Reduction tool

A system for providing reduction of a bone fracture, the system comprising:

• a screw;
• a driver configured to drive the screw into a bone;
• an inner sleeve comprising a longitudinal bore extending along a length of the inner sleeve between a first end of the inner sleeve and a second end of the inner sleeve, the longitudinal bore of the inner sleeve configured to enable the driver to be inserted through the inner sleeve, wherein the inner sleeve comprises:
• a retaining sleeve configured to couple to the screw;
• and
• a compression mechanism configured to provide a compressive force as the screw is driven into the bone;
• an outer sleeve comprising a longitudinal bore configured to enable insertion of the inner sleeve through the outer sleeve;
• one or more channels, wherein each of the one or more channels comprises a first channel portion and a second channel portion;
• and
• a locking sleeve comprising a longitudinal bore configured to enable insertion of the outer sleeve through the locking sleeve, wherein the locking sleeve comprises one or more pins disposed within the longitudinal bore of the locking sleeve, each of the one or more pins configured to slidably engage a corresponding one of the one or more channels of the inner sleeve, wherein the locking sleeve is configurable into a first state that locks the locking sleeve to the outer sleeve and prevents the retaining sleeve from exiting the outer sleeve, wherein the locking sleeve is configured into the first state when the one or more pins are slidably engaged with the first channel portion of the corresponding ones of the one or more channels of the inner sleeve, wherein the locking sleeve is configurable into a second state that unlocks the outer sleeve from locking sleeve and enables the retaining sleeve to exit the outer sleeve, and wherein the locking sleeve is configured into the second state when the one or more pins are slidably engaged with the second channel portion of the corresponding ones of the one or more channels of the inner sleeve.

A system for providing reduction of a bone fracture, the system comprising:

• a screw;
• a driver configured to drive the screw into a bone, wherein the driver comprises one or more notches;
• a retaining sleeve coupled to a first end of the driver, wherein the retaining sleeve is configured to couple to the screw;
• a sleeve comprising a longitudinal bore extending along a length of the sleeve between a first end of the sleeve and a second end of the sleeve, wherein the longitudinal bore is configured to enable the first end of the driver to be inserted through the first end of the sleeve and enable the retaining sleeve to be inserted through the second end of the sleeve, and wherein the longitudinal bore of the sleeve comprises a threaded portion and the driver comprises one or more threads configured to interface with the threaded portion of the longitudinal bore of the sleeve;
• a locking mechanism configurable into a first state that locks the sleeve to the driver and a second state that unlocks the sleeve from the driver, wherein the locking mechanism is integrated with the sleeve, wherein, when the locking mechanism is configured into the first state, the locking mechanism engages the one or more notches of the driver such that rotation of the driver causes simultaneous rotation of the sleeve, and wherein, when the locking mechanism is configured into the second state, the locking mechanism disengages the one or more notches of the driver such that rotation of the driver is independent of rotation of the sleeve.
