Patent number: 9839454Abstract: An intramedullary device, having a first longitudinal axis extending between a proximal end and a distal end thereof, is provided. The intramedullary device may include a first bore and a second bore. The first bore may include a second longitudinal axis and may extend through the intramedullary device between a first opening and a second opening. The second longitudinal axis may define a first angle (?1) with the first longitudinal axis. The second bore may include a third longitudinal axis and may extend through the intramedullary device between the first opening and a third opening. The third longitudinal axis may define a second angle (?2) with the first longitudinal axis.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2014Date of Patent: December 12, 2017Assignee: Biomet C.V.Inventors: Stephen Andrew Sems, Daniel Horwitz, Tracy Watson, Michael Wich, Greg Gohring, Daren Granger, Joseph Michael O'Reilly

Patent number: 9763681Abstract: An orthopaedic aiming device system is provided that includes a targeting device. The targeting device has a curved portion with an end and at least one guide opening formed therethrough. The curved portion also defines an arced axis. Connected to the end of the curved portion is a mounting portion that has at least one mounting opening formed therethrough. The mounting opening defines a mounting axis that is approximately orthogonal to at least one point on the arced axis of the curved portion. The orthopaedic aiming device system can also include mounting pins, a positioning device, and an orthopaedic implant. The mounting pins can include distancing features that interact with distance locking features of the mounting opening(s) to properly distance the targeting device from the orthopaedic implant. Also included is a method to target implant openings that have compound angled screw trajectories using an orthopaedic aiming device system.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2014Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: Biomet Manufacturing, LLCInventors: George Haidukewych, Daren Granger, Greg Gohring, Joseph O'Reilly

Publication number: 20160199145Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring an intramedullary length for an orthopedic implant are described herein. A reamer system comprises a reamer shaft and a first reamer head. The reamer shaft comprises a proximal end having a drive coupler, a distal end having a reamer coupler, and markers located along the reamer shaft proximate the proximal end. The first reamer head comprises a head coupler configured to connect with the reamer coupler, and one or more cutting flutes located distal to the head coupler. The markers provide an indication of lengths of the system from a distal tip of the cutting flutes to each of the markers. The markers can be radiopaque. A method of employing the reamer system to measure the intramedullary length is described herein.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2016Publication date: July 14, 2016Inventors: George J.
