Abstract
A bone disunion instrument system may include a first bone pin, a second bone pin, and a guide block. The guide block may include first and second bone pin holes to receive the first and second bone pins, and a window intermediate the first and second bone pin holes. The first bone pin may be anchored in a first bone portion and inserted through the first bone pin hole, and the second bone pin may be anchored in a second bone portion and inserted through the second bone pin hole to impart a compression or distraction force on a bone disunion between the first and second bone portions. The window formed through the guide block may provide access for an implant placed through the window to stabilize the bone disunion while the bone disunion is placed under a compression or distraction force.
