SURGICAL SYSTEMS, KITS AND METHODS FOR SETTING BONE SEGMENTS
20200008845 · 2020-01-09 ·

An intramedullary nail system is provided with at least one resilient, elongate nail body configured to extend axially along a medullary bone cavity, and at least one bone anchor. The bone anchor includes a distal bone engagement portion configured to secure the anchor to a bone, a proximal nail engagement portion configured to receive a portion of the nail body therethrough, and a tightening mechanism configured to move from a movable state in which the nail body may slide axially and rotate through the engagement portion and a fixed state in which the nail body is prevented from moving relative to the engagement portion. Methods of use and surgical kits are also provided.

MATERIALS IN ORTHOPEDICS AND FRACTURE FIXATION
20200008946 · 2020-01-09 ·

A system and method for improving upon an ability of a surgeon to repair traumatic bone injury using new materials, components, and structures. A structure may be used as an implant or a component of an external fixator for a fractured long bone with that structure having anisotropic and viscoelastic properties, such as through additive manufacturing techniques.

Hybrid implant system and manufacturing method therefor

The present disclosure discloses a hybrid implant system for fixing and repairing orthopedic fracture and a manufacturing method therefor. The hybrid implant system comprises an implant body having holes on both ends and a locking part configured for attaching the implant body to a broken bone through the holes. The hybrid implant system further comprises a healing assembly made from a material promoting healing of the bone. The implant body has at least one window on a side, the at least one window is aligned with a broken location of the bone, and the healing assembly is inserted into the window in a self-locking manner towards an interior of the implant body.

Arthoplasty systems and methods for optimally aligning and tensioning a knee prosthesis
10517583 · 2019-12-31 ·

A combination of a first assembly for guiding resection of a femur and tibia of a knee joint and a second assembly including femoral and tibial knee components. The combination of the first assembly and the second assembly provides optimal placement and positioning of the femoral and tibial knee components to achieve near-normal knee kinematics and tension. The preparation for and placement of the prosthetic knee components provides medial-pivoting kinematics mimicking that of the natural knee thereby promoting improved outcome for the patient.

PROSTHESES WITH FLEXIBLE SURFACE LAMELLAS

A prosthesis or implant device for use in joint or bone repair, or restoration of function. The prosthesis or implant device comprises a stem, in which a portion of the stem comprises non-overlapping lamellas around part or all of the circumference of the stem. Each lamella is connected to the external surface of the stem via a bending joint, which permits the space between the rest of the inner surface of the lamella and the external surface of the stem to decrease upon application of a force to the outer surface of the lamella. In addition, methods of treating a subject in need of joint replacement or bone repair using the prosthesis or implant device.

Small Joint Fixation

Disclosed is a medical device having a first implant portion having a proximal end, a second implant portion connected to the first implant portion, the second implant portion having a distal end, and a driver assembly removably connected to the distal end, the driver assembly comprising a drill connected to the distal end at a connection.

Proximal humeral stabilization system

Devices, systems, and methods for bone stabilization, especially proximal humeral stabilization. The stabilization system may include a bone plate having an elongated portion extending along a longitudinal axis and an enlarged head portion extending from the elongated portion. The stabilization system may include an intramedullary nail having an upper portion and a lower portion extending from the upper portion, the upper portion and the lower portion including a plurality of holes. A plurality of fasteners may be configured to extend through one or more of the plurality of through holes in the bone plate and/or one or more of the plurality of holes in the intramedullary nail and into the bone. The plate and nail may each be used alone or in combination together to stabilize a fracture in a long bone, such as a humerus.
