  • CONTINUOUS COMPRESSION FIXATION DEVICE FOR THE FUSION OF AN INTERCALARY STRUCTURAL AUGMENT
    Publication number: 20230255776
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for providing a continuous compression fixation device for coupling a first bony structure to a second bony structure. The method can include providing a body structure and providing a plurality of arm structures coupled to and extending from the body structure. The method can include deflecting the tips of the at least one of the plurality of arm structures and the at least one opposed one of the plurality of arm structures away; coupling the at least one of the plurality of arm structures to the first bony structure and the at least one opposed one of the plurality of arm structures to the second bony structure; and releasing the tips of the at least one of the plurality of arm structures and the at least one opposed one of the plurality of arm structures to provide the compressive force.

  • CONTINUOUS COMPRESSION FIXATION DEVICE FOR THE FUSION OF AN INTERCALARY STRUCTURAL AUGMENT
    Publication number: 20210161671
    Abstract: A continuous compression fixation device for coupling a first bony structure to a second bony structure, including: a body structure; and a plurality of arm structures extending from the body structure, wherein at least one of the plurality of arm structures is configured to be coupled to the first bony structure and at least one opposed one of the plurality of arm structures is configured to be coupled to the second bony structure; wherein the body structure and the plurality of arm structures are manufactured from a shape memory material; and wherein tips of the at least one of the plurality of arm structures and the at least one opposed one of the plurality of arm structures are biased towards one another such that a desired compressive force is applied to an intercalary structural augment disposed between the first bony structure and the second bony structure.
