Patent number: 8425562Abstract: A dynamic stabilization system for use with a spinal motion segment includes a first bone anchor assembly, a second bone anchor assembly, a resilient element, and a sheath. The resilient element includes an end portion engageable with the first bone anchor assembly and a resilient portion engageable with the second bone anchor assembly. The resilient element provides resilient resistance when the first and second bone anchor assemblies are moved toward one another and provides no resistance and is separable from the second bone anchor assembly when the first and second bone anchor assemblies are moved away from one another. The sheath surrounds the resilient portion and articulation surface of the second bone anchor assembly.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2009Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Greg C. Marik, Julien J. Prevost, Jayant Jangra, Henry K. Bonin, Jr.

Patent number: 8206419Abstract: A dynamic stabilization device, system, and method for use with a spinal motion segment includes a first bone anchor assembly, a second bone anchor assembly, a first articulation element and a second articulation element. The first articulation element includes an end portion engageable with the first bone anchor assembly, a first articulation surface, and a resilient element therebetween. The first articulation surface is separably engageable with a second articulation surface associated with the second articulation element. The resilient element provides resilient resistance when the first and second bone anchor assemblies are moved toward one another and provides no resistance and is separable from the second bone anchor assembly when the first and second bone anchor assemblies are moved away from one another.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2009Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Greg C. Marik, Julien J. Prevost, Jayant Jangra, Henry K. Bonin, Jr.

Publication number: 20110218574Abstract: A vertebral construct includes a first fastening element having a first portion and a second portion configured for engagement with tissue. A rod defines an elongated cavity configured to facilitate dynamic translation of the first portion therein relative to the rod. A second fastening element has a first portion fixedly connected to the rod. Methods of use are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2010Publication date: September 8, 2011Applicant: WARSAW ORTHOPEDIC, INC.Inventors: Henry K. Bonin, JR., Greg C. Marik, Thomas A. Carls

Patent number: 7357139Abstract: A stair-adjustable crutch characterized by an adjusting cuff having a cone with an elongated or extended, flared and offset lip and lip receptacle provided in the crutch foot to facilitate selective angular adjustment of the crutch foot and frame from an aligned configuration. This adjustment is effected by manipulation of a rod fitted with a pair of spaced-apart, wishbone-shaped legs extending into the cone, which legs are provided with shaped tabs or locks for selectively entering and exiting spaced-apart sets of vertical and angled slots in the cone of the adjusting cuff. Up and down movement of the adjusting rod facilitates both selective conventional operation of the crutch with the crutch foot in linear alignment, and angling of the crutch frame and upper crutch foot at the adjusting cuff with respect to the crutch foot below the adjusting cuff, to adjust the user's weight and more safely ascend and descend steps and stairs.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2005Date of Patent: April 15, 2008Inventor: Henry K. Bonin, Jr.
