A system and method for improving upon an ability of a surgeon to repair traumatic bone injury using new materials, components, and structures. A structure may be used as an implant or a component of an external fixator for a fractured long bone with that structure having anisotropic and viscoelastic properties, such as through additive manufacturing techniques.

A system includes a base and a targeting guide coupled to the base. The base includes a first member and a second member. The first member defines a first hole for receiving a first fixation element for coupling the first member to a bone. The second member is pivotably coupled to the first member. The second member defines a second hole and a third hole. The second hole is for receiving a second fixation element for coupling the second member to a bone, and the third hole is for receiving an adjustment member for adjusting an angle between the first member and the second member. The targeting guide extends from a first end to a second end and defines a fourth hole adjacent to the second end of the targeting guide. The fourth hole is sized and configured to receive a fixation device therein.

A system includes a first tool. The first tool includes a first component, a second component, and at least one fastener for coupling the first component to the second component. The first component is coupled to the second component such that a distance between the first component and the second component in a first direction is adjustable. The first tool is configured to provide a controlled adjustment of a first bone relative to a second bone in a second direction that is different from the first direction.

A fixator apparatus has a lateral fixator distal apparatus, a lateral fixator proximal apparatus, a lateral fixator joint, a posterior joint, an Essex-lopresti apparatus, a lateral transmission housing, a posterior transmission housing, and a distraction apparatus. The fixator apparatus facilitates reduction, provides two-plan fixation, and increases stability.

A system includes a first tool having a first portion and a second portion supported by the first portion. The first portion extends from a first end to a second end, which includes a sleeve defining a first hole defining a first axis. The second portion defines a second hole having a second axis that is disposed at an angle relative to the first axis. The first and second holes are sized and configured to receive fixation elements for coupling the first tool to at least one bone. The first portion is configured to rotate about the first hole when a first fixation element is received within the first hole, and the sleeve defines a third hole that intersects a bottom surface of the sleeve. The third hole defines a third axis that is disposed at an angle relative to the first axis and the second axis.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for closed reduction of a bone fracture. The apparatus includes at least: a pulling adaptor including: a handle configured to be gripped by an operator; an insertion rod that is extended from the handle in a longitudinal direction of the handle, and configured to be inserted into the bone fracture which is depressed in at least one area thereof; and a pulling lug that is bent and extended from an end of the insertion rod such that a longitudinal direction of the pulling lug is perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the insertion rod or such that the pulling lug is inclined with respect to the insertion rod, the pulling lug being configured to be inserted into the at least one depressed area of the bone fracture, in order to pull the bone fracture.

An orthopedics restoration fixation device includes: a clamping mechanism and a shock absorbing mechanism. The clamping mechanism includes: a first base; a first clamping assembly and a second clamping assembly cooperating with each other and adjustably mounted on the first base; and an adjustment assembly mounted on the first base and configured to move the first clamping assembly and the second clamping assembly towards each other or away from each other. The shock absorbing mechanism is connected to the clamping mechanism and is configured to alleviate an external impact on the clamping mechanism.
