A Bone screw for anchoring a marrow nail with transverse bores in a tubular bone. The bone screw had a thread with a pitch S, a core diameter D1 and outer diameter D3. The screw supports the marrow nail with a middle part and is fixed in the bone with a distal part. The thread has a flat cylindrical thread base with a length l>0.3 S. In addition, a second thread with the same pitch S and with the core diameter D1 is present in a proximal head part, but has a greater outer diameter D2>D3 in order to proximally achieve a fixing with a greater thread profile.

A longitudinal minimal-invasion bone cutter for tubular bones comprises a bone cutting end bone cutting device and far end positioning devices. The bone cutting end bone cutting device is slidingly sleeved on a positioning adjusting guide rail which is in a long-strip shape, a sliding groove is arranged in the middle of the positioning adjusting guide rail along the length direction, and scales of the positioning adjusting guide rail are arranged along the sliding groove. The far end positioning devices are symmetrically sleeved at two ends of the positioning adjusting guide rail slidingly. By means of the longitudinal minimal-invasion bone cutter, medical workers can perform longitudinal bone cutting operations on the tubular bones according to treatment needs, and the longitudinal minimal-invasion bone cutter is convenient to operate. When the operations are performed, the longitudinal minimal-invasion bone cutter provides convenience for transverse traction of bone blocks and meets needs of angiitis treatment. The bone cutting operations performed by the aid of the longitudinal minimal-invasion bone cutter belong to minimal-invasion operations, do not damage nerves, blood vessels, soft tissues and periostea, have small invasion, facilitate reconstruction and union of bones, and meet needs of longitudinal traction treatment of the tubular bones. By means of the longitudinal minimal-invasion bone cutter, safety and accuracy of the longitudinal bone cutting operations of the tubular bones are improved, medical workers can conveniently perform the operations, and the operation effect is guaranteed.

The present application relates to an implant for tubular bones and to a method for treating fractures of tubular bones. The implant is used to connect two parts of a tubular bone that has broken with a substantially smooth break. The implant is formed by a shaped piece that is inserted into the medullary cavity of a broken tubular bone. The shaped piece has at least one through-opening, which has a substantially constant internal diameter and extends substantially through the shaped piece and through which a cord can be pulled in order to stabilize the fracture. The shaped piece is made of resorbable material, and two anchor parts can be secured on the cord. The anchor parts fix the cord to the bone, and the shaped piece exploits the principle of an internally braced stack in order to press the fracture surfaces of the bone against each other.

An osteosynthetic aid for tubular bones includes a locking nail which has a shank and, at the two ends of said shank, has at least one cross-bore for a headed locking screw. A biasing sleeve is resiliently deformable in an axial direction and is disposed between the head of the locking screw and the shank of the locking nail. The sleeve maintains the cross-locking screw under tension to keep the shank of the nail from shifting during use.

A bone plate for use in anterior lumbar spinal fixation has interlocking components to prevent dislodgement of the plate due to anatomical forces. The exposed surface of the plate is smooth to prevent trauma to internal body tissue. The plate spans the intervertebral space with each end attached to an adjacent vertebrae by locking screws threadably engaged with tubular bone anchors. The bone anchors include helical members are threaded through the bone plate and inserted into holes within the bone. The plate has a countersunk cavity including portions overlapping the locking screws. A locking cap fits in the cavity to secure the other end of the locking screws from backing-out of the plate. The locking cap includes at least two chamfered portions that cooperate with mating recesses in the countersunk cavity of the bone plate.

A locking nail for treating fractures of tubular bones has at least one cross-bore is provided at one end for the reception of a bone screw. The nail has a female thread at the end with the cross-bore for connection to a nail retention screw. The nail has an anti-rotation feature to anti-rotationally secure the rotational position of a joining sleeve which joins a targeting apparatus relative to the locking nail.

The intramedullary fixation device for use in fixing the relative position between a tubular bone and an adjoining bone has, according to the present invention, an intramedullary nail that is inserted into the medullary canal of the tubular bone whose position is to be fixed, an elongated blade for insertion into the adjoining bone whose position is to be fixed relative to that of the tubular bone, a coupling element for fixing and locking the relative position of the nail and blade after their insertion, and a means for locating and positioning within the bones to-be-treated the nail and blade. Furthermore, the blade has a cross-sectional shape that is configured in consideration of the geometry of the bone into which the blade is to-be-placed and so as to enhance the ability of the blade to stabilize the bone, and these elements are configured so that they do not have to be decouple during the process of inserting the nail and blade.

An implant (1) for attaching the first implant (1) to a tubular bone, in particular a rib bone, includes: a clamp (10) having a fillet (100) and prongs (101, 102, 103) extending from the fillet (100); and a first connecting element (11) for connecting the first implant (1) to a connector implant. The clamp (10) and the connecting element (11) are connected so as to be rotatable relative to each other about an axis.

An implant for the purpose of osteosynthesis, for the immobilization and stabilization of tubular bones, especially of tubular bones that have a fracture or an osteotomy, especially of rib bones, comprises at least a first implant component that has an attachment section with means of attachment for the purpose of attaching the first implant component to a tubular bone, especially in a region of the tubular bone close to a fracture or osteotomy. The first implant component further has a connection section, with the connection section being formed for insertion of a second implant component and immobilization of the second implant component in a position adjustable relative to the first implant component. The connection section comprises a guide device for the purpose of guiding the second implant component as the second implant component is being positioned relative to the first implant component. The guide device permits movement of the second implant component relative to the first implant component only in one direction relative to a longitudinal axis of the connection section. A third implant component, which matches the first implant component in functionality, is attached to the other end of the second implant component.

FIG. 1 shows an inventive implant 1. It has a central fillet 2 extending along a longitudinal axis L. The fillet 2 has openings 3 which are formed at regular intervals. At the level of the openings 3 and extending at right angles on both sides are clamps 4, which, when the implant is inserted, are brought into mutual engagement with a tubular bone and clamped to it. The fillet 2 is formed so as to be bendable in three-dimensions. It can be bent in two planes relative to the longitudinal axis L of the fillet 2 and torqued about the longitudinal axis L. Thus, a simple implant 1 with an overall regular structure is provided which can be cut with a cutting pliers to a desired length.
