Patent number: 12042400Abstract: A method of treating a spine includes implanting a spinal implant within a patient. The spinal implant includes a first member having a first wall defining an axial passageway and a first opening, the first opening being in communication with the axial passageway. A second member includes a second wall defining an axial channel having the first member disposed therein, the second wall defining a second opening in communication with the axial channel. Bone graft is injected through the first opening and into the axial passageway and through the second opening and into the axial channel after the spinal implant is implanted within the patient.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2022Date of Patent: July 23, 2024Assignee: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Thomas J.

Publication number: 20240238016Abstract: A spinal implant comprises at least one bone fastener including a proximal portion configured for fixation with a first anterior cortical surface of a vertebra and a distal portion configured for fixation with a second cortical surface of the vertebra. The proximal portion is engageable with a surgical driver having a surgical navigation component that generates data for display of an image representing position of the spinal implant relative to the vertebra. The spinal implant can be employed with cervical, thoracic, lumbar and/or sacral regions of a spine. Systems, surgical instruments and methods are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2024Publication date: July 18, 2024Applicant: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Jaredan Braal, Julien J.

Patent number: 11406431Abstract: A lateral reducer includes a translating reducer arm, an interface and handle bars. The arm includes a first longitudinal axis and laterally drives a rod. The interface has a fulcrum and a first side integrated with the arm. The interface pivots the arm between an open position and a closed position. A first handle bar connects to the fulcrum and has a second longitudinal axis. A second handle bar connects to a second side of the interface. The second handle bar has a first position, intermediate positions and a second position. In the first position, the arm is in the open position. In the second position, the arm is in the closed position so that the first longitudinal axis and the second longitudinal axis are parallel. In intermediate positions between the first and second positions, the arm moves laterally in a direction toward the first handle bar.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2021Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: WARSAW ORTHOPEDIC, INC.Inventors: Vignesh Srinivasan, Thomas J.
