  • Compression screw systems for compressing bones of the extremities
    Patent number: 10321942
    Abstract: Compression screw systems for stabilizing and/or compressing bones of the extremities, characterized by a compression screw component and a hook component. The hook component is received on the compression screw component in any rotational position relative to the compression screw component in order to orient the hook component relative to a bone or bones requiring stabilization and/or compression. The hook component includes an anti-rotation feature, while a configured flange thereof provides a hook that extends about and overhangs a part of the bone. The compression screw component and the hook component may include cooperating structures that allow the hook component to attach to the compression screw component or allow the compression screw component to self-orientate with respect to the hook component upon compressing engagement of the compression screw head with the hook component. The configured flange of the hook component may terminate with a single, double or multiple tined prong.
