20090312803 | Bone Plate and Bone Plate Assemblies Including Polyaxial Fasteners - A system for fixation of bone, including a bone plate with an opening comprising threads made of a first material and a fastener with a head at least partially comprising a polymeric material that is softer than the first material. In some embodiments, when the fastener is inserted into the first opening, the threads of the first opening form threads in the polymeric material on the head of the fastener and secure the fastener in place at one of a plurality of possible angles within the first opening. The first opening additionally accepts a fastener with a substantially spherical head for compression of a fracture, or a fastener with a threaded head that engages with the threads of the threaded opening. In some embodiments the first opening includes a substantially frustoconical-shaped top portion. In other embodiments there may be a second opening that is either non-threaded or comprises a plurality of protruding fins. | 12-17-2009 |
20120109216 | BONE PLATE AND BONE PLATE ASSEMBLIES INCLUDING POLYAXIAL FASTENERS - A bone plate system for fixation of bone includes a bone plate and a first fastener. The bone plate includes a bone contacting surface, an upper surface, and a first opening extending between the bone contacting surface and the upper surface. The first opening includes a lower portion, a non-threaded upper portion, and a threaded portion. The threaded portion includes threads and converges towards the lower portion. The lower portion includes a smallest diameter of the first opening. The first fastener includes a head at least partially comprising a spherical portion and a first material. When the first fastener is inserted into the first opening, the threads of the first opening form threads in the first material on the head of the first fastener to secure the first fastener in place at one of a plurality of possible angles within the first opening. | 05-03-2012 |
20130172943 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USING POLYAXIAL PLATES - Certain embodiments of the invention provide plates for treating periarticular fractures or other non-full body weight bearing applications that combine polyaxial fixation with a low profile and enhanced contouring that more closely conforms to bone. Such plates can be designed to achieve buttressing effect and/or to be used in a reinforcement mode. Other features can be combined with these. Such plates can be created for use on bone sites such as on a tibia, fibula, metatarsal, calcaneous, other foot bone, humerus, radius, ulna, spinal, maxillofacial, as well as sites on other bones. | 07-04-2013 |
20130218007 | TARGETING LANDMARKS OF ORTHOPAEDIC DEVICES - A device for targeting a landmark of an orthopaedic implant including a housing configured to engage a mating structure for attachment of the housing to the orthopaedic implant, and an electromagnetic sensor located at a known position within the housing, wherein, when the housing is engaged with the mating structure, the position of the sensor relative to a landmark of the orthopaedic implant is known for at least five degrees of freedom. | 08-22-2013 |
20140081121 | TARGETING LANDMARKS OF ORTHOPAEDIC DEVICES - A method for targeting a landmark of an orthopaedic implant comprises implanting the orthopaedic implant in a body. The orthopaedic implant having at least one landmark defining two or more locations for targeting and a first magnetic sensor located at a known distance from at least one of the two or more locations. The method includes comprises identifying one of the locations using a landmark identifier, the landmark identifier having at least one of a second magnetic sensor and a magnetic field generator, installing a transfixion element in the at least one landmark, and identifying a second location using the landmark identifier. | 03-20-2014 |
