Patent number: 8814880Abstract: A device for removable attachment to a bone of a living patient, useful as a mounting support for a trackable part of a computerized surgical navigation system and a method for attaching an object removably to a bone of a living patient. A shaft having a self drilling, self-tapping screw tip can be inserted transversely of the bone and securely screwed into the cortex. A screw drives a sharp-edged sleeve along the shaft to engage the near cortex. A stepping mechanism allows incremental angular movement of a portion of an adjustment mechanism and indicates when the sleeve is securely engaged by resisting further tightening.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2006Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Inventors: Craig M.

Patent number: 8529573Abstract: A device and a method for establishing a position and orientation for a preliminary saw cut in a distal end of a femur to prepare the femur for installation of a prosthetic knee joint. A guide block defining a cutting plane is carried on an adjustably positioned locating arm that is supported on an alignment body that can be mounted on a femur either with or without an intramedullary rod in place in the distal end of the femur. Adjustment screws and horizontal slots in the alignment body provide for varus/valgus angular adjustment of the position of the alignment body. An adjustment guide block may have a saw guiding face defining a differently oriented cutting plane.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2011Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Inventors: Craig M.
