  • Patent number: 11660130
    Abstract: A wrist arthrodesis plate (20) consisting of a distal region (21) and of a proximal region (22) which adjoins the distal region (21) in the direction of a longitudinal axis (A). The plate (20) is of such a shape and size that the distal region (21) of the plate can be fastened to the carpus (1) and a proximal region (22) of the plate can be fastened to the radius (3) by fastening devices, such as screws, which can be inserted into plate holes. A distal end region (29), which comprises a farthest distal location (23) of the plate (20), is of a shape and size that the distal end region (29) can be placed with the farthest distal location (23) exactly, and only, on a carpal bone from the group comprising trapezium (11), trapezoid (10), capitate (9) and hamate (8), without covering any part of the laterally adjacent bones.

  • Patent number: 10582959
    Abstract: A screw (1), in particular a bone screw, comprising a head (16), a shaft (2) and a point (15). The screw (1) has a recess (4) with a contour (5) on a head side (3), The screw (1) is provided with an insertion post (8) in the recess (4), which insertion post is connected to the screw (1) via a predetermined breaking point (7). After breaking the predetermined breaking point and separation of the insertion post (6) from the screw (12), a counter-contour (13) of a tool (12) can be brought into operative connection with the contour (5) of the recess (4). The predetermined breaking point (7) is arranged within the recess (4) such that, after removal of the insertion post (6), a transmission of torque is possible between the tool (12) and the screw (1) via the contour (5) and the counter-contour (13).

  • Patent number: 9131973
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an osteosynthesis system (1) comprising at least one bone plate (2), at least one blade (3) and at least one bone anchor (4). The blade (3) is configured such as to be insertable at a predefined angle (?) in relation to the bone plate (2) through a through hole (8) provided on a first longitudinal portion (6) of said bone plate (2) and into a bone. The blade (3) comprises at least one opening (9) which is configured such as to be aligned with at least one bone anchor hole (5) provided on a second part (7) of the bone plate (2) when the blade (3) is fully inserted into said through hole (8), such that the bone anchor (4) may be inserted through said bone anchor hole (5) and said opening (9).
