  • Patent number: 11399965
    Abstract: A surgical system includes a trial connected with a first image guide oriented relative to a sensor to communicate a signal representative of the trial relative to a patient anatomy. A tracking device includes the sensor and communicates with a processor to generate a storable image of the trial relative to the patient anatomy for display from a monitor. A spinal implant is connected with a second image guide oriented relative to the sensor to communicate a signal representative of the spinal implant relative to the patient anatomy. The sensor receives the signal of the second image guide and communicates with the processor to generate an image of the spinal implant in real time for display from the monitor in a configuration to align the spinal implant in real time with the stored image of the trial. In some embodiments, methods, spinal constructs, implants and surgical instruments are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20210068985
    Abstract: A method comprises the steps of: imaging at least one trial with a patient anatomy; acquiring data points representative of an image of the at least one trial selectively positioned relative to the patient anatomy; displaying the image from a computer monitor; imaging at least one spinal implant with the patient anatomy; and aligning the at least one spinal implant with the image via a display from the computer monitor. Systems, spinal constructs, implants and surgical instruments are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20210068970
    Abstract: A method for bone reconstruction includes aligning a first bone with a second bone using a plurality of guidewires to correct rotational deformity of the first and second bones. A first module of a targeting apparatus is positioned in proximity to the first bone. A tip of the first module is engaged with the first bone. A second module of the targeting apparatus is positioned in proximity to the second bone. A tip of the second module is engaged with the second bone. Alignment of the first module and the second module is secured. The alignment is verified using a guidewire, the guidewire wire is inserted through a passage extending through the second module. A length between the first bone and the second bone is determined using a depth gauge. An implant is selected based on the determined length for delivery along the passage extending through the second module.

  • Patent number: 10881530
    Abstract: A surgical instrument comprises a member defining a longitudinal axis and is connectable with a spinal implant. The member is connected to a handle disposed transverse relative to the axis and rotatable about the axis. An image guide is connected with the member and oriented relative to a sensor to communicate a signal representative of a position of the spinal implant. Systems, implants, spinal constructs and methods are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9700356
    Abstract: A sacroiliac joint fusion system including a joint implant, anchor element and delivery tool. The joint implant includes a bore extending non-parallel to the implant longitudinal axis. The anchor element is for receiving in the bore. The delivery tool includes an implant arm and anchor arm. The implant arm distal end is releasably coupled to the joint implant proximal end so the implant arm longitudinal axis is coaxial or parallel with the implant body longitudinal axis. An anchor arm distal end is engaged to the anchor element proximal end. The anchor arm is coupled to the implant arm such that the anchor element longitudinal axis is coaxially aligned with the bore longitudinal axis when the implant arm distal end is releasably coupled with the implant proximal end and the anchor arm distal end is engaged with the anchor element proximal end.
