The elongate member has a first end portion, a second end portion, and a side portion. The side portion of the elongate member has a first receiving portion and a second receiving portion. The first receiving portion is configured to receive a first support member. The second receiving portion is configured to receive a second support member. The first coupler is coupled to the elongate member and is configured to engage the first support member to help retain the first support member within the first receiving portion. The second coupler is coupled to the elongate member and is configured to engage the second support member to help retain the second support member within the second receiving portion. | 01-17-2013 |
20130018428 | Orthopedic Fixation Devices and Methods of Installation ThereofAANM Harper; MichaelAACI PottstownAAST PAAACO USAAGP Harper; Michael Pottstown PA USAANM George; MilanAACI King of PrussiaAAST PAAACO USAAGP George; Milan King of Prussia PA USAANM Manninen; KatherineAACI LimerickAAST PAAACO USAAGP Manninen; Katherine Limerick PA USAANM Perkins; JohnAACI PottstownAAST PAAACO USAAGP Perkins; John Pottstown PA US - The present invention is generally directed to orthopedic fixation devices that comprise a coupling element and a bone fastener, whereby the bone fastener can be loaded into the coupling element through the bottom of a bore in the coupling element. | 01-17-2013 |
20140188173 | Orthopedic Fixation Devices and Methods of Installation Thereof - The present invention is generally directed to orthopedic fixation devices that comprise a coupling element and a bone fastener, whereby the bone fastener can be loaded into the coupling element through the bottom of a bore in the coupling element. The orthopedic fixation devices described herein can include modular locking clamp assemblies that can be fixed onto fasteners that are already implanted in bone. The modular locking clamp assemblies can include polyaxial locking clamp assemblies, as well as monoaxial locking clamp assemblies. | 07-03-2014 |
20140188175 | Orthopedic Fixation Devices and Methods of Installation Thereof - The present invention is generally directed to orthopedic fixation devices that comprise a coupling element and a bone fastener, whereby the bone fastener can be loaded into the coupling element through the bottom of a bore in the coupling element. The orthopedic fixation devices described herein can include modular locking clamp assemblies that can be fixed onto fasteners that are already implanted in bone. The modular locking clamp assemblies can include polyaxial locking clamp assemblies, as well as monoaxial locking clamp assemblies. | 07-03-2014 |
20140257401 | Elastic Member Clamps - The present application generally relates to orthopedic stabilization systems, and in particular, to systems including clamps. The clamps can be used in addition to or to replace hooks that grasp onto bone members, such as the lamina. One example of such a clamp is an in-line clamp that includes a central opening for receiving a rod member, a first opening for receiving a set screw and a second opening for receiving an elastic member therethrough. Another example of such a clamp is an off-set clamp that includes an upper plate, a bottom plate, and an opening for receiving a rod therein. The upper plate can be separated from the bottom plate to make space for an elastic member that can be secured within the plates. Tulip clamps that utilize one or more elastic members are also provided. | 09-11-2014 |
