Patent number: 12514626Abstract: A fracture fixation system comprises an elongated bone plate including a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end defining a proximal hole, and the distal end extending along a plate axis and defining a distal hole. The system comprises a beam including a peg extending along a peg axis and a screw extending along a screw axis, the beam having a first end and a second end, and a support pin including a first end and a second end. In an implanted configuration of the fracture fixation system, the peg axis is parallel to the screw axis such that the beam defines a figure-8 shape in a plane perpendicular to the peg and screw axes, the first end of the beam is engaged with the proximal hole of the bone plate, the first end of the support pin is engaged with the distal hole of the bone plate, and the second end of the support pin is engaged with the second end of the beam.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2023Date of Patent: January 6, 2026Assignee: Stryker European Operations LimitedInventors: Nils Zander, James Durham
