  • Methods and devices for treating fractured and/or diseased bone using a mesh structure
    Patent number: 8317865
    Abstract: A percutaneous path is established into a selected bone having an interior volume occupied, at least in part, by a cancellous bone, e.g., a vertebral body. An expandable mesh structure is introduced into the cancellous bone by deployment of a tool through the percutaneous path into the cancellous bone. The expandable mesh structure is expanded within cancellous bone by conveying a material into the mesh structure. Expansion of the mesh structure can, e.g., compact cancellous bone, and/or form a cavity in cancellous bone, and/or move fractured cortical bone.

  • Methods for treating a fractured and/or diseased and/or weakened bone
    Patent number: 8246681
    Abstract: Introduction of a bone filler material into at least a portion of the cancellous bone volume pressurizes the bone filler material and compresses the cancellous bone volume within the bone structure.

  • Methods and devices for treating fractured and/or diseased bone using an expandable stent structure
    Patent number: 8226717
    Abstract: A percutaneous path is established into a selected bone having an interior volume occupied, at least in part, by a cancellous bone, e.g., a vertebral body. An expandable stent structure is introduced into the cancellous bone by deployment of a tool through the percutaneous path into the cancellous bone. The expandable stent structure is expanded within cancellous bone.

  • Methods for treating fractured and/or diseased bone by introduction of different bone filling materials
    Patent number: 8152813
    Abstract: A percutaneous path is established into a selected bone, e.g., a vertebral body, having an interior volume occupied, at least in part, by cancellous bone. A first bone filling material is conveyed through the percutaneous path into a region of the cancellous bone. A second bone filling material is conveyed through the percutaneous path into the region. The second bone filling material is different than the first bone filling material.

  • Methods and devices for treating fractured and/or diseased bone using an expandable structure that remains within the bone
    Patent number: 7967827
    Abstract: A percutaneous path is created into a bone having an interior volume occupied, at least in part, by a cancellous bone, e.g., a vertebral body. An expandable structure is introduced into the cancellous bone by deployment of a tool through the percutaneous path into the cancellous bone. The expandable structure is expanded and the tool withdrawn, leaving the expandable structure expanded inside the cancellous bone. Expansion of the expandable structure within cancellous bone can, e.g., compact cancellous bone, and/or create a cavity in cancellous bone, and/or move fractured cortical bone.

  • Methods and devices for treating bone after high velocity and/or trauma fracture
    Patent number: 7959638
    Abstract: An expandable body is inserted into an area of cancellous within a vertebral body through a percutaneous access path. A bone filler is conveyed into the expandable body to expand the expandable body and displace cancellous bone and create a cavity occupied at least in part by the expandable body and the bone filler. The expandable body and the bone filler are left within the cavity to strengthen the vertebral body.

  • Systems and methods for treating a fractured and/or diseased and/or weakened bone
    Publication number: 20080140079
    Abstract: A first tool establishes a percutaneous path into the vertebral body having an interior volume occupied, at least in part, by cancellous bone. The vertebral body has at least one cortical plate that is depressed due to fracture. A source of bone filling material has a viscosity that resists extravazation into cancellous bone, and a second tool conveys the bone filling material through the percutaneous path to move the fractured cortical plate toward a desired anatomic position. A third tool can be provided that is sized and configured for introduction through the percutaneous path and including an operative element that conditions cancellous bone for the introduction of the bone filling material.

  • Methods for treating a fractured and/or diseased and/or weakened bone
    Publication number: 20080140084
    Abstract: A vertebral body having an interior volume occupied, at least in part, by cancellous bone is selected for treatment. A percutaneous path is established into the vertebral body. A tool is introduced through the percutaneous path that creates a cavity in the cancellous bone. A bone filling material is conveyed to substantially fill the cavity. The bone filling material is pressurized within the cavity to enlarge the cavity.
