| 20120046526 | INSTRUMENTS FOR USE IN FEMOROACETABULAR IMPINGEMENT PROCEDURES - Improved instruments (tools) and surgical techniques are provided for use in surgical procedures that treat femoroacetabular impingement of both the Cam and Pincer types. | 02-23-2012 |
| 20110170671 | SYSTEM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS FOR PATIENT POSITIONING TABLE - An approach is provided for patient positioning.

| 20110125279 | CONSTRAINED CONDYLAR KNEE DEVICE - A knee joint prosthesis includes a femoral component having a first condylar bearing surface and a second condylar bearing surface. Each of the first and second condylar bearing surfaces has a cross-section in a coronal plane that exhibits at least two different radii. The prosthesis also includes a tibial component and an insert component associated with the tibial component. The insert component has bearing surfaces that are complementary to the first and second condylar bearing surfaces, wherein a contact point is established between the bearing surfaces of the insert component and the first and second condylar bearing surface. In accordance with the present invention and as a result of the above construction, varus and valgus rotation of the femoral component relative to the insert component causes the contact point to move laterally as the knee is rotated. By shifting the contact pointy laterally/outwardly, the knee stability (i.e., stiffness) gradually increased. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110125275 | PROSTHETIC CONDYLAR JOINTS WITH ARTICULATING BEARING SURFACES HAVING A TRANSLATING CONTACT POINT DURING ROTATION THEREOF - A prosthetic joint according to the present invention includes a first implant component for attachment to a first bone and a second implant component for attachment to a second bone. The first implant component has a condylar portion that includes first and second condylar bearing surfaces and similarly, the second implant component has bearing surfaces that receive and are complementary to the first and second condylar bearing surfaces. Each of the first and second condylar bearing surfaces and each of the bearing surfaces of the second implant component has a cross-section in a coronal plane that exhibits two different radii and a contact point is established between the first and second condylar bearing surfaces and the bearing surfaces of the second implant component. The bearing surfaces of the respective implant components are configured such that varus and valgus rotation of the first implant component relative to the second implant component causes the contact point to move outwardly. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110125274 | ELBOW REPLACEMENT APPARATUS AND METHODS - Apparatus and methods for total elbow replacement are provided to allow a surgeon to intraoperatively select a linked or unlinked constraint by utilizing a connection located on the body of the ulnar and/or humeral stem. Additional modularity also allows the selection of a cemented or cementless stem as described herein. The modularity and adjustability provides a number of advantages. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110118847 | POSTERIOR STABILIZED KNEE PROSTHESIS - A knee joint prosthesis includes a femoral component having an anterior side, a posterior side, a pair of laterally spaced condylar portions, and an intercondylar portion joining the condylar portions and including a recess. A cam surface is located adjacent the intercondylar recess on the anterior side of the femoral component and has a saddle shape that is defined by an at least substantially concave first radius of curvature and a convex third radius of curvature that is perpendicular to the concave first radius of curvature. The prosthesis also includes a tibial component including a platform having an upper surface that includes first and second laterally spaced concavities. Each concavity is adapted for receiving one condylar portion of the femoral component. The tibial component has a tibial post for reception in the intercondylar recess of the femoral component. The tibial post has a saddle shaped anterior earn surface that is complementary to the saddle shaped anterior cam surface of the femoral component and is defined by an at least substantially convex second radius of curvature and a concave fourth radius of curvature that is perpendicular to the convex second radius of curvature. | 05-19-2011 |
| 20090285840 | METHODS FOR TREATING PATHOLOGICAL NEOVASCULARIZATION - Provided herein are compositions and methods that inhibit expression of Adam9 gene products, such as ADAM9 mRNA and/or ADAM9 polypeptides, as a therapeutic approach for the treatment of pathological neovascularization and conditions associated with angiogenesis. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20090216333 | WRIST IMPLANTS - An implant system and apparatus configured to permit motion of the wrist in at least one physiological direction, as well as in a dart thrower's motion, and constrain motion of the wrist in at least one non-physiological direction are provided. The implant according to one embodiment includes a distal component and proximal component. Each of the distal and proximal components includes a primary articulating portion and a secondary articulating portion. Primary and secondary articulating portions include at least one component having either a substantially convex or a substantially concave shape. The secondary articulating portion is configured to be radially and volarly disposed in relation to the primary articulating portion. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20090204223 | KINEMATIC TOTAL WRIST ARTHROPLASTY - An implant system and apparatus configured to permit motion of the wrist in at least one physiological direction, as well as in a dart thrower's motion, and constrain motion of the wrist in at least one non-physiological direction are provided. The implant according to one embodiment includes a distal component and proximal component. Each of the distal and proximal components includes a primary articulating portion and a secondary articulating portion. Primary and secondary articulating portions include at least one component having either a substantially convex or a substantially concave shape. The secondary articulating portion is configured to be radially and volarly disposed in relation to the primary articulating portion. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090203006 | BIOLOGICAL MARKERS OF CHRONIC WOUND TISSUE AND METHODS OF USING FOR CRITERIA IN SURGICAL DEBRIDEMENT - The present invention relates to methods for identifying tissue sites in a chronic wound that are suitable for debridement and whether debridement procedure has been successful using particular biological markers of the cells within the tissue sites of the chronic wounds. | 08-13-2009 |
