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.

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.

Wedge osteotomy device and method of use

A wedge osteotomy device including a cutting guide coupled to a base plate via a joint. The cutting guide configured to pivot relative to the base plate about a pivot axis extending through the joint. The cutting guide including a guide body including a cutting slot extending through the guide body, an arcuate slot extending through the guide body and defining a radius to the joint, and a plurality of markers on the guide body identifying a position of the cutting guide relative to the base plate. The base plate including planar top and bottom surfaces.

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.

BONE POSITIONING GUIDE

A bone positioning guide may include a main body member, a shaft, and a bone engagement member. The shaft can be movably connected to the main body member and have the bone engagement member rotatably coupled to its distal end. The bone engagement member can have a surface configured to engage a bone. The main body member can also include a tip opposite the bone engagement member for engaging a second bone. In use, the bone engagement member may be positioned in contact with a medial side of a first metatarsal while the tip is positioned in contact with a lateral side of a different metatarsal, such as a second metatarsal. The shaft can then be moved to advance the bone engagement member toward the tip, causing realignment of the first metatarsal.

OSTEOTOMY CUTTING SYSTEMS AND SURGICAL TECHNIQUES

Osteotomy cutting systems and surgical methods are provided herein. One surgical method includes coupling, to a cuneiform of a subject, a surgical apparatus for use in facilitating correction of a bunion and coupling the surgical apparatus to another bone of the subject. Another surgical method includes coupling a surgical apparatus to a cuneiform and metatarsal of a subject, coupling a cutting block for alignment at a joint between the cuneiform and the metatarsal, and performing a surgical procedure utilizing the surgical apparatus and the cutting block to correct a bunion. A further surgical method includes providing a surgical apparatus for use in facilitating correction of a bunion in a subject in which the surgical apparatus is configured to couple to a cuneiform and a metatarsal of the subject and performing a surgical procedure utilizing the surgical apparatus while the surgical apparatus is coupled to the cuneiform and the metatarsal.

Patient-specific pre-operative planning

A method for pre-operative orthopedic planning includes obtaining only a high-resolution knee-joint scan of a patient, determining hip rotation center and ankle rotation center from anthropometric data based on personal data of the patient, and determining a mechanical axis of the knee joint based on the anthropometric data. The method also includes preparing at least a two-dimensional image model of the knee joint using the knee-joint scan and the determined mechanical axis, and preparing a pre-operative surgical plan based on the image of the knee joint.

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GUIDING AN OSTEOTOMY PROCEDURE
20230058837 · 2023-02-23 ·

The present disclosure relates to a method for guiding an osteotomy procedure on at least one bone selected from a tibia and a femur pertaining to a patient's lower limb to correct a misalignment of said lower limb, wherein a tibial tracker is fixed to the tibia and a femoral tracker is fixed to the femur, comprising: receiving at least one target alignment parameter of the lower limb; determining a position of a set of characteristic points on at least one of the tibia and the femur relative to at least one of the tibial tracker and the femoral tracker; applying mechanical constraints to the lower limb to bring the lower limb in a constrained position simulating laxities and/or soft tissues influence tracking positions of said characteristic points relative to at least one of the tibial tracker and the femoral tracker based on localization data of the set of characteristic points during application of said mechanical constraints, determining at least one alignment parameter of the lower limb in said constrained position, based on the positions of the characteristic points; based on the at least one target alignment parameter and on the at least one alignment parameter of the lower limb in the constrained position, determining at least one correction parameter of the osteotomy procedure to be applied to the lower limb to achieve the target alignment parameter.
