Publication number: 20240041498Abstract: The present disclosure relates to software used in planning the correction of bone deformities preoperatively or postoperatively, and in particular relates to virtually manipulating rings and struts of an external fixation frame in order to plan the steps for making a desired correction to two or more bone portions of a patient. The software can be used prior to surgery, allowing a user to virtually define a bone deformity, and virtually add and manipulate fixation rings and struts to the bone deformity. Based on the virtual manipulations, a correction plan can be generated that describes length adjustments that should be made to the plurality of model struts over a period of time to correct the bone deformity. The software can also be used after surgical fixation of the fixation frame and struts to the deformed bone.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: Stryker European Operations Holdings LLCInventors: Adam John Edelhauser, Ashish Gangwar, Sandeep Menon

Publication number: 20230397934Abstract: An external fixation system includes first and second fixation members having first and second pluralities of mounting holes, respectively. The first and second plurality of holes are configured to receive first and second ends of a plurality of struts, each strut having a default or initial mounting position. A simulation of the correction may be performed with the struts in the default positions, but it may be determined that the correction is not achievable. Additional simulations of the correction may be performed with the ends of the struts in different mounting positions to determine if other mounting positions of the struts allow the correction to be completed. During the correction, if one of the struts reaches a maximum length, it may be disconnected and reconnected to a different mounting hole so that, after being reconnected, the strut may be further increased in length to continue the correction.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2023Publication date: December 14, 2023Applicant: Stryker European Operations Holdings LLCInventors: Adam John Edelhauser, Ashish Gangwar, Sridhar Anjanappa, Subash K.

Publication number: 20230310032Abstract: A tool for implementing a correction plan in an external fixation frame having a plurality of adjustment elements or screws, for example, generally includes a driver, a motor, a controller, and a processor. The driver is adapted to engage and rotate each of the screws. The motor is coupled the driver and adapted to rotate the driver. The controller is connected to the motor and configured to control operation of the motor. The processor adapted configured to: receive correction plan data; receive identification data including information for identifying at least one of the plurality of screws; determine movement of at least one of the plurality of the screws based on the correction plan data and the identification data; and send signals indicative of the determined movement to the controller in order to rotate at least one of the plurality of screws according to a predetermined correction plan.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Applicant: Stryker European Operations Holdings LLCInventors: Vinzenz Andreas Burgherr, Adam John Edelhauser, Yves Stephane Crozet, Marcel Aeschlimann, Christoph Dworzak, Antonino Lanci, Markus Mast
