  • Publication number: 20230200871
    Abstract: Periprosthetic bone plates are disclosed including, for example, a periprosthetic distal femur plate. In use, the bone plate is configured for use in periprosthetic fractures. That is, the bone plate includes one or more features to facilitate positioning and securement of the bone plate to a patient's bone that previously received a surgically implanted orthopedic implant such as, for example, an intramedullary nail, a hip prosthesis, a knee prosthesis, etc. In use, the one or more features are designed and configured to facilitate avoidance of the previous surgically implanted orthopedic implant. In addition, the bone plate is configured to facilitate percutaneous insertion of the bone plate against the patient's bone while minimizing soft tissue irritation. In addition, and/or alternatively, the bone plate is configured to provide improved contouring to facilitate better positioning of the bone plate against the patient's bone (e.g., better contouring adjacent patient's greater trochanter).

  • Publication number: 20220395303
    Abstract: Periprosthetic bone fixation plates are disclosed including, for example, periprosthetic proximal femur plate, periprosthetic distal femur plate, periprosthetic humerus plate, periprosthetic ring plate, and periprosthetic troch plate. In use, the periprosthetic bone fixation plates are arranged and configured for use in periprosthetic fractures. That is, the periprosthetic plates include one or more features to facilitate positioning and securement of the bone fixation plate to a patients bone that previously received a surgically implanted orthopedic device or implant such as, for example, an intramedullary nail, a hip prosthesis, a knee prosthesis, etc. In use, the one or more features are designed and configured to facilitate avoidance of the previous surgically implanted orthopedic device or implant. In addition, the periprosthetic bone fixation plates are arranged and configured to facilitate plating of a longer working length as compared to existing bone fixation plates (e.g.
