The present invention provides a method and device for restoring individual patient joint kinematics using minimally invasive surgical procedures. The instrumentation of the invention sculpts the articular surface of a first bone that normally articulates in a predetermined manner with a second bone. The instrumentation includes a bone sculpting tool and a mount for attaching the tool to the second bone. The implant system is comprised of implants that provide intraoperative surgical options for articular constraint and facilitate proper alignment and orientation of the joint to restore kinematics as defined by the individual patient anatomy.

The present invention, in the preferred embodiment, is a surgery recovery brassiere which resolves many of the problems faced by women who have undergone breast surgery and particularly, mastectomy. The present invention comprises front panels, prosthesis panels, rear panels, torso band, straps, drain tube apertures and fluid collection storage pouch.More specifically, two front panels each comprise a cup portion and a conforming portion. The prosthesis panels are attached to the rear facing of the cup portion of the front panel to form enclosed pockets to hold one or two prosthesis. Each of the two rear panels are joined at one end to the front panels and extend to meet the opposing rear panel at a back closure. The free end of each of the front panels meet to form a front closure. Straps extend from the top of the front panel to the top of the adjacent rear panel. The torso band extends around the lower edge of the surgery recovery brassiere to form an almost continuous strip of material along the lower edge of the front and rear panels.The surgery recovery brassiere further accommodates post-operative surgical drainage systems composed of one or more drain tubes and associated fluid collection bulbs. The position of drainage tube apertures, generally located proximate to the joint between the front and rear panels, allow drainage tubes to protrude from the chest wall, through the apertures and into the collection storage pouch. Tab closures allow the wearer to secure the drainage tubes within the aperture to further reduce movement of the tubes and disturbance of the drainage system. The storage pouch provides pockets with elastic top entry so that collection bulbs are within easy, convenient reach for emptying lymphatic fluids and other waste materials. The upper edge of the storage pouch releasably attaches to the torso band with a hook-and-loop fastener system.

A fixing structure of bone screws and a connecting rod for a minimally invasive surgery contains: a rigid sleeve having a receiving space, two slots, and a through hole, the receiving space and the through hole being defined on two ends of the rigid sleeve, and the two slots being formed on two opposite sides of an outer wall of the rigid sleeve and communicate with the receiving space; a flexible column being circular and retained in the receiving space of the rigid sleeve. Thereby, a complete rigid limitation and partial flexible limitations generate between at least one bone screw, hence only a tiny opening is cut in the minimally invasive surgery to facilitate surgery recovery and to lower infection risk.

Pressure sensitive devices, systems and methods for alerting a user of movements potentially adverse to health or surgical recovery are disclosed.

The invention discloses a device for treating massive rotator cuff tear. The device comprises a pressurizing device, a high-pressure tee device, a handle device and a saccule device, wherein the pressurizing device, the high-pressure tee device, the handle device and the saccule device are sequentially connected. According to the device disclosed by the invention, an upper joint capsule reconstruction principle is utilized; a saccule structure is adopted to replace autologous tendon or allogeneic tendon, and is used for treating the massive rotator cuff tear, especially supraspinatus muscle and tendon tear; the saccule is stuffed between the head of humerus and the acromion to replace the torn tendon, so that the situation that the head of humerus impacts the acromion to generate violent pain is avoided, and the spherical mesh structure of the rotator cuff is repaired; the saccule can be produced in batch, so that the problem that the source of the autologous tendon or the allogeneic tendon is not sufficient is solved; the device can be used for open type operations, and can also be used for minimally invasive arthroscope operations; when the device is used in the minimally invasive arthroscope operations, the operation wound of a patient can be greatly alleviated, and the operation recovery time of the patient is reduced; and the device is easy to operate and easy to use clinically.

The present embodiments provide a brace which includes an actuator. The actuator provides movement of the arm and shoulder, abduction movement, so that during recovery from shoulder surgery, the shoulder and arm movement may be supported in increased range of motion positions. This may be done with a single brace rather than requiring multiple braces during the recovery process.

The present invention relates to the technical field of double-fold eyelid surgery and specifically relates to a continuous line embedding method double-fold eyelid surgery technology. The continuousline embedding method double-fold eyelid surgery technology comprises the following steps: step one, conducting preoperative preparation: preparing surgical instruments and disinfecting and cleaning asurgical table, instruments, and surgical sites of clients; step two, marking points and conducting lineation: drawing a double-fold eyelid pre-determined line, marking out h, b, i, c, j, d, k, e, l,f and m marking points on both ends of the double-fold eyelid pre-determined line at equal distances from the a point to the g point ; step three, conducting a local disinfection treatment; step four, conducting a first threading: operating needle in and out from the g point to the a point successively; step five, conducting a second threading: operating needle in and out from the a point to theg point successively; step six, taking up threads: conducting needle out at the g point and suture line ligation, and burying thread residues in skin under the g point; and step seven, conducting postoperative cleaning: conducting disinfection and cleaning at or around needle holes.
