Patent number: 9433452Abstract: In a method and system for corrective surgery of a bone, a bone is cut into a first bone segment and a second bone segment. A plate is positioned over the first bone segment and the second bone segment such that at least one member of the plate is positioned to engage the second bone segment. The at least one member of the plate is inserted into the second bone segment. At least one bone screw is screwed into the first bone segment through at least one compression slot of the plate causing an application of compressive force to secure the first bone segment and the second bone segment to form a corrective construct. The at least one member is positioned at an angle or an offset from the second plate segment.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2012Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: NEXTREMITY SOLUTIONS, LLCInventors: Lon Weiner, Stuart D. Katchis, John R. Pepper

Publication number: 20130006247Abstract: A method for joining of biological elements is disclosed. A plate is placed over a first segment and a second segment. The plate is attached to the first segment and the second segment. A dowel channel is drilled thru a dowel hole of the plate. A dowel is inserted into the dowel channel, wherein the dowel crosses a joining plane of the first segment and the second segment. A locking screw is placed on a top side of the dowel to lock the dowel in place.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2012Publication date: January 3, 2013Applicant: NEXTREMITY SOLUTIONS, LLCInventor: Lon S.

Publication number: 20120303033Abstract: In a method and system for corrective bunionectomy surgery of a bone, a saw template is positioned at a proximal portion of the bone. The saw template has a plurality of pin holes, for the insertion of pins. The saw template is replaced with a saw block placed over a portion of the plurality of pins. The bone is cut into first and second bone segments based on a position of the saw block. The saw block is removed. A corrective angle is applied to the second bone segment relative to the first bone segment. A mating plate compatible with the corrective angle is positioned over the plurality of pins to join the first bone segment and the second bone segment. A plurality of bone screws is screwed into the mating plate to secure the first bone segment and the second bone segment to form a corrective construct.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2012Publication date: November 29, 2012Applicant: NEXTREMITY SOLUTIONS, LLCInventors: Lon S. Weiner, Stuart D. Katchis
