Publication number: 20200315673Abstract: An intramedullary rod for use with a fastener to repair a femur includes an elongate nail extending along a longitudinal axis and having a stem and a head. The head is provided with an aperture extending along an axis at an angle to the longitudinal axis for receiving the fastener. A mechanism is carried by the head for pivoting the axis of the aperture from a first angled position relative to the head to a second angled position relative to the head. A method for using the rod and fastener is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2020Publication date: October 8, 2020Applicant: Epix Orthopaedics, Inc.Inventors: Amir M.

Patent number: 8951295Abstract: A posterior spinal fastener is disclosed for insertion into a vertebra of a mammalian body, the vertebra having posterior elements and a vertebral body. The fastener includes an elongate member adapted for insertion into the vertebra. The elongate body has an anterior portion and a posterior portion. The anterior portion is arcuate in shape for placement in the vertebral body. The posterior portion has a length so as to be accessible at the posterior elements of the vertebra when the anterior portion is disposed in the vertebral body. A method of use of the posterior spinal fastener is also disclosed, in which the posterior spinal fastener is introduced into the vertebra at the posterior elements and arcuately extended into the vertebral body.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2009Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: Total Connect Spine, LLCInventors: Amir M. Matityahu, Robert Trigg McClellan, William H. Dillin
