Posterior Tissue Retractor For Use In Hip Replacement Surgery
US Patent:
2009001, Jan 8, 2009
Filed:
Jun 30, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/165242
Inventors:
Hialy Riviera Gutierrez - Menlo Park CA, US
Nicholas Giori - Stanford CA, US
Nicholas Giori - Stanford CA, US
International Classification:
A61B 1/32, A61B 19/00
US Classification:
600201, 128898
Abstract:
The teachings provided herein are generally directed to a posterior retractor comprising a handle section; and, a retraction section having an anchoring element. In most embodiments, the handle section comprises a proximal region, a mid-region, and a distal region. And, the length of the handle section can be sufficient to position a hand-held portion of the proximal region of the handle section outside of a surgical site during use of the posterior retractor in a hip arthroplasty procedure. The teachings include the use of the posterior retractor in a hip arthroplasty procedure.

Self Retaining Acetabular Component Alignment Device For Total Hip Arthroplasty
US Patent:
2008026, Oct 23, 2008
Filed:
Mar 30, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/058719
Inventors:
Nicholas J. Giori - Stanford CA, US
Eric Topp - Palo Alto CA, US
Eric Topp - Palo Alto CA, US
International Classification:
A61F 5/00
US Classification:
606 87
Abstract:
A spring-loaded, self-retaining, clamp like alignment device used to guide the placement of the acetabular component during total hip arthroplasty is disclosed. The device comprises two longitudinal elements: the first longitudinal element has a proximal end with a handle, a groove within and a spring loaded into the groove. The second longitudinal element has a distal end to which an acetabular component is attached and a mid-section that fits into the groove of the first longitudinal element and a proximal end with a knob. When the hook present at the distal end of the first longitudinal element is placed into the sciatic notch in the pelvic bone and the proximal end clipped to the mid-section of the second longitudinal element, the acetabular component at the distal end of the second longitudinal element is consistently positioned in the acetabulum at 45-degree abduction and 20-degree anteversion. While the surgeon impacts the acetabular component into place the spring located in the proximal end of the first longitudinal element maintains the proper alignment of the acetabular component and keeps the deep part of the clamp from injuring structures traversing the sciatic notch.
Method For Improved Rotational Alignment In Joint Arthroplasty
US Patent:
2008024, Oct 9, 2008
Filed:
Apr 3, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/062334
Inventors:
Nicholas Giori - Stanford CA, US

Assignee:
The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University - Stanford CA
International Classification:
A61B 5/00, A61B 17/56
US Classification:
600407, 606102
Abstract:
A method for improved rotational alignment of the bones in joint surgery is described. The method involves the tracking of the relative motion of a third bone in with respect to the movement of the first and second bone. In one aspect of the invention, the motion of the patella is used to derive the axis of rotation of the femoral and tibial components in total knee arthroplasty, either alone or in combination with other techniques.
