Abstract
The present disclosure provides a device for use in a Lapidus fusion procedure and methods of use.
Claims11
A device comprising:
- a first rod having a first end and a second end opposite the first end;
- a second rod having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, wherein the first rod is rotatably coupled to the second rod between the first end of the second rod and the second end of the second rod, and wherein a movement of the second end of the first rod towards the second end of the second rod causes a distance between the first end of the first rod and the first end of the second rod to increase;
- a first locking mechanism comprising a locking rod configured to pivot relative to one of the first and second rods between an open position and a closed position, wherein, in the open position, the locking rod is coupled to one of the first and second rods, and wherein in the closed position, the locking rod is coupled to both of the first and second rods, wherein when the locking rod is in the closed position, the locking mechanism is configured to fix the distance between the first end of the first rod and the first end of the second rod;
- a joint positioned between a first portion of the second rod including the first end and a second portion of the second rod including the second end, wherein the joint enables a rotation of the first portion of the second rod with respect to the second portion of the second rod about a longitudinal axis of the first portion of the second rod;
- a handle coupled to the first portion of the second rod;
- and
- a second locking mechanism configured to fix the rotation of the first portion of the second rod with respect to the second portion of the second rod, wherein the second locking mechanism comprises a knob configured to rotate about the longitudinal axis of the first portion of the second rod between a first position in which the first portion of the second rod is freely rotatable with respect to the second portion of the second rod, and a second position in which the first portion of the second rod is rotatably fixed with respect to the second portion of the second rod.
