide may be used as part of a bunion correction procedure. The bone positioning guide can include a bone engagement member configured to be positioned on a medial side of a first metatarsal of a foot and a tip separated from the bone engagement member by a distance effective to position the tip on a lateral side of a second metatarsal and in an intermetatarsal space between the second metatarsal and a third metatarsal. The bone positioning guide can also include a mechanism operable to reduce the distance between the bone engagement member and the tip, thereby causing the first metatarsal to move in at least a transverse plane to reduce an intermetatarsal angle between the first metatarsal and the second metatarsal.

A cutting guide for periacetabular osteotomy comprises at least a first main body having a longitudinal opening for the insertion of a cutting instrument, extending from a first end to a second end of the first main body and at least two positioning and fixing arms extending away from the first main body from opposite sides with respect to the longitudinal opening, in order to correctly position the first main body on a bone and fix it thereto through respective fastening members.

The cephalomedullary nailing system of this invention contributes to solving three main problems: reduce fractures, improve assembly biomechanics to ensure the load axis is favorable as possible for bony fragments and prevent femoral neck collapse as well as offset and limb length loss, hence avoiding the possibility of reduced abductor power. The system is based on specific screw channel geometry and the placement of an additional locking screw, allowing the nail to turn 360° and facilitating nail insertion through the screw.

A compressor-distractor device may be used during a surgical procedure, such as a surgical procedure to correct a bunion deformity. In some examples, the compressor-distractor includes first and second engagement arms having first and second pin-receiving holes, respectively. The first and second pin-receiving holes may be angled relative to each other. The compressor-distractor may also include an actuator operatively coupled to the first and second engagement arms. In some example uses, a clinician may pin a first surgical device to a patient's bones use a pair of parallel pins. After removing the surgical device over the parallel pins, the clinician may thread the parallel pins through the angled first and second pin-receiving holes of the compressor-distractor, causing the bones to move relative to each other. Thereafter, the clinician may actuate the actuator on the compressor-distractor to move the bones towards and/or away from each other.

A bone cut guide includes a stem having a stem longitudinal axis and an anchoring portion proximal to the stem and connected to the stem by a cut body. The anchoring portion includes an anchoring opening configured to receive a wire therethrough to connect the anchoring portion to a bone. The cut body includes a cut slot configured to receive a saw to cut the bone.

Systems and methods for performing an osteotomy with robotic assistance are disclosed. The disclosed systems and methods includes receiving a three-dimensional model of a patient bone, receiving a surgical plan, determining, based on the three-dimensional model and the surgical plan, one or more corrective cuts to be made to the patient bone, and performing, using a tracked end effector interfaced to a robotic arm, the one or more corrective cuts. A surgeon may utilize software, tracking, robotics, and the like to plan and execute bone resection in complex and/or intricate shapes not previously possible.

The present disclosure relates to a tibial osteotomy system. The system includes a base plate configured to interface with the tibia which includes a body with a first pair of apertures configured to receive a first pair of stabilization elements, a first end with a first aperture, and a second end with a second aperture. The system also includes a measuring arm coupled with the first end of the base plate via the first aperture and having a third aperture aligned with the first aperture to receive a first screw, and a cut guide pivotably coupled with the second end of the base plate via the second aperture and having a fourth aperture aligned with the second aperture to receive a second screw therein. The cut guide also has a slot, a measurement flag releasably couplable within the slot, and a protrusion configured to receive a second stabilization element.
