Orthosis With Distraction Through Range Of Motion

View page
US Patent:
52857735, Feb 15, 1994
Filed:
Apr 24, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/690845
Inventors:
Peter M. Bonutti - Effingham IL
Gary E. Zitzmann - Newton IL
International Classification:
A61F 500
US Classification:
128 25R
Abstract:
An orthosis for stretching tissue that limits compressive forces on the soft tissue around a joint during movement of the joint. The orthosis includes two relatively pivotable cuff arms with a cuff on each arm. The cuffs clamp onto the body portions on either side of the joint. The pivot axis of the cuff arms is spaced from the pivot axis of the joint, so that movement of the cuff arms to extend the joint results in distractive forces being applied to the joint. The cuffs are selectively moved on the cuff arms, during extension and flexion, to provide the proper amount of distractive forces to the joint and to limit compressive forces on the joint. A mechanical advantage is gained through the use of a gear drive mechanism for transmitting to the joint the force applied by the patient. This allows the orthosis to be relatively small and light weight. The orthosis also provides a portable system for continuous passive motion therapy for a joint.

US Patent:
56117647, Mar 18, 1997
Filed:
Jun 2, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/458982
Inventors:
Peter M. Bonutti - Effingham IL
Gary E. Zitzmann - Newton IL

Apparatus And Method For Use During Surgery

View page
US Patent:
55141439, May 7, 1996
Filed:
Nov 27, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/799560
Inventors:
Peter M. Bonutti - Effingham IL
Gary E. Zitzmann - Newton IL
Assignee:
Apogee Medical Products, Inc. - Effingham IL
International Classification:
A61F 500
US Classification:
606 86
Abstract:
An improved apparatus provided to position the femur and tibia of a leg relative to each other during surgery includes a femoral section which is fixedly mounted on the femur and a tibial section which is fixedly mounted on the tibia. The femoral and tibial sections are movable relative to each other during bending of the leg. An index assembly is provided to interconnect the femoral and tibial sections when the femur and tibia are in any one of a plurality of predetermined orientations relative to each other. A pair of cams and cam followers are provided on opposite sides of the leg to support and guide movement of the femur and tibia relative to each other during bending of the leg. The cams have surfaces with configurations which are a function of the relative movement between the femur and tibia during bending of the leg. The cams and cam followers can be used to effect distraction of the knee joint and to maintain the extent of distraction of the knee joint constant during bending of the leg.
