    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices according to this invention provide drill guides for optimal placement of fixation elements, such as half pins, into a patient's bone. According to one embodiment, a collar frame (202) with a collar adapted (204) to receive a bar (270) of an orthopedic external fixation system such that the collar may be moved linearly or rotationally about the bar is coupled to a guide frame (224) including a bore (232) through which a fixation element (266) of the external fixation system may be inserted. The coupling between the collar frame and the guide frame allows for them to rotate about at least one axis relative to each other. In one embodiment, the collar frame and the guide frame may rotate about three axes relative to each other.

    摘要: In one aspect, a method includes transmitting an interrogation signal. A first signal transmitted in response to the interrogation signal is detected, the first signal being transmitted by a first transponder arranged to move with a first bone fragment. A second signal transmitted in response to the interrogation signal is detected, the second signal being transmitted by a second transponder arranged to move with a second bone fragment. A distance between the bone fragments is determined using the detected signals.

    摘要: Systems (10, 110, 1010, 1110) for identifying landmarks (31, 131, 1028, 1128) on orthopedic implants (30, 130, 1024, 1124) are disclosed. The systems (10, 110, 1010, 1110) include a field generator (16, 116, 1016, 1116) for generating a magnetic field and an orthopedic implant (30, 130, 1024, 1124) located within the magnetic field. The implant (30, 130, 1024, 1124) includes at least one landmark (31, 131, 1028, 1128), an optional removable probe (1029, 1129) and a first magnetic sensor (32, 132, 1026, 1126). The systems (10, 110, 1010, 1110) further include a landmark identifier (18, 118, 1016, 1116) with an optional second magnetic sensor (20, 120, 1020, 1120) and a processor (12, 112, 1012, 1112) for comparing sensor data from the first sensor (32, 132, 1026,1126) and second sensor (20, 120, 1020, 1120) or data from the first sensor (32, 132, 1026,1126) and landmark identifier (18, 118, 1016, 1116) using the set distance to calculate the position of the landmark identifier (18, 118, 1016, 1116) relative to the at least one landmark (31, 131, 1028,1128). The disclosed systems (10, 110, 1010, 1110) allow for blind targeting of one or more landmarks (31, 131, 1028, 1128).
