Abstract: An intramedullary nail can extend along a central axis. The intramedullary nail can include a first nail member, a bone anchor, and a biasing element. The first nail member can be configured to be positioned in a medullary canal of a bone. The first nail member can define a slot and at least one first bone fixation hole. The at least one bone fixation hole can be configured to receive a respective at least one first bone fixation element so as to couple the first nail member to a first bone portion of the bone. The bone anchor can be at least partially within the slot and configured to couple to a second bone portion of the bone. The biasing element can be configured to apply a biasing force to the bone anchor and the first nail member so as to urge at least one of the first nail member and the bone anchor toward the other of the first nail member and the bone anchor so as to create compression between the first and second bone portions.

Abstract: An intramedullary nail can extend along a central axis and include a first member, a second member, and a biasing member. The first member can be positioned in a medullary canal of a bone. The first member can define a first bone fixation hole configured to receive a first bone fixation element so as to couple the first member to a first bone portion. The second member can be inserted into the first member and can define a second bone fixation hole configured to receive a respective second bone fixation element so as to couple the second member to a second bone portion spaced from the first bone portion. The biasing member can apply a biasing force to one of the first and second members so as to decrease a distance from the first bone fixation hole to the second bone fixation hole, thereby creating a continuous compression force between the first and second bone members at their interface.

Abstract: In one example a method of fracture reduction includes imaging, intraoperatively, a fractured bone of a patient to obtain a first representation of the fractured bone in a computing system. The fractured bone defines at least a first bone fragment, and a second bone fragment that is separated from the first bone fragment by a fracture. The method includes imaging, intraoperatively, a contralateral bone of the patient to obtain a second representation of the contralateral bone in the computing system. The method includes generating, intraoperatively in the computing system, a mirrored representation of the first representation or the second representation. The first representation is compared to a representation of a desired orientation of the fractured bone, where the representation of the desired orientation is the mirrored representation of the second representation.

Abstract: A bone plate system is designed for use on a bone, which may be a humerus. The system includes an elongated bone plate extending along a longitudinal axis, the bone plate having an upper surface, an opposed bone-facing surface, and a boundary edge of the bone plate; and at least one threaded fastener hole extending from the upper surface to the bone-facing surface. The fastener holes are designed to receive a bone fastener to couple the bone plate to the bone. A plurality of first suture-receiving structures are connected with the bone plate and project from the boundary edge of the bone plate, so that the first suture-receiving structures are spaced from each another along the boundary edge of the bone plate. Each of the first suture-receiving structures comprises a wire loop anchored to the upper surface or to the bone-facing surface of the bone plate.

Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to condylar implant assemblies and methods for inserting an implant assembly for supporting the condylar head of a bone. More particularly the disclosure relates to an implant assembly for use in support of the condyle of a humerus, femur, or other bones having a condyle comprising spongy bone. In some implementations, the implant assembly may be inserted into the head of the bone and bands of a dilating member of the implant assembly may be expanded through slots in a tube of the implant assembly for supporting the condylar head of the bone.
