Abstract: Compression/reduction drivers are provided for performing surgical methods. Exemplary surgical methods that may be performed using the compression/reduction drivers described herein include, but are not limited to, arthrodesis procedures (i.e., bone fusion procedures), fracture fixation procedures, etc. The compression/reduction drivers are configured to simultaneously and independently apply a force against a bone segment and drive a fixation device into the bone segment.

Abstract: A handheld rotary medical device configured to harvest material from a patient and create particulates of the material within an inner drive shaft is disclosed. As such, material collected at a distal end of an outer shaft is processed via an inner drive shaft working member before the material is evacuated out of the outer shaft.

Abstract: Medical instruments and methods that can be used in conjunction with surgical procedures that involve inserting one or more anchors into a joint. In an example, the disclosed instrument can be used in conjunction with surgical procedures in which the one or more anchors are to be inserted at an offset from a reference location in the joint. The disclosed instrument allows for inserting the anchor at a precise location from the reference location in the joint.

Abstract: Surgical constructs, assemblies and methods for surgical repairs are disclosed. A soft suture anchor with a fixed suture limb or limbs is secured within tissue. The suture limb may be passed through soft tissue and within the tissue at various locations and in a sequential manner to form a stitching pattern over the soft tissue. The suture limb may be fixated laterally within the tissue with an independent fixation device.

Abstract: Surgical constructs methods of tissue fixation are disclosed. A textured structure on a bone surface provides increased friction and increased surface area for soft tissue coming down on it.

Abstract: Tensionable, knotless, self-locking surgical constructs and methods for surgical repairs are disclosed. A surgical construct may be in the form of a soft suture anchor with a braid that may have tapered areas on one or both sides of the braid. The surgical construct may include one or more shuttle/pull devices to aid in formation of splices and tensionable, knotless loops.

Abstract: Surgical constructs and methods for surgical repairs are disclosed. A surgical construct is in the form of a soft suture anchor with a single flexible limb. The single suture limb may be passed through soft tissue and remains outside the bone for tensioning and/or alternative usage.

Abstract: Adjustable tissue repair systems and methods are provided for reducing and fixating tissue to bone. The proposed systems and methods utilize two or more suture anchors and one or more adjustable suture loops for reducing and fixating the tissue to the bone. The suture anchors may be positioned as part of a multi-row fixation technique for providing a desired area of footprint compression over top of the tissue.

Abstract: A limb cradle for use in a surgical procedure includes a first section including a mounting bracket configured to engage a support structure and a second section configured to extend and retract relative to the first section and the mounting bracket. The first section and the second section form a support surface. The support surface is extended and retracted relative to the mounting bracket in response to the extension and retraction of the second section.

Abstract: Imagery of patient anatomy may be captured with an imaging device. The imaging device may be configured to capture only a portion of the patient anatomy, including one or more bones of the patient. A surgical planning system may be configured to predict or otherwise determine a geometry of the omitted portions of the anatomy based on a comparison of the captured anatomy to the anatomy of another patient. The determined geometry of the omitted portions may be utilized to plan a surgical procedure for restoring functionality to the bone and/or an associated joint. Surgical planning methods for determining omitted portions of patient anatomy are also disclosed.

Abstract: Bone fractures may be associated with one or more fragments separated from a bone. The fractured bone may be captured with an imaging device. The disclosed systems may be configured to predict or otherwise determine a position of the fragments prior to occurrence of the bone fracture. The determined position may be utilized to position and secure the fragments during a surgical procedure. Methods for determining the pre-fracture position of bone fragments are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a device for use in a Lapidus fusion procedure and methods of use.

Abstract: Surgical constructs, assemblies and methods for surgical repairs are disclosed. A swivel anchor is employed with a driver provided with a driver-eyelet attachment mechanism that allows a suture eyelet to engage a mating driver shaft. The attachment mechanism includes one or more flexible prongs on the driver tip that are configured to mate with one or more apertures on the eyelet. The prongs are configured to flex in and out of the eyelet apertures. The swivel anchor may be locked and secured within tissue by inserting a cannulated fixation device to abut and contact the eyelet.

Abstract: Surgical constructs and methods for surgical repairs are disclosed. A surgical construct is in the form of a soft suture anchor with flexible coupler terminating in two opposing ends. One of the two ends forms at least one splice and anchoring loops formed with the other end.

Abstract: The surgical instrument includes a proximal end and a distal end. The distal end is opposite the proximate end and is defined by a tube. The tube defines at least a first member and a second member. The first member and the second member are movable between a first state and a second state, and in the second state, the first member is spaced apart from the second member.

Abstract: Methods for tissue repairs with mattress stitch are disclosed. A mattress stitch is created with a suture passer and a suturing construct using only one portal and without shuttling steps. The suture passer is provided with two sharp teeth or tines that pierce tissue (or tissue and associated graft) at two different locations. The suturing construct can be a loop terminating in a tail. The tail is passed from one tooth to another and then secured into a securing mechanism of one of the two sharp teeth. The tail is passed through the loop to form a cinch loop around and through the tissue (or the tissue and the graft).

Abstract: Methods for tissue repairs with mattress stitch are disclosed. A mattress stitch is created with a suturing construct that includes one or more soft-body anchors and a flexible strand attached to the soft-body anchors. A free, tensionable end of the flexible strand is removably attached to a suture passer and passed through the tissue. The free end is then passed through the soft-body anchors to form a knotless, continuous, uninterrupted, flexible, adjustable, self-locking, tensionable loop around and through the tissue.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products of constructing a transform that registers a two-dimensional (2D) image and a three-dimensional (3D) device depicted in the image. The methods include determining a best pitch, spin and x-y-z positions of a 3D mathematical device model as compared to the device depicted in a first obtained 2D image, determining a best x-y-z position of a focal point as compared to the device depicted in the first image, and, based thereon, constructing a transform that registers the first image and the device.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a surgical device configured to both strip and cut a tendon. The harvested tendon can be used in various orthopedic procedures, such as ACL, PCL, and UCL reconstructions.

Abstract: A surgical imaging apparatus includes an imager configured to capture image data in a field of view and an elongated probe extending from a proximal end to a distal end. The distal end has a distal window through which the field of view is aligned. A controller is in communication with the imager and configured to detect a feature in the image data and identify a feature location of the feature in the image data. The controller further monitors the feature location in the image data. In response to a change in the feature location from a first position to a second position, the controller calculates an estimated force applied to the elongated probe.
