    摘要: An orthopedic implant can be used for fixation of a joint or fracture and can include a tapered member and at least one fixation member. The tapered member can be configured for placement in association with one or more bone segments. The tapered member can have a longitudinally extending body that defines an upper surface portion, an opposed lower surface portion and first and second sides, where at least the first and second sides can be formed of porous metal and can have a porous metal outer surface. The at least one fixation member can be integrally formed with the tapered member and can extend laterally outwardly from the tapered member body. The at least one fixation member can be configured to secure the implant to the one or more bone segments to provide fixation of the one or more bone segments relative to the tapered member.

    摘要: A method for securing a flexible member may include forming a bore in a bone; inserting an anchor into the bore, the anchor including a passage and being coupled to a flexible member; slideably positioning a first load distributing member along the flexible member; inserting the first load distributing member into the bore such that the flexible member engages the first load distributing member; and applying tension to a portion of the flexible member to secure the anchor and load distributing member within the bone.

    摘要: A volar distal radius plate includes a shaft and a head. The head includes a radial side that seats below the volar rim, and an ulnar side with two extending tabs that provide a buttress support to ulnar fragments from the volar rim. The tabs are contoured to be atraumatic to the overlying soft tissue. The tabs can be readily re-orientated to better approximate the volar rim and provide close support to the volar fragments. Each tab includes a single hole specifically sized to closely receive a K-wire in a fixed angle orientation, and which permits the K-wire to apply a bending load to a tab in situ to bend the tab about a lower recess between the tab and the remainder of the head. Therefore, the plate does not require a dedicated bender. The tabs can also accommodate sutures.

    摘要: An intramedullary nail for use in a medullary canal of a long bone. The nail includes a body defining a longitudinal axis and an external periphery for fitting in the medullary canal of the long bone. The body has a first internal wall thereof defining a first opening through the body, defining a first opening centerline. The body has a second internal wall defining a second opening through the body, defining a second opening centerline. The first opening centerline and the second opening centerline are oblique with respect to each other. The longitudinal axis of the body and the first opening centerline form an acute angle between the longitudinal axis of the body and the first opening centerline. The longitudinal axis of the body and the second opening centerline forming an acute angle between the longitudinal axis of the body and the second opening centerline.

    摘要: A femoral drill guide assembly constructed in accordance to one example of the present disclosure includes a handle portion, a parallel slider, a perpendicular slider, a feeder guide and a receiving guide. The handle portion can extend along a first plane and include a first adjustable mating portion formed thereon. The parallel slider can have a second and a third adjustable mating portion thereon. The first and second adjustable mating portions can selectively move relative to each other causing the parallel slider to move relative to the handle portion between a plurality of positions along the first plane. The perpendicular slider can extend along a second plane and have a fourth adjustable mating portion thereon. The third and fourth adjustable mating portions can selectively move relative to each other causing the perpendicular slider to move relative to the parallel slider between a plurality of positions along the second plane.

    摘要: An intramedullary device, having a first longitudinal axis extending between a proximal end and a distal end thereof, is provided. The intramedullary device may include a first bore and a second bore. The first bore may include a second longitudinal axis and may extend through the intramedullary device between a first opening and a second opening. The second longitudinal axis may define a first angle (θ1) with the first longitudinal axis. The second bore may include a third longitudinal axis and may extend through the intramedullary device between the first opening and a third opening. The third longitudinal axis may define a second angle (θ2) with the first longitudinal axis.

    摘要: A fastener assembly can include a proximal fastener member, a distal fastener member and an internal fastener member. The proximal fastener can include a fastener head and an internal wall defining an anti-rotation feature. The distal fastener can include a proximal end defining an internal bore and an external anti-rotation feature, and a distal end defining a bone anchor. The internal fastener can be positioned in the cannulated proximal fastener and threadably coupled to the distal fastener such that the proximal end of the distal fastener is telescopically received in a distal end of the proximal fastener. Rotation of the internal fastener in a first rotational direction can telescopically retract the distal fastener into the proximal fastener so as to be adapted to compress a bone fracture. Rotation of the internal fastener in an opposite rotational direction can extend the distal fastener relative to the proximal fastener.
