Publication number: 20230092452Abstract: A surgical technique can be performed utilizing a detachable driver-implant system and comparatively small surgical incision. The clinician can make an incision through the skin of the patient and retract the skin along the incision to expose a first bone region. The clinician can insert an implant into one or more bone portions using a detachable driver-implant system and then detach the driver, leaving the implant in the one or more bone portions. The clinician can reposition the skin of the patient at least partially over the end of the implant to expose a second bone region not exposed while the first bone region was exposed. After optionally performing one or more surgical steps on second bone region, the clinician can reposition the skin to again expose the first bone region. The clinician can then reattach the driver to the implant and remove the implant from the bone portions.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2022Publication date: March 23, 2023Inventors: Adam DeBosier, Michael Stedham, Robert Santrock, William T. DeCarbo, W. Bret Smith, Daniel Hatch, Paul Dayton, Jody McAleer

Publication number: 20230043129Abstract: A metatarsus adductus technique may involve cutting an end of one or both of a second metatarsal and an intermediate cuneiform to create a wedge-shaped opening between the end of the second metatarsal and the intermediate cuneiform. The method may further involve cutting an end of one or both of a third metatarsal and a lateral cuneiform to also create a wedge-shaped opening between the end of the third metatarsal and the lateral cuneiform. The second metatarsal and the third metatarsal can then be moved in a transverse plane to close a metatarsus adductus angle. Movement of the second and third metatarsal may close the wedge-shaped openings forming during bone cutting. With the second and third metatarsals appropriately realigned, the clinician can fixate the moved position of the second metatarsal and the third metatarsal.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2022Publication date: February 9, 2023Inventors: Jody McAleer, William DeCarbo, Daniel Hatch, Paul Dayton, Robert Santrock, W. Bret Smith, Adriaan Kuyler, Sean Scanlan

Publication number: 20230004141Abstract: A method of electronically displaying glyphs. The method includes receiving a glyph spacing, moving a first glyph toward a second glyph along an axis, identifying an intersection of a first axis coordinate of the first glyph with a second axis coordinate of the second glyph, and moving at least one of the glyphs along the axis to separate the first and second axis coordinates of the respective first and second glyphs by the glyph spacing.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2022Publication date: January 5, 2023Applicant: Cricut, Inc.Inventors: George Willard Keenan, Jim Allen Colby, Matthew B. Strong, Daniel Torgerson, Garth Braithwaite, Daniel Hatch, Andrew Branch, Randall Wright, Sean Thayne, Emerson Tyler Wright, Jeremiah Stephenson, Mark Miles, Mac Sims

Publication number: 20220226028Abstract: A method of applying a bone plate across a tarsometatarsal joint or two different portions of a metatarsal may involve positioning a bone plate across a separation between two bone portions. The bone plate can have at least two fixation holes and a bend between the holes. A locking screw can be inserted through one or both holes that has a head thread and a shaft thread, where the shaft thread has a pitch greater than a pitch of the head thread. The locking screw can be screwed into an underlying bone portion until the bend in the bone plate is deformed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2022Publication date: July 21, 2022Inventors: Paul Dayton, Daniel Hatch, Jason May, Sean Scanlan, Joe Ferguson
