Implants, systems, instruments, methods, and kits for metatarsophalangeal joint arthroplasty may include metatarsal arthroplasty implants, repositioning guides, broach tools, inserter tools, and sterilizable packaging configured to facilitate metatarsal arthroplasty surgical procedures. The metatarsal arthroplasty implants may generally include an articular member having a convex articular surface, a concave bone-facing surface opposite the convex articular surface, and at least one side surface intermediate the convex articular surface and the concave bone-facing surface, as well as a central shaft sized for insertion into a metatarsal bone having a central shaft longitudinal axis, a central shaft proximal end coupled to the concave bone-facing surface of the articular member, and a central shaft distal end extending away from the concave bone-facing surface of the articular member along the central shaft longitudinal axis.

Metatarsal arthroplasty devices, systems, and methods

Various temporary fixation devices, fixation systems and kits, and methods of fixing a bone plate to a bone are described. A temporary fixation device includes a wire member and a retaining member. The wire member has a proximal end, a distal end, a flange disposed between the proximal end and the distal end, a first portion extending from the proximal end to the flange and defining a first outer diameter, and a second portion extending from the distal end toward the flange and defining a second outer diameter and a second portion outer surface. The retaining member defines an inner passageway and can be disposed on the second portion of the wire member such that the retaining member is movable along the second portion of the wire member, from the distal end to the flange. The elongate member comprises a first material and the stopping member comprises a second material that is different from the first material.

Bone fixation devices, systems, kits, and methods

A bone fixation plate comprises a main body formed of a first material and a support member formed of a second, different material and attached to the main body. The main body defines a first set of openings and the support member defines a second set of openings aligned with the first set of openings. For each opening of the first set of openings, a main body circumferential surface is disposed adjacent and continuous with a support member circumferential surface of the second set of openings to define an opening circumferential surface that bounds an opening of the first set of openings and an opening of the second set of openings.
