SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR CREATING CURVILINEAR TUNNELS IN BONE

A device for creating curvilinear tunnels in a bone is provided, wherein the device can comprise a housing having a distal end configured to interface with a surface of the bone; an impactor at least partially disposed within the housing, wherein the impactor is configured to be inserted into the bone and to create a curvilinear tunnel, and wherein the impactor comprises a rigid material and a curved geometry; an inner channel disposed within the housing and configured to guide the impactor into the bone; and an actuator comprising a propulsion mechanism configured to move the impactor. La présente invention concerne des systèmes, des dispositifs et des méthodes de création de tunnels osseux. En particulier, l'invention, selon certains modes de réalisation, concerne des dispositifs de tunnellisation osseuse conçus pour créer des tunnels curvilignes dans un os, ainsi que des méthodes et des dispositifs qui leur sont associés.
