==INSTRUMENTATION AND METHODS FOR TOTAL ANKLE ARTHROPLASTY - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240023980 titled 'INSTRUMENTATION AND METHODS FOR TOTAL ANKLE ARTHROPLASTY

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a surgical guide that consists of a front portion and a rear portion, with at least one cut slot extending from the front to the rear. The cut slot allows for a range of motion beyond the lateral dimensions of the slot. An alternative surgical guide is also mentioned, which has a front surface and a rear surface connected by at least one cut slot that provides fluid communication between them. The cut slot has edges that define a vertical and horizontal range of motion for a first depth, as well as bounds that define a horizontal range of motion for a second depth of the slot.

* The surgical guide includes a front and rear portion with at least one cut slot.
* The cut slot allows for a range of motion beyond its lateral dimensions.
* An alternative surgical guide has a front and rear surface connected by at least one cut slot.
* The cut slot provides fluid communication between the front and rear surfaces.
* The cut slot has edges that define a range of motion for a first depth.
* The cut slot also has bounds that define a range of motion for a second depth.

== Potential Applications ==
* Surgical procedures requiring precise cutting and guiding.
* Orthopedic surgeries involving bone cutting and shaping.
* Dental procedures involving precise incisions and drilling.

== Problems Solved ==
* Provides a guide for surgeons to make accurate and controlled cuts.
* Allows for a wider range of motion during surgical procedures.
* Enhances precision and reduces the risk of errors during surgery.

== Benefits ==
* Improved surgical outcomes with greater accuracy.
* Reduced risk of complications and post-operative issues.
* Increased efficiency and speed during surgical procedures.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a surgical guide that includes a front portion and a rear portion that is opposite the front portion, and at least one cut slot extending from the front portion to the rear portion. the at least one cut slot defines a vertical and a horizontal range of motion that extends beyond the lateral dimensions of the at least one cut slot. an alternative surgical guide is disclosed that has a front portion with a front surface and a rear portion that has a rear surface. the surgical guide includes at least one cut slot extending from the front surface to the rear surface which provides fluid communication therebetween. the at least one cut slot has edges defining a vertical and horizontal range of motion for a first depth has bounds defining a horizontal range of motion for a second depth of the at least one cut slot.
