Eric Greber has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • TENSOR DEVICE FOR REVISION KNEE ARTHROPLASTY
    Publication number: 20250040945
    Abstract: Systems and methods may use a tensor device in various aspects of a knee revision. For example, the tensor device may include a femoral arm configured to couple with an end portion of a femoral intramedullary canal reamer and a tibial arm moveably connected to the femoral arm, the tibial arm configured to couple with an end portion of a tibial intramedullary canal reamer. The tensor device may include a component or be used to identify a knee gap or a component size for an implant.

  • REVISION ROBOTICS
    Publication number: 20250032205
    Abstract: Systems and methods may be used for performing a robotic revision knee arthroplasty. For example, a robotic surgical device may be used to perform a cut. The cut may be planned to remove an existing implant based on information about the existing implant (e.g., reference points on the existing implant, an implant type, a maker of the implant, degradation information about the implant, a failure reason for the implant, or the like). In an example, a new plan may be developed for a new implant to replace the existing implant.
