Abstract: A passive end effector of a surgical system includes a base connected to a rotational disk, and a saw attachment connected to the rotational disk. The base is attached to an end effector coupler of a robot arm positioned by a surgical robot, and includes a base arm extending away from the end effector coupler. The rotational disk is rotatably connected to the base arm and rotates about a first location on the rotational disk relative to the base arm. The saw attachment is rotatably connected to the rotational disk and rotates about a second location on the rotational disk. The first location on the rotational disk is spaced apart from the second location on the rotational disk. The saw attachment is configured to connect to a surgical saw including a saw blade configured to oscillate for cutting. The saw attachment rotates about the rotational disk and the rotational disk rotates about the base arm to constrain cutting of the saw blade to a range of movement along arcuate paths within a cutting plane.

Abstract: A variable length headless compression screw insertion system includes a compression screw and a driver assembly for driving the compression screw into a bone. The compression screw has a bone screw and a compression sleeve coupled to the bone screw. The bone screw includes a proximal end having an external threading threadably received in the compression sleeve, and the compression sleeve includes a proximal end having a predefined drive feature and an external threading. The driver assembly includes a sleeve coupler adapted to threadably receive the external threading of the compression sleeve. A ram driver is coupled to the sleeve coupler and has a predetermined length such that its distal end is shaped to contact the proximal end of the bone screw to prevent translation of the bone screw relative to the compression sleeve.

Abstract: Described herein are retrograde femoral nails and insertion systems suitable for stabilizing femoral fractures of the shaft and femur. After reaming the femoral canal, the intramedullary nail may be inserted with a retrograde approach through the knee. The nail includes four-start threaded holes in the distal region. The nail also includes oblique distal holes with a trajectory that targets the bone in the posterior condyles. The insertion instrumentation assembly and system includes an insertion handle with a retaining thread that prevents the connection bolt from falling out. An assembly shaft is also included, which assists the user in connecting the nail to the insertion handle. The system further includes an aiming guide with a retention mechanism that holds driver sleeves in place. The aiming guide also contains a hole to position a locking washer holder to interface with the nail.
