Abstract
Orthopedic implants, surgical tools and surgical methods. More particularly, a system for surgical treatment of the elbow region for various fractures. The implants include an assortment of humerus plates, an olecranon plate system, and an elbow stabilization system. In order to assist in surgery, the system includes guides for the humerus, a coronoid fracture reduction clamp and an olecranon osteotomy clamp. Methods of using the various devices are also disclosed.
Claims13
An elbow stabilization system, comprising:
- a humerus plate adapted to be connected to an external surface at a distal end of the humerus, wherein the plate has an upper proximal segment that includes a plurality of apertures adapted for fasteners that connect the humerus plate to the humerus,
- an adjustable link hingedly connected to the humerus plate and having a hinge adapted to be a located adjacent where the lateral collateral ligament attaches to the humerus, wherein the adjustable link is independently adjustable in length and at least two different angles and also able to be subsequently locked in length and angle after a desired length and angle have been established;
- and
- an ulna plate system comprising an inner plate and an outer plate each including a pair of apertures disposed at opposite ends of the plate and adapted for fasteners to fix the plates to the ulna, wherein an ulna end of the adjustable link is fixedly connectable to the ulna inner and outer plates.
1 more element
A distal humerus lateral plate system, comprising:
- the plate having a longitudinal length and a width narrower than the length, the plate having an upper proximal first end and a lower distal second end, wherein a lower portion of the plate curves outwardly to adapt to a contour of the humerus above a lateral epicondyle of the humerus, wherein the second end of the plate includes an inwardly curved section adapted to the contour of the lateral epicondyle,
- wherein the plate has a plurality of vertically spaced apertures for fasteners along the longitudinal length of the plate.
A distal humerus medial plate system, comprising:
- the plate having a longitudinal length and a width narrower than the length, the plate having an upper proximal first end and a lower distal second end, wherein a lower portion of the plate curves outwardly to adapt to a contour of the humerus above the medial epicondyle of the humerus, and wherein the plate has a plurality of vertically spaced apertures for fasteners along the longitudinal length of the plate.
