  • Publication number: 20220168027
    Abstract: Devices, methods and systems for remedying or preventing fractures of the bone are disclosed. The devices, and corresponding methods and systems, may include first and second members each having a proximal end, a distal end and a middle portion and an outer surface. The first member may be configured to be positioned at least partially within the femoral neck of the femur. The second member may be configured to be oriented at an oblique angle relative to the first member and mechanically engaged with the first member through an interlocking connection between the distal end of the second member and the middle portion or the distal end of the first member.

  • Patent number: 10278748
    Abstract: A bone implant (1) for stabilizing fractured or non-fractured bones comprises an implant body (2), preferably a cylindrical body, extending along a longitudinal axis (3) from a front side (4) to an end side (5). The implant has an implant width (6) extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis (3), and a length of the implant body (2) along the longitudinal axis (3) is at least 5 times the width (6) of the implant. The implant body (2) has an outer surface, being at least divided into a first surface (7) and a second surface (8. The first surface (7) comprises an anchorage area (9) which extends at least partially over the outer surface, preferably maximum over half of the outer surface.

  • Patent number: 8979899
    Abstract: The invention concerns a distance-keeping inter-process implant with a body ending in its posterior part with two opposite-situated resistance protrusions. In the anterior part of the body there are situated at least two wings, at least one of which is a mobile wing connected with the body by an articulated joint. Each wing is provided with at least one guide of the tensioning band. The articulated joint between the mobile wing and the body is formed by the mutually collaborating shaped surface of the. wing (and the shaped surface of the body and is usefully secured by the pin that constitutes the axis of rotation of the mobile wing. In an alternative version of the implementation of the implant, the mobile wing connected with the body is provided with at least one arm situated with respect to the wing at the angle ? amounting to from 30° to 150°.

  • Patent number: 8556975
    Abstract: A device for use as an implant for surgical displacement of vertebrae, and that is comprised of two parts co-working in a sliding way: a sliding part with an internal thread and a carrier part, and also a driving element with an external thread which is located between the parts, is described. The driving element includes a head and the sliding part of the device includes a threaded guideline cooperating with the driving element and a seat of a diameter corresponding with the head's diameter and length greater than the head's length, and the carrier part has a seat of a diameter and length corresponding with the head's diameter and length.

  • Patent number: 8241332
    Abstract: The invention concerns a distance-keeping inter-process implant with a body (1) ending in its posterior part with two opposite-situated resistance protrusions (2). In the anterior part of the body (1) there are situated at least two wings (5, 6), at least one of which is a mobile wing (6) connected with the body (1) by an articulated joint. Each wing (5, 6) is provided with at least one guide (11, 13, 14, 15) of the tensioning band (4). The articulated joint between the mobile wing (6) and the body (1) is formed by the mutually collaborating shaped surface (7) of the. wing (6) and the shaped surface (8) of the body (1) and is usefully secured by the pin (12) that constitutes the axis of rotation of the mobile wing (6). In an alternative version of the implementation of the implant, the mobile wing (6) connected with the body (1) is provided with at least one arm (16) situated with respect to the wing (6) at the angle ? amounting to from 30° to 150°.
