A plating system includes a bone plate including an aperture and a longitudinal axis. A locking member is receivable in the aperture to attach the bone plate to a joint. The plating system includes a guide including a body having a first end portion and a second end portion, an attachment portion attached to the bone plate, and a translating portion including a sleeve having a sleeve longitudinal axis. The sleeve receives a drill or a guide wire. The first end portion of the body is connected to the attachment portion, and the translating portion is connected to and translates relative to the second end portion of the body along an axis to move the sleeve. The sleeve defines one of a plurality of trajectories. The axis is substantially perpendicular to the plate longitudinal axis of the bone plate and the sleeve longitudinal axis.

Interfragmentary guide and plate system

A bone plate according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, inter alia, a body portion. The body portion includes a first slotted portion extending at least partially through the body portion and a plurality of teeth adjacent the first slotted portion for engaging a driver in the first slotted portion. The body portion also includes a second slotted portion extending at least partially through the body portion and a ramped portion at least partially surrounding the second slotted portion. The ramped portion tapers from an outer surface of the body portion toward an inner surface of the body portion.

Bone compression plate

A plating system includes a bone plate including an aperture. A locking member is receivable in the aperture to attach the bone plate to a joint. The plating system includes a guide including a body having a first end portion, a second end portion, an attachment portion attached to the bone plate, and a rotating portion including a sleeve to receive a drill or a guide wire. The first end portion of the body is rotationally connected to the attachment portion to pivot the body about a first axis to move the sleeve, and the rotating portion is rotationally connected to the second end portion of the body of the guide to pivot the rotating portion about a second axis to move the sleeve. The rotating portion translates along the second axis to move the sleeve, and the sleeve defines one of a plurality of trajectories.

Methods and apparatus for repair of toe deformities using a bioabsorbable pin. The apparatus is a kit of part comprising a bioabsorbable pin, a predrill, a bone tamp, a cutter and a forceps. One surgical method of repairing toe deformities includes resecting a proximal interphalangeal joint, drilling a hole in a proximal phalanx using a proximal portion of a pin, removing the pin from the proximal phalanx, drilling a tip of a toe through middle and distal phalanxes, driving the pin retrograde and traversing the distal, middle and proximal phalanxes until the pin stops advancing due to resistance at a proximal cortex, holding the pin and powering a pin driver to separate a distal portion of the pin, and suturing the wound.
