Patent number: 12016604Abstract: An example method is provided for maintaining stability to an injury defined by a separation of two bones (e.g., the tibia and fibula), the separation being an injured distance greater than a pre-injury distance between the two bones in a first human patient. The method may include delivering a first apparatus for approximation of the two bones in the first human patient comprising the injury, the first apparatus including a flexible segment disposed between a first anchor and a second anchor. The method may further include maintaining, by the first apparatus, a restored distance between the two bones in the first human patient after a repetitive dynamic loading, the restored distance approximately equal to the pre-injury distance.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2022Date of Patent: June 25, 2024Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventors: Firas Souleiman, Ivan Zderic, Torsten Pastor, Dominic Gehweiler, Boyko Gueorguiev-Rüegg, Michael Swords, Tim Schepers, Matthew Tomlinson, Charles Horrell, Nicholas Mourlas, Jon Thompson, Todd Kent, Jessica Galie

Patent number: 11864804Abstract: An apparatus for the approximation of two bones with a first anchor having a proximal end and a distal end configured for insertion into a first hole in a first bone. A second anchor has a proximal end and a distal end configured for insertion into a second hole in a second bone. A flexible link extends between the first and second anchors limiting a spacing from the first anchor to the second anchor when in a deployed configuration. The first hole comprises a first diameter, the second hole comprises a second diameter and the first diameter is smaller than the second diameter. The second diameter is uniform across the entire length of the second hole.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2021Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventors: Charles Horrell, Nicholas Mourlas, Jon Thompson
