Abstract
The invention relates to a trochanter stabilizing device (40), especially for fixing bone fragments in the region of the hip joint (11) or for fixing the greater trochanter (12), including A) bone stabilizing means (1) consisting of a central plate (2) with at least one fixing perforation (13) for receiving a bone fixing means (20); B) a longitude bone plate (30) with a bushing (31) arranged at an angle for receiving a fixing element (50) which can be introduced into the region of the hip joint (11) fixed thereto, whereby C) at least three peripheral arms (4) originate from the central plate (2), whereby D) each peripheral arm (4) is provided with at least one hole (5) for receiving a bone fixing means (20).
Claims24
A device for repairing femoral fractures comprising,
- a central plate having a longitudinal axis, an upper surface, a lower surface, and at least one opening through the plate from the upper surface to the lower surface configured for receiving a bone fixation element;
- and
- at least three arms extending from a first end of the central plate, each arm having an upper surface, a lower surface and at least one hole through the arm from the upper surface to the lower surface configured for receiving a bone fixation element;
- wherein at least a portion of the at least one hole in at least one of the arms includes internal threads.
A device for repairing femoral fractures comprising,
- a femoral head implant;
- a sideplate having an angled sleeve configured for receiving the femoral implant, and at least one hole for receiving a bone fastener;
- a central plate having a longitudinal axis, an upper surface, a lower surface, and at least one opening through the plate from the upper surface to the lower surface configured for receiving a bone fastener;
- at least three arms extending from a first end of the central plate, each arm having an upper surface, a lower surface and at least one threaded hole through the arm from the upper surface to the lower surface configured for receiving a bone fastener;
- wherein the sideplate and the central plate are configured and adapted for attachment to a femur, and the at least three arms are configured for stabilizing trochanteric fractures of the femur.
