Orthopaedic trauma devices with porous regions and therapeutic agent delivery
A device for treating orthopaedic trauma includes a device body having an exterior surface and a cannulation formed therein that extends from one longitudinal end of the device body to an opposite longitudinal end of the device body and at least one porous ingrowth material region associated with the exterior surface of the device body and fluidly coupled to the cannulation. The at least one porous ingrowth material region is configured to deliver a therapeutic agent from the cannulation to a region outside the device body.
DEVICES AND METHODS FOR POSTERIOR RESECTION IN ROBOTICALLY ASSISTED PARTIAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTIES
A method of positioning posterior resection guides in a three-dimensional coordinate system using robotic arms to perform partial knee arthroplasties comprises connecting a first tracking device for a surgical tracking system of the robotic arm to a femur, connecting a second tracking device for the surgical tracking system of the robotic arm to a tibia, manually positioning the tibia relative to the femur to a desired orientation to perform a posterior resection, manually determining a position for the posterior resection guide to perform the posterior resection, digitizing a reference point for the posterior resection guide in the three-dimensional coordinate system for a location of a feature of the posterior resection guide, moving the posterior resection guide to the location in the three-dimensional coordinate system with the robotic arm, and resecting a posterior portion of a condyle of the femur using the posterior resection guide to guide a cutting instrument.
Lateral cortex penetrator
A system for penetrating the lateral cortex of a long bone includes a tubular cortex penetrator having an inner surface and an outer surface, a proximal end, and a distal end comprising a beveled cutting edge configured to penetrate the lateral cortex. A guide wire is configured to pass over the tubular cortex penetrator, and a guide sleeve is configured to surround the outer surface of the tubular cortex penetrator. A hollow extraction screw with an axial bore, a proximal end, a distal end, and a threaded cutting edge is configured to pass through the axial bore of the hollow extraction screw; and the hollow extraction screw is configured to retract into a distal end of a bore through the tubular cortex penetrator.
Stereotactic Computer Assisted Surgery Method and System
A computer assisted surgical system that includes an apparatus for imaging a region of interest of a portion of an anatomy of a subject; a memory containing executable instructions; and a processor programmed using the instructions to receive two or more two-dimensional images of the region of interest taken at different angles from the apparatus and process the two or more two-dimensional images to produce three dimensional information associated with the region of interest.
ORTHOPEDIC BONE TAP AND METHODS INCORPORATING THE SAME
An orthopedic bone tap is provided, including a rod comprising a proximal end, a medial portion, and a distal end. The orthopedic bone tap also includes a plurality of cutting threads on the distal end of the rod. The orthopedic bone tap also includes an axial compression member engaged with at least one of the proximal end and the medial portion of the rod. The axial compression member is adapted and configured to exert compression that draws a bone fragment engaged with the plurality of cutting threads distally and against another bone fragment.
Artificial intelligence intra-operative surgical guidance system and method of use
The inventive subject matter is directed to an artificial intelligence intra-operative surgical guidance system and method of use. The artificial intelligence intra-operative surgical guidance system is made of a computer executing one or more automated artificial intelligence models trained on data layer datasets collections to calculate surgical decision risks, and provide intra-operative surgical guidance; and a display configured to provide visual guidance to a user.
Apparatus for closed reduction of bone fracture
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for closed reduction of a bone fracture. The apparatus includes at least: a pulling adaptor including: a handle configured to be gripped by an operator; an insertion rod that is extended from the handle in a longitudinal direction of the handle, and configured to be inserted into the bone fracture which is depressed in at least one area thereof; and a pulling lug that is bent and extended from an end of the insertion rod such that a longitudinal direction of the pulling lug is perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the insertion rod or such that the pulling lug is inclined with respect to the insertion rod, the pulling lug being configured to be inserted into the at least one depressed area of the bone fracture, in order to pull the bone fracture.
SURGICAL PIN GUIDE
Disclosed is a surgical pin guide. To this end, the present invention provides a surgical pin guide including a guide fixed to an outer circumferential surface of a femur and configured to allow a center pin and a central pressure reducer of a drill handpiece to approach a necrotic region of an expanded area, a guide main body including a handle provided on an upper surface of a block, a center pin-guide hole horizontally pierced at a center of a front surface of the block, and a plurality of side pin-guide holes pierced at predetermined inclination angles with respect to the center pin-guide hole, arranged radially in the front surface of the block, and configured to meet the center pin-guide hole in a rear surface of the block, and a leading body configured to allow the guide main body to be detached from the guide and approach the necrotic region of the femoral head in a rotationally folded state.
SURGICAL SYSTEM FOR OSTEOSYNTHESIS OF FEMORAL FRACTURES
A surgical system for osteosynthesis of femoral fractures, individual parts of such system, and a related surgical procedure is provided. Two different osteosynthesis methods are combined: the intramedullary hip screw for hip fractures and the retrograde femoral nail for femoral shaft fractures. The system includes a new jig for the insertion of the retrograde intramedullary nail and the femoral neck screw. The surgical system makes it possible to osteosynthesize obese patients with trochanteric hip fractures in a safer and improved controlled surgery with the aim of reducing complications to this type of surgery.
Device For Computer-Assisted Surgery Having Two Arms And Method For Operating The Same
Computer-assisted surgery device and a method for operating the same which allows a more efficient positioning and application of an implant with respect to a bony structure, and in particular a shorter operation time and less intensity of x-ray exposure for a patient. A device for computer-assisted surgery includes a reference structure, a first arm, a second arm, a position determining unit and a motion controlling unit.
