MIS Osteotomy Guide With Multi-Angle Access Ports

The patent introduces a surgical guide as an intermediary device between the surgeon and the bone structure. The guide includes a body with multiple access ports (first, second, and third ports at different orientations) that mediate the cutting process, ensuring precise osteotomy alignment. The guide also incorporates fixation apertures and coupling arms that act as intermediaries to securely attach the guide to the first and second metatarsal bones, thereby improving both precision and stability during the Lapidus procedure

The surgical guide is designed to be positioned and fixed to the bones before the actual osteotomy cutting occurs. The coupling arms are attached to the first and second metatarsal bones in advance, establishing a stable reference framework. The access ports are pre-configured at specific angles and positions to guide the cutting instruments along the desired trajectory, ensuring that the osteotomy is performed with the correct alignment before the bones are separated for fusion

The surgical guide is segmented into distinct functional components: a main body containing multiple access ports (first, second, and third ports with different orientations), coupling arms for bone attachment, fixation apertures for securing the guide, and guide channels for instrument alignment. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function while maintaining overall system precision without excessive complexity

The surgical guide body serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides structural support, defines the orientation and position of multiple access ports for different cutting approaches, incorporates fixation apertures for secure bone attachment, and contains guide channels for instrument alignment. This multi-functionality reduces the need for multiple separate devices, managing complexity while maintaining high precision
