Patent number: 8668725Abstract: A bone screw is provided for securing a medical device to bone. The bone screw can engage with a bone screw hole in a medical device, such as an anterior cervical plate or sternal closure plate. Embodiments of the bone screw can include a screw head, a smooth cylindrical shaft region, a first and a second cylindrical shaft region with external threading, a tapered shaft region with external threading and one or more recessed flutes, and a sharp tip without threading or fluting. The external threading in the first and the second cylindrical shaft regions can have different pitches and crests. The external threading on the tapered shaft region can be tapered.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2007Date of Patent: March 11, 2014Assignee: Southern Spine, LLCInventors: Hugh F. Smisson, III, David C. Field, Paul Gombar, Jr., Walter R. Sanders, Brandi Bohleber

Patent number: 8372123Abstract: A sternal closure device is provided, comprising a first plate having a bone fixation region with at least one countersunk aperture for receiving a fastening means for affixing the first plate to one side of the sternum, and a locking region with at least one protruding aligning member; a second plate having a bone fixation region with at least one countersunk aperture for receiving a fastening means for affixing the second plate to the opposite side of the sternum, and a locking region dimensioned to contact at least a portion of the locking region of the first plate; and a rotating member that engages with the aligning member(s) on the first plate for holding the first and second plates together to secure the opposite sides of the sternum. The first and second plates can be separated by reversibly disengaging the rotating member from the aligning member(s).Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2007Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: Trimax Medical Management, Inc.Inventors: Hugh F.

Patent number: 8057521Abstract: The present invention discloses a device and method to establish and maintain bone stabilization and enhance post-operative healing in a surgical site, such as the cervical spine of a patient, with reduced risk of erosion or other injury to adjacent anatomic structures from extrusion of surgical fasteners, such as bone screws. The surgical stabilization system according to the present invention provides for the secure plating of structures such as adjacent vertebral bodies with allowance for selective postoperative motion of the surgical fasteners used to secure the plate. Such motion imparts benefit from increased translational response and remodeling in the course of bone healing, thus resulting in strengthened fusion.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2006Date of Patent: November 15, 2011Assignee: Southern Spine, LLCInventors: Hugh F. Smisson, III, David C. Field, Paul Gombar, Rich Griffith
