Patent number: 9993255Abstract: A system includes a guide arm, a ratchet arm frame configured to be coupled 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. The first radiopaque object has a length that corresponds to a length of a second prosthesis component. When the surgical alignment system is positioned for use on a patient, the first radiopaque object identifies a location at which a first resection of a first bone is to be performed. The second radiopaque object has a profile that corresponds to a profile of a first prosthesis component for installation on a second bone.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2014Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: Wright Medical Technology, Inc.Inventors: Shawn McGinley, Robert M.
