Orthopaedic Implants and Prostheses
InactiveUS20090210062A1Small sizeAdjustable sizeSuture equipmentsBone implantSurgical siteSurgical department
Disclosed herein are spinal implants particularly useful in interbody fusion surgery. One embodiment pertains to a plate configured to establish desired lordosis and / or disc height that may be implanted and secured to a superior and inferior vertebral body. The plate may be interlocked with a spacer component to form a single implant. Also disclosed is an anti-backout mechanism that helps prevent fixators from backing out upon securement of the plate in the spine. Kits comprising different sizes and inclination angles of components are disclosed, which can assist the surgeon in preoperatively assembling an implant to best fit in the surgical site of the patient.

Use of Carbon-2-Modified-Vitamin D Analogs to Induce the Formation of New Bone
InactiveUS20110112056A1Promote new bone formationIncrease ratingsBiocideOrganic active ingredientsWhole bodyBone growth
It has been discovered that the 2-carbon-modified derivatives of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 specifically stimulate osteoblasts to form new bone. The ability of the 2-carbon-modified vitamin D analogs to stimulate new bone formation suggest that these compounds can be used where synthesis of new bone is required. Thus, these compounds can be used either systemically or locally to stimulate the growth of bone transplants, to increase the rate of fracture healing and thereby reduce the time required for the healing of fractures, the stimulation of bone growth when required for replacement surgery, and also for the growth of bone to implants or other devices required to maintain the skeleton or teeth in the proper positions.
