Patent number: 9295504Abstract: An intramedullary nail comprises longitudinal channel, a first transverse passage and a second transverse passage. A lag screw extends through the first transverse passage of the intramedullary nail. An anti-rotation shaft extends through the second transverse passage of the intramedullary nail. A cannulated lag screw lock is positioned in the intramedullary shaft and engages the lag screw. The anti-rotation shaft extends through a cross channel in the lag screw lock. A second shaft lock is positioned in the intramedullary nail with the second shaft lock engaging the anti-rotation shaft. In at least one embodiment, the lag screw lock includes a substantially cylindrical body portion rotatably connected to a threaded head portion. In at least one embodiment, the second shaft lock is provided as an end cap including a threaded upper portion and a lower post portion that extends into the lag screw lock.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2009Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: Biomet C.V.Inventors: George J. Haidukewych, Daniel S. Horwitz, Frank A. Liporace, Andrew Sems, Peter Giannoudis, Anthony J. Metzinger, Charles D. Christie, Andrew H. Berthusen

Patent number: 8257354Abstract: An instrument system is provided for positioning an internal fixation prosthesis and guiding a cannulated bone drill during a surgical, radioscopic procedure for the repair of a fractured bone of a patient. The instrument system includes a target wire, a handle formed from a radio translucent material having a target hole for guided passage of the target wire along a target axis. The target axis coincides with the intersection of a first plane and a second plane orthogonal to the first plane. The instrument system also includes a nose component attached to an end of the handle and removably connectable to the prosthesis. The nose component includes an alignment sight formed from a radio-opaque material.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2009Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: Biomet, C.V.Inventors: Anthony J. Metzinger, Peter Giannoudis, George J. Haidukewych, Frank A. Liporace, Andrew Sems
