Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for promoting healing and stability for bone fractures. The bone stabilization system may include a variety trauma and/or reconstruction plates and one or more bone fasteners configured to secure the plate to bone. The bone plates may be used for the fixation of fractures and fragments in forefoot, midfoot, and hindfoot applications. The foot fracture plating may be used to create a rigid construct with permanent fixation to promote primary healing and stability.
Claims20
A bone stabilization plate comprising:
- an elongate body having a top surface and an opposite, bottom surface configured to contact bone, the elongate body having a first section, a main body, and a second section, and the elongate body defines a plurality of screw holes therethrough,
- wherein the first section is offset from the main body with two tabs, the main body includes a three-hole polyaxial cluster where an axis of each hole is located at vertices of an equilateral triangle, and the second section includes a series of polyaxial holes following a wave pattern.
A bone stabilization plate comprising:
- a body having a top surface and an opposite, bottom surface configured to contact bone, the body having a plurality of rings defining screw holes therethrough, the rings are connected together via struts forming a lattice structure with through spaces remaining between the connections,
- wherein a perimeter of rings are linked together with perimeter struts, and one or more inner rings and inner struts provide cross-bracing to the plate.
A bone stabilization system comprising:
- a bone plate having a top surface and an opposite, bottom surface configured to contact bone, the bone plate defines a plurality of polyaxial screw holes therethrough, wherein the screw holes include a three-hole polyaxial cluster where an axis of each hole is located at vertices of an equilateral triangle;
- and
- a plurality of bone fasteners configured to lock in the polyaxial screw holes.
