Abstract
A threaded implant can be provided with an elongated main body having external threads configured to thread into bone, and an internal support structure located within the external threads. The internal support structure has a helical arrangement that extends in an opposite direction to the external threads. Other threaded implants and methods are also disclosed.
Claims15
A threaded implant comprising:
- an elongated main body having external threads configured to thread into bone;
- and
- an internal support structure located within the external threads and having a helical arrangement that extends in an opposite direction to the external threads.
A threaded implant comprising:
- an elongated main body having a proximal end, a mid-section and a distal end;
- a first set of threads provided along the proximal end;
- a second set of threads provided along the distal end;
- and
- a sleeve located on the mid-section of the main body such that it may rotate with respect to the main body while being constrained from axial movement.

A threaded implant comprising:
- an elongated main body having a proximal end, a mid-section and a distal end;
- a head portion located on the proximal end of the main body and configured to abut against an outer surface of a bone segment;
- and
- a threaded portion located on the distal end of the main body, wherein the threaded portion has a transverse cross-section that is triangular in shape.
