System and method for facilitating osteotomy of the pelvic

Abstract

A surgical implant system includes a surgical implant and at least one fixation device. The surgical implant includes a first side member, a second side member, a distal member and a proximal member. The first side member is disposed in opposed relation relative to the second side member, the first and second side members including distal and proximal ends. The distal member is disposed in opposed, spaced relation relative to the proximal member. The distal member extends across one end of the surgical implant between the first and second side member connecting distal ends of the first and second side members. The proximal member extends across a second end of the surgical implant connecting the proximal ends of the first and second side members. The fixation device is inserted in and advanced through osseous tissue and traverses the openings of the first and second side members.

 a distal member including a right end and a left end, interconnecting the first side member and the second side member, the right end connecting to the first side member distal end and the left end connecting to the second side member distal end; and, 
   a fixation device, the fixation device insertable through the at least one first opening and the at least one second opening.   
     
     
         2 . The surgical implant assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a top member and;   a bottom member disposed in opposed, spaced relation relative to the top member, the top and bottom members are interconnected through their parameter by the first side member, the second side member, the distal member and the proximal member.   
     
     
         3 . The surgical implant assembly of  claim 2 , wherein the top member and/or the bottom member are non-planar. 
     
     
         4 . The surgical implant assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one first opening is disposed in opposed relation relative to and aligned with the at least one second opening. 
     
     
         5 . The surgical implant assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a bone plate including:
 an elongate body extending between a first end portion and a second end portion, the elongate body positioned adjacent the proximal member of the surgical implant. 
   
     
     
         6 . The surgical implant assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the surgical implant further comprises:
 a first curved proximal portion at the proximal end of the first side member; and,   a second curved proximal portion at the proximal end of the second side member,   wherein the first end and second end portions of the bone plate when positioned adjacent to the surgical implant conform to shape of the first curved proximal portion and the second curved proximal portion.   
     
     
         7 . The surgical implant assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the surgical implant has generally a trapezoidal shape including a first angle defined between the distal end of the first side member and the right end of the distal member, and, a second angle defined between the distal end of the second side member and the left end of the distal member. 
     
     
         8 . The surgical implant assembly of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 a second fixation device for stabilizing and compressing osseous tissue, the second fixation device traverses a space created upon installing the surgical implant.   
     
     
         9 . The surgical implant assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the first and second angles are equal. 
     
     
         10 . The surgical implant assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the first and second angles are different. 
     
     
         11 . The surgical implant assembly of  claim 9 , wherein the first and second angles are from about 90° to about 135°. 
     
     
         12 . The surgical implant assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the first side member and/or the second side member are non-planar. 
     
     
         13 . The surgical implant assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the first side member and/or the second side member have variable widths along their lengths. 
     
     
         14 . The surgical implant assembly of  claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the first and second side members has a textured finish. 
     
     
         15 . The surgical implant assembly of  claim 1 , comprising multiple surgical implants, wherein the surgical implants are stackable, each of the multiple surgical implants comprising:
 at least one connection means for connecting the surgical implant to an adjacent surgical implant in a stack of surgical implants.   
     
     
         16 . A method of implanting a surgical implant into an osseous tissue comprising:
 forming an opening in the osseous tissue;   inserting a surgical implant into the opening of the osseous tissue, the surgical implant comprising:
 a first side member, including at least one first opening, a first side member distal end and a first side member proximal end; 
 a second side member, including at least one second opening, a second side member distal end and a second side member proximal end, the second side member disposed in opposed relation relative to the first side member; and, 
 a distal member including a right end and a left end, interconnecting the first side member and the second side member, the right end connecting to the first side member distal end and the left end connecting to the second side member distal end; and, 
   inserting at least one fixation device through the at least one first opening and the at least one second opening to anchor the surgical implant to the osseous tissue.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising:
