Abstract
An osteonsynthesis implant has a plate-shaped base component having at least one hole, at least one axially extending rod-shaped tie rod having a first and a second end and at least one threaded component. The first end of the rod-shaped tie rod can be placed in the hole of the base component. The hole and the first end of the tie rod are formed such that the first end of the tie rod can be locked axially in the hole and is pivoted about an axis of the hole while locked to the plate. The second end of the tie rod is provided with a thread and the threaded component can be screwed onto the thread of the first tie rod. The tie rod can perform a pivoting movement of up to about 20° around the hole axis while locked in the plate hole.
Claims11
An osteonsynthesis implant comprising:
- a plate-shaped base component having at least a first hole, the first hole having first opposite circular segments connected by two arcuate sections having a larger diameter centered at 90° from each circular segment;
- at least a first axially extending rod-shaped tie rod having a first and a second end;
- at least a first threaded component;
- the first end of the first rod-shaped tie rod can be placed in the first hole of the base component;
- where the first hole and the first end of the first tie rod are formed such that the first end of the first tie rod can be locked axially in the first hole and is pivoted about an axis of the first hole while locked to the plate up to about 20° around the axis of the first hole;
- wherein the second end of the first tie rod is provided with a thread;
- and
- where the first threaded component can be screwed onto the thread of the first tie rod and wherein the first end of the first tie rod can be locked in the first hole and pivoted with the first threaded component screwed onto the first tie rod.
An apparatus configured to fasten an osteosynthesis implant, comprising:
- a base plate element having a first attachment hole, the first attachment hole having first opposite circular segments connected by two arcuate sections having a larger diameter centered at 90° from each circular segment;
- a first anchor bolt having an upper and lower end, the upper end having a threaded portion;
- and
- a first threaded fastening bolt, the threaded fastening bolt configured to threadably engage with the threaded portion of the first anchor bolt;
- wherein the lower end of the first anchor bolt and the first attachment hole of the base plate element has a complementary shape to engage and fasten with each other in at least one rotational position of the first anchor bolt with the tip thereof inserted through the hole, and are configured to allow a swivel action of the first anchor bolt while engaged to the first threaded anchor bolt when the first anchor bolt is fastened in the base plate element hole up to an angle of 20° with an axis of the first attachment hole.
