Abstract

A surgical device includes an elongate body extending from a proximal end to a distal end. The distal end of the elongate body defines a notch sized and configured to receive a reamer. A coupling assembly is supported by the elongate body and includes a reamer guide body disposed at the distal end of the elongate body. The reamer guide body configured to move between a first position and a second position in which the reaming guide body extends at least partially across the notch. A locking assembly is supported by the elongate body and is configured to releasably engage the coupling assembly to maintain the reamer guide body in the second position.

Claims (23)

1. A system, comprising:

a first assembly, the first assembly including:

a base defining a passageway therethrough, and including at least a first side and a second side, with a third side disposed between the first side and the second side;

a central member disposed within the passageway and defining a bore, the central member including a threaded portion and a plurality of flexible prongs; and

a knob engaged to the threaded portion of the central member, the knob defining a hole that communicates with the bore and having an internal geometry configured to engage the flexible prongs of the central member in response to the knob being rotated relative to the central member;

a second assembly including:

a base plate coupled to the third side of the first assembly using at least one peg;

at least one elongate member extending perpendicularly from the base plate, and

a mounting member slidably coupled to the at least one elongate member,

wherein the base plate of the second assembly is configured to releasably engage the base of the first assembly.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first side and the second side of the base of the first assembly defines a recess that receives a detent extending from the base plate of the second assembly.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the base of the first assembly defines an opening between the first side, the second side, and the third side, the opening being located adjacent to the passageway.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the base of the first assembly defines a plurality of holes therethrough, each of the plurality of holes sized and configured to receive a pin therethrough for securing the first assembly to a patient.

5. A surgical guidance system, comprising:

a drill guide, including

a drill bushing,

a base defining a passageway therethrough, and including at least a first side and a second side, with a third side disposed between the first side and the second side; and

a locking assembly having a central member including a threaded portion and a plurality of flexible prongs and a knob engaged to the threaded portion of the central member, the knob defining a hole that is aligned with the bore and having an internal geometry configured to move the flexible prongs of the central member in response to being rotated relative to the central member, the locking assembly being coupled to the base and defining a bore therethrough, the locking assembly configured to lock a surgical instrument within the bore; and

a footholder to which the base of the drill guide can be releasably coupled, the footholder assembly including

a base plate coupled to the third side of the base of the drill guide using at least one peg;

at least one elongate member extending perpendicularly from the base plate; and

a mounting member slidably coupled to the at least one elongate member wherein the base plate of the footholder assembly is configured to releasably engage the base of the drill guide.

6. The surgical guidance system of claim 5 , wherein at least one of the first side and the second side of the base of the drill guide defines a recess, the recess sized and configured to receive a member of the base plate of the footholder for coupling the drill guide to the footholder.
