Patent number: 10722310Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein. According to one example, the method can comprise imaging a target location of an anatomy of a patient to collect image data regarding at least one of a bone size, a bone orientation and a bone shape of the patient, displaying based upon the collected image data one or more patient-specific characteristics of the anatomy of the patient, and determining one or more of a size, a shape and an orientation for at least one bone graft based at least in part upon the one or more patient-specific characteristics of the anatomy of the patient. The method can convert the one or more patient-specific characteristics of the anatomy of the patient to a setting for a cutting instrument.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2018Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: Zimmer Biomet CMF and Thoracic, LLCInventor: Ryan Luby

Patent number: 10286532Abstract: A fastener cartridge can be used with a shaft of a tool during an orthopedic procedure. The fastener cartridge can have a main housing that can be attached to fastener housing including a fastener chamber and a backstop component. The fastener chamber includes a plurality of non-flexible tabs and the backstop component includes a plurality of resiliently flexible tabs. The fastener housing is configured to include a plurality of fasteners that are arranged therein such that the longitudinal axes of the fastener chamber and the plurality of fasteners are collinear. The plurality non-flexible tabs prevent one of the fasteners from inadvertently passing entirely out of an outlet of the fastener chamber and the plurality of resiliently flexible tabs allow the fasteners to move axially in the first direction and restrict movement of the fasteners in a second direction opposite the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2016Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: Zimmer Biomet CMF and Thoracic, LLCInventors: Saddy Garcia, James Licht, Myles Tonkinson, Kerwin Suarez, Lawrence Jene Chadwell, Ryan Luby, Nicolai Ussin, Rachel Hale, Brian Lamothe

Patent number: 9962169Abstract: A surgical device of a drill/driver with bit recognition to set a desired application mode and a method of utilization thereof is provided. Various operating modes of the drill/driver are automatically set by a sensor which recognizes the bit applied to the drill/driver. A method of utilizing the drill/driver allows the drill driver to apply surgical screws at very high speeds while automatically preventing excessive torque levels that would strip out the surgical screw from the patient's bone.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2017Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: Zimmer Biomet CMF and Thoracic, LLCInventors: Saddy Garcia, Bradley Winterroth, Ryan Luby, Larry Miller, Christopher C.

Patent number: 9801672Abstract: A closure system may secure a first bone portion to a second bone portion. The closure system may include a bracket, a band and a tensioning device. The bracket may include a first portion adapted to engage the first bone portion and a second portion adapted to engage the second bone portion. The band may engage the bracket and may be adapted to be looped around the first and second bone portions. The tensioning device may include a body and a threaded member. The threaded member may be received in the body and may engage the band such that rotation of the threaded member relative to the body moves a first end of the band relative to a second end of the band.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2016Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: Zimmer Biomet CMF and Thoracic, LLCInventors: Saddy Garcia, Ryan Luby, Bryan Wilcox, Aurelien Bruneau, Scott Sidwell
