Abstract: An apparatus for correcting bunion deformity includes an elongated member, a first arm member extending from a first end to a second end, a second arm member, and a rotation guide. The first arm member has an arm axis and is coupled to the first end of the elongated member so that the arm axis extends in an orthogonal direction from the elongated member. The second arm member includes an attachment portion configured to translatably engage the elongated member and an extension extending in the same orthogonal direction as the first arm member. The rotation guide is coupled to the first arm member such that the rotation guide is configured to rotate with respect to the first arm member about a rotation axis, the rotation guide defining a bore having a longitudinal axis.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a targeting guide is disclosed. The targeting guide includes a handle defining a targeting hole and a targeting tower configured to be coupled to the handle. The targeting tower defines at least a first guide hole and a second guide hole. Each of the first and second guide holes are sized and configured to receive a respective first guide pin and second guide pin therethrough. The first and second guide pins are configured to indicate alignment of a k-wire inserted through the targeting hole defined by the handle. Methods of using a targeting guide are also disclosed.

Abstract: A wedge osteotomy method inserts a first wire into a first bone of the foot, distal from tissue to be removed. A second wire is inserted into a second bone, so the tissue to be removed is distal from the second wire. A cut guide is pivoted about the first wire, until a first axis of the cut guide is parallel with a longitudinal axis of the first metatarsal. The cut guide has a slot perpendicular to the first axis for guiding a cutter to cut bone, while the first axis is aligned with the longitudinal axis of the first metatarsal. The cut guide is then pivoted about the second wire, until the first axis is aligned with the longitudinal axis of the talus, and bone is cut through the slot, to form a second planar cut into or through bone material.

Abstract: A bone anchor includes a flexible strand defining a first adjustable loop and a friction knot coupled to a proximal end of the first adjustable loop. The friction knot is configured to allow adjustment of the first adjustable loop in a first configuration and is configured to prevent adjustment of the first adjustable loop in a second configuration. A knot capsule includes a body defining an internal knot cavity. The friction knot and a portion of the first adjustable loop are positioned within the internal knot cavity. The internal knot cavity defines one or more impingement surfaces configured to maintain the friction knot in a fixed position within the internal knot cavity when the friction knot is in the second configuration.

Abstract: A suture management device includes a handle defining a first elongate channel. The first elongate channel extends about a longitudinal circumference of the handle. A shaft extends distally from the handle. A suture anchor is coupled to a distal end of the shaft. A suture is configured to extend from the suture anchor proximally along the shaft and into the first elongate channel defined by the handle. A door integrally can be formed with the handle. The suture extends into an area between the door and the handle. The door is configured to maintain tension on the suture when in a closed position.

Abstract: A suture management device comprises a first body portion comprising a first post and a second post having a predetermined spacing. A second body portion is releasably coupled to the first body portion. A shaft extends distally from the first body portion. A suture anchor is releasably coupled to a distal end of the shaft. At least one suture extends proximally from the suture anchor along an outer surface of the shaft. The at least one suture is configured to be wrapped around the first and second posts to maintain the suture in a fixed position when the first body portion is coupled to the second body portion. The proximal end of the suture is coupled to the second body portion.

Abstract: A cut guide includes a first face and an opposed second face. The cut guide further includes a first aperture and a second aperture extending through the cut guide from the first face to the second face. The first and second apertures are configured to guide a surgical tool in cutting a bone. The cut guide further includes a first hole extending through the cut guide from the first face to the second face. The cut guide further includes a second hole extending through the cut guide. A central axis of the second hole is oriented at an acute angle to the second face. The first and second holes are configured to receive a wire to position the guide against the bone.
