| 20090171393 | Tissue Distraction Device - An apparatus and method is provided for distracting, in a given direction, and supporting opposed endplates of a vertebral body. A plurality of wafers are consecutively inserted within the vertebral body between the two endplates to create a column of wafers. The column of wafers is oriented between the endplates so as to expand in the given direction as the wafers are consecutively added to the column. The method further includes the step of introducing bone filler in contact with the expanded structure. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20090182339 | Tissue Distraction Device - An apparatus and method for distracting, in a given direction, and supporting two tissue surfaces. A plurality of wafers are consecutively inserted between the two tissue surfaces to create a column of wafers. The column of wafers is oriented between the tissue surfaces so as to expand in the given direction as the wafers are consecutively added to the column. | 07-16-2009 |

| 20080234688 | Apparatus and Method for Placing an Implant In Vivo - A system and method for placing an implant into or onto supporting bone, or between adjacent bones, without impaction is disclosed. The system includes an implant, a distracter, and a sleeve. Optionally, the invention includes an alignment guide, a surgical navigational tracker, and a bone displacer. The sleeve is structured to interpose the implant and supporting bone and provide a differential engagement force between the sleeve-implant interface and the sleeve-bone interface to preferentially move the implant into, onto or between supporting bone structures. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20090265012 | IMPLANTS FOR PARTIAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY - The present invention provides a method and device for restoring individual patient joint kinematic using minimally invasive surgical procedures. The instrumentation of the invention sculpts the articular surface of a first bone that normally articulates in a predetermined manner with a second bone. The implant system is comprised of implants that provide intraoperative surgical options for articular constraint and facilitate proper alignment and orientation of the joint to restore kinematics as defined by the individual patient anatomy. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20100145343 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SCULPTING THE SURFACE OF A JOINT - Methods and devices for sculpting bones, particularly in preparation for implanting prosthetic devices to replace articulating bone joint surfaces. Improved bone removal devices including burr mills driven by gears and loop drives are provided. Reciprocating cutters and belt cutters are also provided. Some devices have either integral or removable expandable portions to vary the force and bone resection depth. Devices can have irrigation ports and plenums to remove bone fragments. Some cutters are dual cutters, adapted to remove bone in two or more regions, such as the knee joint, simultaneously. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100280624 | MODULAR APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SCULPTING THE SURFACE OF A JOINT - The present invention provides a modular device for restoring individual joint kinematics using minimally invasive surgical procedures.
