Patent number: 10322002Abstract: A veterinary hip resurfacing prosthetic system includes a femoral cap and an acetabular cup. The cup shell has a thickness of less than 2 mm and a liner in the shell has a thickness of less than 2.5 mm in order to accommodate a larger femoral cap. Further included are features for preventing rotation of the liner relative to the shell, for releasably locking the liner in the shell, and for accessing the liner to remove it from the shell.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2017Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: MWI Veterinary Supply Co.Inventor: Andrew J. Kazanovicz

Patent number: 10258396Abstract: A bone plate is dimensioned for securing the rotated cut segment of an upper tibia to the lower portion of the tibia as part of a tibial leveling osteotomy procedure for an animal. The bone plate includes an elongated shaft, a head portion pre-bent with respect to the elongated shaft, and a transition between the elongated shaft and head portion including opposing concave sidewalls. The elongated shaft has a centerline and the pre-bent head portion has a centerline angled with respect to the centerline of the elongated shaft to dispose the elongated shaft collinear or approximately collinear with respect to the lower portion of the tibia and to better fit the head portion to the rotated cut segment of the upper tibia.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2016Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: MWI Veterinary Supply Co.Inventors: Andrew J. Kazanovicz, David J. Anderson, III
