Patent number: 11944361Abstract: A bone plate system is designed for use on a bone, which may be a humerus. The system includes an elongated bone plate extending along a longitudinal axis, the bone plate having an upper surface, an opposed bone-facing surface, and a boundary edge of the bone plate; and at least one threaded fastener hole extending from the upper surface to the bone-facing surface. The fastener holes are designed to receive a bone fastener to couple the bone plate to the bone. A plurality of first suture-receiving structures are connected with the bone plate and project from the boundary edge of the bone plate, so that the first suture-receiving structures are spaced from each another along the boundary edge of the bone plate. Each of the first suture-receiving structures comprises a wire loop anchored to the upper surface or to the bone-facing surface of the bone plate.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2019Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventors: Ross Hamel, Glen Pierson, Peter Van Citters, George Mikhail

Publication number: 20230255778Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to condylar implant assemblies and methods for inserting an implant assembly for supporting the condylar head of a bone. More particularly the disclosure relates to an implant assembly for use in support of the condyle of a humerus, femur, or other bones having a condyle comprising spongy bone. In some implementations, the implant assembly may be inserted into the head of the bone and bands of a dilating member of the implant assembly may be expanded through slots in a tube of the implant assembly for supporting the condylar head of the bone.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2022Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventor: Ross Hamel

Publication number: 20210361378Abstract: In one example a method of fracture reduction includes imaging, intraoperatively, a fractured bone of a patient to obtain a first representation of the fractured bone in a computing system. The fractured bone defines at least a first bone fragment, and a second bone fragment that is separated from the first bone fragment by a fracture. The method includes imaging, intraoperatively, a contralateral bone of the patient to obtain a second representation of the contralateral bone in the computing system. The method includes generating, intraoperatively in the computing system, a mirrored representation of the first representation or the second representation. The first representation is compared to a representation of a desired orientation of the fractured bone, where the representation of the desired orientation is the mirrored representation of the second representation.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2021Publication date: November 25, 2021Inventors: Christopher CAMPBELL, Glen PIERSON, Ross HAMEL
