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.

Spinal correction surgical techniques and methodologies for correction of scoliosis using non fusion anterior scoliosis correction, including soft tissue releases, unique correction techniques such as de-rotation, and unique single and dual anchor screw/cord applications.

A knee gap tensioning apparatus includes: a tensioner-balancer, including: a baseplate; a top plate; and a linkage operable to move the top plate relative to the bottom plate between retracted and extended positions in response to application of an actuating force, the linkage including: a first toggle linkage, including: a lower link having a first end pivotally connected to the baseplate; an upper link having a first end pivotally connected to the top plate, wherein second ends of the first and second links are pivotally connected to each other; a second toggle linkage, including: a lower link having a first end pivotally connected to the baseplate; an upper link having a first end pivotally connected to the top plate, wherein second ends of the first and second links are pivotally connected to each other; and a connector linkage interconnecting the first and second toggle linkages.

Devices, systems, implants and methods for achieving ligament fixation are disclosed. An implant includes a head member and an anchor member coupled to the head member. The implant includes tension member that couples the head member to the anchor member. The head member and the anchor member include a cannulation that receives the tension member therein. The implant may include a coupling member positioned between and coupling the head member and the anchor member, the coupling member including a cannulation that receives the tension member therethrough. Insertion instruments for inserting an implant for ligament fixation are also disclosed. Methods of using an implant for achieving ligament fixation are also disclosed.

In one embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a method of evaluating soft tissue tension surrounding a hip of a patient using navigation and software to track positions of the femur and a pelvis of the patient in real time. The method begins with intra-operative reduction of a femoral implant into an acetabulum of a patient and retrieval of first coordinates of a femoral head center of the femoral implant when the femoral implant is in a reduced position. Performance of a shuck test follows where the femur is distracted relative to the acetabulum. Retrieval of second coordinates of the femoral head center occurs when the femoral implant is distracted from the acetabulum, and a difference between the first coordinates and the second coordinates in a coronal plane is used to determine a shuck length vector.

A fixator of a cranial flap to a skull, the fixator comprising a rigid rod, a lower disk placed at a distal extremity of said rigid rod, an upper disk mounted so as to be mobile along said rigid rod and a grip connected to the proximal extremity of said rigid rod enabling said upper disk to be made to slide towards said lower disk, said distal extremity of said rigid rod being provided with a ball-joint element and said lower disk comprising a recess for receiving said ball-joint element; said lower disk and said upper disk have convex shapes and are made out of a material enabling them to get deformed and adapt to shapes of the skull and the cranial flap, the lower and upper disks are placed flat against and secured to the internal and external surfaces of the skull and of the cranial flap.

A delivery device delivers a compression plate to a fracture line in a bone. The delivery device includes a body that retains the compression plate in a strained condition, the body including a proximal end, a distal end, and a first beam. The delivery device also includes a cover plate attached to and moveable relative to the body, the cover plate including a second beam. A space is defined between the first beam and the second beam that receives the compression plate. The delivery device also includes a compression clip that retains the compression plate in the space.

The present invention provides a tensioning ancillary instrument (5) for tensioning an elongate element to fasten an implant on a portion of bone, by surrounding said portion of bone at least in part, said instrument (5) comprising a body (6) having proximal and distal ends (6a, 6b), the distal end (6a) being provided with a device for bearing against the implant, said body (6) extending along a longitudinal axis (L). The instrument (5) further comprising a carriage (7) that is movable along the longitudinal axis (L), and a fastener device (8) for fastening to the elongate element (2). The instrument (5) also includes a rotary shaft (9) rotatable about the longitudinal axis (L) of the body (6), the shaft (9) being configured to co-operate with the carriage (7) in such a manner that rotation of the shaft (9) drives movement of the carriage (7) in translation along the longitudinal axis (L) and correspondingly moves the carriage (7) away from the distal end (6b) of the body (6) and tensions the elongate element.

A bone displacement system includes an anchoring portion, a flexing mechanism, and a distal body. The anchoring portion has an aperture for receiving a wire to connect the anchoring portion to a proximal bone. The flexing mechanism is connected to the anchoring portion, and has a rail and a holding portion movable on the rail. The rail is curved about a center of rotation located toward a bottom of the flexing mechanism and toward the proximal bone. The distal body is connected to the holding portion. The distal body has an aperture for receiving a wire to connect the distal body to a distal bone. The flexing mechanism is configured to move the distal body relative to the anchoring portion by a movement of the holding portion on the rail and about the center of rotation to flex the first bone relative to the second bone.
