Abstract: A drive device includes a transmission in a housing, and a flow path. The transmission includes a shaft and a bearing supporting the shaft. The housing has a bearing holding portion that includes a facing surface on a first side in an axial direction with respect to an end on the first side of the shaft and orthogonal to the axial direction, and an inner surface extending from the facing surface to the other, second side in the axial direction and supporting the bearing. The flow path includes an inflow portion and an outflow portion below the inflow portion, both open to the inner surface. The facing surface has a rib protruding to the second side and orthogonal to the axial direction. At least a part of the rib is below the inflow portion, and at least a part of the rib covers the outflow portion from above.

Abstract: The present invention provides a collagen solid having higher strength and density. A collagen solid is used which contains a collagen-cysteine protease degradation product or an atelocollagen-cysteine protease degradation product and has a density of 50 mg/cm3 or more.

Abstract: Systems, devices, methods, and software for measuring and quantifying a limb movement are disclosed. An electromagnetic field generator generates an electromagnetic field; a plurality of electromagnetic sensors, positionable inside of the electromagnetic field and at different locations on a limb, generate position and orientation data; an electromagnetic stylus positionable inside of the electromagnetic field generates position and orientation data when activated; a processor coupled to the plurality of electromagnetic sensors and the stylus receives the data generated by the sensors and the stylus and calculates an angular movement of the limb and translation of an appendage coupled to a joint; and a display coupled to the processor displays at least one of the calculated angular movement and translation.

Abstract: A guide pin piercing jig includes a curved frame, a front cylinder unit provided at a front end of the frame, and a rear cylinder unit provided at a rear end of the frame, in which the front cylinder unit has a positioning projection and a boring aiming portion at a tip thereof, the rear cylinder unit has a plurality of parallel guide pin insertion cylinders into which to insert the guide pins and a tentative fixing unit provided at a tip of the rear cylinder unit, and the rear cylinder unit is provided at a rear end of the frame slidably so as be directed to a tip of the front cylinder unit. It becomes possible to aim at a proper portion of a living body bone through which to bore a bone tunnel and to pierce the living body bone with guide pins for hollow drills from behind the living body bone to the proper aiming portion in a proper direction.

Abstract: A guide pin piercing jig includes a cylinder unit and a frame having a positioning projection at a tip thereof, in which the cylinder unit has plural parallel guide pin insertion cylinders and tentative fixing unit and is attached to the frame slidably so as to be directed to the tip of the frame. It becomes possible to pierce living body bone with plural guide pins for hollow drills to a proper portion of a living body bone in a proper direction with parallel arrangement to form a bone tunnel that has a rectangular or elliptical opening and is suitable for tendon transplantation.

Abstract: A drill guide has a main body in which a drill insertion hole is formed and plural projection portions to be inserted into plural bone tunnels. The plural projection portions project forward from the main body parallel with the center line of the drill insertion hole, a virtual drill insertion hole which extends from the drill insertion hole of the main body is formed between the plural projection portions parallel with their center lines by cutting out confronting portions of the plural projection portions, and the length of at least one of the drill insertion hole and the virtual drill insertion hole is 5 mm or more. The drill guide can guide a drill so as to be correctly between plural bone tunnels bored through a living body bone without causing axis deviation so that a link bone tunnel for connecting the plural bone tunnels can be formed between them in the same direction as their direction.
