A surgical apparatus that makes possible the replacement of ankle tissue between the bottom of the tibia and the adjoining top of the talus bone comprises: (a) a base having primary and secondary anchoring holes that extend through the base and through which anchoring pins may be extended for anchoring withh the tibia, anchoring holes having adjoining and cooperating, threaded, set screw holes and set screws that cooperate to assist in fixing the position of the base relative to the anchoring pins and the tibia, (b) a surgical blade positioning shelf, the front surface of the shelf configured to approximate the curvature observable in the top portion of the talus and the rear surface of the shelf having attached to it a shaft which may slide in and out from an opening in the front surface of the base, and (c) indicia attached to the shaft which allows one to record the position of the front surface of the surgical blade positioning shelf relative to the base.

Materials and Methods for immobilizing bioactive molecules, stem and other precursor cells, and other agents of therapeutic value in surgical sutures and other tissue scaffold devices are described herein. Broadly drawn to the integration and incorporation of bioactive materials into suture constructs, tissue scaffolds and medical devices, the present invention has particular utility in the development of novel systems that enable medical personnel performing surgical and other medical procedures to utilize and subsequently reintroduce bioactive materials extracted from a patient (or their allogenic equivalents) to a wound or target surgical site.

A method according to embodiments of the present invention for repairing an Achilles tendon that has completely or partially ruptured leaving a distal stump extending from a calcaneus and a proximal stump, the proximal stump having a proximal stump end, and the distal stump having a distal stump end, includes attaching a first suture to the distal stump, positioning an augmentation patch against an anterior portion of the Achilles tendon, attaching a second suture to the proximal stump and to the augmentation patch, apposing the proximal stump end and the distal stump end such that a gap between the proximal stump end and distal stump end is minimized or eliminated, joining the first suture with the second suture to secure the proximal stump to the distal stump, and attaching the augmentation patch to the calcaneus.

A device and method for treating a foot and ankle with a splint and an adjustable bladder. The method includes providing a device including a rigid splint that maintains a heel of the foot and at least one adjustable bladder provided underneath only a front of the foot; adjusting an inflation of the at least one bladder to a treatment inflation state; and maintaining a foot and ankle within the device for an extended period of time such that the foot and ankle are substantially immobilized in a dorsiflexion position or the foot and ankle are substantially immobilized in a position whereby plantarflexion is provided to the ankle.

A plate includes a substantially rectilinear posterior tab and an anterior tab. The anterior tab includes a substantially rectilinear rear longitudinal part connected rigidly to the posterior tab such that they form between them a first angle of between about 90° and about 110° and a substantially rectilinear front longitudinal part which is inclined with respect to the substantially rectilinear rear longitudinal part such that they form between them a second angle which is between about 230° and about 250°. The second angle is at the same angular orientation as the first angle. The plate is thus shaped appropriately in relation to the calcaneus and can be placed in position in a minimally invasive manner.

According to a first embodiment of our invention, a monitoring device is placed above, within, or on the bottom of a cast, boot, shoe, or other lower extremity immobilization or protective device, and has one or more single or cluster of pressure sensitive chambers designed to burst at a predetermined force or weight. The pressure sensitive chambers may be filled with air, liquid, semi-liquid, or particulate material. Once properly positioned, the device serves to detect and alert one or more individuals to the fact that weight-bearing has occurred and/or that a certain amount of force has been transmitted across the bottom or other portion of the cast, boot, shoe, mat, sock, insole, or lower extremity immobilization or protective device in a setting where such pressure could be deleterious or harmful (including situations where patients are recovering from a bony fracture, tendon injury, and recent lower extremity surgery).
