Device for performing a surgical procedure and method

A method for correction of a bone injury comprising:

• providing a device comprising:
• an inflatable member extending along a longitudinal axis between a first end having a first opening and a second end having a second opening, an inner surface of the inflatable member defining a first passageway in the first end and a chamber in the second end, the first and second openings being in communication with the first passageway,
• an inner member disposed in the first passageway and extending through the first and second openings, the inner member including an inner surface defining a second passageway, a first end of the inner member including a first opening and a second end of the inner member having a second opening, the first and second openings of the inner member being in communication with the second passageway, the second end of the inflatable member being bonded to an outer surface of the inner member, and
• a guide member disposed in the second passageway and extending through the first and second openings of the inner member;
• creating an access path to a defect in a bone;
• inserting the guide member through the access path such that a distal end of the guide member engages tissue to fix the guide member relative to the bone;
• inserting the inner member over the guide member such that the chamber is positioned in or adjacent the defect;
• and
• delivering a material through the first passageway and into the chamber to move the inflatable member from a first orientation in which the chamber has a first diameter to a second orientation in which the chamber has a second diameter, the second diameter being greater than the first diameter such that the chamber creates a void in or adjacent the defect when the inflatable member is in the second orientation.

A device for performing a surgical procedure comprising:

• an inflatable member extending along a longitudinal axis between a first end having a first opening and a second end having a second opening, an inner surface of the inflatable member defining a first passageway in the first end and a chamber in the second end, the first and second openings being in communication with the first passageway;
• an inner member disposed in the first passageway and extending through the first and second openings, the inner member including an inner surface defining a second passageway, a first end of the inner member including a first opening and a second end of the inner member having a second opening, the first and second openings of the inner member being in communication with the second passageway, the second end of the inflatable member being bonded to an outer surface of the inner member;
• and
• a guide member disposed in the second passageway and extending through the first and second openings of the inner member;
• and
• an outer member comprising an inner surface defining a third passageway, the third passageway comprising a first lumen having the inflatable member disposed therein and a second lumen having a bone filler material or a tool configured to deliver bone filler material disposed therein, the first lumen being spaced apart from the second lumen, at least one of the first and second lumens having an aperture including a first portion extending parallel to the longitudinal axis and a second portion extending transverse to the longitudinal axis,
• wherein the inflatable member is movable between a first orientation in which the chamber has a first diameter and a second orientation in which the chamber has a second diameter, the second diameter being greater than the first diameter.
