Abstract
A bone implant including a wire mesh support frame having a plurality of interconnected wire members and at least two fastening points in the form of retention eyelets connected to the support frame by at least one of the wire members, and a biocompatible plate formed about the support frame, the plate having a bore associated with each of the retention eyelets.
Claims18
A bone implant comprising:
- (a) a wire mesh support frame comprising a plurality of interconnected wire members, and at least two fastening points comprising retention eyelets, each of the retention eyelets connected to the support frame by at least one of said wire members, each of the retention eyelets having a bone-facing surface;
- and
- (b) a biocompatible plate formed about the support frame, the plate having an outer surface, a bone-facing surface, and a bore associated with each of said retention eyelets, each of said bores extending from the outer surface to the bone-facing surface of the plate and axially aligned with the associated eyelet;
- wherein each of said retention eyelets is positioned such that the bone-facing surface of the eyelet is adjacent to and protrudes away from the bone-facing surface of the plate, such that said retention eyelets are located for use in securing the implant to bone with the bone-facing surfaces of the retention eyelets in contact with the bone;
- and
- wherein each of said retention eyelets is located within a cavity in the bone-facing surface of the plate.
3 more elements
A bone implant comprising:
- (a) a wire support frame;
- (b) first and second retention eyelets connected to the wire support frame, each of the retention eyelets adapted to receive a fastener therethrough for securing the implant to bone in a patient;
- and
- (c) a biocompatible plate formed about the wire support frame, the plate having an outer surface, a bone-facing surface, an outer perimeter, and first and second bores axially aligned with said first and second retention eyelets, respectively, each of said bores extending from the outer surface to the bone-facing surface of the plate such that the fasteners can be inserted through the bores into the axially aligned retention eyelets, wherein a portion of each of said retention eyelets is located within a cavity in the bone-facing surface of the plate;
- and
- wherein said wire support frame further comprises first and second sleeves lining the first and second bores, respectively.
