View Edit Delete	PER-17	"Epiphyses" refers to the rounded end of a long bone, at long bone's joint with adjacent bone(s). Between the epiphysis and diaphysis (the long midsection of the long bone) lies the metaphysis, including the epiphyseal plate (growth plate). At the joint, the epiphysis is covered with articular cartilage; below that covering is a zone similar to the epiphyseal plate, known as subchondral bone. (Search 'epiphysis' on Wikipedia.com 17 June 2022. Modified. Accessed Aug. 1, 2022.) "Metaphysis" refers to the neck portion of a long bone between the epiphysis and the diaphysis. The metaphysis contains the growth plate, the part of the bone that grows during childhood, and as the metaphysis grows the metaphysis ossifies near the diaphysis and the epiphyses. (Search 'metaphysis' on Wikipedia.com 17 June 2022. Modified. Accessed Aug. 1, 2022.) "Diaphysis" refers to the main or midsection (shaft) of a long bone. The diaphysis is made up of cortical bone and usually contains bone marrow and adipose tissue (fat). The diaphysis is a middle tubular part composed of compact bone which surrounds a central marrow cavity which contains red or yellow marrow. In diaphysis, primary ossification occurs.

View Edit Delete	PER-17	"Metaphyseal Diaphyseal Junction" or "MDJ" refers to an area of a long bone between the Metaphysis and the Diaphysis. This area can also include or be referred to as the epiphyseal plate (growth) plate. For certain surgical procedures, performing an osteotomy at or near the metaphyseal diaphyseal junction may be advantageous and desirable to promote rapid fusion of two cut faces formed in the osteotomy and bone growth to close the osteotomy, and / or may mitigate the risk of a nonunion of the osteotomy.	56	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:05 PM
View Edit Delete	PER-17	As used herein, a "base" refers to a main or central structure, component, or part of a structure. A base is often a structure, component, or part upon which, or from which other structures extend into, out of, away from, are coupled to, or connect to. A base may have a variety of geometric shapes and configurations. A base may be rigid or pliable. A base may be solid or hollow. A base can have any number of sides. In one embodiment, a base may include a housing, frame, or framework for a larger system, component, structure, or device. In certain embodiments, a base can be a part at the bottom or underneath a structure designed to extend vertically when the structure is in a desired configuration or position. Certain bones such as a metatarsal bone can include a base as one structural component of the bone.	57	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:05 PM
View Edit Delete	PER-17	As used herein, "anatomic data" refers to data identified, used, collected, gathered, and/or generated in connection with an anatomy of a human or animal. Examples of anatomic data may include location data for structures, both independent, and those connected to other structures within a coordinate system. Anatomic data may also include data that labels or identifies one or more anatomical structures. Anatomic data can include volumetric data, material composition data, and/or the like. Anatomic data can be generated based on medical imaging data or measurements using a variety of instruments including monitors and/or sensors. Anatomic data can be gathered, measured, or collected from anatomical models and/or can be used to generate, manipulate, or modify anatomical models.	58	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:05 PM
View Edit Delete	PER-17	A bone model or anatomic model of a patient’s body or body part(s) may be generated by computing devices that analyze medical imaging images. Structures of a patient’s body can be determined using a process called segmentation.	59	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:05 PM
View Edit Delete	PER-17	"Positioner" or "positioning guide" refers to any structure, apparatus, surface, device, system, feature, or aspect configured to position, move, translate, manipulate, or arrange one object in relation to another. In certain embodiments, a positioner can be used for one step in surgical procedure to position, arrange, orient, and/or reduce one bone or bone fragment relative to another. In such embodiments, the positioner may be referred to as a bone positioner. In certain embodiments, the term positioner or positioning guide may be preceded by an adjective that identifies the structure, implement, component, or instrument that may be used with, positioned by, and/or guided by with the positioner. For example, a “pin positioner” may be configured to accept a pin or wire such as a K-wire and serve to position or place the pin relative to another structure such as a bone.	60	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:05 PM
View Edit Delete	PER-17	"Reduction guide" or "reducer" refers to any structure, apparatus, surface, device, system, feature, or aspect configured, designed, engineered, or fabricated to reduce or aide a user in the reduction of one bone or bone fragment or implant in relation to another bone or bone fragment or implant.	61	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:05 PM
View Edit Delete	PER-17	"Rotation guide" or "rotator" refers to any structure, apparatus, surface, device, system, feature, or aspect configured, designed, engineered, or fabricated to rotate or aid a user in the rotation of one structure relative to another structure. In certain embodiments, a rotation guide or rotator may be used to help a surgeon rotate one or more bones, parts of bones, bone fragment, an implant, or other anatomical structure, either alone or in relation to another one or more bones, parts of bones, bone fragments, implants, or other anatomical structures.	62	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:05 PM
View Edit Delete	PER-17	"Trajectory guide" or "trajectory indicator" or "targeting guide" refers to any structure, apparatus, surface, device, system, feature, or aspect configured to indicate, identify, guide, place, position, or otherwise assist in marking or deploying a fastener or other structure along a desired trajectory for one or more subsequent steps in a procedure.	63	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:05 PM
