Abstract
A fusion device assembly for fusion of a joint, including a self-harvesting fusion device, including a distal end, a proximal end, a radially outward facing surface including threading, a bore extending from the proximal end, at least one aperture, and at least one flute arranged at least partially adjacent the at least one aperture and operatively arranged to direct bone material into the bore.
Claims19
A fusion device assembly for fusion of a joint, comprising:
- a self-harvesting fusion device, including:
- a distal end;
- a proximal end;
- a longitudinal length extending from the distal end to the proximal end;
- a radially outward facing surface including threading;
- a bore extending from the proximal end;
- at least one aperture;
- and
- at least one flute arranged at least partially adjacent the at least one aperture and operatively arranged to direct bone material into the bore, wherein the at least one flute extends less than 50% of the longitudinal length;
- wherein the threading decreases in pitch in a direction from the distal end to the proximal end.
