Patent number: 11850156Abstract: The present invention relates generally to implants and tools for the fixation or fusion of joints or bone segments. These tools include tissue dilators and protectors. Other tools include broaches used to shape bores in bone. The tools can also include a system for removing an implant from bone. Implants can include assemblies of one or more implant structures that make possible the achievement of diverse interventions involving the fusion and/or stabilization of lumbar and sacral vertebra in a non-invasive manner, with minimal incision, and without the necessitating the removing the intervertebral disc. Implants for fusing both sacroiliac joints of a patient include a long implant that extends across both sacroiliac joints.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2023Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: SI-Bone Inc.Inventors: Richard G. Mauldin, Ralph F. Rashbaum, Mark A. Reiley, Scott A. Yerby, Paul M. Sand, Bret W. Schneider, Jose Rodriguez, Nicanor Domingo, Joanne Leung

Publication number: 20230270559Abstract: Bone implants, including methods of use and assembly. The bone implants, which are optionally composite implants, generally include a distal anchoring region and a growth region that is proximal to the distal anchoring region. The distal anchoring region can have one or more distal surface features that adapt the distal anchoring region for anchoring into iliac bone. The growth region can have one or more growth features that adapt the growth region to facilitate at least one of bony on-growth, in-growth, or through-growth. The implants may be positioned along a posterior sacral alar-iliac (“SAT”) trajectory. The implants may be coupled to one or more bone stabilizing constructs, such as rod elements thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2023Publication date: August 31, 2023Inventors: Ali H.

Patent number: 11369419Abstract: The present invention generally relates to bone implants. More specifically, the present invention relates to bone implants used for the fixation and or fusion of the sacroiliac joint and/or the spine. For example, a system for fusing and or stabilizing a plurality of bones is provided. The system includes an implant structure having a shank portion, a body portion and a head portion. The body portion is coupled to the shank portion and is configured to be placed through a first bone segment, across a bone joint or fracture and into a second bone segment. The body portion is configured to allow for bony on-growth, ingrowth and through-growth. The head portion is coupled to the proximal end of the shank portion and is configured to couple the shank portion to a stabilizing rod. Methods of use are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2019Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: SI-Bone Inc.Inventors: Ali H. Mesiwala, Frank M. Phillips, David W. Polly, Phillip J.

Patent number: 9138219Abstract: Embodiments relate to implantable devices for the treatment of syndesmosis injuries. Embodiments include a first anchor attachable to a first bone, the first anchor being coupled to a flexible component, the flexible component in turn being coupled to a base component. The base component may be rigid, and may be externally threaded for engaging with a second anchor. Position of the second anchor may be adjusted by rotating the second anchor with respect to the base component, thereby adjusting relative position of the two bones. An assembly may be created in which an outer tube contains the flexible component and the base component inside the outer tube, and at its distal end the outer tube may engage the first anchor so as to allow transmission of torque. The outer tube may be withdrawn proximally after implantation of the first anchor. The bones may be a tibia and a fibula.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2011Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: Tarsus Medical Inc.Inventors: Chuck Horrell, Paul M. Sand, Peter Keith, Trevor Lofthouse, Nick Mourlas, John Avi Roop, Jason W. Lettmann
