Zusammenfassung:Provided herein is an adjustable implant configured to non-invasively guide bone growth in a patient. The adjustable implant includes a first portion (102; 202; 302) configured to couple to a first bone segment and a second portion (104; 204; 304) at least partially disposed within the first portion (102; 202; 302) and configured to couple to a second bone segment. The adjustable implant includes a drive assembly (110; 210; 310) configured to be transcutaneously actuated, and to drive rotation of a gear assembly (120; 220; 320) configured to rotate about a first axis (A1), and drive axial translation of the second portion (104; 204; 304) along a second axis (A2). Non-invasive actuation of the drive assembly (110; 210; 310) therefore causes the adjustable implant to distract or retract along the second axis (A2).
