  • Patent number: 11234827
    Abstract: A medical grade thermoplastic or polymer implant with an osteoconductive coating is provided, specifically for corrections of the distal and proximal interphalangeal toe joints of the foot. The implant can be either straight or angled, and can be either solid or cannulated for insertion. The implant is sized and shaped depending on the specific anatomy and desired correction. End portions of the implant may be coated with an osteoconductive coating that promotes bone growth, but may reduce radiolucency. Thus, a central portion of the implant may remain uncoated to increase radiolucency of the implant at the region where two bones come together.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7056322
    Abstract: An intramedullary nail fastener targeting and bone compression/distraction device provides bone fastener alignment and compression or distraction of the bone. The intramedullary nail fastener targeting and bone compression/distraction device has a nail carrier portion, a bone fastener alignment and drill jig portion, and a compression/distraction mechanism. Various sizes of intramedullary nails are retained by the device while alignment carriages provides for proper drilling of the bone and placement of bone fasteners such as screws. The compression/distraction mechanism provides measured compression or distraction of the bone prior to final bone fastener placement.
