Instruments For A Variable Angle Approach To A Joint

US Patent:
2011012, May 26, 2011
Filed:
Nov 19, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/950154
Inventors:
Shaun B. Hanson - West Chester PA, US
Charanpreet S. Bagga - Basking Ridge NJ, US

International Classification:
A61B 17/56
US Classification:
606 96, 606 86 R
Abstract:
Instruments and associated methods are disclosed for treating joints, and particularly bone tissue. One of these instruments may be a positioning instrument for controlled delivery of a device to a target site of the bone tissue being treated. The positioning instrument may comprise a main body extending at one end into an indicator probe for visual determination of a target site of a bone to be treated, and at an opposite end into a handle. A rail extends from the main body. The instrument also includes an alignment guide having a device portal for insertion of a device therethrough, the alignment guide being detachable and movable along a length of the rail. The device may comprise an implant insertion tool, an injection catheter, a cavity creation tool such as a bone drill, for example, or the device may be an implantable device.

Navigation And Positioning Instruments For Joint Repair And Methods Of Use

US Patent:
8617166, Dec 31, 2013
Filed:
Nov 19, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/950061
Inventors:

Assignee:
Zimmer Knee Creations, Inc. - West Chester PA
International Classification:
A61F 2/46
US Classification:
606 86R, 606 88
Abstract:
An instrument for controlled delivery of a device to a target area near a defect of a bone is provided. The instrument comprises a guide frame having a plurality of device portals, each portal defining a trajectory. The guide frame further includes visual markers for aligning the guide frame to an anatomical landmark on the bone to be treated. The instrument also includes a holder for releasable attachment with the guide frame. Each device portal is configured to provide accurate and controlled delivery of the device to the target area. In one example, the markers are radiopaque, and are visualized through fluoroscopy. A method of using the instrument is also provided.
