Disclosed screwdrivers may include a rotatable drive shaft having a drive portion disposed at a distal end thereof, and a drive end disposed at a proximal end thereof. Disclosed screwdrivers may include an angled tip portion that is angled with respect to the longitudinal direction, and a mechanism configured to transfer a rotational force applied to the drive portion of the drive shaft through the angled tip portion to the drive end of the drive shaft. Disclosed screwdrivers may include an elastic retaining clip configured to have a bone screw securely attached therein at a clipping force and progressively release the bone screw therein at an extraction force. Disclosed screwdrivers may include at least one spring contacting the elastic retaining clip and the angled tip portion that is configured to facilitate the progressive release of the bone screw.

Bionic artificial hip joint
11413153 · 2022-08-16 · ·

The invention discloses a bionic artificial hip joint. The artificial hip joint includes a femoral stem located above corpus femoris, and a convex force-bearing part is provided on the femoral stem. The force-bearing part abuts against the inner side of the cortex on greater trochanter and bears a part of the longitudinal stress; its hollow design is convenient for bone grafting, so that the prosthesis and the greater trochanter can be integrated. Replacement surgery can preserve the hard cortex on the greater trochanter, providing another focus point for the femoral stem and further improving the stability of the connection between the bionic artificial hip joint and corpus femoris.

TALUS IMPLANT

At least one embodiment comprises a talus implant comprising: a body section; a neck section; a crown, wherein the crown is positioned at a top portion of the body section; at least one wing coupled to the body section, wherein the wing extends out from the body section. At least one embodiment further comprises at least one screw hole positioned in at least one of the neck section and the body section. In at least one embodiment the outer surface of the implant is polished. In at least one embodiment a portion of the outer surface is polished while a portion of the outer surface is roughened.
