Abstract
Toe fixation prostheses and methods of implementation for the same are discussed herein. A toe fixation prosthesis to compress a first bone to a second bone may include and anchor member and a coupling member. The anchor member may include a first end to couple the anchor member to the first bone and a second end which includes a ramp. The coupling member may include one or more threads to couple to the ramp. The coupling member may be positioned transversally to a length of the second bone.
Claims20
A system for compressing a first bone to a second bone, the system comprising:
- an anchor member comprising:
- a first end configured to couple the anchor member to the first bone;
- and
- a second end comprising a ramp;
- and
- a coupling member comprising one or more threads to couple to the ramp, wherein the coupling member is disposed transversally to a length of the second bone.
A method of compressing a first bone to a second bone, the method comprising:
- securing an anchor member to the first bone, the anchor member comprising a first end to secure the anchor member to the first bone and a second end comprising a ramp;
- and
- coupling the ramp to one or more threads of a coupling member, the coupling member being disposed transversally to a length of the second bone.
An anchor member comprising:
- a first end comprising a first coupling member;
- a second end comprising a loop;
- and
- a first ramp disposed within an inner parameter of the loop, wherein the first ramp is configured to couple to a second coupling member.
