  • Patent number: 10675154
    Abstract: The present invention refers to an osteochondral local prosthetic insert for partial humeral joint reconstitution by reconstitution of the bone anatomical sphericity to treat bone lesions, in particular Hill-Sachs lesions. The local osteochondral prosthetic insert is a rigid monolithic body having a truncated-cone shape, the proximal diameter greater than the distal diameter, the proximal end of convex shape and rounded at the corners, and a tapered distal end. The lateral surface of the insert shows in the middle-distal part a non-return shaping that allows the maintenance of the position defined in the surgical operation. The proximal end is convex in order to better adapt to the local bone sphericity and has recesses for the manipulation and positioning through dedicated tools.

  • Patent number: 10159504
    Abstract: A surgical assembly, the assembly including a first guidewire, a second guidewire, in which each of the first guidewire and the second guidewire are configured to be received by a bone block, a first suture loop, a second suture loop, a first locking component, and a second locking component, in which the first locking component is coupled to the first suture loop and the second locking component is coupled to the second suture loop.

  • Patent number: 10143507
    Abstract: A surgical assembly includes a first guidewire and a second guidewire, in which each of the first guidewire and the second guidewire are configured to be received by a bone block, a first suture loop, a second suture loop, a first locking component, and a second locking component, in which the first locking component is coupled to the first suture loop and the second locking component is coupled to the second suture loop. The locking component has a hole formed therethrough, in which the hole of the locking component is configured to receive the suture, and may be tethered to a suture by knots engaging a counterbore at opposed ends of a bore defined by the hole.

  • Publication number: 20170112625
    Abstract: Methods for arthroscopic bone graft for anterior inferior glenohumeral instability repair are disclosed. The method includes providing a bone graft not attached to soft tissue. Respective passageways are formed through the bone graft and a patient's glenoid. A first implant is further provided, where the first implant is secured to a first end of a suture. The first implant is positioned on the cortical side of the bone graft and the cancellous surface of the bone graft is urged into contact with the anterior surface of the glenoid. A second implant is provided, including an eyelet extending there through. The second end of the suture is inserted through the eyelet of the second implant. The second implant is further placed in contact with the posterior surface of the glenoid. Subsequently, the second end of the suture is secured to the second implant.
