The present disclosure provides an apparatus comprising a wire having a first end and a second end opposite the first end. A first portion of the wire including the first end comprises a malleable region that is configured to remain deformed after bending, and a second portion of the wire including the second end comprises a superelastic region that is configured to return to a straight configuration after bending.

Variable stiffness hammertoe k-wire and methods for use

A multi-staple inserter and drill guide, and methods of use thereof, are disclosed therein. The orthopedic staples can also be used in addition to interfragmentary screws to apply further compression of the bone fragments.

Orthopedic staple insertion

Compression/reduction drivers for performing surgical methods are provided. Exemplary surgical methods that may be performed using the compression/reduction drivers described herein include, but are not limited to, arthrodesis procedures (i.e., bone fusion procedures), fracture fixation procedures, etc. The compression/reduction drivers are configured to simultaneously and independently apply a force against a bone segment and drive a fixation device into the bone segment.

Compression/reduction drivers for performing surgical methods

Surgical reduction tool assemblies may be used for achieving compression between bone fragments or across joints when performing arthrodesis procedures, bone fracture procedures, etc. The reduction tool assemblies may be used to reduce a gap between bone fragments or between bones of a joint prior to attempting to achieve final compression with a bone plate.
