Title: Michael J. Miller: Inventor in Musculoskeletal Reconstruction
Introduction
Michael J. Miller is an inventor based in Columbus, Ohio. His work includes inventions for musculoskeletal reconstructive surgery, with a focus on patient-specific devices and restoring normal mechanical behavior in grafted bone. He is associated with The Ohio State University and The University of Toledo. Miller is credited with 3 patents.
Latest Patents
One of Miller’s latest patent inventions, “Methods, Devices, and Manufacture of the Devices for Musculoskeletal Reconstructive Surgery,” addresses the competing needs of stabilizing grafted bone and helping it regain normal stress-strain behavior. The disclosed approach uses fixation hardware in a two-stage process.
The invention also describes a method for determining a patient-specific stress and strain pattern. It uses three-dimensional CT data of relevant structures and cross-sectional data for the three major chewing muscles to model muscle forces and estimate the stiffness of cortical bone in the mandible. This information can guide the design of implantation hardware by adjusting its external topology and internal porous geometry, reducing the stiffness of biocompatible metals to help restore normal bite forces.
Another aspect of the work describes 3D printing nitinol to create a patient-specific device intended to support a normal stress-strain trajectory in grafted bone.
Career Highlights
Miller’s patent work brings together patient-specific modeling, implant design, and additive manufacturing. His inventions focus on adapting reconstructive devices to an individual’s anatomy and mechanical needs.
Collaborations
Miller’s listed coworkers include Mohammad H. Elahinia and Alok Sutradhar. His professional affiliations include The Ohio State University and The University of Toledo.
Conclusion
Michael J. Miller’s inventions apply computational modeling and advanced manufacturing to the design of patient-specific devices for musculoskeletal reconstruction.
