Abstract
A fracture fixation system includes a barrel extending along a barrel axis from a proximal end to a distal end having a peripheral wall. The barrel defines a passage through the barrel that extends along the barrel axis. The peripheral wall defines a transverse bore passing through opposing sides of the peripheral wall at the proximal end of the barrel in a direction that is substantially transverse to the barrel axis. The fixation system includes a peg extending along a peg axis and configured for insertion into the passage. The fixation system includes a flange configured for insertion into the transverse bore of the peripheral wall.
Claims20
A fracture fixation system, comprising:
- a barrel extending along a barrel axis from a proximal end to a distal end and having a wall, the barrel defining a passage through the barrel that extends along the barrel axis, wherein the wall defines a transverse bore passing through opposing sides of the wall at the proximal end of the barrel in a direction that is substantially transverse to the barrel axis;
- a peg extending along a peg axis and configured for insertion into the passage;
- and
- a flange configured for insertion into the transverse bore of the wall.
A fracture fixation system, comprising:
- an elongate body extending along a body axis from a proximal end to a distal end, the elongate body defining a passage through the body that extends along the body axis, and the elongate body defining a transverse bore passing through a proximal end of the elongate body in a direction that is substantially transverse to the body axis, wherein the elongate body is configured to be inserted into a neck of a femur;
- and
- a flange configured for insertion into the transverse bore of the elongate body,
- wherein the latch is configured to be inserted into an intramedullary canal of the femur.
