Patent number: 10716603Abstract: Various modular implants and modular implant systems are disclosed herein, as are methods of implanting the same. The modular implant systems can include modular implants that are stacked on each other to define a modular implant system, which in an example can be used to replace or augment a void in bone. The modular implants can interact with an intramedullary implant to, for instance, assist with a fusion procedure.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2018Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: Biomet Manufacturing, LLCInventors: William Scott Van Dyke, Frank A Liporace, Dan Dziadosz, Jordan Grossman, Jordi Asuncion Marquez, Paul Thomas Slagle, George J Haidukewych, David Thordarson

Patent number: 10675067Abstract: A system including an intramedullary nail and an insert dimensioned to be positioned within the intramedullary nail. The insert can include a rotating component configured to rotate about a rotational axis transverse to a longitudinal axis of the intramedullary nail. The insert can be configured to receive a bone screw, rotate about the rotational axis as the bone screw is positioned at a selected angle of a plurality of angles relative to the intramedullary nail, and lock the bone screw at the selected angle.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2018Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: Biomet Manufacturing, LLCInventors: William Scott Van Dyke, Paul Thomas Slagle

Patent number: 10172646Abstract: The present disclosure provides a clamp. The clamp can include a first clamp member, a second clamp member, and a lever. The first clamp member can include a first gripping surface. The second clamp member can include a second gripping surface. The lever can be connected to the first clamp member and can define a cam located proximate the first clamp member. The lever can be pivotable between a first position and a second position. A transition from the first position to the second position can cause the cam to move the second clamp member towards the first clamp member.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2016Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: Biomet Manufacturing, LLCInventor: Paul Thomas Slagle

Publication number: 20160270822Abstract: Disclosed is an external fixation system. The external fixation system can comprise a ring frame, a strut, and a pivot housing connecting the strut to the ring frame. The pivot housing can comprise a first compression member, a second compression member, and a post assembly. The first compression member can be attached to the ring frame. The second compression member can be spaced from the first compression member and attached to the first compression member. The post assembly can be connected to the strut via an attachment post protruding from a spherical component and passing through the first compression member. The spherical component can be compressed between the first compression member and the second compression member to retain the post assembly in a fixed position.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2016Publication date: September 22, 2016Inventors: Jeffery Cresina, Paul Thomas Slagle, Kevin T. Stone, Jacy C. Hoeppner
