    摘要: An orthopedic fixation system includes an orthopedic implant and a compression insert transitionable between a natural shape and an insertion shape. The orthopedic implant includes first and second plates with insert slots configured to receive therein a portion of the compression insert. The first and second plates secure with a bone in an opposed relationship while being separated by an expansion whereby the insert slots of the first and second plates align across the expansion. The compression insert, in the insertion shape, inserts into the insert slots of the first and second plates such that the compression insert spans the expansion. The compression insert, due to an attempted transition thereof from the insertion shape to the natural shape, delivers energy stored therein to the first plate and the second plate whereby the orthopedic implant affixes the bone.

    摘要: A burr attachment designed for use with a curved burr attachment or other chuck attachments that includes a tube with a wire shaft supported therein and a coil spring surrounding said wire shaft and having each of the coils touch the outer periphery surface of the wire shaft and the inner peripheral surface of said tube to enhance cooling of said outer periphery of said tube from the heat generated by said wire shaft and attenuate vibrations while allowing said burr attachment to be bent without kinking.

    摘要: A bone plate includes a plate body defining an outer surface, an opposed bone-facing surface, and a combination hole comprising a locking hole and a compression hole that intersect one another and each extending from the outer surface to the bone-facing surface. The locking hole and the compression hole extend away from each other along a longitudinal axis. The plate body further defines a locking surface that defines the locking hole, and a second surface that defines the compression hole. The locking surface further defines a plurality of columns sequentially located about a central axis of the locking hole, a plurality of recesses located, respectively, between at least some of the columns, and plate threads that traverse each of the columns. Crests of the plate threads extend linearly from a first side of each column to a second side of each column.
