Patent number: 10201438Abstract: Prosthetic implant devices and related methods are provided. The prosthetic implant devices includes an internal component and an external component. The internal component has an implant portion associated with one or more rare earth magnets. The internal component being of a size and shape suitable for surgical implantation into the residual limb of the amputee. The implant portion being of a size and shape suitable for surgical implantation into a bone within the residual limb of the amputee. The one or more rare earth magnets generating at least one magnetic field. The external component having a prosthetic connection associated with a magnetic element. The magnet element being in adaptable magnetic association with the at least one magnetic field generated by the one or more rare earth magnets.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2017Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: Fellowship of Orthopaedic Researchers, Inc.Inventors: Stephen D. Cook, Shoib Bajaj, Laura P. Patron, Peter Strzepa

Patent number: 9968391Abstract: Facet screws comprise a lower portion have lower threads that have a constant outer or major diameter. The lower portion of the facet screws can also have a tapered or conical shape in a direction toward the lower end, and relative to a longitudinal axis, of the facet screw. Therefore, the lower threads closest to the lower end have a greater surface area for engaging the bone of a patient as compared to the lower threads furthest away from the lower end, i.e., closest to the top of the lower threads. One or more of the lower threads also can include certain dimensions and shapes that facilitate insertion and retention of the facet screws in the bone of a patient.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2013Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: Fellowship of Orthopaedic Researchers, LLCInventors: Stephen D. Cook, Shoib Bajaj

Patent number: 9668865Abstract: Implant devices, and method of using the same, are provided. The implant devices have an articular end and a stem, the stem having an oval-shaped cross-section. The articular end has an upper surface, a side surface, and a lower surface. The upper surface and lower surface each intersect the side surface. The upper surface has a first surface curvature, a central surface curvature, and a second surface curvature. The stem extends from the lower surface in a direction away from the upper surface of the articular end.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2014Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: Fellowship of Orthopaedic Researchers, Inc.Inventors: Stephen D Cook, Peter Strzepa, Shoib Bajaj
