Systems for treating and/or preventing fractures and related devices and methods
Systems for treating and/or preventing fractures include at least one needle sized and configured to be placed into target bone and at least one implantable pin configured to be releasably held in a first needle of the at least one needle. The systems also include at least one delivery device of injectable material configured to couple to the first needle while the first implantable pin is held in the first needle whereby the at least one delivery device and a respective needle cooperate to serially provide an external column of the injectable material about the at least one implantable pin.
DESIGN METHOD OF ANATOMICAL PLATE FOR TREATING DISTAL FEMORAL FRACTURE AND ANATOMICAL PLATE
A design method of an anatomical plate for treating a distal femoral fracture and an anatomical plate are provided. The design method includes: obtaining a high-precision three-dimensional model of a fractured bone of a patient; simulating intraoperative reduction to obtain a post-reduction bone model; establishing a finite element model and performing finite element analysis to determine a force condition of the post-reduction bone model; extracting point arrays of a cross section and a coronal plane from a medial femoral condyle part and a diaphysis part of a distal femur of the post-reduction bone model, connecting the point arrays of the cross section and the coronal plane to obtain a connection curve, and obtaining a solid body design of a plate body; adjusting a thickness and a shape of the plate body according to the force condition and an implantation condition of the post-reduction bone model to obtain an anatomical plate.
Devices, methods and systems for remedying or preventing fractures
Devices, methods and systems for remedying or preventing fractures of the bone are disclosed. The devices, and corresponding methods and systems, may include first and second members each having a proximal end, a distal end and a middle portion and an outer surface. The first member may be configured to be positioned at least partially within the femoral neck of the femur. The second member may be configured to be oriented at an oblique angle relative to the first member and mechanically engaged with the first member through an interlocking connection between the distal end of the second member and the middle portion or the distal end of the first member.
