Bone align and joint preparation device and method
A bone displacement system includes an anchoring portion, a tool engaging portion, a compression distraction mechanism, a lateral body and a distal body. The anchoring portion has an aperture for receiving a wire to connect the anchoring portion to a proximal bone. The anchoring portion is connectable to a downwardly depending member for holding a tissue portion. The tool engaging portion is connected to the anchoring portion and is configured to connect a tool thereto. The compression-distraction mechanism is connected to the anchoring portion. The lateral body is connected to the compression-distraction mechanism and engageable with a lateral bone. The distal body is connected to the compression-distraction mechanism. The distal body has an aperture for receiving a wire to connect the distal body to a distal bone. The compression-distraction mechanism is configured to move the anchoring portion relative to the distal body.
1 . A bone displacement system comprising:
a mobile portion and an arm, such that the mobile portion is movable along the arm;
a movable trolley positioned laterally relative to the mobile portion, the movable trolley comprising a plantar-dorsal adjustment mechanism configured to engage a first metatarsal and configured to adjust a plantar-dorsal position of the first metatarsal relative to the system; and
apertures configured to receive wires to attach the system to bones to accommodate displacement of said first metatarsal.
2 . The system of claim 1 further comprising an anchoring portion having an aperture of the apertures for receiving a wire of the wires to connect the anchoring portion to a proximal bone, said anchoring portion connectable to a downwardly depending member for holding a tissue portion.
3 . The system of claim 1 wherein said plantar-dorsal adjustment mechanism comprises a threaded member received in a threaded receiving portion of said trolley such that said threaded member is rotatable in said receiving portion to apply the vertical force to the first metatarsal.
4 . The system of claim 1 further comprising a lateral body connected to said arm and engageable with a lateral bone.
5 . The system of claim 4 wherein said lateral body comprises a lateral extension mechanism having a lateral holding portion connected to a second-downwardly depending portion and movably connected to a rail to allow said lateral holding portion to move laterally relative to a longitudinal axis of said arm.
6 . The system of claim 5 wherein said lateral extension mechanism comprises a screw engaging the rail and the lateral holding portion to allow movement of the lateral holding portion and the lateral bone relative to the first metatarsal when a user drives said screw, the trolley is configured to be connected to the first metatarsal, and the downwardly depending member configured to engage the lateral bone.
7 . The system of claim 1 further comprising a lateral body connected to the arm, the lateral body comprising a lateral holding portion moveably engaged with a rail and the rail having a rail longitudinal axis, the arm having an arm longitudinal axis, said rail longitudinal axis and said arm longitudinal axis being angled at less than perpendicular to each other.
8 . A method for use in bone displacement, comprising:
receiving a wire in an aperture of a bone displacement system to connect the bone displacement system to a bone;
moving a mobile portion along an arm of the system; and
engaging a plantar-dorsal adjustment mechanism of a movable trolley with a first metatarsal and adjusting a plantar-dorsal position of the first metatarsal relative to the system, the movable trolley positioned laterally relative to the mobile portion.
9 . The method of claim 8 further comprising moving a lateral extension mechanism connected to the arm laterally wherein the lateral extension mechanism comprises a receiving cavity.
10 . The method of claim 9 further comprising locating a paddle in the receiving cavity and abutting a side of a second metatarsal with the paddle.
11 . The method of claim 8 further connecting a downwardly depending member to an anchoring portion of the bone displacement system and holding a tissue portion away from a joint between a proximal bone and the first metatarsal of the foot by the downwardly depending member.
12 . The method of claim 8 wherein the plantar-dorsal adjustment mechanism comprises a threaded member received in a threaded receiving portion of the trolley and wherein the adjusting comprises rotating the threaded member in the receiving portion to apply a vertical force to the first metatarsal to adjust the first metatarsal relative to a proximal bone of the foot.
13 . The method of claim 8 further comprising connecting a downwardly depending portion to a lateral body connected to the arm to contact a lateral bone located lateral to the first metarsal.
14 . The method of claim 13 wherein the lateral body comprises a lateral extension mechanism having a lateral holding portion connected to the downwardly depending portion and movably connected to a rail to allow the lateral holding portion to move laterally relative to a longitudinal axis of a compression-distraction mechanism connected to the trolley.
15 . The method of claim 14 further comprising driving a screw engaging the rail to move the lateral holding portion to move the downwardly depending portion to move the lateral bone relative to the first metatarsal.
16 . The method of claim 14 further comprising extending a second wire through a second aperture of the plantar-dorsal adjustment mechanism to connect the trolley to the first metatarsal.
