| 20080306555 | BONE SCREW WASHER - A washer for use with a bone screw in the reduction and fixation of bone fragments includes a frusto-conical body having a leading end, a trailing end, an exterior surface and an interior surface. A central bore defined by the interior surface for insertion of a bone screw extends longitudinally through the washer. The interior surface is tapered resulting in the central bore's diameter being larger at the trailing end than at the leading end. The washer, when used in combination with a compression bone screw, improves seating of the bone screw head in the bone and results in enhanced compression. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090292321 | BONE ANCHORING DEVICE - The invention concerns an anchoring system for fixing a ligament graft in a bone tunnel. The invention concerns a hollow socket ( | 11-26-2009 |
| 20100185244 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THE MEDICAL TREATMENT OF STRUCTURAL TISSUE - The present invention is directed generally to a bio-medical system(s) and method(s). More specifically, some embodiments may include system(s) and method(s) used in medical treatment(s). Various embodiments may include medical system(s) and method(s) that may use an anchoring mechanism and screw (bolt, etc.) arrangement that increases the strength of attachment. Some embodiments may further include, for example, an anchoring mechanism that expands upon insertion of a screw (bolt, etc.) into an opening. Some embodiments may include, for example, a system(s) and method(s) for improvement of structural tissue (e.g., bone, cartilage) fixation and safety. Further, some embodiments may also include, for example, an anchoring mechanism and screw (bolt, etc.) system that may be utilized in orthopedic procedures. Still some embodiments may further include system(s) and method(s) providing improved screw fixation and enhanced stabilization in structural tissue or fracture repair. Various embodiments may include multiple anchor mechanisms and anchor mechanism holding means. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20110087296 | Systems and methods for the fixation of fusion of bone using compressive implants - First and second bone segments separated by a fracture line or joint can be fixated or fused by creating an insertion path through the first bone segment, through the fracture line or joint, and into the second bone segment. An anchor body is introduced through the insertion path. The distal end of the anchor body is anchored in the interior region of the second bone segment. An elongated implant structure is passed over the anchor body to span the fracture line or joint between the bone segments. The proximal end of the anchor body is anchored to an exterior region of the first bone segment to place, in concert with the anchored distal end, the anchor body in compression, to thereby compress and fixate the bone segments relative to the fracture line or joint. A bony in-growth or through-growth region on the implant structure accelerates the fixation or fusion of the first and second bone segments held in compression and fixated by the anchor body. | 04-14-2011 |
| 20110282396 | IMPLANT WITH DEPLOYABLE STABILIZERS - An implant includes a body having an upper and lower ends, a longitudinal bore defined by a threaded interior surface, and a threaded exterior surface; at least one stabilizer arm associated with a corresponding longitudinal slot in the body, the stabilizer arm being hingedly attached to the body and having a bone gripping protuberance projecting laterally outward therefrom. The stabilizer arm is movable from a first position wherein the bone gripping protuberance is positioned within the bore and a second fully extended position wherein the bone gripping protuberance is positioned outside the threaded exterior surface of the body. The stabilizer arm is resiliently biased to the first position. A camming member is movable through the bore of the body from an initial position to a final position wherein the stabilizer arm is moved to the second stabilizer arm position. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20110288598 | LOCKING SCREW DEVICE - Locking screw system includes screw and female threaded receiver that provide for and lock through interference fitting, which may be from major-major and/or minor-minor diameter interference. The system may be embodied as an orthopedic implant or implant component. | 11-24-2011 |
| 20130123857 | BONE ANCHORING DEVICE - A bone anchoring device for anchoring in a bone comprises a hollow shaft having an outer surface including a first portion and a threadless second portion, the second portion having a larger outer diameter and a shorter axial length than the first portion; and a barb carrier having at least two barb elements. The shaft and the barb carrier can be moved relative to each other in such a manner that in a first configuration the barb elements of the barb carrier project beyond an outer surface of the shaft by a distance d | 05-16-2013 |
| 20150313659 | FASTENING FORCE AUXILIARY DEVICE FOR SCREW AND SCREW WITH FASTENING FORCE AUXILIARY DEVICE - A fastening force auxiliary device ( | 11-05-2015 |
| 20160030098 | FORCE DISTRIBUTION IMPLANT, ASSEMBLY AND KIT - An implant for use with a bone screw for fixation of at least one bone or bone fragments. The implant includes a top end and a bottom end. The implant may also include an exterior surface extending from the top end to the bottom end and a central bore extending from the top end to the bottom end along a central axis. The implant may further include a slot extending through the exterior surface and intersecting with the central bore of the implant. A bone fixation assembly including a fixator and an implant configured to engage the fixator is also disclosed. A surgical kit for bone fixation is also disclosed. The surgical kit includes at least one force distribution member and at least one elongate member. | 02-04-2016 |
