Abstract: The disclosure describes embodiments of systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable storage media that securely generates an unscrubbed Metro2 file. In particular, the disclosed systems can receive data from multiple data sources that relates to a user account. In some cases, the disclosed systems can merge the data related to the user account by utilizing a transformation framework to generate a data staging table. In one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems, based on the data stagging table can generate a scrubbed Metro2 file that does not include personal identification information. In some cases, the disclosed systems can validate the scrubbed Metro2 file by analyzing the data related to the user account. Subsequently, in some instances, based on validating the scrubbed Metro2 file, the disclosed systems can add the personal identification information to the scrubbed Metro2 file and generate an unscrubbed Metro2 file.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method of alignment for resection of tissue including obtaining a surgical device comprising an alignment guide, a first guide structure and a second guide structure; securing the alignment guide to a bone, the alignment guide including a positioning block; placing the first guide structure onto the positioning block of the alignment guide; viewing a target location of a first resection plane on the bone using the first guide structure; adjusting the target location of the first resection plane by adjusting a position of the first guide structure; attaching the second guide structure to the first guide structure; viewing a target location of a second resection plane on the bone using the second guide structure; and adjusting the target location of the second resection plane by adjusting a position of the second guide structure.

Abstract: A tissue resection guide for use with a datum includes a base releasably engagable with the datum. The tissue resection guide has a first frame fixed relative to the base and the first frame has at least one integral first guide path that is sized and configured to at least partially capture and guide a first tissue resection tool relative to the first frame.

Abstract: One aspect of the present invention relates to a tissue resection guide that includes a central body, a first flange and a second flange, the flanges having first and second guide surfaces, respectively, suitable for use in tissue resection. Each guide surface lies on a cutting plane, both planes intersecting interior to the flanges. In the embodiments described, the availability of two cutting planes ensures resections in more than one plane are possible. As a result, bone segments can be removed via a cut on two planes without the need to cut across an entire section of bone on one plane. In some embodiments, an opening exists between the first flange and the second flange to ensure that each resection overlaps. In other aspects of the invention, systems and methods of use for the tissue resection guide are described.

Abstract: A plate is disclosed for compressing together first and second bone parts. The plate includes screw holes adapted to receive screws for insertion into first and second bone parts, respectively, at least one of the screw holes being a compression slot with formations configured to ensure, when a respective screw is seated within the slot, an adjustable compression force adapted to bring the first and second bone parts closer together. The plate also comprises a circular guide pin hole for insertion of a pin into one of the first and second bone parts, and another guide pin hole, in the form of an elongate slot, for insertion of a pin into the other of the first and second bone parts. The plate may also include a curvature adapted to cause at least a pair of screws inserted into screw holes of the plate to converge.

The tissue resection guide has a first frame fixed relative to the base and the first frame has at least one integral first guide path that is sized and configured to at least partially capture and guide a first tissue resection tool relative to the first frame.

Abstract: The plate is fixed by screws (3) engaged in holes (1a) formed in the thickness of the plate which is designed in such a way as to ensure an adjustable compression effort, created by a screwing effect, which brings the two bone parts closer together. The design consists of at least one recess (1b) having a cross-section defining a plurality of separate areas (1b1), (1b2) and (1b3) that can co-operate with a screw (3) in order to generate a progressive translational movement of the screw (3) during the screwing action, corresponding to a movement of at least one of the bone parts, and causing the compression effort. Said plate (1) comprises a recess (1c) for the introduction of a spindle (4) on the side of one of the bone parts, and another recess (1d) for the introduction of a spindle (5) on the side of the other bone part, one of said recesses (1c) consisting of a circular hole having a diameter which essentially corresponds to that of the spindle (4), and the other recess (1d) consisting of an oblong hole.

Abstract: A plate for fixing the bones of a joint, in particular of a metatarso-phalangeal joint, for the purpose of performing arthodesis. The plate comprises two sections, respectively a proximal section and a distal section, each section having a respective longitudinal axis of symmetry S1, S2 such that the projection onto a horizontal plane of the axis of symmetry S2 of the distal section presents an angle of inclination relative to the projection of the axis of symmetry S1 of the proximal portion, the projections inserting at a point A. The projection onto a vertical plane of the axis of symmetry S2 presents an angle of inclination relative to the projection of the axis of symmetry S1, their intersection taking place at a point A2 which is distinct from the point A1.

Abstract: Perfluoroelastomers that contain high levels (i.e. about 40 mole percent or more) of perfluoro(alkyl vinyl ether) copolymerized units can form stable blends with higher levels of perfluoropolyethers than can perfluoroelastomers that contain lower levels of perfluoro(alkyl vinyl ether) units. Thus, the former blends have better low temperature properties than the latter.
