  • Patent number: 11963880
    Abstract: Various cannulated bone implants and methods of using the cannulated bone implant are disclosed. The cannulated bone implant can include a proximal portion, a proximal end, a distal portion, a distal end, a transition portion, a threaded portion, a finned portion and a central passage. The transition portion can comprise a bend positioned between the proximal portion and the distal portion. The threaded portion can be positioned along the proximal portion between the proximal end and the transition portion. The threaded portion can be configured to secure the implant into a bone of a patient. The finned portion can be positioned along the distal portion between the transition portion and the distal end. The finned portion can be configured to prevent migration and/or rotation of the implant in use. The central passage can extend linearly from the proximal end of the implant to the distal end of the implant.
