Abstract: Intramedullary aiming systems, instruments, and methods of treating bone fractures are provided. The aiming systems may include one or more instruments configured to ensure optimal alignment and placement of one or more components of an intramedullary nailing system, such as anteversion alignment, anti-rotation, lag screw aiming, distal aiming, and other instruments suitable to enhance and optimize the surgical procedure.

Abstract: A navigated pelvic implant system includes a robot with a control unit and an end effector, at least one patient position sensor in electronic communication with the robot, and a database of anatomical information, including anatomical features, that is in electronic communication with the control unit; where the control unit receives patient imaging information and determines variance between a patient and other patients found in the database, and then the control unit selects at least one implant and an associated trajectory for surgery, then the control unit determines position of the patient through input imaging data and input from the at least one patient position sensor, the control unit will then proceed with the previously determined implant and trajectory, followed by the end effector using a drill to create an opening and holding an implant insertion mechanism to secure the implant within the opening in the patient's pelvis.

Abstract: Orthopedic bone fasteners, assemblies, and methods for spinal and trauma applications. The bone fastener may include a screw head and a shaft with an external thread helically wound around the shaft. Each thread section includes a crest, a root, and leading and following flanks connecting the crest to adjacent roots. The external thread may have a hook and latch style thread geometry. The leading and/or following flanks may define a hook, such as an undercut, configured to improve bone purchase, resist axial and lateral forces, improve pull-out strength, minimize micromotion, and/or lag bone fragments together.

Abstract: An external fixation system for treatment of bones includes first and second clamps for locking pins that are inserted into bones. At least one clamp includes a socket having a recess. An attachment post includes a distal portion configured to be inserted into the socket recess. A tightening nut is rotationally coupled to a shaft of the attachment post and has an internal threading adapted to be threaded to the external threading of the socket. When the tightening nut is rotated to cause the distal portion of the post to be further inserted into the recess, the sides of the distal portion of the post create an interference fit with the sides of the socket recess to lock the post to the first clamp.
