Drill Guide/Suture Passer for Posterior Approach Total Hip Soft Tissue Repair

­Combined drill guide and suture passer for use in assisting repair following posterior approach total hip arthroplasty. Background:
The posterior approach to the hip for total hip replacement as well as trauma, pediatric orthopedic surgery, and tumors is the most common approach for total hip arthroplasties. However, the performance of this surgery carries risks given the lack of a devoted and standardized instrument to assist in repairing the soft tissues over the hip joint before closure, leaving room for mistakes given that the repair is operator dependent.Technology Overview:  
Upstate Medical University Orthopedic Surgeons have designed a device that features a drill guide and suture passer for posterior approach total hip arthroplasty. The device will facilitate hole drilling, as well as passing and tying sutures over the desired tissues. This will eliminate the need to visually decide where to place the drill to make the holes, as well as manually passing the suture passer through the holes to repair the tissues of the surgery for a faster, more precise, and easier procedure, which could reduce the total time of surgery, minimize risk of posterior hip dislocation and may decrease patient recovery time. https://suny.technologypublisher.com/files/sites/adobestock_272951884_(1).jpeg Advantages:  •    Sterilizable metallic surgical instrument for repetitive use.
•    Less variability of results due to user experience level.
•    Expedites closure process, minimizing post-operative risks.Intellectual Property Summary:
Patent Pending US 18/236,641Stage of Development:

Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy Fixation Device

Fixation device to secure bone fragment of tibial tuberosity to native bone after osteotomy surgical...

Fixation device to secure bone fragment of tibial tuberosity to native bone after osteotomy surgical procedure. Background:
Standard osteotomy techniques to join the tibial tubercle fragment to native bone include screw fixation alone or fixation with wire or suture, which are not reliable methods to holding the bone in place to avoid displacement post-operatively and possibly leading to non-union, malunion, extensor weakness, extensor lag, or complete loss of active knee extension.Technology Overview:  
Orthopedic oncology and joint reconstruction expert at Upstate Medical University has designed a device that secures the bone fragment of tibial tuberosity to the native bone using custom-made plates, screws and suture/wires after osteotomy and mobilization of the tuberosity and associated patellar tendon. https://suny.technologypublisher.com/files/sites/adobestock_322821442_(002).jpeg Advantages:  
•    Improves fixation of the tibial tubercle fragment by improving bone to bone healing and normal restoration of the knee.
•    Reduces rate of revision surgery.
•    Minimizes surgery time.
