Patent number: 11963847Abstract: TPLO plate includes a body having a proximal portion positioned over a cut and repositioned proximal segment of a tibia during a procedure and a distal portion positioned over a distal segment of the tibia during the procedure and a first distal hole extending through a proximal end of the distal portion from the first surface to the second surface. The first hole is configured so that the body is rotatable about a fixation element seated therein in combination with a second distal hole extending through the distal portion distally of the first hole. The second hole includes a compression surface along a caudal side thereof, so that a head portion of a fixation element is slid therealong during insertion into the second hole and the distal end is moved caudally relative to the fixation element and the body is rotated about the fixation element in the first hole relative to the recess of the first hole, cranially compressing the proximal segment against the distal segment.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: DEPUY SYNTHES PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Timothy J. Horan, Michael Kowaleski

Publication number: 20240108385Abstract: TPLO plate includes a body and first and second distal holes. The body extends longitudinally from a proximal end to a distal end and defined via a first surface which, in an operative configuration, faces away from a bone and a second surface which, in the operative configuration, faces toward the bone. The body includes a proximal portion configured to be positioned over a cut and repositioned proximal segment of a tibia during a procedure and a distal portion extending along a longitudinal axis and configured to be positioned over a distal segment of the tibia during the procedure. The first hole extends through a proximal end of the distal portion of the body from the first surface to the second surface. The first hole includes an elongated portion and an offset portion open to and in communication with one another.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Timothy J. HORAN, Michael KOWALESKI, Jaime MAZUREK, James GUTHLEIN

Publication number: 20210228248Abstract: An improved tibial plateau leveling osteotomy plate is disclosed. The plate is contoured in its proximal head portion to more closely resemble the structure of the tibial bone segment that is cut and rotated during the procedure. The plate also preferably has screw holes in the proximal head portion that are machined through the pre-contoured proximal head portion and are designed to angle the screw in a targeted screw path with respect to the osteotomy.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2021Publication date: July 29, 2021Inventors: Timothy J. HORAN, Christopher H. SCHOLL, Daneen K. TOUHALISKY
