A cut guide includes a first face and an opposed second face. The cut guide further includes a first aperture and a second aperture extending through the cut guide from the first face to the second face. The first and second apertures are configured to guide a surgical tool in cutting a bone. The cut guide further includes a first hole extending through the cut guide from the first face to the second face. The cut guide further includes a second hole extending through the cut guide. A central axis of the second hole is oriented at an acute angle to the second face. The first and second holes are configured to receive a wire to position the guide against the bone.

Systems, devices, and methods for performing Lapidus bunionectomy procedures are disclosed. An example method includes inserting a plurality of metatarsal pins into the first metatarsal at a first predetermined spacing relative to the first tarsometatarsal (TMT) joint, excising the first TMT joint by cutting the bases of the first metatarsal and the first cuneiform proximate the first TMT joint, inserting a plurality of cuneiform pins into the first cuneiform at a second predetermined spacing relative to the first TMT joint, compressing the first TMT joint using a compressor block such that a cut face of the first metatarsal contacts a cut face of the first cuneiform, and fixing the first TMT joint using a bone plate and a plurality of bone screws. At least one of the plurality of bone screws may be a cross screw extending at an angle of less than 90 degrees relative to the bone plate and may anchor the resected first TMT joint to the second metatarsal or the second cuneiform to prevent recurrence of the bunion.

A technique for correcting a bone deformity, such as a bunion, may be performed using a fulcrum. In some examples, the technique involves inserting a fulcrum between a first metatarsal that is anatomically misaligned with respect to a second metatarsal. The technique further includes preparing an end of the first metatarsal and preparing an end of a medial cuneiform opposing the end of the first metatarsal. In addition, a distal portion of the first metatarsal is moved toward the second metatarsal in a transverse plane, thereby pivoting a proximal portion of the first metatarsal about the fulcrum and reducing an intermetatarsal angle between the first metatarsal and the second metatarsal.

A graft-harvesting instrument and MTP fusion device are disclosed to allow for easy and safe removal of a section of the calcaneus to be used as autograft in the fusion of the MTP joint. The graft-harvesting instrument allows a surgeon to place a barrier between the saw and the vital anatomy on the medial side of the calcaneus. The MTP fusion device allows for the exact placement of the autograft into the MTP joint. The graft-harvesting instrument allows for a very consistent piece of autograft to be harvested. The graft-retaining sleeve component of the MTP fusion device positions that autograft in place for optimum fusion of the MTP joint.

A two-piece hammertoe compression device is disclosed for the correction of a hammer toe deformity. The two-piece hammertoe compression device provides polyaxial motion between the device components allowing angulation of the joint for fusion. Further, the two-piece hammertoe compression device includes a distal component and a proximal component secured together. The distal component has an externally-threaded anchor with an embedded socket component. The proximal component includes an internally and externally-threaded anchor. Additionally, the embedded socket component has a ball insert component to allow for polyaxial movement and variable angle fixation at the joint.

Methods for the treatment of a ligament injury include the insertion of at least one suture anchor into a bone opening and anchoring the at least one suture anchor and thereafter threading two ends of a suture of at least one anchored suture anchor through the ligament and pulling the ligament to the bone with the opening and fixing the ligament to that bone by tying a knot in the suture.

A bone displacement system includes an anchoring portion, a tool engaging portion, a compression distraction mechanism, a lateral body and a distal body. The anchoring portion has an aperture for receiving a wire to connect the anchoring portion to a proximal bone. The tool engaging portion is connected to the anchoring portion and is configured to connect a tool thereto. The compression-distraction mechanism is connected to the anchoring portion. The lateral body is connected to the compression-distraction mechanism by a ratchet. The lateral body has a downwardly depending portion for contacting a lateral bone. The distal body is connected to the compression-distraction mechanism. The distal body has an aperture for receiving a wire to connect the distal body to a distal bone. The compression-distraction mechanism is configured to move the anchoring portion relative to the distal body.

An all-in-one osteotomy fixation device, along with various related components, systems, and methods. The various embodiments include a device body, a bone attachment structure, a removable slot body, and a movable cutting guide moveably attached to the body via a guide coupling structure. The various methods include using any single device embodiment herein to perform all of the steps of the osteotomy procedure.

This disclosure describes exemplary intramedullary implant systems. The intramedullary implant systems may be used for performing bone fracture, bone fusion, or osteotomy procedures within joints.
