Abstract
An attaching device includes an anchoring plate 11 having four bores 12, 13, 14, 15 receiving two crimping tubes 19, 29 and two crimping rings 17, 18 for holding a multi-ply cable 20 or 21. The crimping tubes are adapted to be placed into holes drilled through the femur below the trochanter major, so as to guide the cables 20, 21 passing through the femur wall. The device is adapted to be used for attaching the trochanter major to the femur in the case of a trochanterotomy.
Claims14
An attaching device especially suited for attaching the trochanter major to the femur comprising an anchoring plate having at least two bores extending through said anchoring plate, at least one crimping tube carried by said anchoring plate and positioned in one of said bores, at least one crimping ring carried by said anchoring plate and positioned in a second of said bores, and at least one multi-ply tractive cable having one end crimped in said at least one crimping tube and its other end adapted to be received in and through said at least one crimping ring.
An attaching device especially suited for attaching the trochanter major to the femur comprising an anchoring plate, at least one crimping tube carried by said anchoring plate, at least one crimping ring carried by said anchoring plate, at least one multi-ply tractive cable having one end crimped in said at least one crimping tube and its other end adapted to be received in said at least one crimping ring, wherein said anchoring plate includes at least two bores, one of which receives said at least one crimping tube, and the other bore receiving said at least one crimping ring, and wherein said bore which receives said crimping ring has a diameter greater than that of said crimping ring.
An attaching device especially suited for attaching the trochanter major to the femur comprising an anchoring plate, at least one crimping tube carried by said anchoring plate, at least one crimping ring carried by said anchoring plate, and at least one multi-ply tractive cable having one end crimped in said at least one crimping tube and its other end adapted to be received in said at least one crimping ring, wherein the longitudinal axis of said at least one crimping tube is oriented with respect to the longitudinal axis of said at least one crimping ring to form an angle of between 30 and 60 degrees.
A kit including an attaching device especially suited for attaching the trochanter major to the femur comprising an anchoring plate, two crimping rings carried by said anchoring plate, two crimping tubes carried by said anchoring plate between said crimping rings, and two multi-ply tractive cables each having one end crimped in one of said crimping tubes and its other end adapted to be received in one of said crimping rings, a tool for positioning said attaching device in a desired site on the femur below the trochanter major, said tool comprising a positioning and guiding plate having a lower surface adapted to be positioned facing the femur, said guiding plate supporting said crimping rings, and said guiding plate including bores for guiding a drill.
