BONE REPOSITIONING GUIDE SYSTEM AND PROCEDURE
A surgical system and procedure are provided for correcting a deformity between first and second bones using an alignment guide based on a correction factor. The alignment guide is used to insert one or more k-wires into each of the first and second bones in a deformed configuration. A correction guide is passed along the k-wires to rotate and/or translate the first bone relative to the second bone into the corrected configuration. An auxiliary correction guide can be passed along the k-wires to further rotate and/or translate the first bone relative to the second bone from the corrected configuration to an adjusted configuration.
Tarsometatarsal joint arthrodesis tools and related method for bunion correction
A kit of tarsometatarsal joint arthrodesis tools include a metatarsal multi-tool, a first ray multi-tool, a cuneiform cut guide, and a joint compressor-distractor. The metatarsal multi-tool is configured for securement to a first metatarsal establishing an anatomic reference for carrying out a surgical procedure and guiding a surgeon to perform the metatarsal base cut. The first ray multi-tool is configured for securement to the first metatarsal using a fixation method. The first ray multi-tool is also configured to be secured to the medial cuneiform. The cuneiform cut guide is configured for removable attachment to the first ray multi-tool and is configured to guide the surgeon to perform the cuneiform head cut. The compressor-distractor is configured to apply a force to the first ray multi-tool such that the position of the first metatarsal may be adjusted toward or away from the medial cuneiform.
Mixed-reality surgical system with physical markers for registration of virtual models
An example method includes obtaining, a virtual model of a portion of an anatomy of a patient obtained from a virtual surgical plan for an orthopedic joint repair surgical procedure to attach a prosthetic to the anatomy; identifying, based on data obtained by one or more sensors, positions of one or more physical markers positioned relative to the anatomy of the patient; and registering, based on the identified positions, the virtual model of the portion of the anatomy with a corresponding observed portion of the anatomy.
Pedicle subtraction osteotomy guide
A virtual surgical cutting guide may have first and second slots defining first and second axes respectively. The virtual surgical cutting guide may be positioned away from a vertebral body such that the first and second axes intersect at a distal point located in an interior of the vertebral body. The virtual surgical cutting guide may include the virtual surgical cutting guide with first and second cutting instruments. A method of performing a pedicle subtraction osteotomy may include the steps of placing the virtual surgical cutting guide over the first and second cutting instruments.
Method, Surgical Apparatus, and Surgical Implant for Minimally Invasive Surgical Procedures
A minimally invasive precision cutting guide, targeting guide, implant, and other instruments comprise a system that permits a physician to surgically correct a bunion or similar deformity with a minimum disruption of surrounding soft tissue. The precision cutting guide ensures that the physician cuts bone in the proper location and orientation. Each of the instruments is designed to minimize disruption to surrounding soft tissue. The system also precisely locates an orthopedic implant such that it can fixate two bone fragments after an osteotomy, or two bones after surgery. The precision cutting guide, targeting guide, implant, and other instruments are provided in a sterile kit for the convenience of the surgeon and safety of the patient.
OBLIQUE DIAPHYSEAL OSTEOTOMY SYSTEM FOR METATARSAL SHORTENING
An oblique metatarsal shortening osteotomy system comprising a cut guide, wherein the cut guide comprises one or more pre-drilled fixation holes, wherein the cut guide can be placed on a metatarsal bone to enable an oblique shortening osteotomy of varying lengths, and wherein the pre-drilled fixation holes enable fixation of the cut guide to the metatarsal bone. The cut guide may comprise a central block. The cut guide may comprise one or more fixation flanges. The cut guide may comprise one or more slots to enable cuts to be made in a metatarsal. The cut guide may enable metatarsal compression through pre-drilling without need for alternative techniques. Angulation of the pre-drilling may allow for fixation to allow for intramedullary fixation to be placed within a medullary canal of an osteotomized metatarsal.
FOLDING SURGICAL GUIDE AND METHODS OF REPAIR
This disclosure relates to surgical devices and methods. The disclosed surgical device and method may be used to resect, cut or otherwise remove tissue during an orthopaedic procedure. The surgical device may be reconfigured to reduce a size of the surgical device during placement in the patient.
BONE POSITIONING AND PREPARING GUIDE SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Methods for temporarily fixing an orientation of a bone or bones. Methods of correcting a bunion deformity. Bone positioning devices. Methods of using a bone positioning device. Bone preparation guides. Methods of using a bone preparation guide.
Osteotomy system and method of use
Disclosed is a bone cutting and shortening system and the method of using the same, the system comprising a bone plate and a cutting guide adapted to slidingly engage by inserting the cutting guide into the bone plate from the overhead direction, the cutting guide adapted to facilitate parallel cutting planes on a bone at precisely ascertainable offset distances, and the bone plate adapted to stabilize the shortened bone after cutting.
MIS OSTEOTOMY GUIDE
A surgical guide includes a body defining a first access port and a second access port. The first access port extends on a first longitudinal access parallel with a first edge of the body and the second access port extends on a second longitudinal access positioned non-parallel with respect to each edge of the body. At least one coupling arm extends from the body. The at least one coupling arm defines at least one fixation aperture sized and configured to receive a fixation element through.
