Patent number: 10357301Abstract: A surgical instrument for applying a rotational force to a structural element during a surgical procedure. The instrument may be designed for increasing an input force to produce an enlarged output force adequate for fracturing an excess section of the elongated element from a remainder of the structural element. The instrument may include an input mechanism that receives an external rotational input force, a planetary gear system that multiples the input force, and an output mechanism that attaches to and delivers the multiplied rotational output force to the excess section of the structural element. The output mechanism may also be configured to capture the separated excess section. The instrument may include a housing and a handle for grasping and manipulating during the surgical procedure.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2016Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Bradley E. Steele, Thomas V. McGahan, Jacob R. Zimmerman
