Abstract:
Implants, devices, instruments, systems and methods for correcting bone deformities in the extremities are disclosed. Specifically, implants, devices, instruments, systems and methods used for hammertoe procedures are disclosed. The implant insertion system including an insertion instrument and an implant. The insertion instrument including a first end, a second end, and an opening extending into the insertion instrument from the second end. The implant including a first portion at a first end, a second portion at a second end, and an intermediate portion coupling the first portion to the second portion. The first portion being received within the opening of the insertion instrument.

Claim (Index 18):
A method for inserting an implant into a first phalange and a second adjacent phalange so as to fuse the first phalange to the second phalange, said method comprising:\n providing an implant, the implant comprising:\n an elongated cylindrical member, the elongated cylindrical member including a first end, a second end and an outer surface extending between the first end and the second end, wherein a first circumferential recess is formed in the outer surface proximate the first end and a second circumferential recess is formed in the outer surface proximate the second end; \n a first band of plasma sprayed material disposed within the first recess and protruding radially outward beyond the outer surface of said elongated cylindrical member; and \n a second band of plasma sprayed material disposed within the second recess and protruding radially outward beyond the outer surface of said elongated cylindrical member; \n inserting the first end of said elongated cylindrical member and at least a portion of the first band of plasma sprayed material of said implant into a bore formed in a distal end of the first phalange; inserting the second end of said elongated cylindrical member and at least a portion of the second band of plasma sprayed material of said implant into a bore formed in a distal end of the second phalange.
