Patent number: 11918479Abstract: A prosthetic system for implantation between upper and lower vertebrae having an upper joint component and a lower joint component. The joint is adapted for implantation within a disc space between the upper and lower vertebrae, allowing the upper and lower vertebrae to move relative to one another. The system further includes a bridge component extending posteriorly from the lower joint component and from the disc space, with the bridge component having a lower contact surface configured for engaging a resected bone surface of a pedicle of the lower vertebrae. The distal end of the bridge component comprises a connection component adapted to receive a fastener.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2020Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: 3SPINE, INC.Inventors: Thomas Carls, Eric Lange, Danny Braddock, Jr., Steven C Humphreys, Scott D Hodges, Richard G Fessler, Jeffrey Zhang

Patent number: 10631995Abstract: A prosthetic system for implantation between upper and lower vertebrae comprises an upper joint component. The upper joint component comprises an upper contact surface and an upper articulation surface. The system further includes a lower joint component. The lower joint component comprises a lower contact surface and a lower articulation surface configured to movably engage the upper articulation surface to form an articulating joint. The articulating joint is adapted for implantation within a disc space between the upper and lower vertebrae, allowing the upper and lower vertebrae to move relative to one another. The system further includes a bridge component extending posteriorly from one of either the upper or lower joint components and from the disc space. The bridge component has a distal end opposite the one of the either upper or lower joint components. The distal end of the bridge component comprises a connection component adapted to receive a fastener.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2017Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: 3SPINE SEZCInventors: Thomas Carls, Eric Lange, Danny Braddock, Jr., Steven C.

Patent number: 8118873Abstract: An artificial vertebral joint for interposition between a superior vertebra and an inferior vertebra comprises a pair of bilateral joint subcomponents. Each joint subcomponent includes a superior component including a superior vertebra engaging surface and an inferior component including an inferior vertebra engaging surface. Each joint subcomponent further includes a spacer extending between the superior component and the inferior component. The spacer includes a first modulus of elasticity and a second modulus of elasticity. The first modulus transitions to the second modulus with a gradient change.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2008Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Steven C. Humphreys, Scott D. Hodges, Eric C. Lange, Danny Braddock, Jr., Hai H. Trieu
