  • Publication number: 20120323286
    Abstract: A device for distraction of a bone segment from local bone, or endo-distractor. The device has a rotatable, smooth shaft adjoined by a straight anchoring screw. During the unscrewing of the anchoring screw a carrier piece transfers the axial movement but not the rotation to the bone segment. The carrier piece for the bone segment is a pressure plate which is formed with an open slit and which, by being pushed orthogonally, with respect to the longitudinal direction of the shaft, onto the shaft, can be secured on the latter in the axial direction.

  • Publication number: 20090036896
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the distraction of bones or bone segments. The device comprises an anchoring screw having a longitudinal axis, a screw tip, a screw end for rotatably driving the anchoring screw, a threaded shank which adjoins the screw tip and has a screw thread, and a screw shank adjoining the screw end; and a distraction sleeve axially displaceable on the screw shank including a rear end, a front end, a through-bore extending coaxially therebetween, an external thread adjoining the front end, and a coupler portion formed in the rear end for receiving a driving tool. The anchoring screw comprises a collar positioned between the threaded shank and the screw shank that radially projects at least from the screw shank and which serves as an axial stop for the front end of the distraction sleeve when the distraction sleeve is positioned over the screw shank.
