Publication number: 20240156468Abstract: A resection guide locator includes a bone engagement portion with surfaces that are complementary to the surface topographies of a bone to be resected during surgery. A housing includes a socket defined by a resilient annular wall that is sized and arranged so to accept a resection guide by press-fit to thereby position and hold the resection guide within the socket. The resection guide is maintained in a predetermined, preferred position while the surfaces are releasably locked in position on the bone. A method is disclosed for forming and using the resection guide locator.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2024Publication date: May 16, 2024Applicant: Microport Orthopedics Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Michael CARROLL, Richard OBERT, Paul STEMNISKI

Patent number: 11779356Abstract: A system for establishing an intramedullary path includes a body sized and configured to be received within a resected bone space. The body defines a first aperture that extends through the body and is sized and configured to receive a surgical tool therethrough. A first bone engaging structure extends from the body in a first direction and includes a first surface that is complementary to a surface topography of a first bone. When the first surface of the bone engaging structure engages the surface topography of the first bone to which the first surface is complementary, an axis defined by the first aperture is substantially collinear with a mechanical axis of the first bone.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2021Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: MICROPORT ORTHOPEDICS HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Paul M. Stemniski, Richard Obert, Sarah Lancianese

Publication number: 20230081661Abstract: A surgical device includes an body extending from a proximal end to a distal end. The distal end of the body defines a notch sized and configured to receive a reamer. A coupling assembly is supported by the body and includes a reamer guide body disposed at the distal end of the body. The reamer guide body configured to move between a first position and a second position in which the reaming guide body extends at least partially across the notch. A locking assembly is supported by the body and is configured to releasably engage the coupling assembly to maintain the reamer guide body in the second position.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2022Publication date: March 16, 2023Applicant: MicroPort Orthopedics Holdings Inc.Inventors: Paul STEMNISKI, Richard OBERT, Sarah Lynne BROWNHILL

Publication number: 20230000507Abstract: A system includes a cartridge having an elongate body extending from a first end to a second end and having a top side and a bottom side. The cartridge defines a first hole adjacent to the first end that extends through the cartridge from the bottom side to the top side. The top side of the cartridge defines a pair of parallel slots that extend perpendicular with respect to a longitudinal axis of the cartridge. Each slot of the pair of parallel slots is equidistant from a central axis defined by the first hole.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2022Publication date: January 5, 2023Applicant: MicroPort Orthopedics Holdings Inc.Inventors: Paul STEMNISKI, Sarah LANCIANESE, Richard OBERT
