An implantable fixation system for fusing a joint between a first bone and a second bone. The system may include an anchor, standoff, bolt, and cortical washer. The system may be implanted across the joint along a single trajectory, the length of the system adjustable to provide compressive force between the anchor and the cortical washer. The system may be implanted across a tibiotalar joint with the anchor positioned in the sinus tarsi. A spacing member may be inserted between the two bones and the fixation system implanted to extend through an opening in the spacing member. The spacing member may be anatomically shaped and / or provide deformity correction. An ankle arthroplasty system may include a tibial plate, a talar plate, and a bearing insert. The plates may be anchored to the tibia and talus along a single trajectory. The ankle arthroplasty system may be revisable to a fusion system.

An improve spinal surgical implant used primarily in the posterior aspect of the spinal column for spinal reconstruction; revision surgery; deformity correction; and / or tumor surgery and / or trauma surgery of the cervical, thoracic and / or and lumbo-sacral spine.

The present disclosure relates to software used in planning the correction of bone deformities preoperatively or postoperatively, and in particular relates to virtually manipulating rings and struts of an external fixation frame in order to plan the steps for making a desired correction to two or more bone portions of a patient. The software can be used prior to surgery, allowing a user to virtually define a bone deformity, and virtually add and manipulate fixation rings and struts to the bone deformity. Based on the virtual manipulations, a correction plan can be generated that describes length adjustments that should be made to the plurality of model struts over a period of time to correct the bone deformity. The software can also be used after surgical fixation of the fixation frame and struts to the deformed bone.

The invention relates to a method for correcting deformity and identifying an image of a go notation in real time. The method includes the following steps: firstly, conducting the deformity correction on the image: fixing the positions of a go board and a camera, determining the coordinates of three hundred and sixty one piece placing points on the go notation image acquired by the camera and determining the size of a rectangle frame to be calculated in the identification of pieces; and secondly, the identifying the go pieces: acquiring one frame of grayscale image as foreground, conducting differential operation with a background image to obtain a difference image, calculating parameters such as the grayscale average value of an effective pixel in the rectangle frame of each piece placing point, the quantity of the effective pixels, and the like one by one in the difference image according to the coordinates of the piece placing points, comparing the parameters with a set threshold, then detecting go notation data such as the colors and the positions of the pieces as well as piece taking, piece falling and the like according to a current party placing the pieces and go board information, and then updating the background image to the foreground image. The method adopts an algorithm which is concise, correct and efficient, can adapt to a certain extent of illumination change and especially can be applicable to the identification of a go notation in real time under an embedded system.

The subject of this invention is a system and method for distortion adaptation for use with an imaging grid alignment apparatus (analog or digital) and method of intra-operative use for joint replacements, spine, trauma fracture reductions and deformity correction and implant placement / alignment. The system provides for real time dynamic position tracked distortion-adaption grid.

A nasal and maxillary growth enhancer includes: a nose retracting member connected with a face mask, which is a maxillary protraction appliance, to be provided with an anterior traction power, the nose retracting member including: a nose grip having elastic arms branched from the top of a connector into two parts and inclined inwardly and nasal septum holders respectively formed on ends of the elastic arms to hold the nasal septum (located on the centerline between the two nostrils) after being inserted into the nostrils; the connector adapted to support the nose grip and a hook; and the hook formed on the bottom of the connector. The nasal and maxillary growth enhancer can correct the Class III malocclusion, which is called a ‘jutting chin’, and provide an effect of deformity correction by promoting the nasal and labial growth without undergoing a plastic surgery.

The invention discloses a temporomandibular joint deformity correction system and a method for making a personalized deformity correction device. The method comprises 1, analyzing an occlusal function through an occlusion analysis system to determine an occlusion position, 2, preparing original upper and lower jaw models according to the occlusion analysis system and re-positioning an occlusion plate through patient wearing with the original upper and lower jaw models, 3, carrying out re-examination on the patient each month, 4, after re-examination, determining whether the occlusion position is correct and carrying out deformity correction, 5, stabilizing the occlusion position and carrying out a tooth arrangement test, and 6, producing the personalized deformity correction device according to the tooth arrangement model after the tooth arrangement test. Compared with the prior art, the system realizes personalized tooth arrangement through combination of an adjustable frame, function analysis and projective measurement analysis according to the patient's skull surface type, utilizes a covering material to precisely control the position of the occlusion position, prevents occlusion position change, evaluates the tooth movement amount in a visual state through 3D data scanning before and after tooth arrangement and provides good deformity correction treatment guidance for later treatment.

A method of generating a correction plan for correcting a deformed bone includes inputting to a computer system a first image of the deformed bone in a first plane and inputting to the computer system a second image of the deformed bone in a second plane. Image processing techniques are employed to identify a plurality of anatomical landmarks of the deformed bone in the first image. The first image of the deformed bone is displayed on a display device. A graphical of the deformed bone is autonomously generated and graphically overlaid on the first image of the deformed bone on the display device, the graphical template including a plurality of lines, each line connected at each end to a landmark point corresponding to one of the anatomical landmarks. A model of the deformed bone may be autonomously generated based on the graphical template.
