Publication number: 20140100664Abstract: An implant for carpal hemiarthroplasty includes an articular component having a convex articular surface shaped to generally conform to an unresected distal end of a radius bone. A bearing component is rigidly fixed to the articular component opposite the convex articular surface and has a bearing surface. A carpal plate is rotatably attachable to the bearing component and has a proximal surface and a distal surface. The proximal surface has a contour that substantially conforms to the bearing surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2012Publication date: April 10, 2014Applicant: Small Bone Innovations, Inc.Inventor: David A. Leibel

Publication number: 20140025127Abstract: An ankle fusion device has a proximal portion generally aligned with a first longitudinal axis. The proximal portion includes a proximal end and a first fastener hole. The proximal portion has an arcuate curve such that the proximal end is spaced a distance from the first longitudinal axis in a first direction. The first fastener hole is configured to receive a first fastener along a first fastener axis. A distal portion of the ankle fusion device extends to a distal end from the proximal portion along a second longitudinal axis. The second longitudinal axis is angled in second and third directions relative to the first longitudinal axis. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the third direction being opposite the first direction. The distal portion includes a second fastener hole configured to receive a second fastener along a second fastener axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2013Publication date: January 23, 2014Applicant: Small Bone Innovations, Inc.Inventors: Martinus Richter, James DeOrio, Oliver Frick, Christophe Geisert, Thomas Loring, Stephen Gilbert, Victor Chan, Michael Pinzur
