摘要:
A bone plate comprises a locking hole extending through the bone plate from a top surface to a bottom surface thereof. The locking hole is threaded and sized and shaped to lockingly receive a correspondingly threaded head of a bone fixation element therethrough. The bone plate further comprises a first plate relief extending at least partially through a thickness of the plate and separated from the locking hole to define a first weakened portion of the bone plate. The first plate relief extends around a portion of a circumference of the locking hole.
摘要:
A bone plate includes a first through hole extending through the plate along a first longitudinal axis from a proximal surface of the plate to a bone-facing distal surface thereof which, when the plate is placed on a target portion of bone in a desired orientation, faces the bone. An outer wall of the first through hole includes three wall sections provided with projections for receiving a screw head of a bone screw. The three wall sections are straight or convex.

A system for securing a bone fixation device to a bone comprises a flexible longitudinal element configured to wrap about and stabilize one of a target portion of bone and a bone stabilizing element. The longitudinal element includes a plurality of projections extending distally from a first surface thereof. Each projection includes a proximal abutting surface in combination with a bone fixation element including a channel extending therethrough sized and shaped to slidably receive therein a portion of the longitudinal element distal of the head. The bone fixation element includes a recess shaped to receive the head and prevent the head from being drawn distally through the channel. The bone fixation element or the longitudinal element includes a tab configured to engage one of the proximal abutting surfaces to prevent the projections of the longitudinal element from moving proximally relative to the tab.

A multi packaging system for packaging of sterile implants includes a carrier plate and a plurality of packings removably attached to the carrier plate. Each of the plurality of packings contains an implant and is individually removable from the carrier plate.
摘要:
A device is for treating and packaging implants. The device includes a container including a chamber therein. The chamber is closed by a removable seal. The device also includes a carrier sized and shaped to be inserted into the chamber. The carrier includes a carrying structure configured to connect an implant thereto. A portion of the carrier may be formed of an electrically conductive material.

A device for measuring a degree of bending of an intramedullary nail comprises a probe sized and shaped for insertion into a cannulation of an intramedullary nail. The probe including a first longitudinal element extending along a longitudinal axis from a distal end to a proximal end and a second longitudinal element extending along a longitudinal axis from a distal end to a proximal end, the distal ends of the first and second longitudinal elements attached to one another so that the longitudinal axes of the first and second longitudinal elements extend substantially parallel to each other and define a middle plane. A measuring element measures relative axial displacement of the proximal ends of the first and second longitudinal elements in the middle plane upon bending of the first and second longitudinal elements as the probe is inserted into a cannulation of the intramedullary nail.

A bone fixation device includes an aiming guide extending from a first end to a second end, the aiming guide having a plurality of aiming holes, each aiming hole extending through the aiming guide from a proximal face to a distal face along a corresponding aiming hole axis and a bone implant having a proximal face facing the aiming guide and a distal face which faces a target portion of bone, the implant including a plurality of implant holes each extending through the implant from the proximal face to the distal face, an implant hole axis of each of the implant holes being aligned with the aiming hole axis of a corresponding one of the aiming holes. A first connecting bar is integrally formed with the aiming guide and bone implant to space the distal face of the aiming guide from the proximal face of the implant.
摘要:
A device for stabilizing portions of bone, comprises a plate to be coupled to a target portion of bone including a first hole extending therethrough from a proximal surface to a distal, bone-facing, surface thereof and a first rigid member received within the first hole, the rigid member sized relative to the first hole to be rotatable therewithin about an axis substantially perpendicular to a proximal-distal axis of the first hole, the first rigid member including a first bore extending therethrough from a proximal opening to a distal opening, the first bore being sized and shaped to receive a first bone fixation element to be inserted through the plate into the target portion of bone in combination with a first deformable member coupling the first rigid member to the plate.
