Minimally invasive surgical tools and systems
A surgical tool includes a body defining an opening sized and configured to receive a first bone portion therein, a displacement tip coupled to a first end of the body, the displacement tip sized and configured for insertion into a medullary canal of a second bone portion, and a deployable retention block configured to be transitioned from a first position to a second position. The deployable retention block is configured to maintain the first bone portion in a predetermined position when the deployable retention block is in the second position.
1. A surgical tool, comprising:
a handle body extending substantially on a first longitudinal axis;
a displacement tip coupled to a first end of the handle body, the displacement tip extending substantially parallel to the first longitudinal axis; and
an arm extension extending substantially on a second longitudinal axis, wherein a first end of the arm extension is coupled to the handle body; and
a targeting arm pivotably coupled to a second end of the arm extension by a pivoting connection, the targeting arm defining at least one guide hole extending therethrough,
wherein the targeting arm is configured to be lengthened or shortened to adjust a distance between the handle body and the targeting arm.
2. The surgical tool of claim 1 , wherein the targeting arm comprises a pivoting targeting head including a targeting body defining the at least one guide hole.
3. The surgical tool of claim 2 , wherein the pivoting targeting head is coupled to the targeting arm with a hinge.
4. The surgical tool of claim 1 , wherein the displacement tip is slideably received within a channel defined in the handle body.
5. The surgical tool of claim 1 , wherein the arm extension defines a channel sized and configured to receive a portion of the targeting arm therein.
6. The surgical tool of claim 5 , wherein the channel comprises a closed channel.
7. The surgical tool of claim 1 , wherein the targeting arm comprises:
a first longitudinal portion extending substantially on a third longitudinal axis;
a second longitudinal portion extending substantially on a fourth longitudinal axis; and
a curved portion coupling the first longitudinal portion to the second longitudinal portion.
8. The surgical tool of claim 1 , wherein the arm extension is adjustable to adjust a distance between the handle body and the targeting arm.
