Publication number: 20070125016Abstract: An upright space-dividing wall panel with a rigid interior frame, and a cover attached to the frame for covering the interior thereof. The frame includes a first pair of horizontal rails defining top and bottom sides, and a second pair of upright rails defining right and left sides. Corner members are disposed at the frame corners, with each corner member being rigidly joined between adjacent ends of the horizontal and upright rails. The corner member is a one-piece L-shaped member having a box-shaped corner block and horizontal and vertical leg parts cantilevered outwardly from respective transverse side faces of the corner block. Each side face defines a shoulder which surrounds the respective leg part. The leg parts are each telescoped into one end of a respective rail with a fixed engagement so that the rail abuts the respective shoulder.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2005Publication date: June 7, 2007Inventors: Shawn Yu, Robert Tuttle, Bryan Gingrich

Patent number: 6977000Abstract: A modular trial neck segment is utilized for trialing a hip prosthesis for a total hip arthroplasty. The modular trial neck segment is preferably, but not necessarily, utilized for trialing a hip prosthesis for a total hip arthroplasty. The trial neck segment includes a mount attachable to a stem or broach, and a neck that is translatable on the mount for providing various neck offsets with respect to the mount and/or broach. Neck offset is changed via movement of the neck in a single plane of motion. This facilitates the use of the subject invention in minimally invasive arthroplasty wherein working dimensions are small. The present design replicates the biomechanics of the neck region of the implant. The mount and slidable neck provide a plurality of neck offsets and/or neck lengths for trialing a final prosthesis in a single device.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2003Date of Patent: December 20, 2005Assignee: DePuy products, Inc.Inventors: Thomas M. Vanasse, David Robert Tuttle, Marc Gary Weissman
