Kits and systems are disclosed that include one or more segments of elastically deformable membrane in combination with one or more external fixation members and optionally in combination with one or more tension protector pads. Also disclosed are methods of use of the kits and systems in methods that involve stretching the elastically deformable membrane and applying the stretched membrane to the skin of a patient, and releasing the tension on the membrane, thus causing compression of the skin to which the membrane is applied. The method may further include the optional steps of inserting one or more external fixation members through the membrane/skin combination and into a bone segment, applying a distraction force to the one or more external fixation members, and separating at least a portion of the membrane so as to release a portion of the tension in the skin at a rate that is similar to a rate at which the distraction force is applied.

A spatial series-parallel pelvic fracture reduction robot includes a base support, a mobile platform module, an arc-shaped guide rail platform module, a robot module, and a pelvic external fixator which are connected in sequence. The mobile platform module is fixedly connected on an upper part of the base support and is used for driving the arc-shaped guide rail platform module to linearly translate up and down and left and right; a connecting sliding block of the arc-shaped guide rail platform module is connected to the robot module and used for enabling the robot module to move along an arc-shaped guide rail; the robot module includes a robot and a clamping mechanism, the robot is used for adjusting a spatial pose of the clamping mechanism, and the clamping mechanism is used for fixing bone needles; the pelvic external fixator is used for firmly fixing the pelvis.

A multifunctional traction and bone fixation device relates to the technical field of medical devices. Two traction clamping plates serve as a base. The front of each of the two traction clamping plates defines a traction nail. The middle portion of the clamping plate is arranged with a positioning and pressurizing screw. The rear end of the clamp plate is arranged with a traction handle screw. The clamping plate is arranged with a plurality of auxiliary fixation pin holders and auxiliary fixation pins. Heads of two traction nails are injected in opposite directions into a lower portion of a fracture site to determine a fixation position. Rear ends of the two traction clamping plates extend along the thigh direction to be weighted-pulled.

The present invention includes a system, kit and apparatus to aid in the realignment of one or more bones of a patient. The present invention provides a substantially rigid orthopedic stabilization scaffold for attachment of one or more external fixators for the realignment of one or more bones of a patient. The orthopedic stabilization scaffold includes a first anchorable frame and a second anchorable frame that are connectable at a point and removably attachable to an operating table.

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.

An external load bearing distracting device, which can be positioned to fully unload a knee joint cartilage while providing the knee joint normal motion, for an articulating anatomical joint. The device includes first and second rotatable extensions arranged longitudinally on opposite sides of the joint, and first and second translational inserts slidably arranged inside the first and second rotatable extensions, respectively. The joint may comprise a ball-and-ring-joint or a cardan joint. The first and second translational inserts include a threaded portion and a pair of threaded nuts thereon, which abut a retainer on each of the first and second rotatable extensions to limit longitudinal translation. The external load-bearing distracting device is temporarily attached to the patient, preferably for a period of 6 to 8 weeks, and is intended for use to treat osteoarthritis, focal cartilage defects, and fractures inside the knee joint, among other conditions of articulating anatomical joints.
