Claims18
A joint compression device, comprising:
- a base system, comprising:
- a first member, comprising:
- a body;
- an opening extending through at least a portion of the body from a first side to a second side;
- at least one supporting member extending across the opening;
- a through hole extending through the body and the at least one supporting member;
- a foot member extending from a side of the body;
- a knob opening extending through the foot member from a first side to a second side;
- and
- a recessed region extending into the foot member from a first end of the first member, wherein the knob opening extends into the first member perpendicular to the through hole;
- a second member;
- at least one parallel member coupling the first member to the second member, wherein the second member translates along the at least one parallel member, and wherein the at least one parallel member comprises:
- at least one bar;
- and
- at least one arm coupled to the base system.

- at least one parallel member coupling the first member to the second member, wherein the second member translates along the at least one parallel member, and wherein the at least one parallel member comprises:
- at least one bar;
- and
- at least one arm coupled to the base system;
- and
- attaching the base system to the patient;
- and
- applying compression across the at least one joint with the joint compression device to fuse the joint.
