ARTHROSCOPIC DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS OF USE
20230115852 · 2023-04-13 ·

Arthroscopic devices adapted for minimally invasive procedures, such as bone augmentations and reconstructive surgery, are provided. The arthroscopic devices include a drill guide adapted for efficiently and accurately positioning pilot holes and surgical instrumentation relative to the bone; a surgical cable, such as an elastomeric surgical cable, adapted for applying a compressive force across the bone fragments after the surgical repair to promote healing; and a tensioner and crimping device for applying tension to the surgical cable and securing the surgical cable in place. A surgical procedure is also disclosed where a cerclage is applied arthroscopically by passing a member such as an elastomeric ribbon through the glenoid and a bone graft, where the member is tensioned and fixed into place to hold the bone graft in firm contact with the glenoid to facilitate healing.

Methods, systems and devices for pre-operatively planned shoulder surgery guides and implants. Pre-operative planning methods for designing a shoulder surgery guide based on considerations of multiple factors affecting the outcome of shoulder surgery. Methods of using surgery guides and implants in patients undergoing shoulder surgery.

TENDON REPAIR SYSTEM

A system for coupling a tendon to a bone may include a tendon coupling device engageable with a tendon, a fastener to secure the tendon coupling device to the tendon, a bone coupling device, and a flexible element. The flexible element may include a first portion and a second portion. The first portion of the flexible element may be couplable with the fastener to securably attach the flexible element to the tendon. The bone coupling device may include a bone-facing surface engageable with a surface of the bone proximate a bone tunnel formed through the bone, and a hole formed through the bone coupling device. The second portion of the flexible element may be receivable through the bone tunnel and the hole formed through the bone coupling device to engage an opposing surface of the bone coupling device and securably couple the tendon to the bone.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SOFT TISSUE AND BONE REPAIR
20230103416 · 2023-04-06 ·

A soft tissue and bone repair system and corresponding method are provided which are particularly useful for labral repairs in the human shoulder. The system comprises at least two guide cannulae capable of being introduced into an anatomical structure of a human body at different entry points for repair of a tear in soft tissue. A pulling line can be passed within the anatomical structure between the guide cannulae. A guide device may be attached to the pulling line and inserted into one of the guide cannula. The guide device is capable of delivering a drilling device into the anatomical structure. The pulling line is capable of being pulled to move an end of the guide device from a one location to another within the anatomical structure to position the drilling device on a desired drilling path to access the tear in soft tissue.

Arthroscopic tunnel guide for rotator cuff repair

A drill guide assembly for drilling a tunnel having a fixed, non-zero radius of curvature, where the drill guide assembly includes a housing and a sleeve, or cutting tube, configured to reciprocate within the distal portion where the sleeve, or cutting tube, is configured to receive a bone cutting instrument.

Patient-specific glenoid guide with a reusable guide holder
11617591 · 2023-04-04 · ·

A glenoid device for preparing a shoulder joint of a patient includes a reusable guide holder having a body between an upper surface and a lower surface and a bore passing through the body of the guide holder. The glenoid device also includes a patient-specific glenoid guide having a body with an upper and lower surface. The lower surface of the patient-specific glenoid guide is configured as a negative surface of a glenoid face based on preoperative image scans of the shoulder joint of the patient. The upper face of the patient-specific glenoid guide is configured to be coupled and contact the lower face of the guide holder, such that the bore of the guide holder is aligned along a patient-specific bore through the body of the patient-specific glenoid guide and along a corresponding alignment axis of the patient-specific glenoid guide.

OFFSET GUIDE

An offset guide that places a surgical tool through a bone of a surgical joint. The offset guide may hold the surgical joint in a reduced configuration at a first location along the bone; the first location preferred for engaging the bone. The offset guide may engage the bone with a hook that engages two opposing sides of the bone to center the surgical tool through the bone. The offset guide may guide placement of a surgical tool through the bone center at a second location along the bone, the second location offset from the first location. The second location may be a preferable location for receiving the surgical tool therethrough. The surgical tool may include both a drill and an implant insertion tool. The implant insertion tool may place an implant at the second location, while the offset guide holds the surgical joint.

HUMERAL IMPLANT ANCHOR SYSTEM

A stemless humeral shoulder assembly having a base member and an anchor advanceable into the base member. The base member can include a distal end that can be embedded in bone and a proximal end that can be disposed at a bone surface. The base member can also have a plurality of spaced apart arms projecting from the proximal end to the distal end. The anchor can project circumferentially into the arms and into a space between the arms. When the anchor is advanced into the base member, the anchor can be exposed between the arms. A recess can project distally from a proximal end of the anchor to within the base member. The recess can receive a mounting member of an anatomical or reverse joint interface.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PATIENT SPECIFIC SHOULDER ARTHROPLASTY

Devices and methods provided for joint arthroscopy contemplate and enable the provision of patient specific instruments (PSI). The devices and anatomical features of a patient are rendered adjustable by the provision of conforming surfaces and support elements to account for and enable repositioning of the anatomical features during surgery. Where the joint arthroscopy involves shoulder arthroplasty, a PSI system includes at least one shoulder PSI operable to be positioned on a bone in a shoulder in the patient. The at least one shoulder PSI allow for the transfer of preoperative planning to intra-operative procedures. The at least one shoulder PSI may be virtually designed as a model based on scan data of the bone in the shoulder of the patient. The at least one shoulder PSI may be fabricated based on the virtually-designed at least one shoulder PSI model.
