Patent number: 11134988Abstract: In an example, a clamping assembly includes a longitudinal member having a first end and a second end, the second end defining a first clamp, a second clamp configured to attach to the first end of the longitudinal member and connect to a rod assembly, a clamping member including a first end, a second end defining a spherical portion, and a third clamp, where the first clamp of the longitudinal member is configured to receive the second end of the clamping member.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2019Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: Zimmer, Inc.Inventors: Nathan Erickson, Nathan Plowman, Neil Etherington, Andrew R. Fauth, Jason W. Nascone, Robert O'Toole, Thomas Myers, Russell M. Parrott

Patent number: 10433873Abstract: External fixation systems, and methods for immobilizing joints or fractured bones. An external fixation system may include one or more clamp assemblies connected to one or more rod assemblies at polyaxial joints. Each rod assembly may be length adjustable, and may include a one-way locking mechanism to provisionally lock the length of the rod assembly, and additional locking mechanisms to permanently lock the length of the rod assembly. The system may be deployed pre-assembled as a unit to immobilize a joint or fracture. Another external fixation system further includes a spanning member extending transverse to the rod assemblies. Two or more external fixation systems may be deployed in a stacked configuration on one set of bone pins to immobilize two joints and/or fractures. The systems may be provided in kits including guiding instrumentation, bone pins and pin clamping assemblies for connecting the bone pins to the external fixation systems.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2018Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: Zimmer, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Myers, Robert V. O'Toole, Jason W. Nascone, Douglas M. Lorang, Andrew Fauth, Daniel J. Triplett
