  • Methods and devices for restoration of a bone surface
    Patent number: 11147567
    Abstract: Instrumentation sets and methods for preparing and implanting an osteochondral allograft to a bone lesion. Instrumentation sets include a pair of guide blocks, a recipient guide block and an allograft guide block, for preparing a cavity at the bone lesion matched by a similarly sized and shaped allograft. Guide blocks provide simple and direct techniques for preparing a matching cavity, formed at the bone lesion, to a bone implant, to be secured within the cavity. Methods include use of the instrumentation to restore bone surfaces for any number of sites using any allograft source. In some cases, the bone lesion is in a humeral head and the allograft source is a talus.
