Instruments, guides, systems and related methods for total ankle prostheses are disclosed. The instruments, guides, systems and related methods facilitate preparation of a tibia and/or talus of a patient for implantation of a total ankle prosthesis therein. The instruments, guides, systems and related methods also facilitate selection of a particular size of a tibial component, a talus component and/or a tibial insert of the total ankle prosthesis that suits the patient. The instruments, guides, systems and related methods include a tibial trial component, a talar trial component and tibial insert trial component that replicate one or more aspects of the tibial component, the talus component and the tibial insert, respectively, of the total ankle prosthesis. The talar trial component includes an articulation surface that articulates with the tibial insert trial component, and slots that facilitate chamfered resection of the patient's talus for the implantation of the talus component thereon.

Total ankle replacement trial and preparation systems, guides, instruments and related methods

A distractor system for use in a joint between two bone surfaces of an anatomical structure includes, for example, distractor and at least one detachable tool comprising a body having a proximal portion and a distal portion, said proximal portion being releasably attachable to at least one of a first end of the distractor and/or a second end of the distractor. The distal portion of the detachable tool being operably positionable in the joint between the two bone surfaces of the anatomical structure. The detachable tools may include a detachable paddle.

Distractors having attachable paddles, impaction devices, and methods for use in total ankle replacement

Instruments, devices, systems and methods for maintaining, correcting and/or fusing joint deformities are disclosed. The system includes a first translation mechanism, a second translation mechanism coupled to the first translation mechanism, and a third translation mechanism coupled to the second translation mechanism, and a tower coupled to the third translation mechanism. Methods of assembling and using the alignment guides for maintaining, correcting and/or fusing joint deformities are also disclosed.

Joint replacement alignment guides, systems and methods of use and assembly

Alignment instruments may include joint-line referencing systems having an alignment arm having a body with first and second portions defining first and second sides. The first portion has at least one first pin tube through-hole extending from the first to the second side. The second portion has a first opening on the first side. A pin tube guide member is receivable in the first through-hole. The pin tube guide member has a passageway therethrough. An angelwing alignment member includes a portion receivable in the first opening of the alignment arm. An alignment foot is secured to the second portion, and the alignment foot has a handle and a shim. The shim is positionable in a joint between a first bone and a second bone, the alignment arm is alignable relative to a first bone, and the pin tube guide is operable for securing a pin into the first bone.

Alignment instruments and methods for use in total ankle replacement

Resection guides include a body a plurality of alignment pin through-holes and a plurality of guide through-holes so that the pattern of guide through-holes is operable for receiving a drill for use in resecting the at least a portion of the anatomical structure of the patient. Sweeping reamers include a body having a plurality of alignment pin through-holes and an elongated opening, and a reamer extendable through the elongated opening of the body. Decoupled resection guides include a first body having a plurality of alignment pin through-holes and a second body having a plurality of fixation pin through-holes and at least one guide aperture operable for guiding a cutting tool for use in resecting a portion of the second anatomical structure of the patient. Methods employing the same are disclosed and operable in, for example, total ankle replacement.

Resection guides, sweeping reamers, and methods for use in total ankle replacement

Methods for total ankle replacement procedures are disclosed. A method includes making an initial incision, obtaining an alignment guide, performing an alignment, performing a tibia and talar resection, trialing the implant components, performing a talar chamfer resection, and implanting the components.

Total ankle replacement surgical method

Patient specific instruments, systems and methods for maintaining, correcting and/or resurfacing joint surfaces. A tibia alignment guide including a body with a first surface and a second surface, a base portion coupled to and extending away from the first surface of the body, and a tower portion coupled to and extending away from a top surface of the body.

Patient specific instruments and methods of use

Total ankle replacement trial and preparation systems

Guides, implants, devices, instruments, systems, and assemblies for achieving bone fusion are disclosed. A bone fusion system, including an implant template, a guide wire for insertion through the implant template, a bone plate for receiving the guide wire, and an alignment guide apparatus for coupling to the bone plate. Methods of using a bone fusion system for achieving bone fusion are also disclosed.

Bone fixation system, assembly, implants, devices, insertion guides, and methods of use

Laser-based implant guide systems and methods that align an implant with an axis of an anatomical structure of interest are disclosed. The systems include a target base configured to couple to a patient in alignment with the axis, and a target member configured to couple to the target base that includes a visual indication of the location of the axis. The systems further include an implant guide that includes a laser device and a resection guide. The implant guide is configured to adjust at least one of the position and the orientation of the laser device with respect to the anatomical structure of interest such that a laser line projecting from the laser device is aligned with the visual indication of the target member, and the resection guide facilities implantation of the implant in a resected portion of the anatomical structure of interest in alignment with the axis.

Laser-based implant alignment and resection guide systems and related methods

Instruments, devices, systems and methods for maintaining, correcting and/or fusing joint deformities are disclosed. The system includes a first translation mechanism, a second translation mechanism coupled to the first translation mechanism, and a third translation mechanism coupled to the second translation mechanism. Methods of assembling and using the alignment guides for maintaining, correcting and/or fusing joint deformities are also disclosed.
