Surgical instruments and methods for performing an osteotomy are disclosed herein. A surgical instrument includes a body with a distal end, a proximal end, a first surface, and a second surface. The surgical instrument can include cutting burrs positioned on the first surface and/or the second surface. The surgical instrument can also include cutting burrs positioned on the first surface and cutting blades positioned on the second surface.

Embodiments herein are generally directed to vertebral implants and implant trials for use with vertebral implant assemblies. In some embodiments, these implants and implant trials may be used in conjunction with corpectomy procedures.

A method for performing an open wedge osteotomy includes providing a fixation plate defining a first aperture and a second aperture and creating a first hole and a second hole in a bone. The fixation plate is coupled to the bone by aligning the first aperture of the fixation plate and the first hole of the bone and inserting a fastener through the first aperture and into the first hole. A cut is created through at least a portion of the bone to create a first resected surface and a second resected surface after creating the first hole and the second hole. The method further includes moving the first resected surface and the second resected surface relative to each other until the second aperture of the fixation plate is aligned with the second hole of the bone. The fixation plate is coupled to the bone by inserting a second fastener through the second aperture of the fixation plate and into the second hole of the bone.

According to some embodiments, systems and methods are provided for non-invasively detecting the force generated by a non-invasively adjustable implantable medical device and/or a change in dimension of a non-invasively adjustable implantable medical device. Some of the systems include a non-invasively adjustable implant, which includes a driven magnet, and an external adjustment device, which includes one or more driving magnets and one or more Hall effect sensors. The Hall effect sensors of the external adjustment device are configured to detect changes in the magnetic field between the driven magnet of the non-invasively adjustable implant and the driving magnet(s) of the external adjustment device. Changes in the magnetic fields may be used to calculate the force generated by and/or a change in dimension of the non-invasively adjustable implantable medical device.

The present invention includes devices, systems and methods for the storage, retrieval and placement of plates having wedges. A wedge plate tray includes an upper portion and at least one recessed portion, the recessed portion including a cavity sized to house the wedge and an additional cavity sized to accommodate placement and movement of an arm of an insertion instrument. The insertion instrument includes two arms connected at a hinge, a tip of each arm including a mating connector sized to engage a complementary mating connector on the wedge. In one embodiment of the method, the insertion instrument can be used to place the wedge plate in an osteotomy and where the wedge is a mobile wedge, a plate component can be adjusted to a desired position for securement while using the insertion instrument to hold the wedge in place in the osteotomy.

The disclosure provides a fixation device for internal fixation of an osteotomy below the tibial tuberosity. The fixation plate including a top-end portion including three pinholes, three screw holes, and a first Combi hole; a bottom-end portion including a second Combi hole, two screw holes, and one pinhole; and a connection portion connecting the top-end portion to the bottom-end portion. The top-end portion is capable of fixating the portion of the tibia above a cut of the osteotomy, and the bottom-end portion is capable of fixating the portion of the tibia below the cut.

A fixation plate for securing an opening formed in a bone is provided. The fixation plate includes: a body securable to the bone, the body having a bone interface side and an outward facing side; and a wedge element extending from the bone interface side of the body for inserting into the opening formed in the bone. The wedge element is shaped to conform to contours of the opening formed in the bone. In some embodiments, the wedge element is provided with an evolutive canal. A corresponding method for designing a patient-specific fixation plate is also provided.

The present invention relates to a guide module having oblique installation pins, the guide module including: a first installation pin unit penetratively inserted into one side of an aligned bone; a second installation pin unit penetratively inserted into the other side of the aligned bone; a reposition guide unit simultaneously penetrated by the first installation pin unit and the second installation pin unit and being simultaneously in contact with one side of the aligned bone and the other side of the aligned bone; and a compression guide unit disposed adjacent to the reposition guide unit and simultaneously penetrated by the first installation pin unit and the second installation pin unit, in which imaginary central axes of holes of the reposition guide unit penetrated by the first installation pin unit and the second installation pin unit are spaced apart, at a predetermined interval in a vertical direction, from imaginary central axes of holes of the compression guide unit. Therefore, the aligned bone may be compressed.

A method of changing a bone angle includes creating an osteotomy between a first portion and a second portion of a tibia of a patient; creating a cavity in the tibia by removing bone material along an axis extending in a substantially longitudinal direction from a first point at the tibial plateau to a second point; placing a non-invasively adjustable implant into the cavity, the non-invasively adjustable implant comprising an adjustable actuator having an outer housing and an inner shaft, telescopically disposed in the outer housing, and a driving element configured to be remotely operable to telescopically displace the inner shaft in relation to the outer housing; coupling one of the outer housing or the inner shaft to the first portion of the tibia; coupling the other of the outer housing or the inner shaft to the second portion of the tibia; and remotely operating the driving element to telescopically displace the inner shaft in relation to the outer housing, thus changing an angle between the first portion and second portion of the tibia.

Bone deformity correction devices and methods of using such devices to correct bone deformities. The device can include an elongate body, an adjustable manipulation arm movably coupled to the elongate body, wherein the adjustable manipulation arm is configured to move axially and laterally, and a cutting guide removably attachable to the device elongate body.
