Patent number: 9237949Abstract: Methods and apparatus for orthopedic replacement of the hip through three incisions with a modular prosthetic system assembled in vivo while substantially preserving muscles and soft tissues around the hip joint resulting in reduced healing time and decreased risk of dislocation. A prosthetic femoral stem is inserted into the femur. A prosthetic femoral neck is inserted from a point along the side of the patient's body and into the side of the femur and through a lateral bore in the prosthetic femoral stem to join the prosthetic femoral head. The methods and apparatus include structures and techniques for fixing or enhancing interconnection of implant components, such as by increasing the interconnection in an interference fit with one or more tapers, threads, and/or cooling of components prior to assembly.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2013Date of Patent: January 19, 2016Assignee: iHip Surgical, LLCInventors: Anatol Podolsky, Yuri Garbuzov

Patent number: 8974540Abstract: Methods and apparatus for orthopedic replacement of the hip and hip fracture fixation devices include structures and techniques for fixing or enhancing interconnection of implant components, such as by increasing the interconnection in an interference fit with one or more tapers, threads, and/or cooling of components prior to assembly. For example, a prosthetic femoral neck implant can include a thread and a Morse taper for lockable attachment to a prosthetic femoral head and/or intramedullary stem.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2013Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: iHip Surgical, LLCInventor: Anatol Podolsky

Patent number: 8795381Abstract: Methods and apparatus of the present invention provide for orthopaedic replacement of the hip while substantially preserving muscles and soft tissues around the hip joint resulting in reduced healing time and decreased risk of dislocation following the procedure. In an exemplary embodiment, an intramedullary rod 1502 is inserted longitudinally into the femur. A prosthetic femoral neck 3102 is then inserted from a point along the side of the patient's body and into the side of the femur and through a pre-existing lateral bore in the intramedullary rod 1502 and through the remainder of the femur to join the prosthetic femoral head 1102. The methods and apparatus include structures and techniques for fixing the prosthetic femoral neck 3102 in relation to the intramedullary rod 1502.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2012Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: IHIP Surgical, LLCInventor: Anatol Podolsky

Publication number: 20140128986Abstract: Orthopedic hip replacement is made safer and more effective by enhancing interconnection of hip implant components, such as by improving an interference fit using one or more tapers, threads, and/or cooling of components prior to assembly. For example, a prosthetic femoral neck can include a thread and a Morse taper for lockable attachment to a prosthetic femoral head and/or intramedullary stem. A monoblock head and neck unit is described, having an integrated prosthetic femoral head and prosthetic neck, with structures for engaging the stem.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2013Publication date: May 8, 2014Applicant: iHip Surgical, LLCInventor: Anatol Podolsky
