20100212138 | Method For Forming A Patient Specific Surgical Guide Mount - A resection guide locator includes a bone engagement portion with surfaces that are complementary to the surface topographies of a bone to be resected during surgery. A housing includes a socket defined by a resilient annular wall that is sized and arranged so to accept a resection guide by press-fit to thereby position and hold the resection guide within the socket. The resection guide is maintained in a predetermined, preferred position while the surfaces are releasably locked in position on the bone. A method is disclosed for forming and using the resection guide locator. | 08-26-2010 |

20120130434 | ORTHOPEDIC SURGICAL GUIDE - A system for establishing an intramedullary path includes a body sized and configured to be received within a resected bone space. The body defines a first aperture that extends through the body and is sized and configured to receive a surgical tool therethrough. A first bone engaging structure extends from the body in a first direction and includes a first surface that is complementary to a surface topography of a first bone. When the first surface of the bone engaging structure engages the surface topography of the first bone to which the first surface is complementary, an axis defined by the first aperture is substantially collinear with a mechanical axis of the first bone. | 05-24-2012 |
20120221008 | PATIENT SPECIFIC SURGICAL GUIDE LOCATOR AND MOUNT - A resection guide locator includes a bone engagement portion with surfaces that are complementary to the surface topographies of a bone to be resected during surgery. A housing includes a socket defined by a resilient annular wall that is sized and arranged so to accept a resection guide by press-fit to thereby position and hold the resection guide within he socket. The resection guide is maintained in a predetermined, preferred position while the surfaces are releasably locked in position on the bone. A method is disclosed for forming and using the resection guide locator. | 08-30-2012 |
20120271314 | ORTHOPEDIC SURGICAL GUIDE - A surgical device includes an elongate body extending from a proximal end to a distal end. The distal end of the elongate body defines a notch sized and configured to receive a reamer. A coupling assembly is supported by the elongate body and includes a reamer guide body disposed at the distal end of the elongate body. The reamer guide body configured to move between a first position and a second position in which the reaming guide body extends at least partially across the notch. A locking assembly is supported by the elongate body and is configured to releasably engage the coupling assembly to maintain the reamer guide body in the second position. | 10-25-2012 |

The resection guide is maintained in a predetermined, preferred position while the surfaces are releasably locked in position on the bone. A method is disclosed for forming and using the resection guide locator. | 10-17-2013 |
20140163563 | INSTRUMENT FOR INTRA-OPERATIVE IMPLANT TEMPLATING USING FLUOROSCOPY - A surgical instrument having a first assembly with a first radio-opaque portion providing a profile of a first portion of an intramedullary implant or canal in a bone, and a second assembly having a second radio-opaque portion providing a profile of a second portion of the intramedullary implant or canal. The surgical instrument may also include a third radio-opaque portion providing an alignment feature to provide a fluoroscopic planar check for the surgical instrument. | 06-12-2014 |
20140163570 | ALIGNMENT GUIDE WITH EMBEDDED FEATURES FOR INTRA-OPERATIVE FLUORO-CHECKS - A surgical device having an assembly used to position a patient-specific surgical instrument with a bone of a patient, the assembly having radio-opaque and radiolucent portions that provide an indication of the instrument, and corresponding implant's alignment with respect to the bone, as well as an indication that the angle of the projection (or orientation of the view) of the alignment guide to assess the placement of the alignment guide relative to the underlying bony anatomy. The radio-opaque portion may include a plurality of Kirschner wires, fiducial markers, and may include a void allowing for alignment down a first length of the radio-opaque portion. Embodiments may be used with intra-operative fluoroscopy. | 06-12-2014 |
20140324053 | ORTHOPEDIC SURGICAL GUIDE - A surgical device includes an elongate body extending from a proximal end to a distal end. The distal end of the elongate body defines a notch sized and configured to receive a reamer. A coupling assembly is supported by the elongate body and includes a reamer guide body disposed at the distal end of the elongate body. The reamer guide body configured to move between a first position and a second position in which the reaming guide body extends at least partially across the notch. A locking assembly is supported by the elongate body and is configured to releasably engage the coupling assembly to maintain the reamer guide body in the second position. | 10-30-2014 |
