Patent number: 11266448Abstract: An intramedullary (IM) nail system for the fixation of fractured bones in a patient comprising a nail and compression screws. The length of the body is divided into a distal section and a proximal section with the distal section containing multiple interference sections having a diameter less or greater than that of the body. The threads adjacent the nail head have an apex generally greater than the diameter of the body. The compression screws are dimensioned to be inserted through the bone and contact the nail, pressing it against the bone canal. The nail, once inserted, lies below the surface of the bone.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2019Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: Cidaris Ortho, Inc.Inventors: Thomas E Rushton, Kevin R Desmond, Mark J Warburton

Patent number: 9662153Abstract: A guide assembly for facilitating placement of a fixation member within a medullary canal of a radius is provided. According to one embodiment, a guide assembly includes a guide fastener configured to attach to a fixation member and a guide member configured to receive the guide fastener such that the guide member is secured to the fixation member. The guide assembly also includes an interchangeable distal guide member configured to engage and be disengaged from the guide member. The distal guide member defines a plurality of fastener guide openings for guiding respective fasteners through a plurality of fastener openings defined in the fixation member.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2014Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: Wright Medical Technology, Inc.Inventors: Scott Larsen, Virak Tan, Mark J.

Patent number: 9451971Abstract: An intramedullary fixation assembly usable with different long bone types and a guide assembly for guiding deployment of the intramedullary fixation assembly. The intramedullary fixation assembly includes a fixation member that has ends and a curved body extending between the ends. The curved body of the fixation member has a radius of curvature configured to extend through the medullary canal regardless of the long bone anatomy. Fasteners fix the fixation member to the bone fragments and are guided by a guide assembly. The guide assembly includes a guide body defining openings configured to guide the fasteners through openings defined in the fixation member and into the bone fragments. A fixation end of the guide body includes a pair of opposing, converging surfaces that are configured to engage in a positive fit with an exposed end of the fixation member accessible through the side aperture in the first fragment.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2009Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: Agilent Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Mark J. Warburton, Robert M. Fencl, John T. Capo, Virak Tan, Aaron C. Smith
