Patent number: 11969192Abstract: A spinal construct includes a body defining a transverse axis. The body includes a wall disposed between a first implant cavity and a second implant cavity. The body further defines a first opening communicating with the first implant cavity and a second opening communicating with the second implant cavity. The first opening defines a first axis and the second opening defines a second axis. At least one of the first axis and the second axis are disposed in a substantially non-perpendicular orientation relative to the transverse axis. Systems, surgical instruments, implants and methods are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Larry T.

Patent number: 10004538Abstract: A surgical instrument includes a first arm engageable with a first spinal construct disposed with a first vertebral surface. A second arm is connected with the first arm via a pivot and being engageable with a second spinal construct disposed with a second vertebral surface. The first arm is movable to rotate the first spinal construct relative to the pivot and/or the second arm is movable to rotate the second spinal construct relative to the pivot such that the first vertebral surface is moved relative to the second vertebral surface. Systems and methods of use are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2016Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Jennifer G. McNab, Nicholas M. Benson, Brian A. Butler, Eric D. Densford, Christine Joe, Larry T. McBride, Jr.

Patent number: 9743921Abstract: A method for treating a spine includes disposing a body including vertebrae in a lateral orientation relative to a surgical fixed surface configured for supporting the body; creating an incision in tissue of the body along a substantially transverse plane of the body; spacing the tissue adjacent the incision along a sagittal plane of the body to define a surgical pathway to the vertebrae; and delivering at least one implant adjacent the vertebrae via the surgical pathway. Systems and implants are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2014Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Michelle M. Hennard, Larry T. McBride, Jr.

Publication number: 20160089188Abstract: A method comprises the steps of: providing a first surgical instrument comprising a surface having a mating element; connecting the first surgical instrument with a fastener, connecting the fastener with tissue; engaging the mating element with a mating element of at least one of a plurality of alternate second surgical instruments interchangeable with the first surgical instrument; and treating the spine with the first surgical instrument and the at least one second surgical instrument. Instruments and implants are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2014Publication date: March 31, 2016Inventors: Larry T. McBride, JR., Nicholas Benson

Patent number: 8657825Abstract: A method for stabilizing bony structures comprises attaching a bone anchor with a first extender extending therefrom and having a receiving portion to a first vertebra. A second bone anchor is then attached to a second extender extending therefrom and having a receiving portion to a second vertebra. A connecting element is manipulated into a desired position relative to the first bone anchor and the second bone anchor and into a pathway defined in the second extender. A securing member is delivered through a passage in the first extender. The connecting element is secured in the receiving portion of the first bone anchor with the securing member. The second extender is manipulated so that it contacts the connecting element. The second vertebra is moved toward the connecting element while the second extender is contacting the connecting element until the connecting element is seated in the receiving portion of the second bone anchor.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2011Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: Warsaw Orthopedic, IncInventors: Jeff R Justis, John D. Pond, Jr., Larry T McBride, Jr.

Publication number: 20110125192Abstract: Systems for positioning a connecting element adjacent the spinal column in minimally invasive surgical procedures include one or more extenders removably engaged to one or more anchors engaged to a bony segment. The anchor extenders provide a reference to the respective anchor locations within the patient even when the anchor is obstructed by skin and/or tissue of the patient. An inserter can be movably mounted to the one or more anchor extenders, or an inserter can be employed without mounting to the one or more anchor extenders. In either form, the inserter is operable to position a stabilization element relative to the anchors for engagement to the anchors to stabilize the bony segment to which the anchors are engaged. At least one of the one or more anchor extenders includes a reduction assembly that is operable to move one or more portions of the bony segment while maintaining the minimally invasive character of the procedure.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2011Publication date: May 26, 2011Applicant: WARSAW ORTHOPEDIC, INC.Inventors: Jeff R.
