    Abstract: A polyaxial bone anchoring device includes a receiving part having a longitudinal axis, a channel for receiving a rod, and an accommodation space for pivotably holding a head of a bone anchoring element, and a pressure member configured to be positioned in the receiving part and to exert pressure onto the head to lock the head in the receiving part. The pressure member includes a pressure exerting surface and a deformable portion having a free end, wherein the deformable portion is configured to assume at least a first configuration and a second configuration. The polyaxial bone anchoring device further includes a locking member configured to be inserted into the channel and to exert a force onto the deformable portion. When the head and the pressure member and the locking member are in the receiving part, the free end of the deformable portion is supported in the receiving part, and the locking member is movable in the channel along the longitudinal direction in such a manner that the locking member first contacts the deformable portion and exerts a force onto the deformable portion to bring the deformable portion from the first configuration into the second configuration thereby locking the head. Thereafter the locking member comes into contact with the rod and locks the rod.

    Abstract: A fibular nail for repairing distal fibular fractures is provided that does not require a transfibular-transtibial interlocking screw for stabilization. The nail provides transverse apertures permitting fixation of the proximal and distal portions of a fractured fibula to the nail. The nail has apertures for securing the fibula to the nail on the proximal side of a fracture and on the distal side of a fracture. Optionally, the nail may be connected to the tibia for stabilization.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method of surgical repair utilizing a continuous compression staple for an orthopedic injury site having a long bone fracture defining a fracture boundary between a first bone fragment and a second bone fragment. The method can include the steps of aligning the fragments, applying a temporary compressive force to the aligned fragments, inserting a compression staple in a tensioned state into the first and second bone fragments such that it traverses the fracture boundary, releasing tension in the compression staple such that the staple exerts a continuous compressive force to the first and second bone fragments, and securing a neutralization implant to the long bone. The disclosure further includes kits and systems for performing the disclosed surgical methods.
