Patent number: 9168188Abstract: Apparatus and methods for cutting a material, especially with low material speed and high cutting torque. In some embodiments, the apparatus is a hand-held device for quietly cutting through an orthopedic cast with little or no generation of debris. In yet other embodiments, there is a method for automatically advancing material past a shearing surface, such that the shearing action occurs at about the same velocity as the advancement. In yet other embodiments, there is a device for cutting material between a foot and a sharp edge, with the bottom of the foot being under the sharp edge to protect the skin of the patient.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2008Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: OrthoPediatrics CorporationInventors: Paul A. Zwirkoski, Joseph T. Adams, Nick A. Deeter, Gary D. Barnett, Bob von Seggern, Michael C. Jones

Publication number: 20140276820Abstract: An external fixation system for reducing bone fragments, comprising: a substantially rigid frame member at least partially surrounding a fractured bone; a clamping assembly associated with the substantially rigid frame member, the clamping assembly having at least one opening for receiving a bone fixation member that is configured to penetrate the fractured bone; and a polyaxially adjustable pivot housing associated with the substantially rigid frame member, the polyaxially adjustable pivot housing being configured to cause the alignment of the bone fragments to be adjusted in response to a force exerted on the substantially rigid frame member.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2014Publication date: September 18, 2014Inventors: Jeffery T. Cresina, Paul Slagle, Gary D. Barnett, Mark Lester, Mark R. Brinker

Patent number: 8105387Abstract: A prosthetic knee system includes a tibial tray, a non-rotating tibial insert, and a rotating tibial insert. The non-rotating tibial insert and the rotating tibial insert are selectively coupleable to the tibial tray such that a fixed or a mobile orthopaedic prosthesis may be configured. In some embodiments, the tibial tray may be a fixed or mobile tibial tray. Additionally, in some embodiments, the prosthetic knee system may include a femoral component.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2010Date of Patent: January 31, 2012Assignee: DePuy Products, Inc.Inventors: Gary D. Barnett, William P. Barrett, Thomas S. Camino, J. Bohannon Mason, Thomas K. Fehring, Stephen A. Hazebrouck, Steven J. MacDonald

Patent number: 7435263Abstract: A modular long bone prosthesis is provided having a proximal component and a retroversion component. The proximal component is configured at a proximal end to receive a head forming a portion of a joint and is formed at a distal end to mate with additional prosthesis components. The proximal component is formed to simulate an angle inherent in the proximal end of the bone to be replaced and includes an indicator adjacent the distal end to facilitate rotational alignment of the proximal component and additional prosthesis components. The retroversion component includes a proximal end configured to mate with the distal end of the proximal component. The proximal end includes alignment indicia for positioning relative to the indicator on the proximal component.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2003Date of Patent: October 14, 2008Assignee: DePuy Products, Inc.Inventors: Gary D. Barnett, Scott C. Brown, Mark B. Lester
