Abstract: Various implementations include implants and related methods for moving bone. Certain implementations include an implant for moving a plurality of separate bone segments in a patient's body, the implant including: an implantable biocompatible housing; a first shuttle coupled with the housing and defining a first set of one or more holes for receiving a bone anchor coupled to a first bone segment in the plurality of bone segments; a second shuttle coupled with the housing and defining a second set of one or more holes for receiving a bone anchor coupled to a second bone segment in the plurality of bone segments; and a drive system disposed at least partially within the housing and configured to translate the first and second shuttles relative to the housing to move the first and second bone segments, respectively.

Abstract: One aspect of the disclosure relates to an extramedullary biocompatible implant for moving bone in a patient's body. In some cases, the implant includes: a first plate configured to be attached to bone at a first location; a second plate configured to be attached to bone at a second location; and a distractor extending from the first plate and being at least partially contained within the second plate, where the distractor houses a drive system including a driver and a gear system coupled with the driver, and where the drive system is configured to cause translation of the second plate relative to the first plate.

Abstract: Provided herein is an adjustable implant configured to non-invasively guide bone growth in a patient. The adjustable implant includes a first portion configured to couple to a first bone segment and a second portion at least partially disposed within the first portion and configured to couple to a second bone segment. The adjustable implant includes a drive assembly configured to be transcutaneously actuated, and to drive rotation of a gear assembly configured to rotate about a first axis, and drive axial translation of the second portion along a second axis. Non-invasive actuation of the drive assembly therefore causes the adjustable implant to distract or retract along the second axis.

Abstract: An adjustable implant system configured to non-invasively guide bone growth in a patient. The adjustable implant system includes a tether having a first end coupled to a fixed bone anchor and a second end coupled to an adjustable bone anchor. The adjustable bone anchor includes a driver disposed within a housing and the driver is configured to actuate in response to an externally applied magnetic field. The adjustable implant system includes an external adjustment device configured to non-invasively actuate the driver disposed within the adjustable bone anchor. Non-invasive actuation of the driver can cause the adjustable bone anchor to increase or decrease the amount of tension on the tether.
