Abstract: An implant system for the rapid fixation of tubular bone fractures utilizing a circumferential, flexible, locking band-like device/implant. The implant can be made of bioresorbable materials and inert non-resorbable materials. The implant is placed circumferentially about a fracture site and with the tip inserted into the slot, a ratcheting pawl engages and secures the fixation in a cerclage type manner. The device is comprised of a locking head with insertion slot with pawl, a strap body with ratcheting teeth, and a transition end which is attached to a pop-off needle via suture or extruded monofilament, or an extruded needle-like expansion, or free for use with free needle and suture.
