  • Publication number: 20160345952
    Abstract: Devices and methods are provided for surgical retraction with a minimally invasive, maximum access surgical system. The surgical system can include anchor extensions that can be attached to bone screws. The bone screws can be inserted into a pedicle of a vertebral body. A retractor can be attached to anchor extensions connected to adjacent vertebrae on an operational side, and the retractor can be attached to anchor extensions connected to adjacent vertebrae on a contralateral side. The retractor can be used to distract the vertebral disc space between the adjacent vertebrae.

  • Patent number: 9119613
    Abstract: A carpometacarpal joint replacement system for replacing the trapezium bone in the hand is provided. The system includes a trapezial implant for the carpometacarpal joint resulting in replacement of the carpal trapezium bone with a prosthesis having the same anatomical configuration as the trapezium bone. The implant device comprises a plurality of concave surfaces, with the plurality of concave surfaces articulating with the carpal and metacarpal bones.

  • Publication number: 20100106202
    Abstract: A joint resurfacing system for repairing defects in the articular surface of the distal radioulnar joint. The system includes a hemiarthroplasty implant device for the ulna resulting in minimal removal of the underlying bone. The implant device includes a curved body, an interior surface and an opposed exterior surface, where the interior surface is coupled to an articular surface of an ulna bone. The system also includes a fixation device having a threaded end with the threaded end coupled to the implant device in order to apply a compressive force on the implant device. the fixation device may be selected from either a dynamic fixation device or a static screw device.
