Publication number: 20220202416Abstract: An assembly used in osteosynthesis comprising a delivery instrument in combination with an implant wherein the delivery instrument releasably holds the implant in a first configuration prior to attachment of the implant to bone. The delivery instrument allows the implant to be affixed to bone before the implant is released from the instrument. And the instrument may comprise guide means for drills, depth gauges, screws, pins, pegs, blades and or drivers which are used or implanted when the implant is releasably attached to the instrument. After the implant is affixed to bone and released from the delivery instrument, the implant assumes at least a second configuration which provides compression and or distraction and or control of spatial orientation.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2022Publication date: June 30, 2022Inventors: Vernon R.

Publication number: 20220079578Abstract: A bone plate system may include a bone plate having a bone-facing side, an obverse side displaced from the bone-facing side by a thickness of the bone plate, a first end, and second end displaced from the first end along a longitudinal length of the bone plate. The bone plate may have a first fastener hole extending through the bone plate between the bone-facing side and the obverse side, a second fastener hole extending through the bone plate between the bone-facing side and the obverse side, and a plug extending outwardly from the bone-facing side. The plug may have a cross-sectional shape, perpendicular to the thickness, that is elongated along the longitudinal length.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2021Publication date: March 17, 2022Applicant: CROSSROADS EXTREMITY SYSTEMS, LLCInventors: Vernon R.

Publication number: 20220031371Abstract: A bone plate assembly may include a bone plate with an obverse side, a reverse side, a fastener hole formed through the bone plate from the obverse side to the reverse side, a first draw hole formed through the bone plate from the obverse side to the reverse side, with a wire engagement surface, a fastener insertable through the fastener hole and into tissue, and a first wire insertable into the first draw hole, with a distal end anchorable in the tissue and a proximal end with a retention portion that is retainable in the first draw hole. The wire engagement surface may be oriented obliquely relative to a pilot hole formed in the tissue to receive the wire such that motion of the first wire through the first draw hole exerts a compressive force against the tissue.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2021Publication date: February 3, 2022Applicant: CROSSROADS EXTREMITY SYSTEMS, LLCInventors: Daniel SAYGER, Vernon R.

Patent number: 10433885Abstract: An implant comprising a multi-directional locking mechanism that allows a bone fixation device, such as a screw, to be rigidly affixed to the implant in a plurality of angles relative to the implant. The implant can be a bone plate, a component of a joint prosthesis or the like. The locking mechanism comprises a passage hole in the implant for passage of a bone fixation device therethrough. One or more beam members are arranged adjacent the passage hole and a space is associated with each beam member. Each space allows the associated beam member to move into or about the space upon axial and/or radial deformation of the beam member caused by fastening the bone fixation device to a bone. The beam members and associated elements of the locking mechanism are sufficiently thin to permit axial and/or radial deformation. And said deformation causes the fixation device to be locked in place relative to the implant.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2018Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: Crossroads Extremity Systems, LLCInventors: Vernon R.
