A construct for fusing a joint between a proximal bone and a distal bone comprises a plate body having a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal and distal ends; a rigid joint bridge on the plate body intermediate the proximal and distal ends, the bridge separating the plate body between a proximal bone portion and a distal bone portion; a plurality of screw receiving holes extending through the proximal bone portion of the plate, the distal most pair of the holes defining a first transverse axis at an oblique angle relative the longitudinal axis; a plurality of screw receiving holes extending through the distal bone portion of the plate, the proximal most pair of the holes defining a second transverse axis at an oblique angle relative the longitudinal axis; a plurality of screws extending through the holes and attaching the plate body to the proximal and distal bones; and a joint screw traversing the joint between the first and second transverse axes.

In order to position an ankle prosthesis including a tibial implant and a talus implant provided with a talo-calcaneal anchoring keel, the invention proposes a surgical instrumentation assembly including: a tibial phantom () of the tibial implant, adapted so as to be attached to the tibia (T) of a patient, and an aiming guide () adapted for setting into place an instrumentation element () through the talus (A) and the calcaneus (C) of the patient, along an axis (Z-Z) for implanting the talo-calcaneal anchoring keel, the tibial phantom and the aiming guide mechanically cooperating with each other to restrict movement of the tibial phantom and the aiming guide relative to each other along vertical and medio-lateral directions, wherein the aiming guide is configured to guide placement of the instrumentation element.

A foot/ankle implant anatomically-shaped for implantation between two bone portions of the foot or ankle to correct associated deformities. The foot/ankle implant has a peripheral wall surrounding a central bore therethrough and defining an annular cross-section. The wall is constructed from a composite material that includes a ceramic component and a polymer component. The ceramic component is gradually resorbed after implantation, and the polymeric component gradually degrades after implantation.

An implant having alignment indicia is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the implant is generally elongated and comprises a first end portion and a second end portion with a plurality of fixation holes formed therein. The first end portion is configured for attachment to a bone on a first side of an anatomical feature found in the patient's body. The second end portion is configured for attachment to a bone on a second side of the anatomical feature. The implant further comprises a contoured perimeter. Alignment indicia are formed in the perimeter between the first end portion and the second end portion. The alignment indicia are configured to indicate proper positioning of the bone plate on the at least one bone with respect to the anatomical feature. The alignment indicia may comprise, for example, protrusions or indentations formed in the perimeter of the bone plate.

An implant for lengthening the lateral column of the foot is configured for engagement across the calcaneocuboid joint or across a space formed between two bone segments of the calcaneus bone. The implant includes a plate configured positioning on the bone segments and includes an array of screw holes at its opposite ends arranged for solid fixation to the corresponding bone using bone screws. The implant includes a wedge projecting from the bone engaging surface of the plate. The wedge has a width that is tapered toward the plantar aspect and toward the medial aspect of the foot.

A foot/ankle implant and associated method. The foot/ankle implant comprises a composite structure having a ceramic component with a macroprosity and a polymer component filling the macroporosity. The composite structure forms an anatomically-shaped and load-bearing graft for implantation between two bone portions of the foot or ankle to correct associated deformities. The ceramic component is gradually resorbable after implantation, and the composite structure is gradually replaceable by tissue/bone ingrowth.

A fixation plate for use in fusion of the metatarsal-phalangeal joint includes a distal portion configured to engage the metatarsus bone and a proximal portion configured to engage the phalanx bone. The distal portion is elongated with several screw defined therethrough along a longitudinal axis passing through the portion. The proximal portion includes a plurality of screw holes that are all offset relative to each other along axes parallel and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. No more than one of the screw holes in the proximal portion is aligned with the longitudinal axis. The fixation plate is contoured to cup the bones of the MTP joint. The plate may include an intermediate portion that is bent at a pre-determined dorsi-flexion angle.
