Title:
SUBTALAR JOINT PROSTHESIS AND INSTALLATION DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/022665
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A first implant (102) may be configured for attachment to a talus bone (101). A second implant (106) may be configured for attachment to a calcaneus bone (105). The first implant (102) attached to the talus bone (101) can move in relation to the second implant (106) attached to the calcaneus bone (105). A sheet (104) can be disposed between the first implant (102) and the second implant (106) to facilitate relative motion between the first implant (102) and the second implant (106). The sheet (104) may provide a curvilinear surface (1 18) that engages a curvilinear surface (1 14) of the first implant (102) or a curvilinear surface of the second implant (106) to facilitate the relative motion. A set of tools (144) may be used to distract the talus bone (101) from the calcaneus (105), which may be used for insertion of the implants (102, 106).
