Latest Patents

Among his latest patents is the "End effector for robotic shoulder arthroplasty." This invention involves a robotic surgical system that includes an end effector coupled to a robotic arm. The system features a reamer that is operable to ream bone, which can be coupled to the end effector via a retainer. The reamer consists of a primary driveshaft that is rotatable about a first axis of rotation, while the cutting head can rotate about a second axis of rotation, which is parallel to and offset from the first axis. Another notable patent is the "Patient-specific instrumentation and method for articular joint repair." This invention provides patient-specific instrumentation designed for use during articular joint repair. It includes a jig that is adapted to be positioned over a bone at an articular surface, assisting in preparing the bone surface for the reception of a prosthesis. The jig features a bone contacting portion that matingly contacts the articular surface and a cutting slot for receiving a saw blade to resect the bone surface.
