Publication number: 20230218325Abstract: A system includes a first spacer sized and configured to be received within a resected bone space of a first bone and a second spacer sized and configured to be coupled to a second bone. The first spacer and the second spacer each include a body extending between a bone contacting surface and a coupling surface. At least one shim is positioned between the first and second spacers. The shim includes a body extending between a first coupling surface and a second coupling surface. The first spacer, the second spacer, and the at least one shim position the first and second bones in a predetermined alignment. An adjustable guide including a guide adapter and a guide body is configured to couple to the first spacer and is adjustable on a first axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2023Publication date: July 13, 2023Applicant: WRIGHT MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Dean J.

Patent number: 11490936Abstract: A resection guide includes a first body portion and a second body portion. The first body portion has a first bone engagement structure and defines a first plurality of holes. The second body portion has a second bone engagement structure and defines a second plurality of holes. The first body portion and the second body portion are operable to separate a first anatomical structure of a patient and a second anatomical structure of the patient. A cutting guide defines at least one guide aperture that is operable for guiding a cutting tool for use in resecting a portion of the second anatomical structure of the patient. The cutting guide is positionable relative to the first body portion.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2022Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: WRIGHT MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Dean J.
