WRIGHT MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY, INC.

In some embodiments, a surgical guide may include a body having a first portion with a first ridge and a second ridge, and a second portion with a first ridge and a second ridge. The surgical guide may also include an insert disposed between the first ridge and the second ridge of the first portion and the first ridge and second ridge of the second portion. The insert may be configured to rotate relative to the body. The surgical guide may also include a guide aperture disposed within the insert that is sized to receive a surgical instrument. Other surgical guides and methods of using surgical guides are also disclosed.

Various embodiments of an emitter-aligned surgical guide and methods of use are disclosed. The emitter-aligned surgical guide includes a body extending between a first surface and a second surface. The body defines at least one hole extending from the first surface to the second surface. At least one alignment jig is coupled to the second surface. The at least one alignment jig includes a jig arm extending from a first end coupled to the second surface of the body to a second end and an emitter support configured to couple an emitter device to the at least one alignment jig in a predetermined position relative to the body.

An assembly includes a first portion including an anchor pivotally attached to a first end of the first portion, the anchor to be inserted into an intramedullary canal of a first bone fragment; a second portion pivotally attached to a second end of the first portion and including a first skin-interfacing portion; a second skin-interfacing portion to interface with and secure the assembly to skin adjacent to the first bone fragment; and an actuation mechanism attached between the first portion and the second portion that actuates pivoting of the second portion to the first portion; wherein a lateral force is generated between the first skin-interfacing portion against a second bone fragment, adjacent to the first bone fragment, and a holding force is provided by the anchor when the actuation mechanism is actuated, so the first portion pivots with respect to second portion, while the anchor is in the intramedullary canal.

A wire tensioner tip is provided having a first extension and a second extension spaced apart to define a ring slot. An engagement body is disposed within the ring receiving slot and includes projections configured to engage an outer surface of a ring positioned within the ring receiving slot. A coupling element extends from the body and is configured to couple the body to a wire tensioner.

A targeting guide is disclosed includes a handle extending substantially along a longitudinal axis. The longitudinal handle defines one or more burr holes extending from a first side of the handle to a second side of the handle. A head is coupled to a distal end of the longitudinal handle. The head defines a plurality of guide holes sized and configured to receive a k-wire therethrough.

A guide for a bone cut comprises a guide base having an inner wall defining an opening. The inner wall has a plurality of detents distributed around the opening. The guide base has a proximal surface adapted to contact a skin of a person. An inner collar has one or more spring loaded devices extending outward from the inner collar in opposite directions. The inner collar is mountable with the spring loaded devices fitting within one or more of the plurality of detents. The inner collar has an inner wall defining a bore for receiving a cutting tool. The inner collar is configured to pivot the cutting tool about an axis, for cutting a bone. The axis lies along or parallel to a line along which the spring loaded devices lie.

An instrument for use in cartilage removal comprises an elongate body having a first end and a longitudinal axis having a longitudinal direction. A cartilage removal portion is coupled to the elongate body at the first end. The cartilage removal portion includes a plurality of serrated blades substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and adapted for removing material while moving in the longitudinal direction. Each serrated blade has a centroid located along the longitudinal axis.

Disclosed are new and improved instruments, systems, and methods that relate to the field of orthopedic surgical instruments.

A hand tool, method, and system for distracting an articulating insert from a tibia tray are disclosed.

A method to remove a memory metal orthopedic staple from that is implanted in a bone repair site is disclosed. The orthopedic staple is in its relaxed state and the method includes (a) attaching an inserter tool/cartridge assembly to the orthopedic staple's bridge portion; (b) actuating the inserter tool to change the orthopedic staple from its relaxed state to its insertion state in which the two legs of the orthopedic staple are substantially parallel to each other; and (c) removing the orthopedic staple from the bone repair site.
