| 20100057216 | System and method for joint resurfacing with dynamic fixation - A joint resurfacing system for repairing defects in the articular surface of bones in the foot. The system includes a hemiarthroplasty implant for the talus resulting in minimal removal of the underlying bone. The implant device comprises a first curved surface and a second curved surface, with the second curved surface coupled to an articular surface of a talus bone via a dynamic fixation device. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100076498 | Active compression orthopedic screw assembly and method of use - An orthopedic screw assembly including a proximal member positioned at a proximal end of the orthopedic screw assembly, a distal member positioned at a distal end of the orthopedic screw assembly, and an elongate element having a first end and a second end. The elongate element is coupled to the proximal member at the first end and coupled to the distal member at the second end. The elongate element is configured to apply a dynamic compressive force on each of the proximal member and the distal member, thereby coupling the proximal member to the distal member. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20100121324 | Fixation system, an intramedullary fixation assembly and method of use - A fixation system, including an intramedullary fixation assembly and an instrument for coupling the intramedullary fixation assembly to bones. The intramedullary fixation assembly includes a proximal screw member positioned at a proximal end of the intramedullary fixation assembly, a distal member positioned at a distal end of the intramedullary fixation assembly, where the proximal screw member is slideably coupled to the distal member and makes a fixed angle with the distal member. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20100121325 | Hybrid intramedullary fixation assembly and method of use - A hybrid intramedullary fixation assembly for joint stabilization is provided and includes a plate member having a plurality of apertures. The plate member includes a first elongated portion and a second curved portion. The assembly includes a plurality of metatarsal screws for coupling the plate member to the first elongated portion and to the metatarsal bone, an intramedullary screw member coupled to the first elongated portion applies compression to the tarsometarsal joint, and a plurality of medial screws coupled to the second curved portion and to the bones in the mid-foot region stabilizes the joint. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20100211115 | Compression screw assembly, an orthopedic fixation system including a compression screw assembly and method of use - A compression screw assembly includes a first primary member having a threaded leading portion of a first pitch, a smooth middle portion and a threaded trailing portion of a second pitch with the trailing portion residing directly opposite leading portion. The compression screw assembly includes a second threaded screw head member positioned at a distal end having external threads, which are of the same pitch as the plurality of threads of the leading portion, and internal threads of a fourth pitch and dissimilar screw leads from the external threads. The difference in screw leads causes the compression screw member to apply a compressive force on bone fragments when compression screw assembly is inserted into bone fragments. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20100324556 | Fixation system, an intramedullary fixation assembly and method of use - An intramedullary fixation assembly for bone fusion includes a first member positioned at a proximal end of the intramedullary fixation assembly, and a second member positioned at a distal end of the, intramedullary fixation assembly. The first member is slideably coupled to the second member and provides for an interference fit with the second member. The intramedullary fixation assembly includes an optional cannulated threaded screw member having a plurality of threads on an external surface of the threaded screw member. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20110118739 | Intramedullary fixation assembly and method of use - A method for applying compression to a joint includes providing an intramedullary fixation assembly having a proximal screw member positioned at a proximal end of the intramedullary fixation assembly and a lag screw member positioned at a distal end of the intramedullary fixation assembly. Medullary canals are drilled in a first and second bone and the medullary canals are reamed. The proximal screw member is inserted into the first bone and a drill is used create a dorsal hole in the first bone. The lag screw member is slideably coupled to the dorsal hole and to the proximal screw member and into the second medullary canal. A torque is applied to the lag screw member to apply compression to the joint. | 05-19-2011 |
| 20110125153 | INTRAMEDULLARY FIXATION ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF USE - An intramedullary fixation assembly for bone fusion includes an implant member positioned at a proximal end of the intramedullary fixation assembly, a lag screw member positioned at a distal end of the intramedullary fixation assembly and a circular member frictionally coupled to the lag screw member. The lag screw member is slideably coupled to the implant member and provides for an interference fit with the implant member. | 05-26-2011 |
