Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy Plate with Offset
The device is a tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) plate is used to stabilize a stifle joint in an animal in veterinary surgery after a torn cranial cruciate ligament. The TPLO plate has a proximal portion and a curved distal portion, connected by an offset portion.
Targeting instruments, systems and methods of use
Instruments, implants, bone plates, systems and methods for correcting bone deformities and fractures in the lower extremity are disclosed. Specifically, targeting instruments, implants, bone plates, systems and methods used for correcting bone deformities and/or fractures in the foot are disclosed.
SHAPE MEMORY IMPLANTS AND METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR THE LOADING AND IMPLANTING THEREOF
An orthopedic fixation system includes an orthopedic implant and an implant retainer. The orthopedic implant transitions between a natural shape and an insertion shape whereby a transition of the orthopedic implant from the natural shape to the insertion shape stores deliverable energy and a transition of the orthopedic implant from the insertion shape to the natural shape delivers stored energy. The implant retainer is configured to engage the orthopedic implant and constrain the orthopedic implant in the insertion shape such that the implant grip prevents a transition of the orthopedic implant from the insertion shape to the natural shape.
Spine Access Retractor
A retractor includes a first arm, a second arm, and a translating member. The first arm comprises a proximal portion configured to retain a first retractor member and a distal portion configured to rotate relative to the proximal portion about a first axis. The second arm is configured to retain a second retractor member, such that rotation of the distal portion about the first axis causes the first retractor member to pivot toward or away from the second retractor member when the first retractor member and the second retractor member are coupled to the first arm and the second arm, respectively. The translating member is coupled between the proximal portion and the distal portion, and is configured to receive a drive force that causes the translating member to bias the distal portion to pivot relative to the proximal portion about the first axis.
Implants and related methods for bunion correction
Implants, systems and related methods for correcting bunions are disclosed. The implants, systems and methods may include a first bone engaging implant configured to couple to a first bone, and a second bone engaging implant configured to couple to a second bone that is adjacent the first bone. The implants, systems and methods may further include a flexible cable member extending between the first and second implants that allows motion between the first and second implants but for movement of the first and second implants away from each other. The length of the cable member may draw the first bone towards the second bone and decrease an angle formed between therebetween. The cable member may be rigidly or slidably coupled to the first and second implants.
BONE STABILIZATION SYSTEMS
An aiming guide system configured for connection to a bone plate including an aiming arm and a connection assembly. The aiming arm has a rigid body extending from a proximal end to a distal end with a plurality of aiming holes defined through the rigid body between the proximal end and the distal end thereof. The distal end defines an attachment slot through the body. The connection assembly is configured to engage an attachment screw hole of the bone plate and the attachment slot such that the aiming arm is fixed in position relative to the bone plate with each of the aiming holes aligned with a respective hole along the bone plate.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FACILITATING OSTEOTOMY OF THE PELVIC
A surgical implant system includes a surgical implant and at least one fixation device. The surgical implant includes a first side member, a second side member, a distal member and a proximal member. The first side member is disposed in opposed relation relative to the second side member, the first and second side members including distal and proximal ends. The distal member is disposed in opposed, spaced relation relative to the proximal member. The distal member extends across one end of the surgical implant between the first and second side member connecting distal ends of the first and second side members. The proximal member extends across a second end of the surgical implant connecting the proximal ends of the first and second side members. The fixation device is inserted in and advanced through osseous tissue and traverses the openings of the first and second side members.
Medical assistive device for quick positioning of reduction forceps
A medical assistive device for quick positioning which can be combined with surgical reduction forceps rapidly, free from angle limitation, operated more conveniently. It comprises a base, the top surface thereof can hold the patient's wrist region; a socket holder located under the bottom surface of the base, provided with a round cavity-like hole slot; multiple support columns vertically located on the bottom surface of the base, surrounding the socket holder, forming connected passages under the base; a universal joint, embedded in the hole slot of socket holder, flexibly diverted. Thereby, the lower forceps body of surgical reduction forceps can reach the lower part of socket holder at any angle under the base, so that the lower forceps body is combined with the universal joint quickly, the combination is rapid, and the lower forceps body can rotate flexibly.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INSERTING A BONE PLATE
Devices, systems, and methods for locking a drill guide into a polyaxial hole while maintaining the form and function of the polyaxial hole are provided herein. In some embodiments, the drill guide includes a hollow outer body extending from a proximal end to a distal end and having a slot disposed proximate the proximate end, wherein the distal end is configured as a reverse collet having a plurality of prongs; an inner body having a central channel extending therethrough; and a lever coupled to the inner body through the slot, wherein the slot is shaped such that rotation of the lever results in motion along a central axis of the drill guide, and wherein a distal end of the inner body is configured to prevent radially inward deflection of the plurality of prongs when the inner body is in a lowermost position.
BONE WEDGE DEVICE AND METHOD
An osteotomy implant device includes a housing defining a cavity and having a central plane extending therethrough. The housing includes a first bone engaging surface and a second bone engaging surface. The second bone engaging surface disposed on an opposing side of the central plane from the first bone engaging surface. The osteotomy implant device also includes a cutting member. The cutting member rotatable coupled to the housing. The cutting member rotatable about an axis between a first position and a second position. The cutting member entirely disposed within the cavity between the first bone engaging surface and the second bone engaging surface in the first position. A portion of the cutting member extends beyond at least the first bone engaging surface or the second bone engaging surface of the housing in the second position.
