Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080249580Methods and Instruments of Reducing a Fracture - An instrument for reduction of a bone fracture is disclosed. The instrument includes an orthopaedic surgical implant (10-09-2008
20080300597Telemetric Orthopaedic Implant - An instrumented orthopaedic implant, such as an intramedullary (IM) nail, is disclosed. The implant has the capacity to provide an accurate measurement of the applied mechanical load across the implant. The implant includes sensors and associated electronic components located in recesses on the outer surface of the implant. The implant houses the sensing apparatus, the interface circuitry, the data transmitter, and the power receiver. The hermetically sealed housing is adapted for implantation in the body of a patient. The implant is used with a controller which communicates with it by telemetry, and there is an acting unit connected to the electronic components which is adapted to carry out a function based upon a condition detected by the sensors.12-04-2008
20080300637Systems and methods for using polyaxial plates - Certain embodiments of the invention provide plates for treating periarticular fractures or other non-full body weight bearing applications that combine polyaxial fixation with a low profile and enhanced contouring that more closely conforms to bone. Such plates can be designed to achieve buttressing effect and/or to be used in a reinforcement mode. Other features can be combined with these. Such plates can be created for use on bone sites such as on a tibia, fibula, metatarsal, calcaneous, other foot bone, humerus, radius, ulna, spinal, maxillofacial, as well as sites on other bones.12-04-2008
20090048598ASSEMBLIES FOR THE REDUCTION OF A FRACTURE - A controlled removable fracture-reducing assembly (02-19-2009
20090143824SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USING POLYAXIAL PLATES - Embodiments of the present invention provide a bone fixation assembly that can provide polyaxial fixation. The polyaxial fixation may be provided by fins that protrude from an opening in a bone plate or fins that protrude from a fastener head.06-04-2009
20100094195SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DELIVERING A MEDICAMENT - A medicament containment device (04-15-2010
20100152566SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING A LANDMARK06-17-2010
20100152573SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING LANDMARKS ON ORTHOPEDIC IMPLANTS06-17-2010
20100318085INTERNAL FIXATION DEVICES - The present disclosure relates to an internal fixation device including an interface portion, a polymer material coupled to the interface portion, wherein the polymer material includes at least one feature on a surface of the polymer material, and means for allowing adequate expansion of the polymer material on each side of the bone fracture site. A method of fixating the internal fixation device to a bone and other internal fixation devices and methods for fixating are also disclosed.12-16-2010
