Acl Prosthesis And Anchor Therefor
US Patent:
2011031, Dec 29, 2011
Filed:
Apr 21, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/107070
Inventors:
Slobodan Tepic - Zurich, CH
Randall Acker - Ketchum ID, US
Randall Acker - Ketchum ID, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/08
US Classification:
623 1314, 623 1311
Abstract:
An interarticular ligament prosthesis is formed from a plurality of high strength high modulus polymeric fibers. The fibers are independent and free from intrinsic inter-fiber shear coupling found in braided or bonded fibers. The ligament prosthesis is installed with tubular, bone screw anchors. The fibers of the ligament prosthesis pass through the central hole of the anchors and are knotted at one end. The exit holes of the anchors include ceramic eyelets with polished edges. The edges are rounded to a defined radius for desired fatigue life of the prosthesis.
Retaining Member For A Joint Prosthesis
US Patent:
2012005, Mar 1, 2012
Filed:
Sep 15, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/233485
Inventors:
Randall Lane Acker - Ketchum ID, US
Gregory Thomas Van Der Meulen - Ketchum ID, US
Gregory Thomas Van Der Meulen - Ketchum ID, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/30
US Classification:
623 1811
Abstract:
A novel and improved retaining member can be used with a joint prosthesis which may be implanted with a minimally invasive surgical technique. The retaining member can be configured to releasably link together two or more components of a joint implant in an orientation suitable for implantation. The retaining member can be removed once the joint implant has been positioned within the implant site.
Methods For Implanting A Joint Prosthesis
US Patent:
8430931, Apr 30, 2013
Filed:
Jul 28, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/193230
Inventors:
Randall Lane Acker - Ketchum ID, US
Gregory Thomas Van Der Meulen - Ketchum ID, US
Gregory Thomas Van Der Meulen - Ketchum ID, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/38
US Classification:
623 2011
Abstract:
A method of implanting an aggregate joint prosthesis with a side approach to a joint includes exposing a side surface of a joint and positioning a pin member within the joint. Articular surfaces can be drilled and milled, and the prosthesis can be implanted. A set plate can be removed, with the set plate being configured to releasably link at least two components of the aggregate prosthesis.
Joint Implant Fixation System
US Patent:
8597361, Dec 3, 2013
Filed:
Nov 11, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/944331

Assignee:
BioShift, LLC - Ketchum ID
International Classification:
A61F 2/30
US Classification:
623 1811, 623 1111, 623 1611
Abstract:
Disclosed are embodiments of an improved joint prosthesis that can provide the option to improve initial stability without removing the implant or altering the preparation. Embodiments of improved joint implant components can comprise one or more expandable, hollow segmented posts. Methods of implant fixation are also disclosed. Disclosed methods can provide the opportunity for establishing initial biologic fixation (bone ingrowth), and can also provide an adjunct fixation through injecting cement down the center of the post if initial stability is not achieved or is questionable.
