Surgical instruments, such as distractors and methods of manufacture are provided for maintaining a displacement of bone determined to be necessary by a surgeon. For instance, a surgical distractor may include a first holder section, a second holder section, a first displacement element, a second displacement element, a positioning element, and a rotatable component having an opening. The second holder section may be coupled to the first holder section using one or more coupling elements coupled to both the first holder section and the second holder section. The first displacement element and the positioning element may be positioned on the first holder section and the second displacement element and the rotatable opening may be positioned on the second holder section configured to engage the first displacement element.

A surgical guide includes a body including a beveled distal surface configured to being placed against a side of a foot and a proximal surface. The body includes at least one channel that extends between the beveled distal surface and the proximal surface of the body. At least one K-wire is receivable in the at least one channel and is configured to being received in a metatarsal and a capital fragment of the foot. The guide includes a handle, and a preset angle is defined between a longitudinal axis of the body and the beveled distal surface of the body. The preset angle is between approximately 25° and approximately 30°.

A registration fixture or plate is configured for use with a medical imaging system. The registration fixture may be an optical magnetic registration plate including a plurality of fiducial markers in arranged in a predefined unique pattern. The pattern can be unambiguously detected on 2D image of the plate produced by the medical imaging system. Association of the 2D imaged pattern of fiducial markers with the actual 3D pattern on the optical magnetic registration plate allows for accurate calculation of projection matrices and co-registration of the 3D and 2D coordinate systems.

A surgical retractor includes a body portion and first and second retractor arms operatively coupled thereto. The body portion includes a rotatable knob, a first blade holder, and a first blade. The first blade is configured for axial displacement with the first blade holder and angulation relative to the first blade holder about a first axis. The first and second retractor arms include respective second and third blades detachably secured thereto. The first and second retractor arms are transitionable between an approximated configuration and a spaced apart configuration. The second and third blades are configured to angulate about respective second and third axes that are defined by the respective first and second retractor arms.

A head stabilization device or HFD includes a plurality of integrated markers. The HFD may be in the form of a skull clamp, vacuum bag, combinations thereof, or other supporting structure. The integrated markers include MRI markers detectable by an MRI scanner and fiducial markers detectable by a registration tool of a navigation system. The markers provide a reference point relative to an operation site in a patient for use in a navigation guided procedure and aid in registering or calibrating the location of the patient with captured images used in the navigation guided procedure.

A surgical alignment system is provided that includes a guide arm, a ratchet arm frame configured to be coupled slidably to the guide arm, a ratchet arm configured to be coupled to the ratchet arm frame, and a sagittal sizing guide body configured to be coupled to the ratchet arm. The sagittal sizing guide body includes a first radiopaque object disposed at a first position and a second radiopaque object disposed at a second position that is spaced apart from the first position.

A surgical retractor is disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a surgical retractor includes a body extending from a proximal end to a distal end and having a first portion coupled to a second portion via a hinged connection, wherein the first and second portions are configured to rotate about a body axis; a first radiolucent tip coupled to a distal portion of the first portion; a second radiolucent tip coupled to a distal portion of the second portion; a holder coupled to one of the first or second portions; and a deformable member extending through the holder, wherein the deformable member is configured to be deformed to facilitate fixation of the surgical retractor at a desired location.

A surgical retractor includes a part defining a longitudinal axis. A first radiolucent blade is connected with the part. A second radiolucent blade is connected with the part. The blades are independently translatable relative to the part. At least one of the blades includes spaced apart arms that are connected via a member. The member and the arms are relatively disposed in a configuration to guide at least one surgical instrument in a selected orientation relative to a surgical site. Surgical systems, instruments, constructs, implants and methods are disclosed.

A surgical apparatus includes an instrument portal including a first proximal end, a first distal end, and a first elongated member, the first elongated member defining a first bore having a first dimension, wherein the first bore extends from the first distal end to the first proximal end, wherein the maximum clearance of the instrument portal is the first dimension and a drill guide reducer configured to be inserted into the instrument portal, the drill guide reducer including an elongated cylindrical member defining an enclosed body surrounding an opening, the enclosed body having an outside dimension that is smaller than the first dimension, such that the drill guide reducer is sized to fit within the instrument portal and defining an inner dimension configured to receive a drill guide, wherein the inner dimension of the drill guide reducer is smaller than the first dimension of the instrument portal.

An introducer guide includes a guiding assembly to guide insertion an instrument, such as a biopsy needle, through a selected insertion point on a patient's body and along a selected insertion path. An imaging system, such as a CT scanner, is used to visualize portions of the guiding assembly in relation to the patient's tissues as the insertion path is adjusted. The guiding assembly includes a semicircular arch connected with a base plate by sliding hinges with a center of curvature of the arch centered on the insertion point. A guide body is slidably connected with the arch. Rotation of the arch about the hinges adjusts a first angle of the insertion path. Motion of the guide body along the arch adjusts a second angle of the insertion path. Linkages, such as linear actuation cables, rotary cables, or pneumatic or hydraulic actuators, connect the arch and guide body with remote operators. A practitioner aligns the guide assembly with the insertion point and fixes the base to the patient's skin. The practitioner uses the remote operators to adjust the orientation of the insertion path while visualizing the insertion path using the imaging system. The length of the cables is selected to allow the practitioner to adjust the guiding assembly at a safe distance from ionizing radiation emitted by the imaging system.
