Preferred intermediate bone blocks comprise at least one machined segment of cortical bone, ... 09/07/06 - 20060200236 - Intermediate bone block and its use in bone block assemblies and assembled bone-tendon-bone grafts The present invention has multiple aspects. In its simplest aspect, the present invention is directed to an intermediate bone block comprising a machined segment of cortical bone, cancellous bone or both, the intermediate having a face comprising one to ten compression surfaces and one to ten cavities, the compression surfaces ... 09/07/06 - 20060200235 - Assembled bone-tendon-bone grafts The present invention has multiple aspects. In its simplest aspect, the present invention is directed to an intermediate bone block comprising a machined segment of cortical bone, cancellous bone or both, the intermediate having a face comprising one to ten compression surfaces and one to ten cavities, the compression surfaces ... 06/22/06 - 20060136058 - Patient specific anatomically correct implants to repair or replace hard or soft tissue The present invention relates to a system of preparing a one of a kind artificial or biological implant to repair or replace a bone or a tissue part in a living individual, the system comprising: pre-operatively constructing an anatomically correct, affected area 7-unique scan implants geometry, wherein the implants geometry ... 05/04/06 - 20060095131 - Expanding ligament graft fixation system and method A graft fixation system for fixing graft material in a bone tunnel includes an expandable fixation member having a graft receiving eyelet disposed proximate its distal end, opposed bone engaging elements disposed about its periphery, and an expansion plug receiving opening defined in its proximal end. The system also includes ... 05/04/06 - 20060095130 - Ligament fixation using graft harness A graft harness for securing a ligament in a bone tunnel takes the form of a shaped plug having a proximal end and a distal end. A radial groove is formed in the distal end of the plug which accepts a looped ligament graft. A suture passageway formed through the ... 02/09/06 - 20060030941 - Graft ligament anchor and method for attaching a graft ligament to a bone A graft ligament anchor comprises a graft ligament engagement member disposed in an opening in a bone, the graft ligament engagement member being arranged to receive a graft ligament alongside the engagement member, and a locking member for disposition in the opening, and at least in part engageable with the ... 02/09/06 - 20060030940 - Use of autogenous growth factors in bone tunnels during ligament reconstruction with mechanical containment implants A method for introducing autogenous growth factors produced from a patient's own blood into a target bone tunnel created by the surgeon during ligament reconstruction. The autogenous growth factors, preferably contained in platelet-rich plasma, are inserted into the target bone tunnel subsequent to the graft insertion to enhance the healing ... 11/24/05 - 20050261766 - Method for reconstructing a ligament A method for reconstructing a ligament. In one form of the invention, there is disclosed a method for securing a graft ligament in a bone tunnel, the method comprising the steps of: (1) forming a first bone tunnel in a bone, and forming a second bone tunnel in the same ... 09/15/05 - 20050203623 - Bone tendon bone assembly with cylindrical allograft bone block The invention is directed toward a bone block, a bone-tendon-bone assembly and method of tendon reconstruction in which at least one tendon replacement is extended between two bone blocks and fixed within each of two bone tunnels in the bones of a joint using interference screws. Each bone block has ... 09/15/05 - 20050203622 - Bone tendon bone assembly The invention is directed toward a bone block, a bone-tendon-bone assembly and method of tendon reconstruction in which at least one tendon replacement is extended between two bone blocks and fixed within each of two bone tunnels in the bones of a joint using interference screws. Each bone block has ... 09/15/05 - 20050203621 - Method for inserting improved bone tendon bone assembly with allograft bone block The invention is directed toward a bone block, a bone-tendon-bone assembly and method of tendon reconstruction in which at least one tendon replacement is extended between two bone blocks and fixed within each of two bone tunnels in the bones of a joint using interference screws.
