    摘要: A modular head compression screw system is disclosed and has a cannulated compression screw component with a modular head. The compression screw component includes a tubular body and penetrating tip having a first and second end, and an exterior thread on the tubular body which extends to the second end of the tubular body or penetrating tip. A second exterior thread is positioned around the diameter of the first end to create a posted compression screw. Further, a modular head is removably secured at the first end via the second exterior thread and configured to engage with a driver to advance the compression screw in to the bone. Each modular head component may have a threaded head component which removably secures to the first end of the tubular body, and a fixation component which acts to engage tendons and/or bones.

    摘要: A subtalar implant that can be expanded/contracted in vivo to adjust the amount of distraction applied to the subtalar joint of a patient and a related insertion device are disclosed herein. More specifically, the subtalar implant can expand both radially and also in the angle between the proximal and distal end of the outer component of the implant. The implant comprises an internal component that allows for the distal or proximal ends of the implant to be manipulated via the insertion device. The subtalar implant and the related insertion device permit a surgeon to adjust the implant construct to suit a particular patient.
