HINGED FIXATION DEVICES FOR COMBINED UPPER JAW CORRECTION
摘要
Instrumentation and methods are provided for upper jaw correction surgery. The application discloses an orthopedic system that can be used to perform both a first distraction (for example a maxillary distraction) and a second distraction (for example a maxillary expansion) within the same surgical procedure. The instrumentation for separating first and second bone segments can include a first footplate; a second footplate; an actuator arranged to vary a distance between the first and second footplates; and a hinge that rotatably attaches the first and second footplates such that the first and second footplates can be angularly adjusted relative to each other about a pivot axis. Additionally, instrumentation is provided for a hinged fixation device capable of securing and adjusting both the linear separation and angular orientation of bone structures.
