Abstract: A locking cap for a fracture fixation system may include a cap body that extends along a longitudinal axis between a proximal end and a distal end. An external thread extends around at least a portion of the cap body. A passage extends inside the cap body from the distal end toward the proximal end. An internal thread extends about a periphery of the passage along at least a portion of a length of the passage.

Abstract: Techniques for implantable orthopedic pain management devices are disclosed, including incising an opening in a synovial capsule substantially surrounding a joint, using a first tool to form an enlarged opening in the synovial capsule, determining whether to modify the joint, the joint being modified using a second tool if a bone structure coupled to one or more bones is found within the joint and the bone structure is configured to limit articulation of the one or more bones when an implantable device is inserted into the synovial capsule and the joint, and inserting the implantable device into the synovial capsule through the enlarged opening, the implantable device being inserted into the joint using a third tool.

Abstract: Method and device to be used in osteotomy in securing two separated parts of a bone in relation to each other before and after removing an excessive part thereof. After removing and/or holding/keeping apart tissue like muscles, tendons, skin and so on, a longitudinally shaped fixation device is applied atop of a site of said bone (B) where the excision is to be performed. The device is secured with the use of one or more nails or screws at one first end thereof with the use of a hole or holes providing a snug fit to the bone as well as the device. The fixation device is secured at its other second end with the use of one or more elongated holes or slots in the longitudinal direction of the fixation device, which holes once the bone portion to be excised is taken away, provide for movability of the bone ends thus created towards each other.
