  • Patent number: 9993255
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20170042555
    Abstract: A position adjustment device having a tool holder is locked to at least two pins projecting from respective anterior facing locations near a distal end of a tibia of a patient. The position adjustment device is adjusted. The position adjustment device is locked with the tool holder at first coordinates in the proximal-distal and medial-lateral directions. The distal end of the tibia is resectioned with a tool positioned on the tool holder, while the tool holder is in the first coordinates in the proximal-distal and medial-lateral directions. The tool is removed from the tool holder. A tibia trial is placed on the resectioned tibia using the tool holder, while the tool holder is in the first coordinates in the proximal-distal and medial-lateral directions. The tibia trial has a size and shape of a tibial tray of an ankle replacement system.
