A toe bone implant for correction of toe bone deformities is provided. The toe bone implant includes a first portion having a socket portion. The toe bone implant also includes a second portion having a ball portion operatively connected to the socket portion. The toe bone implant is implanted in a joint such that the ball portion is configured to rotate a predetermined amount respective to the socket portion.
SMALL BONE ANGLED COMPRESSION SCREW
The present invention relates to a device and system for surgical fixation of small bones, small bone fragments, and osteotomies and more particularly to compression screw having a threaded leading portion which is joined to a section that is free from threads, and which includes an angle or from 12 to 25 in a plane through the longitudinal axis of the screw and a portion which is joined to a head having a configuration that is intended to provide anti-rotational stability and compression through the device.
SMALL BONE TAPERED COMPRESSION SCREW
The present invention relates to a device and system for surgical fixation of small bones, small bone fragments, and osteotomies and more particularly to compression screw having an elongated and spiked tapered threaded leading portion which is joined to a section that is free from threads and a threaded trailing portion and more sharply tapered head which has threads that continue from the threads of the leading portion.
ORTHOPAEDIC PROSTHESIS FOR AN INTERPHALANGEAL JOINT AND ASSOCIATED METHOD
An orthopaedic prosthesis is disclosed. The orthopaedic prosthesis includes a frame including a plurality of beams defining an open-cell structure and a shell applied to the frame. The frame includes a proximal arm, a distal arm, and a central body connecting the proximal arm to the distal arm. The shell extends over the proximal arm, the distal arm, and the central body of the frame. A method of implanting an orthopaedic prosthesis is also disclosed.
DISTAL INTERPHALANGEAL FUSION METHOD AND DEVICE
The various embodiments of the present invention provide a system, including methods, apparatus and kits for connecting bones and/or bone portions using a multi-part bone connector with one or more rotating joints.
DEVICE FOR OSTEOSYNTHESES OR ARTHRODESIS OF TWO-BONE PARTS, IN PARTICULAR OF THE HAND AND / OR FOOT
In one embodiment, the present disclosure is a fixation device including a median zone, a first fixation zone including a base region extending from the median zone and an end region distant from the median zone, and including an expandable region in between the base region and the end region, the expandable region adapted to move between a closed position and an expanded position, wherein the first fixation zone is adapted to be positioned within a bone hole and, with the expandable region in the expanded position, the expandable region is positioned against bone surrounding the bone hole, and a second fixation zone including a base region extending from the median zone at a position different from the base region of the first fixation zone and an end region distant from the median zone.
ARTHRODESIS IMPLANT AND SURGICAL KIT COMPRISING SUCH AN IMPLANT
The invention concerns an arthrodesis implant (1) for promoting the osseous fusion of a first bone (2) with a second bone (3), said implant (1) comprising a primary component (4) including a primary anchoring body (5) and a male connector (6), and a secondary component (7) including a secondary anchoring body (8) and a female connector (9), said female connector (9) comprising: a main body (10) which extends longitudinally between a rear end (11) linked to said secondary anchoring body (8) and an opposite front face (12), and which has a lateral wall (14) linking said rear end (11) to said front face (12), a housing (15) formed within said main body (10) and configured to receive said male connector (6) in order to link together said primary (4) and secondary (7) components,
said female connector (9) further comprising an opening (18) which is formed in said main body (10), in communication with said housing (15), and which extends continuously on both said front face (12) and said lateral wall (14), and which is sized and configured to enable a lateral introduction of the male connector (6) into said housing (15) via said opening (18), each of said primary (4) and secondary (6) components forming an integral part made in one piece, and said primary (5) and secondary (8) anchoring bodies being respectively designed to ensure the insertion and anchoring of the primary component (4) into the first bone (2), and of the secondary component (7) into the second bone (3), by impaction or by forced wedging.
Osteosynthesis surgical implants.
Surgical implant for fusion between two bone portions and a clamping ancillary for clamping such a surgical implant
A surgical implant which includes: a first anchoring portion comprising two first arms movable between an inserting position and an anchoring position, in which the first arms are spread apart so as to be anchored in a first bone; a second anchoring portion to be anchored in the second bone; and an intermediate portion connecting the first anchoring portion to the second anchoring portion. The intermediate portion comprises: a recess; and a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion that are remote from one another. Bringing the first connecting portion and second connecting portion closer together moves the first arms from the inserting position thereof to the anchoring position thereof.
Proximal interphalangeal joint prothesis
An interphalangeal prosthesis (10) includes a mobile element (12), a proximal fixation element (22), and a distal fixation element (24). The mobile element (12) includes a proximal portion (42, 62, 94) and a distal portion (43, 64, 92), and the proximal portion includes three proximal mobile coupling contiguous surfaces (46, 48, 50) and a proximal mobile coupling protrusion (52), and the distal portion includes a distal coupling mobile surface (54) and a distal mobile coupling protrusion (56), and the proximal portion and the distal portion move relative to each other primarily in an axis of rotation perpendicular to a plane that extends through the proximal mobile coupling protrusion, the three proximal mobile coupling contiguous surfaces, the distal coupling mobile surface, and the distal mobile coupling protrusion in an implanted configuration. The proximal fixation element (22) couples to the three proximal mobile coupling contiguous surfaces and the proximal mobile coupling protrusion of proximal portion, and couples to a joint bone surface and a bone canal. The distal fixation element (24) couples to the distal coupling mobile surface and the distal mobile coupling protrusion, and couples to an opposing joint bone surface and a second bone canal.
Implantation tool for an interphalangeal implant
The disclosure provides a tool for implanting an interphalangeal implant, an implant retainer for an interphalangeal implant, and a method for preparing an implantation tool for an implantation of an interphalangeal implant. The tool for implanting an interphalangeal implant comprises a limb support for supporting a limb, a driving rod, wherein the driving rod is movable for moving an interphalangeal implant towards the limb support, and an actuation mechanism for actuating the implant driver.
