Abstract
Surgical instruments, systems, and methods for performing an osteotomy are disclosed herein. A surgical system includes a body with a distal end, a proximal end, a first surface, and a second surface. The surgical system can include cutting blades positioned on the first surface and/or the second surface. The surgical system can include columns of cutting blades positioned on the first surface and/or the second surface. The surgical system can include rows of cutting blades positioned on the first surface and/or the second surface.
Claims18
A surgical system, comprising:
- a body comprising:
- a first surface comprising a first plurality of cutting blades positioned on the first surface, wherein each cutting blade of the first plurality of cutting blades comprises a first blade height;
- a second surface comprising a second plurality of cutting blades positioned on the second surface, wherein:
- the second surface is opposite the first surface, and
- each cutting blade of the second plurality of cutting blades comprises a second blade height;
- a third surface;
- a fourth surface;
- at least one aperture that extends at least partially through the body;
- and
- a blade block guide comprising at least one post and configured to conform to the at least one aperture,
- wherein:
- the first surface, the second surface, the third surface, and the fourth surface are parallel to a reference axis, and
- the first surface is angled with respect to the second surface.
A surgical system, comprising:
- a body comprising:
- a first surface comprising a first plurality of columns of cutting blades positioned on the first surface, wherein the first plurality of columns of cutting blades comprises a first column of cutting blades and a second column of cutting blades, wherein:
- each cutting blade of the first column of cutting blades comprises a first blade height, and
- each cutting blade of the second column of cutting blades comprises a second blade height,
- the first blade height is greater than the second blade height wherein the difference between the first blade height and the second blade height is a first peak, and
- the first plurality of columns of cutting blades alternate between the first column of cutting blades and the second column of cutting blades;
- a second surface comprising a second plurality of columns of cutting blades positioned on the second surface, wherein:
- the second plurality of columns of cutting blades comprises a third column of cutting blades and a fourth column of cutting blades,
- each cutting blade of the third column of cutting blades comprises a third blade height,
- each cutting blade of the fourth column of cutting blades comprises a fourth blade height,
- the third blade height is greater than the fourth blade height wherein the difference between the third blade height and the fourth blade height is a second peak, and
- the second plurality of columns of cutting blades alternate between the third column of cutting blades and the fourth column of cutting blades;
- wherein:
- the first peak and the second peak are the same;
- a third surface;
- a fourth surface;
- wherein
- the first surface, the second surface, the third surface, and the fourth surface are parallel to a reference axis;
- and
- the first surface is angled with respect to the second surface;
- at least one aperture that extends at least partially through the body;
- and
- a blade block guide comprising at least one post and configured to conform to the at least one aperture.
A surgical system, comprising:
- a body comprising:
- a first surface;
- a first plurality of columns of cutting blades positioned on the first surface, wherein each of the cutting blades in the first plurality of columns are a first height;
- a second plurality of columns of cutting blades positioned on the first surface, wherein each of the cutting blades in the second plurality of columns are a second height, wherein the first height is greater than the second height.
