Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for remediating a condition present in a patient. In some implementations, the apparatus may include a body and a trajectory port that extends through the body. The trajectory port guides a tool to form a bone tunnel in a bone of a patient. The trajectory port is defined at least partially on a bone model of at least a portion of bone of the patient. The apparatus may include a bone engagement feature that extends from the body, the bone engagement feature configured to engage at least a portion of the bone such that the bone engagement feature positions the bone tunnel guide in a position that corresponds to a modeled position of a bone tunnel guide model engaging a bone model.
Claims20
A bone tunnel guide for forming a bone tunnel in bone of a patient for a soft tissue transfer procedure, the bone tunnel guide comprising:
- a body having a superior side, an inferior side, a medial side, a lateral side, a posterior side, and an anterior side;
- a trajectory port that extends through the body, the trajectory port configured to guide a tool for forming the bone tunnel in a bone of a patient, the bone tunnel configured to receive soft tissue during the soft tissue transfer procedure, the trajectory port defined at least partially based on a bone model of at least a portion of the bone, the bone model based on medical imaging of the bone of the patient;
- and
- a bone engagement feature that extends from the body, the bone engagement feature configured to engage at least a portion of the bone such that the bone engagement feature positions the bone tunnel guide in a position that corresponds to a modeled position of a bone tunnel guide model engaging a bone model.
A tendon transfer system for tendon deployment to remediate a bone condition present in a patient's foot, comprising:
- a tendon trajectory guide comprising:
- a body having a superior side, an inferior side, a medial side, a lateral side,
- a posterior side, and an anterior side;
- a trajectory port that extends through the body, the trajectory port configured to guide a tool for forming a bone tunnel in a foot bone of a patient, the trajectory port defined at least partially on a bone model of at least a portion of the foot bone, the bone model based on medical imaging of the foot bone of the patient;
- and
- a bone engagement surface on the inferior side of the body, the bone engagement surface configured to engage a surface of the foot bone such that the bone engagement surface positions the tendon trajectory guide at a desired position on the foot bone;
- an inserter having:
- a proximal end;
- a distal end;
- an elongated body between the proximal end and the distal end;
- and
- wherein the distal end comprises a point and the proximal end comprises an opening;
- and
- a handle comprising a first coupler configured to removably engage with a second coupler connected to the tendon trajectory guide.
A bone tunnel guide for forming a bone tunnel in a bone of a patient for a soft tissue transfer procedure, the bone tunnel guide comprising:
- a body having a superior side, an inferior side, a medial side, a lateral side, a posterior side, and an anterior side;
- a trajectory port that extends through the body, the trajectory port configured to guide a tool for forming a bone tunnel in a bone of a patient, the bone tunnel configured to receive soft tissue during the soft tissue transfer procedure, the trajectory port defined at least partially based on a bone model of at least a portion of the bone, the bone model based on medical imaging of the bone of the patient;
- and
- a plurality of bone engagement features that extend from the body, the plurality of bone engagement features configured to engage at least a portion of the bone and wherein a number of bone engagement features is defined at least in part by user instructions.
