  • Patent number: 12636001
    Abstract: A surgical system for joint procedures includes a distractor device with two pivotable arms and two distracting members, along with two attachable tools—one designed to hold or position a prosthetic device and interface with a bone surface, and the other to interface with the opposing bone surface and allow passage of the prosthetic device. The distractor device adjusts the arms to move closer together or farther apart, modifying the space between bone surfaces. The first tool securely engages a prosthetic device or interfaces with a bone. The second tool fits the opposing bone and includes an opening for the prosthetic device to pass through. This system facilitates controlled joint distraction and precise insertion and alignment of a prosthetic device, such as a stemmed tibial implant, during orthopedic surgery. The system is beneficial for procedures like total ankle replacement, enhancing surgical access and outcomes by supporting accurate placement of implants.

  • Patent number: 10398562
    Abstract: A talar implant, comprising: a superior surface, defined by an arc having at least one first radius; an inferior surface, defined by an arc having at least one second radius, a lateral side; a medial side; a posterior portion having a first width; and an anterior portion having a second width; wherein the implant is configured to restore a tibio-talar joint tension, wherein the superior surface is separated from the inferior surface by a thickness, wherein the at least one first radius is smaller than the at least one second radius, wherein the center of the arc having at least one first radius is offset from the center of the arc having at least one second radius in at least one plane of the talar implant, and wherein the anterior portion further comprises an extension configured to provide support.

  • Patent number: 9308037
    Abstract: An ankle fusion device has a proximal portion generally aligned with a first longitudinal axis. The proximal portion includes a proximal end and a first fastener hole. The proximal portion has an arcuate curve such that the proximal end is spaced a distance from the first longitudinal axis in a first direction. The first fastener hole is configured to receive a first fastener along a first fastener axis. A distal portion of the ankle fusion device extends to a distal end from the proximal portion along a second longitudinal axis. The second longitudinal axis is angled in second and third directions relative to the first longitudinal axis. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the third direction being opposite the first direction. The distal portion includes a second fastener hole configured to receive a second fastener along a second fastener axis.
