A surgical instrument can include a shaft, an end effector, and an articulation joint configured to permit the end effector to rotate relative to the shaft about the articulation joint. The surgical instrument can further comprise a first articulation actuator for rotating the end effector in a first direction and a second articulation actuator for rotating the end effector in a second direction. The articulation actuators can be configured to push the end effector. The articulation actuators can assume different configurations depending on whether they are experiencing a compressive load or a tensile load. The articulation joint can comprise an articulation frame which forms a proximal joint with the shaft and a distal joint with the end effector. The joints can comprise fixed axis joints and/or ball-and-socket joints, for example. The articulation joint can comprise links having different sizes to facilitate the articulation of the articulation joint.
1. A surgical instrument, comprising: a shaft comprising a shaft frame;an end effector, comprising: an end effector frame; anda jaw movable relative to said end effector frame;an articulation joint, comprising: an articulation frame, comprising: a proximal articulation end; anda distal articulation
1. A surgical instrument, comprising: a shaft comprising a shaft frame;an end effector, comprising: an end effector frame; anda jaw movable relative to said end effector frame;an articulation joint, comprising: an articulation frame, comprising: a proximal articulation end; anda distal articulation end;a first articulation joint connecting said proximal articulation end to said shaft frame; anda second articulation joint connecting said distal articulation end to said end effector frame;a firing system movable relative to said shaft frame, said articulation frame, and said end effector frame, wherein said firing system comprises a cutting member movable relative to said end effector frame; andan articulation wire fixedly attached to said end effector frame, wherein said articulation wire is structured to assume a collapsed configuration when subjected to a threshold compressive load and is configured to transmit an articulation force to said end effector frame when subjected to the threshold compressive load. 2. The surgical instrument of claim 1, further comprising an outer tube movable relative to said articulation joint, wherein said outer tube is configured to move said jaw between an open position and a closed position. 3. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein said articulation wire comprises a first articulation wire fixedly attached to said end effector frame, wherein said first articulation wire is configured to rotate said end effector in a first direction and wherein the surgical instrument further comprises: a second articulation wire fixedly attached to said end effector frame, wherein said second articulation wire is configured to rotate said end effector in a second direction. 4. The surgical instrument of claim 3, wherein said first articulation wire is configured to push said end effector in said first direction, and wherein said second articulation wire is configured to push said end effector in said second direction. 5. The surgical instrument of claim 4, wherein said first articulation wire comprises a first configuration when subjected to a compressive load and a second configuration when subjected to a tensile load. 6. The surgical instrument of claim 5, wherein said articulation frame comprises an articulation wire channel, wherein said first articulation wire extends through said articulation wire channel, and wherein said articulation wire channel is configured to constrain the configuration of said first articulation wire. 7. The surgical instrument of claim 4, wherein said first articulation wire comprises a first coil spring and said second articulation wire comprises a second coil spring. 8. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein said articulation frame comprises a flexneck. 9. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein said first articulation joint comprises a first fixed pivot axis. 10. The surgical instrument of claim 9, wherein said second articulation joint comprises a second fixed pivot axis. 11. The surgical instrument of claim 10, wherein said first pivot axis is parallel to said second fixed pivot axis. 12. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein said first articulation joint comprises a ball-and-socket joint. 13. The surgical instrument of claim 12, wherein said second articulation joint comprises a ball-and-socket joint. 14. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein said articulation frame comprises a rigid spine. 15. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein said end effector comprises a staple cartridge comprising staples removably stored therein, wherein said firing system is configured to eject said staples from said staple cartridge. 16. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein said articulation frame comprises a plurality of frame members including: a plurality of first frame members; anda plurality of second frame members, wherein said first frame members and said second frame members are arranged in an alternating arrangement. 17. The surgical instrument of claim 16, wherein each said first frame member is defined by a first diameter, wherein each said second frame member is defined by a second diameter, and wherein said second diameter is smaller than said first diameter. 18. The surgical instrument of claim 17, wherein each said first frame member comprises a beveled surface which interfaces with a said second frame member.
