Devices And Methods For The Diagnosis And Treatment Of Sacro-Iliac Joint Disease
US Patent:
2013017, Jul 4, 2013
Filed:
Jan 3, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/733832
Inventors:
Samy ABDOU - San Diego CA, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/70, A61B 6/03, A61M 5/00
US Classification:
600425, 606279, 604506
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for diagnostic and/or therapeutic manipulation of the sacro-iliac joint (SI joint). Trajectories for corridors used to manipulate the target SI joint are also disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises palpitating the inferior end of the SI joint, confirming via an imaging technique, and injecting a material into the joint. The injected material (such as a bone forming material) is deposited from the needle or through an implanted catheter. The SI joint may be also immobilized while the fusion mass forms via the use of at least one fixation member. In one embodiment, the fixation member comprises an external member and two internal members which threadedly engage each other. The fixation member is configured to expand and comprises bone growth promoting feature. The expanded member fixates the ilium to the Sacrum on the side of the target SI joint, thus the SI joint is immobilized and fused.
Devices And Methods To Prevent Or Limit Spondlylolisthesis And Other Aberrant Movements Of The Vertebral Bones
US Patent:
2013017, Jul 11, 2013
Filed:
Jul 6, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/543606
Inventors:
Samy ABDOU - San Diego CA, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/70
US Classification:
606246, 606279
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for using implanted devices to adjust and maintain the spatial relationship of adjacent bones. In one embodiment, the implant attaches to a vertebral bone of a two vertebral bone functional spinal unit. The implant resists spondylolisthesis formation and progression in the anterior, posterior and lateral directions based on an attachment configuration thereof. To resist anterior spondylolisthesis, the exemplary implementation of the implant anchors to the superior vertebral bone via attachment to the pars inter-aticularis, the lamina, the spinous process, or the pedicle of the superior vertebral bone. The implant abuts a surface of the inferior vertebral bone but does not attach. An additional abutment surface may be utilized to separate the superior aspect of the SAP of the lower vertebral bone and the IAP of the superior vertebral bone, thus limiting vertebral flexion. The implant may further comprise a cavity containing bone forming material.
Devices And Methods For Inter-Vertebral Orthopedic Device Placement
US Patent:
2013011, May 2, 2013
Filed:
Oct 22, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/657597
Inventors:
SAMY ABDOU - SAN DIEGO CA, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1716
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and devices for implanting an orthopedic device between skeletal segments, such as vertebrae, using limited surgical dissection. The implanted devices are used to adjust and maintain the spatial relationships of adjacent bones. The implanted device can be, for example, an artificial disc, a fusion cage or any other appropriate device for implantation between skeletal segments.
Devices And Methods For Inter-Vertebral Orthopedic Device Placement
US Patent:
7828847, Nov 9, 2010
Filed:
Feb 15, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/675597
Inventors:
Samy Abdou - San Diego CA, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1713, 623 1711, 623 1714, 623 1715
Abstract:
A bone prosthesis device is comprised of an upper and lower abutment surfaces and an intervening malleable member. The device is sufficiently small so that implantation into an inter-vertebral disc space can be performed from a substantially posterior approach without significant impingement upon the neural elements.
Devices And Methods For Dynamic Fixation Of Skeletal Structure
US Patent:
8398689, Mar 19, 2013
Filed:
Sep 14, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/882117
Inventors:
Samy Abdou - San Diego CA, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/04, A61B 17/84, A61F 2/08
US Classification:
606300
Abstract:
The disclosed screw assemblies include a screw that attaches onto the bone, a housing member that connects and inter-locks the bone screw to the rod, and one or more locking members that permit immobilization of various components of the assembly relative to one another while still permitting some relative movement. The bone screws and bone screw assemblies described herein permit flexible stabilization of the spine.
Devices And Methods For Superior Fixation Of Orthopedic Devices Onto The Vertebral Column
US Patent:
8388660, Mar 5, 2013
Filed:
Aug 1, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/888754
Inventors:
Samy Abdou - San Diego CA, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/70
US Classification:
606267, 606313
Abstract:
A bone anchor is driven into the pedicle portion of the vertebral body until a shoulder protrusion within the proximal aspect of the anchor abuts the bone surface and prevents further anchor travel into the bone. A feature within the distal aspect of the anchor is actuated producing the emergence of a distal shoulder protrusion. The latter directly abuts the distal aspect of the pedicle at the pedicle/vertebral body interface. Using this method, the anchor captures the pedicle portion of bone and contains it between the proximal and distal shoulder abutments.

606246, 606279, 606300, 606301, 606305, 606260, 606264, 606272
Abstract:
The disclosed screw assemblies include a screw that attaches onto the bone, a housing member that connects and inter-locks the bone screw to the rod, and one or more locking members that permit immobilization of various components of the assembly relative to one another while still permitting some relative movement. The bone screws and bone screw assemblies described herein permit flexible stabilization of the spine.
Devices And Methods For The Minimally Invasive Treatment Of Spinal Stenosis
US Patent:
2013012, May 16, 2013
Filed:
Nov 5, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/669294
Inventors:
SAMY ABDOU - San Diego CA, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/70
US Classification:
606248, 606 86 A
Abstract:
Multiple implants and methods for the minimally invasive treatment of spinal stenosis are disclosed. A spinal implant device includes a spacer region and an attachment region. The spacer region is adapted to be positioned between first and second spinous processes of first and second vertebral bodies to limit movement of the first spinous process and the second spinous process toward one another. The attachment region attaches to the first spinous process via a fastener that extends substantially along a long axis of the spinous process.

Abstract:
Disclosed are devices and methods for the placement of a bone fusion implant between vertebral bodies in a human or animal subject. In an exemplary method a pathway is formed in the first sacral vertebrae along a trajectory that has a starting point between the inferior aspect of the facet joint and the first posterior sacral foramen and transverses at least one pedicle, at least a portion of the first sacral vertebra and the disc space immediately superior to the sacrum. A fusion implant is placed into the formed pathway. Additional bone fasteners and inter-connecting rods are added to the fusion implant in order to further strengthen the construct. Embodiments that can be used to fuse an additional level are also disclosed.
