Patent number: 11751887Abstract: In one embodiment, a targeting guide is formed by aligning an axis of a cutting instrument with a bone-anchor fixation hole of an intramedullary nail. The cutting instrument is inserted through the bone-anchor fixation hole such that the cutting instrument is in contact with a guide body of a targeting guide, where the targeting guide is supported relative to the intramedullary nail such that the guide body is spaced outwardly from at least a portion of the intramedullary nail along a radial direction. The cutting instrument is then driven through the guide body so as to form an alignment aperture in the targeting guide. The alignment aperture has a central axis that is aligned with the bone-anchor fixation hole.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2019Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventor: Joshua McManus

Publication number: 20230089550Abstract: A bone plate comprises a plate body and at least one tab. The plate body defines an inner body surface configured to face an underlying bone, an outer body surface opposite the inner body surface, and an outer side surface that extends between the inner body surface and the outer body surface. The outer side surface defines an outer perimeter of the plate body. The at least one tab includes a head and an arm that extends from the plate body to the head. The tab defines a tab aperture that extends through the head and is configured to receive a bone anchor. The bone anchor can be coupled with a screw hole in the nail.
