AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent text describes bone fixation devices for fusing bones, particularly the foot and ankle bones. The invention includes an alignment guide and an implant, which can be used to prepare joints and stabilize fractures or dislocations. The implant has a unique design and is easy to use in surgery. The technical effects of this invention include improved accuracy in bone fixation and reduced surgery time.

Problems solved by technology

The currently available guides and systems limit a surgeon's options and do not allow for adjustment based on each patient's unique anatomy.

Embodiment Construction

[0065]Generally stated, disclosed herein are embodiments of devices, implants, guides, and systems for fixation of human bones, such as, foot and ankle bones. Further, surgical methods for using the devices, implants, guides, and systems for fixation of human bones to stabilize realignment of a fracture, dislocation, fusion or the like of the foot and ankle bones are discussed.

[0066]In this detailed description and the following claims, the words proximal, distal, anterior or plantar, posterior or dorsal, medial, lateral, superior and inferior are defined by their standard usage for indicating a particular part of a bone, implant, device or guide according to the relative disposition of the natural bone or directional terms of reference. For example, “proximal” means the portion of a device or implant nearest the torso, while “distal” indicates the portion of the device or implant farthest from the torso. As for directional terms, “anterior” is a direction towards the front side of ...

Abstract

Bone fusion system, devices, guide, implant and methods for using the bone fusion system, devices, guide and implant are disclosed. The fusion system includes an alignment guide and an implant. The alignment guide couples to the implant. The alignment guide includes a body, a fixation member engaging a first end of the body, and a tissue protector engaging a second end of the body. The implant includes a body portion, an extension portion extending away from a first end of the body portion, a curved portion extending away from a second end of the body portion, and a foot member extending away from the curved portion perpendicular to the body portion. Finally, methods for using the bone fusion system, devices, guide and implant are disclosed.
