Abstract: A system for fracture reduction includes a reduction plate for reducing a fracture between a first bone segment and a second bone segment. The reduction plate includes, on a first side of the reduction plate, a travel slot and a screw hole. The travel slot is configured to slidably engage a first positioning element that extends into the first bone segment through the travel slot and the first screw hole is configured to affix the first side of the reduction plate to the first bone segment. The reduction plate includes, on a second side of the reduction plate, an adjustment hole and a second screw hole. The adjustment hole is configured to engage a second positioning element that extends into the second bone segment through the adjustment hole and the second screw hole is configured to affix the second side of the reduction plate to the second bone segment.

Abstract: A system for contouring a locking plate includes a locking plate and at least one bender. The locking plate includes a plurality of threaded screw holes connected to one another by one or more ribs. The at least one bender includes a threaded tip configured to threadably engage one or more of the plurality of threaded screw holes and a shoulder operable to transmit mechanical force to the locking plate once the threaded tip is threadably engaged with one of the plurality of threaded screw holes.

Abstract: A system for midface distraction including a left side distraction mechanism and a right side distraction mechanism, each including: an implantable anchor configured to be coupled to a bone of the malar region, an implantable anchor configured to be coupled to a bone of the cranium, and a distraction rod coupling the anchors. The system also includes a maxillary bridge configured to couple the left side distraction mechanism with the right side distraction mechanism and wherein couplings between the maxillary bridge and the right and left distraction mechanisms are configured to be internal to a patient.

Abstract: A cranial flap fixation system and method are provided. In one embodiment, the system includes a rod having first and second ends, and an intermediate portion. The rod has a threaded portion between the first end and the intermediate portion. The system also includes an inferior disk coupled with the rod, proximate the first end of the rod, and a superior disk with an orifice through a central region of the superior disk. The orifice is sized to allow the superior disk to engage the threaded portion and movably couple the superior disk to the rod. The system further includes an installation tool having a central cavity. The installation tool is configured to engage the superior disk and the threaded portion, such that rotation of the installation tool in a first direction directs the superior disk toward the inferior disk.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a system for mandibular distraction which includes a rod and a first pin clamp assembly coupled adjacent a first end of the rod. Furthermore, the first pin clamp assembly includes a first clamp. The system further includes a second pin clamp assembly which includes an advancement mechanism that moveably couples the second pin clamp assembly to the rod and a second clamp. Furthermore, a swivel joint is disposed between the advancement mechanism and the second clamp whereby the second clamp is enabled to rotate relative to the advancement mechanism.

Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a driver may include an electric motor coupled to a bit interface. The bit interface may include a generally cylindrical body having first and second hollow portions. The first hollow portion may be on one end of the generally cylindrical body and may define a generally cylindrical hole. The second hollow portion may abut the first hollow portion and define an oblong channel. The oblong channel may be further defined by first and second parallel flat walls. The cylindrical body may also include a first transverse groove.

Abstract: A cranial flap fixation system and method are provided. The system includes an inferior disk coupled with a first end of a partially threaded connecting rod, and a superior disk having a central orifice operable to be threadably coupled with the connecting rod. The inferior and superior disks are configured such that upon installation, the inferior and superior disks cooperate with the connecting rod to apply pressure to a cranial flap and an adjacent cranial bone.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a midface distraction system which includes a cannulated distraction rod having a socket disposed adjacent a first end, and a threaded portion disposed between the socket and a second end of the rod. The midface distraction system may further include a cannulated malar pin having a flange at a first end and a second end configured to form a moveable coupling between the cannulated malar pin and the socket.
