摘要:
Anatomically shaped augments (102, 206) that are configured for implantation in a bone and which have one or more reliefs (128). A distal end (116) of an outer portion (112) of the augment can have a shape that is configured to generally conform to the shape of a metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction (140) of an intramedullary canal of a bone. A proximal end (118) of the outer portion can have a shape that is configured to generally conform to a shape of the metaphyseal region of the intramedullary canal. The reliefs can be configured to reduce a size of the augment and enhance the degree of freedom in the implant positioning and/or sizing of the augment. Further, such reliefs may contour the augment so as to prevent cortical bone contact and/or prevent contact with the implant device that may be associated with misalignment between an intramedullary canal and metaphyseal or diaphyseal regions of the bone.

An alignment guide includes a main body sized and shaped to contact the proximal end of a tibia, and a retaining guide coupled to the main body. The retaining guide includes guide surfaces and is adjustable relative to the main body such that an operator can intra-operatively adjust the position of the guide surfaces relative to the main body to capture the anterior and posterior cruciate ligament between the guide surfaces.
摘要:
An arthroscopic anchor insertion tool and method for inserting consecutive, longitudinally aligned anchors from a common deployment channel of a cannulated needle by employing positive stops to prevent travel of an actuator from simultaneously advancing multiple anchors into a surgical site.

Embodiments of negative pressure wound therapy systems and methods for operating the systems are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system includes a pump assembly and a wound dressing configured to be positioned over a wound. The pump assembly and the wound dressing can be fluidically connected to facilitate delivery of negative pressure to a wound via a fluid flow path. The system can be configured to efficiently deliver negative pressure and to detect and indicate presence of conditions, such as a blockage in a fluid flow path. Monitoring of the conditions can be performed by detecting a level of activity of a pump of the pump assembly.
摘要:
Methods and systems of customizing orthopaedic devices. The methods of some embodiments allow for receiving information about a surgical site of a patient, using the information about the surgical site to determine a surgical procedure step for creating an anatomic structure attribute, using information about the anatomic structure attribute to determine a custom attribute for an orthopaedic device, and manufacturing the orthopaedic device to include the custom attribute.
摘要:
An assembly and method are disclosed. The assembly includes an orthopaedic implant and an active compression member. The implant has a compression screw hole with a step and the active compression member includes an outer tube and an inner slide. The tube and slide allow the proximal end portion and the distal end portion to move relative to one another. The method includes inserting a guide wire, placing a drill over the guide wire and drilling into a femur, tapping the drilled hole, using a compression device to reduce the fracture using the orthopaedic implant step, and inserting one or more active compression members into the tapped hole.
摘要:
A method and device for securing a tissue graft within a bone passage includes providing a graft fixation device that houses a closed loop having both braided and non-braided portions. A tissue graft is looped through the closed loop at the non-braided portion to attach the tissue graft to the graft fixation device. The graft fixation device is passed through the bone passage and seated against the surface of the bone to secure the tissue graft within the bone passage.
摘要:
Systems, devices, and methods are described for providing patient anatomy models with indications of model accuracy included with the model. Accuracy is determined, for example, by analyzing gradients at tissue boundaries or by analyzing tissue surface curvature in a three-dimensional anatomy model. The determined accuracy is graphically provided to an operator along with the patient model. The overlaid accuracy indications facilitate the operator's understanding of the model, for example by showing areas of the model that may deviate from the modeled patient's actual anatomy.
