CABLE BONE TRANSPORT DEVICE

Abstract: a bone transport device may include a first support member, a second support member, a plurality of first rods, a cable, and a plurality of actuator assemblies. the cable may be configured to be received through a first bone segment. the bone transport device may further include a second rod that is configured to extend through the first bone segment such that the cable abuts a portion of the second rod within the first bone segment. the plurality of actuator assemblies may be attached to the first support member or the second support member. each of the plurality of actuator assemblies may include a body, a spool, and an actuator. the actuator may be configured to rotate the spool to wind the cable onto the spool and translate a second bone segment with respect to the first support member and the second support member.
