A compression nut for treating a bone includes a head and a body extending longitudinally from the head to a free end. The body includes an exterior threading along an exterior surface of a threaded portion of the body separated from the head via an unthreaded portion. The nut also includes a channel extending longitudinally through the body. The channel includes an interior threaded extending along an interior surface of the channel configured to threadedly engage an end of a locking screw received therein.

A compression nut for treating a bone includes a head and a body extending longitudinally from the head to a free end. The body includes a first portion including an exterior surface tapering from the head toward a second portion. An exterior threading extends along an exterior surface of both the first portion and the second portion of the body. The nut also includes a channel extending longitudinally through the body. The channel includes an interior threaded extending along an interior surface of the channel configured to threadedly engage a portion of a locking screw therein.

A system and method for forming a hip implant offering minimal invasiveness is described. The system comprises means for positioning the implant under optical and X-ray control, an implant and an applicator for screwing and expanding the implant. The implant includes an insert body and an expansion tube with cut-outs and slits defining legs. The legs expand radially through windows in the insert body when the expansion tube is pushed against the sloped distal portion of the insert body. The expansion process may be ensured by using an anti-rotation device to prevent the insertion tube from rotating within the insert body. Applicator and implant are provided with means preventing cold welding during the implantation process.

A nut for treating a bone includes a head and a body extending longitudinally from the head to a free end and including a channel extending longitudinally thereinto from the free end, the channel configured to engage an end of a bone screw, and an exterior threading extending about the body from an exterior surface thereof along an entire length thereof, an outer contour of the exterior threading defined via radially outermost edges of the exterior threading, a first portion of the outer contour adjacent the head portion having a smaller diameter than a second portion of the outer contour extending from the first portion to the free end of the body.

The present technology may comprise a fixation device. The fixation device can comprise an elongate body comprising a plurality of interconnected segments, each of the segments comprising an engagement member, a recess configured to receive the engagement member of an adjacent one of the segments, and a plurality of channels. At least one of the channels can extend through the engagement member. The fixation device can further comprise a plurality of flexible elongate members, each extending through one of the channels. The elongate body can be transformable between a flexible configuration in which the elongate members can move relative to one another and a rigid configuration in which the elongate members are fixed relative to one another.

Disclosed is a position indicating apparatus including a main body, a first arm connected to one side of the main body based on a symmetric axis of the main body, a second arm connected to another side of the main body based on the symmetric axis, a first light radiator connected to one end of the first arm to radiate a light, and a second light radiator connected to one end of the second arm to radiate a light, wherein the light radiated from the first light radiator and the light radiated from the second light radiator meet and form an intersection of line.

A system to stabilize a fracture includes an intramedullary rod having first and second ends and configured for placement within a medullary bone canal of a bone. The intramedullary rod includes a first rod hole at the second end. An intramedullary rod plate has first and second plate holes. A first fastener includes a shaft portion and a threaded head portion. The shaft portion of the first fastener passes through the first plate hole, through an outer surface of the bone, and through the first rod hole at the second end of the intramedullary rod such that the first fastener secures the intramedullary rod plate to the intramedullary rod. The threaded head portion of the first fastener mates with threads in the first plate hole. A second fastener passes through the second plate hole and into the bone to secure the intramedullary rod plate to the bone.

The present invention includes a tibio-talar device for providing stabilizing support between a tibia and a talus including: a bone nail adapted to traverse the tibia and the talus, wherein the bone nail is curved such that it traverses the tibia and enters the talus at an angle, wherein the bone nail is angled from lateral to medial, wherein the bone nail is configured to provide for intra medullary fusion of the ankle without obstructing the subtalar joint, wherein the bone nail has openings are positioned along the length of the bone nail, and wherein the screw engages the bone nail to lock its rotation in relation to the tibia and talus and optionally for compression of two or more bones selected from tibia to talus, fibula to tibia, or fibula to talus,

The invention relates to the intramedullar nail fixation (13) of the femoral bone that is used in the field of orthopedics and traumatology, in particular, in the pediatric orthopedics field; Its features include the follows; Removal of many negativities in the treatments of femoral proximal area fractures seen in the child age group, young and old bone rotation surgeries, malunion, nonunion and deformities, and in order to make positive contribution to the healing processes of patients, the proximal femoral de-rotation nail (13), by which location can be fixed by turning in an angular way, and by which the operator can perform rotation as much as necessary by fixing rotation angle, and which is formed with the proximal component (1) and the distal component (2), which can perform rotational movement on each other and can fix its location, was developed.
