Axial intramedullary screw for the osteosynthesis of long bones
InactiveUS6517541B1Maintain stabilityOptimizationInternal osteosythesisJoint implantsBone CortexEngineering
An axial intramedullary screw having a straight cylindrical outer surface for the operative treatment of long bones, the screw having two tips and a screw thread extending between the tips. At each of the tips there is a connection portion for screwdriver. The screw thread is used for cutting into the cortical bone of the medullary canal and due to the screwdriver connection at both ends it can be driven from either end through the cortical bone. This allows a method to be used in which the screw is threaded into one portion of a bone fragment and then after connecting a further bone fragment at the fracture site, screwed in a different direction into that further fragment. The screw also includes a transverse screw hole at one or both ends for the passage of an interlocking transverse screw therethrough.

A fracture fixation system in which a plate is secured to stable bone and posts are inserted at varying angles into an unstable bone fragment by engaging in rotatable bearings which are fixedly secured in the plate when the posts are fully engaged in the bone fragment. The bearings are formed as truncated spherical members having a number of longitudinal slots extending partway along the length of the bearing to form petals which are expanded outwardly when the posts are advanced in the bearing to produce non-uniform distribution of forces between the bearing and the plate which generate force couples to resist angulation of the posts and loss of fracture fixation. Various other ways of producing non-uniform force distribution are described.

Bone plate systems and retainers are provided for surgical implants and bone repair. The bone plate is multi-tiered for receiving bone anchors or screws for securing multiple bones or bone fragments in a desired relationship. The plate includes bores for receiving the screws, and the bores may permit and define a translation path for the screws relative to the plate. The retainers are held in a recess in the bores to prevent screw back-out. Once the screw is seated with the plate, the retainer rests over a top surface of the screw to impede screw back-out from the plate. The retainer may expand to permit driving a screw therethrough and may contract once the screw is seated within the plate so the retainer is in a configuration for preventing back-out. Tools and methods are also provided for implantation and removal of the plates and the screws.
