Bone fixing implant devices and systems

Abstract

The present specification relates to devices, systems and methods for fixing a fracture in orthopaedic procedures. The specification provides a bone implant for supporting a damaged bone or for fixing a bone fracture, comprising: a shaft having a proximal end and a distal end and a longitudinal axis (L-L); the shaft having a threaded shaft portion extending in a proximal to distal direction and located proximate the distal end; the shaft having an unthreaded shaft portion located between a proximal end of the shaft and the threaded shaft portion; an archway extending from the distal end of the threaded shaft portion, the archway forming a tunnel that is configured to receive a bone fixing screw in a direction (T-T) that is inclined to the longitudinal axis; and the proximal end of the shaft configured to allow a user to drive the shaft into bone. Related methods and systems are also described.
