Abstract: Alignment instruments may include joint-line referencing systems having an alignment arm having a body with first and second portions defining first and second sides. The first portion has at least one first pin tube through-hole extending from the first to the second side. The second portion has a first opening on the first side. A pin tube guide member is receivable in the first through-hole. The pin tube guide member has a passageway therethrough. An angelwing alignment member includes a portion receivable in the first opening of the alignment arm. An alignment foot is secured to the second portion, and the alignment foot has a handle and a shim. The shim is positionable in a joint between a first bone and a second bone, the alignment arm is alignable relative to a first bone, and the pin tube guide is operable for securing a pin into the first bone.

Abstract: Devices, systems, implants and methods for achieving ligament fixation are disclosed. An implant includes a head member and an anchor member coupled to the head member. The implant includes tension member that couples the head member to the anchor member. The head member and the anchor member include a cannulation that receives the tension member therein. The implant may include a coupling member positioned between and coupling the head member and the anchor member, the coupling member including a cannulation that receives the tension member therethrough. Insertion instruments for inserting an implant for ligament fixation are also disclosed. Methods of using an implant for achieving ligament fixation are also disclosed.

Abstract: Resection guides include a body a plurality of alignment pin through-holes and a plurality of guide through-holes so that the pattern of guide through-holes is operable for receiving a drill for use in resecting the at least a portion of the anatomical structure of the patient. Sweeping reamers include a body having a plurality of alignment pin through-holes and an elongated opening, and a reamer extendable through the elongated opening of the body. Decoupled resection guides include a first body having a plurality of alignment pin through-holes and a second body having a plurality of fixation pin through-holes and at least one guide aperture operable for guiding a cutting tool for use in resecting a portion of the second anatomical structure of the patient. Methods employing the same are disclosed and operable in, for example, total ankle replacement.

Abstract: Methods for total ankle replacement procedures are disclosed. A method includes making an initial incision, obtaining an alignment guide, performing an alignment, performing a tibia and talar resection, trialing the implant components, performing a talar chamfer resection, and implanting the components.

Abstract: A bone plate alignment system includes an alignment guide and a bone plate. The alignment guide includes a body portion, a first arm extending from a first side of the body portion, and a second arm extending from a second side of the body portion. The first and second arms extend from the body portion at a substantially oblique angle relative to one another. The bone plate includes an upper portion having at least one opening configured to receive at least one fastener to facilitate coupling with a first bone, a lower portion having at least one opening configured to receive at least one fastener to facilitate coupling with a second bone, and an intermediate portion disposed between the upper and lower portions, wherein the intermediate portion is configured to be disposed substantially adjacent both the first bone and the second bone.

Abstract: Implants, devices, systems and methods for maintaining, correcting and/or fusing joint deformities are disclosed. The implant including a first member, a second member, and a coupling member with a first end and a second end, wherein the first end engages the first member and the second end engages the second member. Methods of using the implants for maintaining, correcting and/or fusing joint deformities are also disclosed.

Abstract: Implants, devices, instruments, systems and methods for using the same for correcting bone deformities in the lower extremity are disclosed. Specifically, implants, devices, instruments and systems used for ankle fusion procedures are disclosed. The implants including an interior frame, an exterior frame surrounding the interior frame, and a lattice structure extending between at least a portion of the interior frame and the exterior frame.

Abstract: Bone fusion system, devices, guides, implant and methods for using the bone fusion system, devices, guides and implant are disclosed. The fusion system includes a first alignment guide, a second alignment guide, and an implant. The first alignment guide couples to an intermediate portion of the implant and the second alignment guide couples to a distal portion of the implant.
