20080312702 | Reference Pin - Described is a reference pin for use during a bone fracture treatment. The pin may include a longitudinal shaft and a spreading member. The longitudinal shaft with a longitudinal axis, a front end, a rear end and a through hole penetrating the shaft from the front end to the rear end. The shaft includes a rear portion adjoining the rear end and an expandable front portion adjoining the front end. The expandable front portion is insertable in a distal locking hole of an intramedullary nail and reversibly expandable transversely to the longitudinal axis. The spreading member is moveably located in the through hole and apt for reversibly expanding the expandable front end portion. The expandable front portion is reversibly expandable within a range between 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm. | 12-18-2008 |
20090012528 | Apparatus for Treating Spinal Stenosis - A device for treating spinal stenosis having an implant body structure sized and configured to be positioned between the spinous processes of two adjacent vertebrae. The device may have a body portion having a first end portion, a second end portion and a sleeve between the first and second end portions. The device may also have at least two retainers positioned in and extendable from the body portion. A mechanism positioned within the body portion may be used to move the retainers between a retracted position and a deployed position. When the retainers are in the deployed position, the retainers may be positioned around the spinous process of at least one of two adjacent vertebrae. A plurality of installation tools which may be used to install the device are also disclosed. | 01-08-2009 |

20110106080 | Intramedullary Nail - An intramedullary nail includes (a) a longitudinal nail body extending from a proximal end to a distal end and having a central longitudinal axis and a diameter D, the nail body being configured for insertion into a medullary cavity of a bone, the nail body having a proximal portion and a distal portion longitudinally separated from one another; (b) a first transverse hole extending through the distal portion of the nail body at an angle transverse to the central longitudinal axis and defining a first transverse hole axis, the first transverse hole axis being offset from the central longitudinal axis of the nail body; and (c) a second transverse hole extending through the distal portion of the nail body at an angle transverse to the central longitudinal axis and defining a second transverse hole axis. The first transverse hole axis intersects the second transverse hole axis. | 05-05-2011 |
20120203226 | Bone Screw - A system and method are for bone fixation. A radially expandable sleeve is inserted over an elongated shaft of a bone screw. The bone screw and radially expandable sleeve are inserted into a transverse opening extending through a bone fixation device positioned in a bone until the radially expandable sleeve is fully housed within the transverse opening. The bone screw is further screwed into the bone relative to the radially expandable sleeve to cause expansion of the radially expandable sleeve within the bone fixation device, thereby locking the sleeve to the bone fixation device. | 08-09-2012 |
