Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for transverse bone transport. A transverse bone transport system may include a template for measuring and cutting a segment of the bone and a distractor for moving the segment. The template may include a plate including an opening configured to fit a pin sleeve. A channel may extend from the opening in the plate to a side of the plate. The distractor may include a first beam, a second beam, and an actuator including a knob configured to rotate in a first direction to increase a distance between the first beam and the second beam and in a second direction to decrease a distance between the first beam and the second beam.

Abstract: An orthopedic bone transport system includes an external fixation frame and a cable pulling device. The external fixation frame is attachable to a fixed bone segment with the external fixation frame oriented in a first plane. The cable pulling device includes a main body configured to be secured to the external fixation frame, a reel, and a transmission. The reel is rotatable about said main body and configured to wind up a cable to be secured to a transport bone segment to move said transport bone segment towards said fixed bone segment. The main body is secured to the external fixation frame with an axis of rotation of the reel oriented substantially parallel to the first plane, the axis of rotation of the reel thereby substantially lying on a transverse plane with respect to the fixed bone segment. The transmission drives the reel in order to wind up the cable.
