An intramedullary bone fixation device is disclosed herein. The device includes a first longitudinally extending member, a second longitudinally extending member, and a coupling member. The first longitudinally extending member includes a connector end and a bone engagement end opposite the connector end. The second longitudinally extending member includes a connector end and a bone engagement end opposite the connector end. The coupling member is configured to engage the connector ends of the respective longitudinally extending members, thereby coupling the first longitudinally extending member to the second longitudinally extending member. The device may be provided in an kit form at least partially unassembled. The device may be delivered into a fracture and fully assembled within the fracture or adjacent bone via percutaneous or minimally invasive surgical procedures. The device, on account of its configuration and assembly, may be considered modular in some cases.

A retractor instrument for minimally invasive surgery may include a housing with a longitudinal axis, an arm extending from a distal end of the housing, and an actuation mechanism, wherein actuation of the actuation mechanism causes radial expansion of the arm relative to the longitudinal axis. The device may be adapted for use with an endoscope or arthroscope or may be an integral part of one such scope. A method of performing surgery in constrained areas within the body is also included and may be applicable to the carpal tunnel of a wrist and palm or the cubital tunnel of an elbow.

An system for reducing a fracture in an vertebral body is disclosed herein. The system may include incremental implant elements and a delivery device. The incremental implant elements are configured for percutaneous delivery into, and accumulation within, a volume of the vertebral body. The delivery device is configured to percutaneously deliver the incremental implant elements into the volume of the vertebra body in an incremental fashion. As the incremental implant elements are incrementally delivered into the volume of the vertebra body, the accumulation of the incremental members in the volume of the vertebra body places the fracture in the vertebra body in a reduced state.
