Abstract: An intramedullary nail includes an elongate body having a proximal end and a distal body portion, and a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal end and the distal body portion. A securing member for locking the nail to a bone is provided, with the nail being inserted into the bone.

Abstract: An external fixation system includes a first elongate rod having a first ratchet end and a first fixation end; and a second elongate rod having a second ratchet end and a second fixation end. A ratchet assembly is attached to the first ratchet end and the second ratchet end. The ratchet assembly is configured to compress the first and second elongate rods to each other. A first fixation member is attached to the first fixation end and a second fixation member is attached to the second fixation end.

Abstract: A system for performing interbody fusion surgery including an expandable intervertebral spacer and specialized instruments for choosing the correct size of implant, implanting the device within the intervertebral space, and for delivery of bone graft or bone substitute to the interior of the implant.

Abstract: A bone fusion assembly includes a bone plate having a plurality of through openings extending therethrough. The through openings include at least one fusion screw opening sized to allow a screw guide to be at least partially inserted therein and a plurality of fixation screw through openings. The screw guide includes a body having a proximal end, a distal end, and a through-passage extending between the proximal end and the distal end. A K-wire a sized to extend through the through-passage in the body of the screw guide.

Abstract: A compression staple insertion kit includes first and second elongate handles, each including a handle arm having a proximal end and a distal end, distal from the proximal end. A boss extend is outwardly from the distal end. A central longitudinal axis extends between the arms. The handle arms are pivotally attached to each other at the distal ends at a pivot, which extends along the central longitudinal axis. A slider is slidingly attached to the handle. The slider is movable between a staple securing position at the distal end, wherein proximal ends are biased toward each other and a staple release position toward the proximal end, wherein the proximal ends are biased away from each other. A staple is disposed over the bosses.

Abstract: A hands free drill guide includes a handle having a proximal handle end portion, a distal gripping end portion, and a longitudinal through-passage extending between the proximal end portion and the distal gripping end portion. The distal end portion includes two legs extending along either side of the through passage. A method of using the drill guide is also provided.

Abstract: A retaining plate with locking mechanism assembly includes a retaining plate having a first screw hole extending therethrough and a spring blocker rotatably mounted in plate proximate to the first screw hole. The spring blocker includes a body portion, a first land extending radially from the body portion above the retaining plate, and a first wing extending tangentially from the first land in a first arc. When a first screw is inserted into the first screw hole, when the spring blocker is rotated to a first position, the first land extends over a portion of the first screw. When the spring blocker is rotated to a second position, the first wing extends over the portion of the first screw. When the spring blocker is rotated to a third position, neither the first land nor the first wing extends over the portion of the first screw.
