Techniques are provided for facilitating network devices to obtain configuration updates from a central configuration repository. Configuration update information is received regarding a configuration update in a configuration repository. A data tree is updated based on the configuration update information. An identifier unique to the update is generated. A determination is performed that network device properties of a network device correspond to a set of network device properties indicated for the configuration update information. A notification indicating the availability of the configuration update is sent over one or more networks to the network device.

Transactional distribution of modelled configuration from a centralized server to a plurality of subsidiary devices

A plate for use in the repair of a torn tendon or ligament and a method for using said plate are provided. The plate includes a plurality of screw holes. The plate also includes a suture anchor point disposed on the plate body. The plate further includes a porous portion configured to allow muscle tissue to migrate through the porous portion and into the bone as the tissue regrows. The method includes the step of securing the plate to a bone by inserting a bone screw and anchor screw(s) through the screw holes. The method proceeds to the step of sewing the sutures to the damaged tendon/ligament and securing the suture to the suture anchor point. Wherein the damaged tendon/ligament is attached to the plate, and wherein muscle tissue may migrate through the porous portion and into the bone as the tissue regrows.

Muscle tissue anchor plate

An anatomical shoulder fixation system having a stem having a plurality of holes configured to receive bone screws. The stem having compressible suture locking members protruding from the flared head portion configured to receive and lock an elongated member. The plurality of holes configured to have locking mechanisms abutting the holes. The locking mechanisms preventing the bone screw from backing out while also providing the screw the freedom necessary to realign itself during the healing process. In one locking mechanism embodiment, a locking member utilizing a frustoconical split ring configured lock within a retention groove of the bone screw. Another embodiment has a rotating member with a protrusion that locks into a retention groove of the bone screw. An alternative embodiment has a rotating member that rotates over the bone screw utilizing a complimentary angle between the screw head and the protrusion.

Anatomical humeral fixation system and method

A medical device comprises a mesh and suture combination, the suture having retaining mechanisms such as beads, balls, ratchet surfaces, oblate spheres and/or disks extending along at least a portion of the length of the suture. A clip or tab may be combined with the retaining mechanisms to fix the suture in place, such as during reconstructive surgery. For example, the mesh and suture combination may be used to fix tendons in place with respect to bones as a bone anchor and/or as a support mesh for repair of torn tendons.

Suture mesh and method of use

An anatomical shoulder fixation system comprises a lower portion and an upper portion, the lower portion being a separate part and being coupled to the upper portion adjustably. For example, the relative position of the upper portion to the fixation system is capable of rotating and translating with relation to the lower part, accommodating placement on a shoulder even if displacement of the lesser tuberosity and the greater tuberosity due to fracture or dislocation. Examples include a flexible upper portion coupled to a lower portion or a more rigid upper portion joined to a lower portion, and combinations of these. In both examples, screws may be used to fix the lower portion prior to completing the displacement and fixation of the upper portion. For example, the lower portion may provide structures for attaching sutures, suitable for use with a curved needle shaft and suture.
