Philosophy:
The critical avenue in my practice is diagnosis. Since this process is so important in determinng a pain generator, my philosophy is to perform the history and physical myself. The patients see me every clinic visit. One of my professors told me that is you listen to a patient long enough, they'll tell you what's wrong, and if you listen to them longer, they tell you how to treat them. Studies have shown that a careful history gives the doctor the diagnosis in 80% of cases. That being said, I rely on a multidisciplinary approach to treatment. I utilize a diagnostic injection specialist, therapists in chiropractic, acupuncture or PT and pain psychology who are skilled in their approach. If surgery is necessary, my patients have the benefit of the correct diagnosis, an opportunity to have attempted all non-operative avenues and to have the most precise and minimally invasive surgical (MIS) strategies available anywhere in the country.

Method And Apparatus For Performing Retro Peritoneal Dissection
US Patent:
2011025, Oct 20, 2011
Filed:
Apr 20, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/091024
Inventors:
Jeffrey Kleiner - Aurora CO, US
Jeffrey Adair - Highlands Ranch CO, US
Kevin Wiggins - Denver CO, US

Assignee:
SPINEWINDOW LLC - Denver CO
International Classification:
A61B 1/00
US Classification:
600104
Abstract:
The foregoing application describes a system and method of performing a minimally invasive surgical operation. More specifically, the invention involves the use of disposable cannula and slender dilators of variable lengths, which incorporate a source of illumination to carry light to a surgical site and video capabilities for capturing and displaying images from a CMOS or CCD camera device. According to one embodiment, fiber optics run semi-circumferentially or along walls of the cannula/dilator and terminate at about a centimeter from the distal end of the cannula/dilator, thereby preventing illumination from “bottoming out” at the floor of the incision. According to one alternate embodiment, the light fibers may be fashioned in an annulus around one or more camera chips to provide illumination and video of the surgical site. In still another embodiment, the light fibers may be replaced by light emitting diodes in a more remote light source or alternatively at the distal-tip of the CMOS or CCD camera device.
Fusion Cage With Combined Biological Delivery System
US Patent:
2012013, May 31, 2012
Filed:
Feb 6, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/367295
Inventors:
Jeffrey Kleiner - Aurora CO, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1711
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for near-simultaneous and integrated delivery of bone graft material during the placement of surgical cages or other medical implants in a patient's spine. The integrated fusion cage and graft delivery device according to various embodiments delivers and disperses biologic material through a fusion cage to a disc space and, without withdrawal from the surgical site, may selectably detach the fusion cage for deposit to the same disc space. The integrated fusion cage and graft delivery device is formed such that a hollow tube and plunger selectively and controllably place bone graft material and a fusion cage in or adjacent to the bone graft receiving area.
Tools And Methods For Spinal Fusion
US Patent:
8277510, Oct 2, 2012
Filed:
Oct 20, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/277272
Inventors:
Jeffrey B. Kleiner - Denver CO, US
Assignee:
Kleiner Intellectual Property, LLC - Denver CO
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1716, 623 1711, 606 86 A, 606 99
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a spinal fusion impactor tool that includes an attachment means for securing an implant device to the distal end of the tool, a means for adjusting the angle of the distal head relative to the handle to better position the implant for introduction into the implant site, means for remotely releasing the implant device at the distal end and a clamp device on the shaft of the tool to secure tabs, attachments and other devices. The impactor tool is preferably used in conjunction with implantation of an intervertebral fusion cage that is equipped with shims having tabs or other removing means, but may also be used to introduce, for example, an implant, graft, fusion device, wedge or distractor device into any joint space or bony region in preparation for implantation.

Method And System For Identification Of A Center Of A Vertebral Disc Space And Corresponding Central Axis Of A Spinal Column
US Patent:
2011019, Aug 11, 2011
Filed:
Feb 8, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/023279
Inventors:
Jeffrey B. Kleiner - Aurora CO, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/56
US Classification:
606 86 R
Abstract:
An apparatus for locating a central axis of a spinal column and method of using the same is disclosed. The apparatus and method includes one or more members capable of spanning a center line which may then be identified by at least one additional member positioned therebetween. Furthermore, the device may contain or be capable of accommodating various additional tools for marking the location of the central axis of a spinal column.
Apparatus And Method Of Spinal Implant And Fusion
US Patent:
8366748, Feb 5, 2013
Filed:
Dec 7, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/632720
Inventors:
Jeffrey Kleiner - Aurora CO, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/70
US Classification:
606279
Abstract:
An apparatus and method of performing a minimally invasive posterior spine fusion. More specifically an apparatus with a handle and a forked head on the distal end of the handle is used to grasp implant material and introduce the material to an implant site. The shaft of the apparatus is shaped so as to allow the affixation of a drill guide and drill while simultaneously holding the implant material in the implant site. After removal of the boring tools and assembly of the fusing element, the apparatus can be selectively removed from the implant site. A method of achieving facet joint fusion with near simultaneous fixation is also disclosed.

Surgical Retractor
US Patent:
5895352, Apr 20, 1999
Filed:
Mar 17, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/042882
Inventors:
Jeffrey B. Kleiner - Denver CO
International Classification:
A61B 1702
US Classification:
600206
Abstract:
A medical retractor apparatus that includes a housing assembly and a retractor assembly is provided. The housing assembly includes a retractor body having a proximal end. The retractor assembly includes a retractor element having a tip. The retractor element is extended/retracted relative to the proximal end. The retractor element is extended offset from the center of the proximal end. A guide member with a slot located at the proximal end prevents unacceptable turning of the retractor element. Preferably, the retractor element includes two spaced loops that can be surrounded by a cover member. The retractor element desirably positions a body vessel of at least about 1 cm in diameter during a surgical procedure. The retractor element has sufficient tensile and compressive strengths to position the great vessel, while avoiding unwanted bulging of the great vessel and visual interference during the surgical procedure.
