A cutting device is provided for making subcutaneous incisions. The cutting device has a housing forming a handle. A tubular blade sub-assembly extends from the housing. A trocar passes through the tubular blade sub-assembly and is configured to be positioned in a first active position, with a tip of the trocar extending beyond the end of the tubular blade sub-assembly and a second retracted position where the tip of the trocar is held within the end of tubular blade sub-assembly.

Systems and methods according to the present invention provide a means for determining, as an example, the health or location of nerves. A determination according to the present invention may include semi-quantitative threshold testing using intra-operative electrical stimulation to determine whether one or more nerves are functioning as expected. A determination according to the present invention may also be utilized to determine or predict the success of a surgical procedure that may affect the functioning of one or more nerves. Semi-quantitative analysis may be performed by comparing electrical stimulation intensity, or an approximation thereof, at which a threshold neural response is observed to an expected or previously applied electrical stimulation intensity, or an approximation thereof.

Improved assemblies, systems, and methods provide safeguarding against tissue injury during surgical procedures and/or identify nerve damage occurring prior to surgery and/or verify range of motion or attributes of muscle contraction during reconstructive surgery. Embodiments of methods according to the present invention provide the ability to intra-operatively simulate post-operative physiologic function of a body part. Such methods may be used during various surgical procedures, including tendon transfer procedures. Included are one or more steps of confirming paralysis or a weakened condition of a body part, confirming responsivity or operability of transfer tissue to supplement the functionality of the paralyzed or weakened part, and intra-operatively simulating post-operative functionality of the transfer tissue to enhance and/or predict the outcome of the surgical procedure.

Improved assemblies, systems, and methods provide safeguarding against tissue injury during surgical procedures and/or identify nerve damage occurring prior to surgery and/or verify range of motion or attributes of muscle contraction during reconstructive surgery. Such improved assemblies may be utilized in embodiments of methods according to the present invention allowing, preferably by a single hand, manipulation, carrying, parameter adjustment and/or informational feedback generation from within a surgical field. Single-handed operation and easily identifiable feedback generation is desirable especially where focused attention is required, such as during surgery observed through a microscope.

Systems and methods according to the present invention provide a means for determining, as an example, the health or location of nerves. Generally, embodiments according to the present invention may be used to verify the absence of nerve tissue along a prospective incision location to avoid damage caused by such incision. Alternatively or additionally, embodiments according to the present invention may be used to locate and/or hone in on a more precise location of one or more nerves. Electrical stimulation may be applied to tissue in an iterative fashion in one or more desired patterns and at one or more stimulation intensities to determine one or more regional neural responses and one or more focused neural responses.

A fixation plate for fixing the position of a fractured bone is provided. The fixation plate includes an elongated rigid plate having a plurality of first apertures spaced along the length of the plate. The first apertures are arranged and sized to receive threaded fasteners for fastening the plate to the bone on both sides of the fracture. The fixation plate also includes a plurality of second apertures spaced along the length of the plate. The second apertures, which are smaller than the first apertures, are arranged and sized to receive tacks to temporarily attach the plate to the bone on both sides of the fracture.

A protective device for mitigating the risks and hazards of fractures and injuries to the wrist and forearm that is intended to be utilized by individuals who participate in skating activities or other sports played on hard surfaces. The device has semi-rigid splint members which are fastened above and below the wearer's forearm and extend from the palm area of the hand longitudinally along the forearm toward the elbow. The palm area of the device includes an arched portion of the splint member which defines a space for containing a shock absorber which cushions the impact of a fall, thereby alleviating the extent of injury to the wrist and forearm areas. The palm area also includes a spring for transmitting the force of a fall along the extremity of the forearm splint members and the palmar portion of the protective device. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, splint members which lie along the palmar of the forearm slide relative to each other for additional impact and injury mitigation.
