There is disclosed a bone fixation device that can include a cage having an optional mesh portion. The bone fixation device can be configured to couple a leg portion to a foot portion of a user's body. In at least one embodiment, the device includes at least one cage having a plurality of struts forming cells. There can be an optional mesh portion having a pre-set porosity that can be either constant or variable in density. In at least one embodiment there can be a cage portion which is substantially spherical shaped. Alternatively, the device can be substantially egg shaped. In at least one embodiment there can be a central post hole for receiving a post. In another embodiment at least one plate or shaft can connect to the cage.

Bone fixation device

There is an implant, comprising a plate portion at a first end, and a stem portion at a second end extending away from an end of the plate portion. In one embodiment, the plate portion comprises a first lobe with a first screw hole; and a second lobe with a second screw hole, wherein the first lobe is adjacent to the second lobe. There is also method of inserting an implant, comprising preparing a patient's bones, performing an osteotomy on the patient's bones to form a first bone segment and a second bone segment, aligning the first bone segment and the second bone segment and inserting an implant into an intramedullary canal in the second bone segment.

Bone fixation device and method of use

An internal bone fixation device that includes a support frame that is strong but able to absorb compressive forces and that surrounds a porous architecture that helps facilitate bone fusion.

Internal bone fixation device

There is a fixation device for promoting fusion and/or osteosynthesis of a first bone segment and a second bone segment, comprising a bone plate portion including an outer surface, an inner surface and at least one fixation aperture extending from the outer surface to the inner surface and a bone wedge portion extending from the plate portion at a first end and a free opposite end, the bone wedge portion comprising a porous architecture configured to promote bone ingrowth, the wedge portion defining first and second engagement surfaces for engaging the first bone segment and a second bone segment, respectively. There is also a method of manufacturing a fixation device for promoting fusion and/or osteosynthesis of a first bone segment and a second bone segment, a method of promoting fusion and/or osteosynthesis of a first bone segment and a second bone segment, and a fixation kit.
