Publication number: 20240122720Abstract: A method of treating a spine includes implanting at least a portion of a spinal construct in a patient. The method further includes attaching one or more smart implants to the spinal construct. Each of the one or more smart implants includes (a) an attachment portion configured to attach the smart implant to the spinal construct, and (b) at least one sensor configured to measure an aspect of the spinal construct when the smart implant is attached to the spinal construct. The method further includes receiving, from the one or more smart implants, sensor information related to the aspect of the spinal construct and performing at least one intra-operational adjustment to the spinal construct based on the received sensor information.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Steven D. Glassman, M.D., Newton H. Metcalf, JR., Jerald L. Redmond, Arjun Siby-Kurian, Adam D. Glaser

Publication number: 20240115206Abstract: A spinal implant includes an attachment portion having an opening configured to capture a longitudinal member therein, wherein the attachment portion is the only attachment means of the spinal implant. The spinal implant further includes a housing integrally connected to the attachment portion and defining a sealed cavity for supporting a microelectronics assembly and a power source therein. The spinal implant further includes at least one antenna in electrical communication with the microelectronics assembly and at least one sensor in electrical communication with the microelectronics assembly, wherein the microelectronics assembly is configured to transmit information received from the at least one sensor to an external device using the at least one antenna.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Steven D. Glassman, M.D., Newton H. Metcalf, JR., Jerald L. Redmond, Arjun Siby-Kurian, Adam D. Glaser

Publication number: 20230301726Abstract: Systems, instruments, and methods for surgical navigation with verification feedback are provided. The systems, instruments, and methods may be used to verify a trajectory of a surgical tool during a procedure. The systems, instruments, and methods may receive one or more captured images of an anatomical portion of a patient; execute a surgical plan to insert the surgical tool into the anatomical portion; receive sensor data collected from one or more sensors being inserted into the anatomical portion; determine whether the sensor data corresponds to the surgical plan; and send, in response to determining that the sensor data does not correspond to the surgical plan, an alert indicating that the surgical tool is not being inserted according to the surgical plan. The one or more sensors may be attached to the surgical tool.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2023Publication date: September 28, 2023Applicant: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Steven D. Glassman, Nicholas Benson, Newton H. Metcalf, JR.

Patent number: 11298162Abstract: A load sensing assembly for a spinal implant includes a set screw having a central opening that extends from a first end of the set screw toward a second end of the set screw. The second end of the set screw is configured to engage with an anchoring member. The load sensing assembly includes an antenna, an integrated circuit in communication with the antenna, where the integrated circuit is positioned within the central opening of the set screw, and a strain gauge in connection with the integrated circuit. The strain gauge is located within the central opening of the set screw in proximity to the second end of the set screw.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2018Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: WARSAW ORTHOPEDIC, INC.Inventors: Nicholas M. Benson, Richard L. Brown, Newton H. Metcalf, Clark B. Norgaard, Steven D. Glassman, Shane Burch, Domagoj Coric, Robert A Fields

Patent number: 11278238Abstract: A system for assessing a spinal disorder includes a wearable electronic device having one or more sensors and an assessment system. The wearable electronic device is configured to be positioned on a portion of a lower back of a wearer, and the one or more sensors are configured to obtain patient data associated with the wearer. The system receives patient data from the one or more sensors, where the patient data includes movement data associated with movement of the lower back of the wearer, classifies the movement data into an initial grouping, further classifies the at least a portion of the movement data into one of the plurality of activity categories, generate a score corresponding to the at least a portion of the movement data based on the activity category to which the movement data is classified, and cause the score to be displayed via a client electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2018Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: WARSAW ORTHOPEDIC, INC.Inventors: Nicholas M. Benson, Richard L. Brown, Newton H. Metcalf, Clark B. Norgaard, Steven D. Glassman, Shane Burch, Domagoj Coric, Robert A. Fields, Seth Georgion, Wing Au
