Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of creating and managing residential net leases in which a net lease network determines the parameters of a residential net lease for properties located in certain regions, cities, or towns. The net lease network autopopulates approved terms to generate a residential net lease agreement document. The net lease network record, in a reserve database, accounting for amounts remunerated to respective owners and collected from respective tenants per a rent schedule and accountings for amounts remunerated to investors based on determined profit margins over term of lease.

Abstract: A spinal implant is inserted between adjacent vertebrae to function as an disk prosthesis. The prosthesis has two plates fastened to adjacent vertebrae facing each other. The facing sides of the plates each have a depending skirt formed as concentric arcs of about 90 degrees. The skirts are either bowed or tapered in the axial direction. Depressions are centrally located between the arcs of the plates and a ball is universally movable in the depressions. A spring mechanism is centrally located in the plates to provide axial compression. One plate has a through bore and one plate has a receptacle, each, receiving a sleeve with a depression for holding the ball.

Abstract: The instant invention provides a modular shoulder prosthesis. The prosthesis includes an intramedullary rod element which is to be inserted in a bone. The proximal portion of the rod includes a self-holding taper which is telescoped into one end of a bore in the body element. The mating tapered surfaces of the rod and the body bore form a rotationally movable connection. Whereby the body of the prosthesis may be rotationally positioned after insertion of the rod. A neck element having a shaped protrusion is telescoped into a cavity in the other end of the body bore to prevent rotational movement therebetween. A threaded fastener provides a drawing force to lock all of the components together into a fixed orientation.

Abstract: The present invention provides a linear fastening system capable of rapid engagement and disengagement. More specifically, the system utilizes a cooperating collet member and a compression ring member which are constructed and arranged to slip easily over a shank member. The fastener system is secured by linearly traversing a compression member in an overlapping fashion over the collet member thereby utilizing ribbed surfaces to compress the collet member to grip the outer surface of the shank member. In this manner, the linear fastener system is capable of providing a precise, secure, and reproducible connection between multiple components without the need to apply rotational torque to the assembly.

Abstract: A constrained spinal implant is inserted between adjacent vertebrae to function as an disk prosthesis. The prosthesis has two plates fastened to adjacent vertebrae facing each other. The facing sides of the plates each have a depending skirt formed as concentric arcs of about 90 degrees. The skirts are either bowed or tapered in the axial direction. Depressions are centrally located between the arcs of the plates and a ball is universally movable in the depressions.

Abstract: The present invention provides a linear locking set screw system capable of rapid linear engagement and disengagement. More specifically, the system utilizes a threaded outwardly expandable set screw and an expander member which are constructed and arranged to thread easily into a threaded aperture while in a first release position and can thereafter be securely locked in place and/or provide a secondary clamping force in a second engaged position. In this manner, the linear fastener system is capable of providing a precise, secure, and reproducible connection between multiple components without the need to apply rotational torque to the assembly.

Abstract: A bone plate for stabilizing adjacent vertebrae or ends of a bone having a span for extending across the discontinuity. The span has brackets for attaching to the bone. The brackets have countersunk apertures terminating through which bone screws are placed in the bone. An cam bore is located between the countersunk apertures and a cam with lobe surfaces is positioned in the cam bore. Upon rotation of the cam, the lobe surfaces engage an end of the wedge shoes and move them so that the other end of the wedge shoes move into the countersunk apertures and frictionally engage the heads of the bone screws. The wedge shoe is provided with means to lock the cam in position. The wedge shoe is also provided with means to indicate that the shoe has completely engaged the head of the bone screw in the countersunk aperture.

Abstract: A bone plate kit for stabilizing adjacent vertebrae or ends of a bone includes several bone plates of different sizes and several bone fasteners of the same or different sizes. The fasteners may have the same configuration or several different configurations. The fasteners may be coated with bone growth material. The plates have a span for extending across a discontinuity. The span has brackets for attaching to the bone. The brackets have countersunk apertures terminating through which bone screws are placed in the bone. An eccentric cam bore is located between the countersunk apertures and, upon rotation of an eccentric cam, wedge grip shoes are slid into the countersunk apertures and frictionally engage the spherical heads of the bone screws. To prevent back-out of the bone screws, the eccentric cam is locked into the wedge grip shoes.

Abstract: A hip prosthesis has a neck, a trochanter, a link, and an intramedullary rod. The intramedullary rod and the link are formed as a sub-assembly connected together endwise by a universal joint formed as a tubular extension. The link is telescoped into the trochanter and the neck, successively. A bolt is threaded into a threaded bore in one end of the link and draws the intramedullary rod and link into the trochanter resulting in an immovable press fit.

Abstract: One method of reducing fractures in long bones is to insert an intramedullary screw through the bone canal across the fracture and deploy tangs to increase the purchase of the screw. Compression is then applied along the screw to bring the broken bone together. An improved low cost lag screw has a cannulated shaft with a shaped bore in the leading end. A similarly shaped tang body is movably disposed in the leading end bore. The tang body has several tangs laser welded about the periphery and extending from the tang body. The shaped surfaces of the bore have exit holes and the ends of the tangs are adjacent the holes. An end cap is laser welded to the leading end of the shaft.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to spinal fixation assemblies for use in spinal fixation constructs. The final fixation assemblies include fastening arrangements for clamping components of the assemblies at desired positions. The fastening arrangements are moved from pre-finally clamped orientations to finally clamped orientations through the use of linear force. An installation tool can be used to inhibit linear force from being transferred to the patient.

Abstract: A low profile orthopedic device is used to fix and stabilize bones to correct anomalies in skeletal structure occurring naturally or by trauma. Bone screws are screwed into bones by application of torque. Clamps are movably attached to the screws. Each clamp includes a compression ring. A connecting rod connects several screws through slots in the clamps. The clamps are tightened to hold the rod and the heads in a pre-selected position by linear movement of the compression rings.

Abstract: An adjustable spinal fixation system is composed of a collection of anchoring assemblies attached, via a variety of connectors, to spine-stabilizing rods. The anchoring assemblies include a linking member attached in a ball-and-socket fashion to a bone-engaging member that is adapted to engage a spinal bone of a patient. The linking member joins one of the included connectors to an associated bone-engaging member. The connectors are selectively attached to one of the stabilizing rods. The anchoring assemblies each include a support collar and a split retention ring that cooperate to allow adjustment of the bone-engaging member and corresponding connector during surgery. When surgery is complete, a linear engaging fastener cooperates with the support collar and split retention ring to maintain the relative position of the entire fixation system, preventing unwanted movement between the system components.
