US Patent:

8545572, Oct 1, 2013

Filed:

Jan 21, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/011243

Inventors:

Jon Olson - Houston TX, US

Assignee:

Trilliant Surgical, Ltd. - Houston TX

International Classification:

A61F 2/42
A61F 2/08

US Classification:

623 2118, 606300, 606304

Abstract:

One embodiment of the invention includes a sinus tarsi implant with an inverted thread profile having a lip or lips at the thread crest. The lips may help hold tissue in-growth and give greater purchase to the implant. The implant may also include voids that traverse threads. The voids may create an open area for soft tissue to grow into. The voids may be relatively small and consequently promote faster tissue in-growth. Thus, the lips and/or voids limit migration. They do this without creating sharp edges or pressure points (or at least limiting such creation) that are typically associated with techniques (e. g. , cutting deep negative thread spaces) used to prevent migration. Therefore, the embodiments of the invention limit migration while also limiting patient discomfort. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Appl. No.:

13/011330

Inventors:

Jon Olson - Houston TX, US

Assignee:

Trilliant Surgical, Ltd. - Houston TX

International Classification:

A61F 2/42

US Classification:

623 2118, 623 2111

Abstract:

One embodiment of the invention includes a sinus tarsi implant with a proximal portion that includes a spherical portion. The spherical portion may include apertures for tissue in-growth. The implant design limits patient discomfort due to pressure points. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Filed:

Feb 17, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/372042

Inventors:

Jon Olson - Houston TX, US
Chad Steitle - Houston TX, US

International Classification:

A61B 17/58

US Classification:

606301, 606304, 606315, 606316

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention may prevent or diminish a bone screw from “backing out” from bone. Bone particulate residing in channels of the bone screw may promote bone growth that would reduce the potential of backing out. Furthermore, bone particulate from drilling and tapping functions can cause increased friction. However, by placing bone particulate in channels of the bone screw, potential binding may be reduced resulting in less stress on the screw shaft. Also, breaking of screws during screw insertion may be reduced due to tapering of the screw.

17/739695

Inventors:

- Houston TX, US
Jon Olson - Houston TX, US

International Classification:

A61B 17/86

Abstract:

A semi-rigid, fixation device includes a rigid anchor portion configured to be directly rotated and driven distally into a first bone or bone portion of a patient. The device includes a rigid cap portion configured to be held in tension against at least one of a bone plate and a second bone or bone portion of the patient and indirectly rotated under torque provided by the anchor portion. The device includes a flexible member including a plurality of woven stands and having a fixed length between first and second ends, which are fixedly respectively coupled to the anchor portion and cap portion, such that a torque provided by the direct rotation of the anchor portion is transferred through the flexible member to the cap portion when the flexible member is held in at least a first amount of longitudinal tension. Methods of use and manufacture are also provided.
