Abstract: A geared-motor assembly for use in a spatial frame is disclosed. Each of the geared-motor assemblies being selectively attachable and detachable from a manually adjustable strut in a spatial frame. In use, with the geared-motor assemblies detached, the struts can be manually adjusted (e.g., rotated) to, for example, facilitate initial construction of the spatial frame in the operating room, to allow patients to manually adjust the struts if desired, etc. Thereafter, with the geared-motor assemblies coupled to the struts, motorized and/or automated adjustment of the struts according to a treatment plan can be achieved. In use, each of the geared-motor assemblies is configured as a stand-alone device including all of the needed intelligence (e.g., microprocessor, printed-circuit board, etc.) and power supply to control and power the geared-motor assembly so that no external wires or centralized controller is required.

Abstract: A spatial frame apparatus for positioning on a patient to treat an injury. The apparatus includes a frame having one or more motorized struts. One or more motorized struts include one or more motors configured to cause movement of one or more motorized struts in one or more directions in accordance with one or more treatment plans. The apparatus includes one or more processing 2024/102351 components communicatively coupled to one or more motorized struts and/or one or more motors. One or more processing components determine one or more loading parameters on the one or more motorized struts. The loading parameters define loading on the one or more motorized struts resulting from the frame being positioned and/or adjusted on the patient. The processing components execute at least one adjustment of one or more motorized struts based on the determined loading parameters.

Abstract: An external fixation K-wire clamp including an elongated channel arranged and configured to receive a K-wire. In some examples, the elongated channel is devoid of any predefined grooves so that a K-wire can be positioned anywhere along the length of the elongated channel and/or in various orientations. In addition, and/or alternatively, an exemplary method of use for treating a distal radius fracture is disclosed. The method enabling earlier hand/wrist therapeutics.
