  • Publication number: 20240081817
    Abstract: An orthopedic implant system can be used to fixate two bones (e.g., to portions of a single bone) relative to each other during a surgical procedure. In some configurations, the implant system includes a staple having at least two legs separated by a bridge. The staple can include at least two couplings on either side of the bridge accessible through a top surface of the staple connectable to two corresponding coupling shafts. The coupling shafts can attach through the top surface of the staple without extending below an underside of the staple. The coupling shafts can be used to bias the at least two legs of the staple away from each other for insertion into holes formed into two bones. By attaching the coupling shafts through the top of the staple, the staple can be inserted flush with the two bones before releasing the shafts.

  • Patent number: 10708042
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure include receiving an electronic request to exchange data items. A digital asset associated with the exchange of the data items is generated including a vault unique identifier, and an asset owner. An exchange block is generated on an exchange chain to record the electronic request. An asset copy is generated on the exchange ledger chain to record a non-permissioned copy of the digital asset independent from the vault unique identifier. An asset block is generated on an asset ledger chain to record an authoritative copy of the digital asset associated with the exchange of the data items on the exchange chain; where the asset block header includes an asset block hash concatenated with the vault unique identifier associated with the digital asset. The authoritative copy of the digital asset associated with the electronic request is displayed in response to a user selection.
