US 2024/0189003 A1 · Construct for Bone Plate Modularity and Augmentation

Abstract

Methods and systems related to osteosynthesis are discussed herein. A construct for bone plate modularity and augmentation is disclosed. As used herein, the term “construct” refers to the functional combination of two or more implants, such as bone screws and bone plates. The construct includes a bone plate having a bone-facing surface and an opposite surface, at least one hole through the bone plate from the bone-facing surface to the opposite surface, and a primary threaded element. The primary threaded element extends through the hole, spans between the bone-facing surface and the opposite surface, and has a tip located on a side of the bone plate. The construct also includes a threaded interface separate from the bone plate, located on the side of the bone plate, and locking the primary threaded element in place in the construct.
