Abstract: An external fixation system for the correction of long bone deformities includes an elongate beam element having an engagement feature along a longitudinal edge of the elongate beam element, a connector element secured to the elongate beam and structurally configured to support a first bone anchor extending from the external fixation system, and a movable carriage engaged with the engagement feature along the longitudinal edge of the elongate beam element and selectively movable along the engagement feature of the elongate beam element. The movable carriage is selectively lockable into a position along the elongate beam element. The movable carriage is structurally configured to support a second bone anchor extending from the external fixation system.

Abstract: An orthopedic clamp for affixing at least two fixation members relative to each other is disclosed. The clamp includes a first clamp comprising first outer and inner jaws that define first clamping surfaces that form a first recess, and a second clamp comprising second outer and inner jaws that define second clamping surfaces that form a second recess. The clamps also include a post extending from the second outer jaw and through the second inner jaw, the first inner jaw and the first outer jaw. The post defines a clamping axis, and the second recess defines an axis that intersects the clamping axis. The clamp further includes a clamping nut threadably coupled to the post configured to exert a clamping force to the first and second clamps to fix at least one of a first fixation member within the first recess and a second fixation member within the second recess.

Abstract: An undercarriage sprayer includes a plurality of nozzle blocks aligned side-by-side, where each of the nozzle blocks includes a lateral channel therethrough and an upward-facing nozzle cap. A conduit extends between each of the lateral channels in fluid communication with each of the nozzle caps. The nozzle blocks prevent the water supply from being crushed when driving a vehicle over the undercarriage sprayer. Additionally, the nozzle blocks may be connected such that the undercarriage sprayer can be folded or rolled on itself.

Abstract: A projection system includes a tracking system comprising a first source of light and a first light sensor; a second source of light and a second light sensor, a reflector, and a processing system. The first light sensor may record a first direction the first source is pointed when it receives a reflection of the first light source from the reflector. The second light sensor may record a second direction the second source is pointed when it receives the reflection of the second light source from the reflector. The processing system may determine a point in space corresponding to an intersection of the first and second directions, and may calculate the relationship between the first and second light sources and the reflector.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for measuring deformation of an orthopedic implant in a patient to identify a location of a feature of the orthopedic implant in the patient. Mechanical locking features may be used to align a drilling guide with the feature of the orthopedic implant.

Abstract: A surgical navigation system for navigating a region of a patient that may include a non-invasive dynamic reference frame and/or fiducial marker, sensor tipped instruments, and isolator circuits. The dynamic reference frame may be placed on the patient in a precise location for guiding the instruments. The dynamic reference frames may be fixedly placed on the patient. Also the dynamic reference frames may be placed to allow generally natural movements of soft tissue relative to the dynamic reference frames. Also methods are provided to determine positions of the dynamic reference frames. Anatomical landmarks may be determined intra-operatively and without access to the anatomical structure.

Abstract: A surgical navigation system for tracking a procedure relative to a patient is disclosed. The system can track a portion of the patient, an instrument, both, and both or either relative to image data, a coordinate system, an atlas, a morphed atlas, or combinations thereof. The system can include a minimally or non-invasive dynamic reference frame and/or fiducial marker, sensor tipped instruments, and isolator circuits.
