Abstract: Apparatus for medication delivery to a patient wearing a therapeutic brace. The medication delivery system includes a medication delivery device working in conjunction with a brace. The delivery device includes a bladder formed from two opposing sheets that are joined at a peripheral edge. The sheet positioned adjacent the brace is impermeable to the medication and the opposite sheet is permeable and is in contact with the epidermis of the patient when the brace is worn. In one embodiment, the device includes a port that extends from the bladder through the brace, allowing medication to be introduced into the bladder when the delivery device is attached to the brace. In another embodiment, the port extends longitudinally from the bladder. A sealing sheet is releasably attached to the bladder to seal the medication in the bladder.

Abstract: A system and a method for reducing a proximal fractured humerus includes a fracture reduction plate and an elongated pin including a plurality of threads. The elongated pin is configured to be inserted through the fracture reduction plate and engage with a humeral head. The fracture reduction plate is placed on the fractured humerus and provisionally secured. Sutures may be used to guide the fracture reduction plate into place on the fractured humerus. Next, the elongated pin is engaged with the humeral head at a superior angle relative to the humerus and the fracture is reduced. The elongated pin may be used to push the humeral head in a superior direction while pulling on the humeral head using the sutures. The fracture reduction plate can then be secured to the humerus and the elongated pin removed. Bone graft material may be applied to the fracture reduction site.
