Abstract
Provided herein is an adjustable implant configured to non-invasively guide bone growth in a patient. The adjustable implant includes a first portion configured to couple to a first bone segment and a second portion at least partially disposed within the first portion and configured to couple to a second bone segment. The adjustable implant includes a drive assembly configured to be transcutaneously actuated, and to drive rotation of a gear assembly configured to rotate about a first axis, and drive axial translation of the second portion along a second axis. Non-invasive actuation of the drive assembly therefore causes the adjustable implant to distract or retract along the second axis.
