Abstract: There is an implant, comprising a plate portion at a first end, and a stem portion at a second end extending away from an end of the plate portion. In one embodiment, the plate portion comprises a first lobe with a first screw hole; and a second lobe with a second screw hole, wherein the first lobe is adjacent to the second lobe. There is also method of inserting an implant, comprising preparing a patient's bones, performing an osteotomy on the patient's bones to form a first bone segment and a second bone segment, aligning the first bone segment and the second bone segment and inserting an implant into an intramedullary canal in the second bone segment.

Abstract: There is disclosed a bone fixation device that can include a cage having an optional mesh portion. The bone fixation device can be configured to couple a leg portion to a foot portion of a user's body. In at least one embodiment, the device includes at least one cage having a plurality of struts forming cells. There can be an optional mesh portion having a pre-set porosity that can be either constant or variable in density. In at least one embodiment there can be a cage portion which is substantially spherical shaped. Alternatively, the device can be substantially egg shaped. In at least one embodiment there can be a central post hole for receiving a post. In another embodiment at least one plate or shaft can connect to the cage.

Abstract: There is a process for correcting a bone injury, an implant for correcting the bone injury and a kit for applying the implant for correcting the bone injury. The process can be made substantially uniform with the application of a standardized kit. In at least one application the process is for correcting a bunion on a patient. The process can include applying a first drill guide to a bone, and then a second drill guide. Once the drill guides have been applied and wires have been inserted into a bone, an implant can then be applied to correct a bone injury and to allow the bone injury to heal.

Abstract: There is disclosed a talus implant comprising a base having at least one hole and at least one pin. There is also a top comprising at least one hole and at least one pin, wherein the top is configured to be inserted into the base. At least one embodiment comprises a tibial implant comprising at least one post and at least one base coupled to the at least one post. Additionally, there is at least one pad coupled to the at least one base, wherein the at least one pad is selectively insertable into and removable from the at least one base. A method for fabricating a talus and tibial implant is disclosed and also a method for inserting a talus implant and a tibial implant into a patient having a damaged talus joint.

Abstract: A talar implant having at least one body section, at least one mesh section and at least one solid section extending down from the body section. The solid section having at least one point end. Further disclosed is a kit for inserting a talar implant including at least one tibial guide, at least one talar guide, and at least one impactor for inserting the talar implant into a talus. In addition, a method for implanting a talus implant is disclosed. The method can include identifying a damaged area on a talus, projecting a missing damaged area on a contralateral joint and printing an implant based upon a mirror image of a portion of the contralateral joint. The method can include applying at least one guide, removing at least a portion of a damaged region of the talus, inserting the talar implant and setting the talar implant in the talus.

Abstract: There is a fixation device for promoting fusion and/or osteosynthesis of a first bone segment and a second bone segment, comprising a bone plate portion including an outer surface, an inner surface and at least one fixation aperture extending from the outer surface to the inner surface and a bone wedge portion extending from the plate portion at a first end and a free opposite end, the bone wedge portion comprising a porous architecture configured to promote bone ingrowth, the wedge portion defining first and second engagement surfaces for engaging the first bone segment and a second bone segment, respectively. There is also a method of manufacturing a fixation device for promoting fusion and/or osteosynthesis of a first bone segment and a second bone segment, a method of promoting fusion and/or osteosynthesis of a first bone segment and a second bone segment, and a fixation kit.
