  • Patent number: 11844705
    Abstract: An implant guide system for hip replacement surgery includes an angle guide member and a first positioning plate. The angle guide member has a body and a protrusion that are substantially connected to each other. The body has a curved surface corresponding in shape to a surface of a patient's acetabulum. The protrusion has a first through hole extending to the body. An acute angle is defined between an extension line of the first through hole and a flat surface of the body. The first positioning plate has a first holding portion and a first spacing portion that are substantially connected to each other. The first spacing portion has a second through hole, a third through hole and a fourth through hole that are parallel to each other.

  • Patent number: 8911482
    Abstract: An interlocking bone plate system includes an outer bone plate for being arranged outside a broken bone, an inner bone plate for being installed inside the medullary cavity of the broken bone, and screws for being inserted through and engaged with the outer bone plate and the broken bone and then engaged with the inner bone plate so as to interlock the out and inner bone plates together. The inner bone plate provides an added support in addition to the support provided by the outer bone plate, enhancing the structural strength of the whole bone fixation structure and lowering the risk of failed surgery.
