Patent number: 10786362Abstract: The present invention provides artificial disc prostheses, methods and instrumentation for implantation and revision thereof. Each prosthesis may comprise superior and inferior end plates and a nucleus positioned between articular surfaces of the end plates. The end plates may have planar bone engagement surfaces with a plurality of self-cutting teeth. The articular surfaces of the end plates may be planar or include a flattened portion. The nucleus includes superior and inferior articular surfaces which may comprise flattened portions such that when the articular surfaces of the nucleus and the end plates are placed in cooperation in a preferred orientation, the flattened and/or planar portions are aligned. Each prosthesis may provide flexion/extension, anterior/posterior translation, lateral bending, and/or axial rotation degrees of freedom.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2018Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: SYNERGY DISC REPLACEMENT, INC.Inventors: Neil Duggal, Dylan Matthew Hushka, Joshua A. Butters, Jeffery D. Arnett

Publication number: 20160100936Abstract: A system for graft fixation including ACL graft reconstruction and fixation is presented. The system may comprise a loop fixation device for retaining a tissue graft. The loop fixation device may comprise a graft retention portion and a cortical fixation portion to allow the loop fixation device to rest on the cortical portion of a bone. A tissue graft may pass through a bone tunnel and engage the loop fixation device preventing withdraw of the tissue graft back through the bone tunnel. The system may also include graft fixation within a bone tunnel using a sleeve, or tube construct, with a fixation member, or screw, to engage a tissue graft within the sleeve.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2015Publication date: April 14, 2016Inventors: Brad Anthony Niese, Eric Wall, Yi-Meng Yen, Jeffery D. Arnett, Allen F. Anderson, Mininder Kocher, Theodore J. Ganley, Rebekah Koch, Dylan Matthew Hushka, Ryan Harper
