Abstract:
The present invention relates to a surgical kit, a saw guide and other related tools used in the osteotomy for temporary removal of a piece of a first bone structure to gain temporary access for treatment of defects of a second bone structure, as well as methods for designing and manufacturing said tools

Claim (Index 43):
A surgical method for use in osteotomy and the temporary osteotomic removal of a bone fragment of a tibia for exposing the talus dome for treatment, comprising:\n a. identifying at least one of a bone and a cartilage damage of the talus dome through radiological images; b. planning the size and the location of an osteotomy needed to get access to the talus dome in the treatment of said at least one of a bone and a cartilage damage of the talus; c. creating a virtual 3D model of at least a portion of at least one of the tibial bone and the talus bone from radiological images; d. designing a patient specific osteotomy saw guide based on the 3D model and the size and location of the osteotomy needed; e. positioning and fixing the patient customized saw guide so that the saw guide is conforming and fixable to the lower medial anterior portion of the tibia; f. making a saw cut along the saw guide surface excising a lower medial anterior piece of the tibia; g. removing said lower medial anterior piece, or folding said lower medial anterior piece forward and outward preserving the attachment of medial deltoid ligaments, and exposing the damaged condylar area of the talus dome; h. performing treatment of said at least one of a bone and cartilage damage of the at least one of a bone and a cartilage damage of the talus; and i. replacing said excised lower medial anterior piece of the tibia into its original, or substantially original, position and fixing it in place.
