An orthopedic implant is specifically configured for use in osteotomies, in which part of the implant extends into an intramedullary portion of a first bone segment and a plate portion is external to the cortical surface of an adjacent bone segment to fix the segments to allow them to fuse. The body of the implant has a first end and a second end where the end which is inserted into the bone has a chamfer and a through hole having a hole axis optionally at an oblique angle to the longitudinal axis of the implant, and which can receive a screw, peg or pin. The second end of the implant includes a plate portion with at least two offset screws.

Intramedullary implant with proximal plate and method for its use

The invention relates to an orthopedic implant system comprising an implant including a threaded aperture which receives either a first non-locking bone fastener or a second threaded variable axis locking fastener. The threaded aperture includes interruptions to form sections having a thread segment. The variable axis locking fastener has a threaded head configured to cause the threads to wedge against the female threads of the aperture as the fastener is tightened into the aperture in an off-axis orientation. In a further embodiment, the aperture includes a concentric annular groove to form flexible threaded tines.

Orthopedic implant system for variable angle locking having engineered mating thread engagement

The invention comprises an elastomeric athletic or orthopedic brace, support for a joint complex and is a network of interlinking elastomeric bands that extend radially from a hub member having a section of reduced rigidity to support a joint in tension but provide for controlled hinging about an axis defined through the hub member. In particular, the brace is provided for an ankle.

Living hinge for athletic brace or support

The invention comprises an elastomeric athletic or orthopedic brace, support for a joint complex and is a network of interlinking elastomeric bands that extend radially from a hub member to support a joint in tension but provide for controlled hinging about an axis defined through the hub member. In particular, the brace is provided for an ankle.

Dynamic tension brace or support

The invention is a staple comprising a bridge member having a top surface and an opposing bottom surface defining a thickness between and two lateral edges defining a width therebetween and either the thickness or the width includes a center flared area, such as a 'diamond-like' shape meaning that it has a v-shape on opposing lateral edges flanked by opposing fillets to form an inserter mount area and the staple has a pair of legs spaced apart along the axis and each joined at a rounded flared shoulder to the bridge member. In a four-legged version the bridge has a waist.

Reinforced bridge superelastic bone compression staple and inserter system

The invention comprises a medical implant system with implant having a fastener hole for a fastener and further including a fusion screw, positioned to avoid interference with the implant fastener. The medical implant system also includes a guide that is mounted in the fastener hole and from an edge of the implant which provides for defined adjustability for angulation, and optionally depth, to allow for placement of the fusion screw so as to avoid impingement with the implant and the fasteners that secure it in place. The invention also relates to a method of surgery using the system.

Orthopedic plate

Orthopedic split plate

The present disclosure relates to improved plate and screw systems for use in fusion and other surgical procedures, which improve the ability to effectively affix adjacent bodies without gapping or experiencing loss of compression over time. The systems include plates having armatures configured to receive bushings, the bushings configured to pivot and rotate and thereby permit a greater degree of orientation of corresponding screws placed through the bushings. In embodiments, the bushings comprise anti-rotation elements which lock the bushings in a desired orientation. Methods for use of the components described herein are also disclosed.
