Claims27
An implant for bone fixation, the implant comprising:
- an elongate body having a longitudinal axis and a rectilinear cross section transverse to the longitudinal axis, a plurality of faces, a plurality of apexes joining the plurality of faces, a central lumen extending along the longitudinal axis of the elongate body, and a plurality of holes with openings on the plurality of faces, wherein the holes are in fluid communication with the central lumen.
An implant for bone fixation, the implant comprising:
- an elongate body having a longitudinal axis and a rectilinear cross section transverse to the longitudinal axis, a plurality of faces, a plurality of apexes joining the plurality of faces, a central lumen extending along the longitudinal axis of the elongate body, and a plurality of side pockets extending along a portion of each of the plurality of faces, wherein the side pockets have a depth that does not extend to the central lumen.
An implant for bone fixation, the implant comprising:
- an elongate body having a longitudinal axis and a rectilinear cross section transverse to the longitudinal axis, a plurality of faces, a plurality of apexes joining the plurality of faces, and a central lumen extending along the longitudinal axis of the elongate body, wherein each one of the plurality of apexes includes a groove that extends along the length of the apex.
An implant for bone fixation, the implant comprising:
- an elongate body having a longitudinal axis and a rectilinear cross section transverse to the longitudinal axis, a plurality of faces, a plurality of apexes joining the plurality of faces, and a central lumen extending along the longitudinal axis of the elongate body, wherein each one of the plurality of apexes includes a plurality of pockets located at discrete points along the length of each apex.
An implant for bone fixation, the implant comprising:
- an elongate body having a longitudinal axis, a distal end, a proximal end, and a rectilinear cross section transverse to the longitudinal axis, a plurality of faces, each face formed from a wall with a thickness between about 2 to 3 mm in thickness, and a plurality of fenestrations disposed on each face.
