20100262185	Method and apparatus for aperture fixation by securing flexible material with a knotless fixation device - A knotless aperture fixation system, and method for use thereof, for securing a flexible material (i.e., suture, cable, fiber tape, or any other suitable flexible material) to a nearby tissue using knotless fixation achieved by a compression fit of the flexible material between two smooth surfaces. The system comprises a cylindrical or spherical flanged sleeve with threaded upper portion and smooth tapered lower portion is used in conjunction with a headless set screw with a bullet-shaped tip to achieve a compression fit of the flexible material between the smooth tapered lower portion of the sleeve and the smooth bullet-shaped tip of the headless set screw. The system may be used in conjunction with an expanded washer with a recessed lip, a flanged washer, or a bone plate with an opening containing a recessed lip.	10-14-2010
20100137866	Ulna fixation - An improved means for fixation of a fractured coronoid process of the proximal ulna. A substantially rigid plate is secured to the anterior aspect of the proximal ulna relative to a fracture of the coronoid process of the ulna. The plate contains a hook feature at the proximal aspect and is positioned so that it extends over the proximal/anterior aspect of the coronoid process relative to the fracture. The plate has surfaces that define a plurality of openings through which suture and/or screws can pass. The openings may contain a recess at a side of the plate opposite the ulna. At least one hole is formed in the ulna. At least one anchor may be secured to a flexible device, positioned at a side of the plate opposite the ulna, secured to another anchor on the posterior aspect of the ulna and the flexible device tensioned. At least one screw may be inserted through the plate and into the coronoid process or a bone fragment securing it to the plate.	06-03-2010
