External Fixation System And Method Of Use
US Patent:
2007004, Mar 1, 2007
Filed:
Aug 25, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/213030
Inventors:
Jim Hearn - Coatsville PA, US
Thomas Maughan - Downingtown PA, US

International Classification:
A61B 17/00
US Classification:
606056000
Abstract:
An external fixation system for connecting one or more bone segments together to facilitate healing of bone. The system may include one or more rings and/or ring segments. One or more linear distractors and/or angular distractors may connect the rings to each other so as to allow for distraction and/or reduction/compression of a bone. Linear distractors may enable an operator to move the rings towards and away from each other, while angular distractors may enable an operator to angle the rings relative to each other. In an embodiment using angular distractors, one or more angular separation assemblies may be positioned between the rings. These separation assemblies may have joints which may two portions which may be angled relative to each other and connected directly or indirectly to the rings. Various fasteners (e.g., nuts) and/or tightening members may configured for quick movement along and selective tightening to various components. Moreover, clamps may be attached to the rings and may engage pins, wire, rods, which may be inserted into bone to hold bone segments to each other. The components of the external fixation system may be provided in sets or kits so that the a surgeon may select various combinations of components to create an external fixation system which is configured specifically for the particular needs of a patient and the bone fracture/deformity.
Jig And Saw Guides For Use In Osteotomies
US Patent:
8529571, Sep 10, 2013
Filed:
Jan 21, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/691374
Inventors:
Timothy J. Horan - Royersford PA, US

Assignee:
Depuy Synthes Products, LLC - Raynham MA
International Classification:
A61F 5/00
US Classification:
606 87
Abstract:
An apparatus for locating a curvilinear cut in a bone comprises a jig body and a first arm, a top end of which is rotatably coupleable to a first portion of the jig body in combination with a second arm, a top end of which is rotatably coupleable to a second portion of the jig body separated from the first portion and a saw guide rotatably coupleable to the first arm, the saw guide including a bottom surface extending along a curve corresponding to a desired path through which a bone is to be cut, the saw guide including a locking feature receiving a bone fixation element which, in an operative configuration, is mounted in the bone to align the saw guide relative to the arm so that an operator may precisely align a desired axis of the saw guide with a longitudinal axis of the first arm.
Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy Plate
US Patent:
8523921, Sep 3, 2013
Filed:
Feb 24, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/361245

Assignee:
Depuy Synthes Products, LLC - Raynham MA
International Classification:
A61B 17/88, A61B 17/80
US Classification:
606291, 606281
Abstract:
An improved tibial plateau leveling osteotomy plate is disclosed. The plate is contoured in its proximal head portion to more closely resemble the structure of the tibial bone segment that is cut and rotated during the procedure. The plate also preferably has screw holes in the proximal head portion that are machined through the pre-contoured proximal head portion and are designed to angle the screw in a targeted screw path with respect to the osteotomy.
