Abstract

Osteotomy systems, devices, and methods for using the osteotomy systems are disclosed. The osteotomy system including an alignment device, at least one k-wire for insertion into the alignment device, and a cut guide with at least one hole for receiving at least one k-wire and a slot for receiving a saw blade. An osteotomy kit including an alignment device, cut guide, and position rotation device. The alignment device, cut guide, position rotation device, and bone plate are also disclosed. Finally, a method for fusing bones using the osteotomy system is also disclosed.

Claims (76)

1 . An osteotomy system, comprising:

an alignment device;

at least one first k-wire for insertion into the alignment device; and

a cut guide with at least one hole for receiving at least one second k-wire and a slot for receiving a saw blade.

2 . The osteotomy system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a position rotation device with a plurality of openings for receiving at least one third k-wire.

3 . The osteotomy system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a bone plate; and

a compression screw alignment guide removeably coupled to the bone plate.

4 . The osteotomy system of claim 1 , wherein the alignment device comprises:

a base with a top surface and a bottom surface;

a shaft coupled to the top surface of the base and extending away from the base; and

at least one angled opening extending through the base from the top surface to the bottom surface.

5 . The osteotomy system of claim 4 , wherein the at least one angled opening includes at least one angled opening with a zero degree angle.

6 . The osteotomy system of claim 4 , wherein the at least one angled opening includes at least one angled opening with an angle greater than zero degrees.

7 . The osteotomy system of claim 1 , wherein the cut guide comprises:

a proximal end;

a distal end opposite the proximal end;

an extension member extending from the cut guide on the distal end;

at least one opening positioned adjacent to the proximal end; and

at least one cutting slot positioned between the distal end and the at least one opening.

8 . The osteotomy system of claim 1 , wherein the cut guide comprises:

a top surface;

a bottom surface opposite the top surface;

a securement opening positioned at a first end of the cut guide and extending through the cut guide from the top surface to the bottom surface;

at least one opening positioned at a second end of the cut guide and extending through the cut guide from a top surface to a bottom surface; and

a cutting slot positioned between the first end and the second end and extending through the cut guide from a top surface to a bottom surface.

9 . The osteotomy system of claim 2 , wherein the position rotation device comprises:

a base with a first end and a second end, wherein the base is curved from the first end to the second end;

at least one angle opening extending through the base; and

a shaft coupled to the top surface of the base and extending away from the base.

10 . The osteotomy system of claim 3 , wherein the bone plate comprises:

a first portion;

a second portion coupled to the first portion;

at least one first opening positioned in the first portion;

at least one second opening position in the second portion; and

wherein the second portion is curved as it extends away from the first portion.

11 . A bone plate, comprising:

a first portion extending from a first end of the bone plate towards a second end;

a second portion extending from the second end of the bone plate towards the first end;

at least one opening extending through the bone plate from a top surface to a bone contacting surface;

a first lobe extending away from a first side of the bone plate; and

a second lobe extending away from a second side of the bone plate.

12 . A surgical method, comprising:

inserting a first k-wire into a bone;

sliding an alignment device over the first k-wire and into contact with the bone;

inserting a second k-wire through the alignment device and into the bone that corresponds to a rotation angle;

removing the first k-wire and the alignment device;

determining a hole in a cut guide that corresponds to an osteotomy cut angle;

positioning the cut guide on the bone and inserting a third k-wire into a distal end of the cut guide;

guiding a saw through the cut guide and cutting the bone to form an osteotomy site;

removing the cut guide;

rotating the distal end of the bone with respect to the proximal end to a desired angle of rotation; and

securing the rotated bone.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein inserting the first k-wire into the bone comprises:

determining a point of insertion for the first k-wire;

positioning the foot relative to a foot plate guide; and

inserting the first k-wire through a k-wire guide of the foot plate guide perpendicular to the long axis of the bone.

14 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

completing the cut through the bone after removing the cut guide.

15 . The method of claim 12 , wherein rotating the distal end of the bone with respect to the proximal end to the desired angle of rotation comprises:

obtaining a position rotation device;

sliding the position rotation device over the third k-wire and into contact with the bone;

inserting a fourth k-wire into an opening corresponding to the rotation angle;

removing the third k-wire and the position rotation device; and

rotating the distal end and proximal end of the bone to the desired angle of rotation.

16 . The method of claim 12 , wherein securing the rotated bone comprises:

coupling an alignment guide to a plate;

positioning the plate over the osteotomy site; and

securing the plate to the bone.

17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein securing the plate to the bone comprises:

inserting at least two bone fasteners through the plate and into the bone; and

inserting a cross-screw across the osteotomy site.

18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the at least two bone fasteners are inserted before the cross-screw.

19 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the cross-screw is inserted before the at least two bone fasteners.

20 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the cross-screw is inserted using the alignment guide.
