The invention is generally a device and method of using the device that places a hinged plate over the anterior pubic symphysis and places screws across the anterior limbs of the triradiate cartilage that simultaneously guides growth to improve the coverage of the femoral head in a minimally invasive fashion without pelvic osteotomy.
Claims20
A method for modulating pelvic bone growth, comprising:
- providing an implant system comprising a plate including a first screw hole and a second screw hole;
- placing the plate over an anterior pubic symphysis of a pelvis;
- screwing a first screw through the first screw hole of the plate and into the pelvis, wherein the first screw penetrates a first anterior limb of a first triradiate cartilage of a first acetabulum of the pelvis;
- and
- screwing a second screw through the first screw hole of the plate and into the pelvis, wherein the second screw penetrates a second anterior limb of a second triradiate cartilage of a second acetabulum of the pelvis.

A method for modulating pelvic bone growth, comprising:
- providing an implant system comprising a plate including a first screw hole and a second screw hole;
- positioning the plate proximate to a pubic symphysis of a pelvis;
- screwing a first screw through the first screw hole of the plate and into the pelvis, wherein the first screw penetrates a first anterior limb of a first triradiate cartilage of a first acetabulum of the pelvis to modulate a growth of the first acetabulum;
- and
- screwing a second screw through the first screw hole of the plate and into the pelvis.
2 more elements
A method, comprising:
- providing an implant system comprising a first screw hole;
- and
- inserting a first screw through the first screw hole of the implant system and into a pelvis, wherein the first screw penetrates a first anterior limb of a first triradiate cartilage of a first acetabulum of the pelvis to modulate a growth of the first acetabulum.
