  • Publication number: 20240138857
    Abstract: A bone displacement system includes an anchoring portion, a tool engaging portion, a compression distraction mechanism, a lateral body and a distal body. The anchoring portion has an aperture for receiving a wire to connect the anchoring portion to a proximal bone. The anchoring portion is connectable to a downwardly depending member for holding a tissue portion. The tool engaging portion is connected to the anchoring portion and is configured to connect a tool thereto. The compression-distraction mechanism is connected to the anchoring portion. The lateral body is connected to the compression-distraction mechanism and engageable with a lateral bone. The distal body is connected to the compression-distraction mechanism. The distal body has an aperture for receiving a wire to connect the distal body to a distal bone. The compression-distraction mechanism is configured to move the anchoring portion relative to the distal body.

  • Patent number: 11925397
    Abstract: A system for fixating a bone includes a buckle having a plurality of lock bars and a hook. A cord may connect the hook with an opposite end of the buckle and around a bone. The buckle may include lock bars on the opposite end of the buckle to receive the cord and allow a frictional resistance to a loosening of the cord around the bone to facilitate a reduction of a fracture of the bone.

  • Publication number: 20240057990
    Abstract: A suture anchoring system includes a suture anchor and an anchor insertion device. The suture anchor has an elongated anchor body having proximal and distal ends and a long axis, with an elongated axial drive opening extending along the long axis. A plurality of axial drive grooves has a long axis parallel to the long axis of the elongated anchor body, a radially inward and axially extending groove opening communicating with the axial drive opening, a contact surface radially outward from the groove opening, and side surfaces connecting the contact surface and the groove opening. The radially outward contact surface has a greater width than that of the groove opening. Threads are provided on the outside surface of the anchor body. The drive shaft has radially outwardly extending axial drive projections configured to mate with the axial drive grooves.

  • Patent number: 11000327
    Abstract: An orthopedic instrument assembly for placing an implant into a medial cuneiform of a foot, the assembly includes a targeting guide having a body with an elongated linear base. A threaded rack is disposed along the elongated linear base. A compression-distraction frame pre-compresses the joint prior to placement of a joint fixation element. The compression-distraction frame is translatably connected to the rack of the guide body base. The compression-distraction frame is releasably, statically connectable to a first metatarsal bone and a post. The post has a generally cylindrical shape and a longitudinal axis, and has a plurality of threaded cylindrical bores disposed therethrough at predefined angles relative to the longitudinal axis. The post is releasably, statically connectable to the targeting guide.
