  • Publication number: 20210000487
    Abstract: Surgical instruments for performing wedge-shaped osteotomies are disclosed herein. One surgical instrument includes a body including a distal end, a proximal end, and a top surface. The top surface includes a slope extending upward and along a single plane from the distal end to the proximal end. Multiple columns of cutting blades positioned on the top surface and each of the cutting blades includes a respective uniform height that extends vertically along at least a portion of the slope. Another surgical instrument includes a top surface including a flat plane. Multiple columns of cutting blades are positioned on the top surface and the columns of cutting blades are spaced apart and positioned on at least a portion of the top surface. Each cutting blade extends horizontally along the top surface and includes an increasing slope extending upward and along a single plane from the distal end to the proximal end.

  • Publication number: 20210000483
    Abstract: Surgical instruments for performing osteotomies and particularly, wedge-shaped osteotomies, are disclosed herein. A surgical instrument includes a body with a distal end, a proximal end, a bottom surface, and a top surface including a slope extending upward and along a single plane from the distal end to the proximal end. The surgical instrument further includes multiple cutting burrs positioned on the top surface extending along the slope from the distal end to the proximal end and teeth positioned on the distal end. Further, the body tapers from the distal end to the proximal end. Other surgical instruments include a non-patterned set of cutting burrs along the slope from the distal end to the proximal end or the cutting burrs positioned in multiple rows or columns on the top surface along the slope from the distal end to the proximal end.

One surgical instrument includes a body with a distal end, a proximal end, a bottom surface, and a top surface including a slope extending upward and along a single plane from the distal end to the proximal end. The surgical instrument further includes multiple columns of cutting blades positioned on the top surface in which each of the cutting blades are spaced apart and extend vertically along at least a portion of the slope from the distal end to the proximal end. Another surgical instrument includes the cutting blades positioned in multiple rows of cutting blades on the top surface such that the multiple rows of cutting blades extend along the slope from the distal end to the proximal end and each cutting blade in the plurality of cutting blades extends horizontally across the top surface.

  • Publication number: 20200093515
    Abstract: Innovative orthopedic implant assemblies and devices are provided. One example assembly includes two implant devices. An example implant device includes two ends oppositely located with a bulbous portion located at one end and a screw portion located at the opposite end. An example second implant device includes two ends oppositely located with a looped portion defining an aperture located at one end and a nail portion located at the opposite end. The nail portion can include a tip and a smooth or substantially smooth portion. The second implant device can be implanted into a bone by striking the looped portion to facilitate the tip and at least part of the nail portion penetrating the bone.

  • Publication number: 20190336189
    Abstract: Innovative orthopedic implant assemblies and devices are provided. One example assembly may include two implant devices. An example implant device may include two ends oppositely located with a bulbous portion at one end. An example bulbous portion may include a crown defining a terminal axis of one end and a thread disposed on an exterior surface of the bulbous portion and originating at the crown. A threaded portion defining a second terminal axis may be located at another end. An example second implant device may include two ends oppositely located. A looped portion defining an aperture including an interior surface with a groove disposed therein may be located at one end and the other end may include a screw portion or a nail portion. The thread and the groove can lock the bulbous portion and the looped portion when engaged with one another.
