Abstract: Surgical methods are presented for sizing and adjusting a spacer and trial relative to a joint so as to properly position a cutting guide for resection of a bone. The trial may be inserted into a resected space in a first bone, and the spacer may be inserted into one or more channels defined by the trial. The laxity of one or more ligaments may be assessed relative to at least one of the trial and the spacer.

Abstract: Various surgical devices and methods are disclosed herein. Also disclosed is multi-component prosthesis, which can be used as an ankle prosthesis. One of the disclosed surgical alignment systems includes a guide arm, a ratchet arm frame configured to be coupled slidably to the guide arm, a ratchet arm configured to be coupled to the ratchet arm frame, and a sagittal sizing guide body configured to be coupled to the ratchet arm. The sagittal sizing guide body includes a first radiopaque object disposed at a first position and a second radiopaque object disposed at a second position that is spaced apart from the first position.
