An external fixation assembly for bone fusion or separation is disclosed. The assembly includes a fracture fusion tube, with a bracket slidably engaged thereon. The assembly further includes a collet clamp connected to the bracket, with a ball collet rotatably seated within the clamp, the ball collet having an aperture for receiving a bone bin therethrough and perforations for a compression engagement with a bone pin. The assembly uses a single screw for threadably engaging the ball collet, the clamp and the bracket such that the position of the bone pin, ball collet and bracket are all fixed.

Fixation clamp

A fixation clamp for use in an external fixation system for holding bone fragments adjacent to each other with the help of fixation elements has at least one clamping assembly having a pair of jaws with at least two different size grooves to accommodate a bone fixation element such as a pin or rod. An alternate clamping assembly has at least three grooves wherein at least two of the grooves have a different size adapted to accommodate a correspondingly sized bone fixation element such as a bone pin. The longitudinal axes of the grooves define a polygon. The jaw pairs can be rotated about a central longitudinal axis to present different size reception cavities towards the pins or rocks depending on their diameter.

DYNAMIC EXTERNAL ATTACHMENT DEVICE FOR OSTEOSYNTHESIS

Pair of dynamic external fixation devices (100) for the reduction of fractures of bone fragments, said devices (100) being arranged on either side of a first bone portion traversed by a first pin (10) in a proximal position and a second bone portion traversed by a second pin (11) in distal position, while each of the dynamic external fixation devices (100) includes a first body (1) having a longitudinal axis profile (X, X), having a proximal bore (5) passing through an axis (Y, Y) in combination with the first pin (10), said first body (1) being embedded in a first coil spring (8), while said first spring (8) is nested in a second coil spring (12), mounted in conjunction with a second body mounted in conjunction on said first body (1), while the second body is mounted in conjunction with the second pin (11).

Laminar Fixation Clamp and Method
20180289403 · 2018-10-11 · ·

A laminar fixation clamp has a body that utilizes a clam-shell style pivot controlled by a set screw, to grasp and attach to a spine rod, while receiving a laminar fixation band that can loop around a lamina of a vertebra in order to hold the laminar fixation clamp onto the vertebra. One form comprises a two-piece structure while another form comprises a single-piece structure. In each case, an upper and lower clamping structure situated at a front of the laminar fixation clamp, is received over and onto the spine rod, while a laminar fixation band is received through clamp. The set screw controls the amount of pivoting and thus the clamping force exerted onto the spine rod.
