An intramedullary assembly for intraosseous bone fusion includes a lag screw member and a tapered screw member. The lag screw member includes a first elongated body, where the first elongated body includes a first threaded portion at a first end and a bulbous portion at a second end. The tapered screw member is coupled to the lag screw member, and the tapered screw member includes a second elongated body, where the second elongated body includes a second threaded portion at a third end, and an opening at a fourth end.

Intraosseous intramedullary fixation assembly and method of use

A method for applying compression to a joint includes providing an intramedullary fixation assembly having a proximal screw member positioned at a proximal end of the intramedullary fixation assembly and a lag screw member positioned at a distal end of the intramedullary fixation assembly. Medullary canals are drilled in a first and second bone and the medullary canals are reamed. The proximal screw member is inserted into the first bone and a drill is used create a dorsal hole in the first bone. The lag screw member is slideably coupled to the dorsal hole and to the proximal screw member and into the second medullary canal. A torque is applied to the lag screw member to apply compression to the joint.

Intramedullary fixation assembly and method of use

An intramedullary fixation assembly for bone fixation includes a first construct. The first construct includes a first tapered screw member fixated into a subchondral bone. The first tapered screw member is aligned along a first longitudinal axis and has a first head portion comprising a first aperture and a first shaft extending from the first head portion. Moreover, the first longitudinal axis of the first tapered screw member is aligned substantially parallel to an articular surface of a bone. The first construct also includes a first lag screw member aligned along a second longitudinal axis. The first lag screw member has a first bulbous portion and a second shaft extending from the first bulbous portion, wherein the first lag screw member is coupled to the first tapered screw member, and further wherein the second longitudinal axis of the first lag screw member is aligned generally along the length of the bone.

An intramedullary fixation assembly for bone fusion includes a first member positioned at a proximal end of the intramedullary fixation assembly, and a second member positioned at a distal end of the intramedullary fixation assembly. The first member is slideably coupled to the second member and provides for an interference fit with the second member. The intramedullary fixation assembly includes an optional cannulated threaded screw member having a plurality of threads on an external surface of the threaded screw member.

Fixation system, an intramedullary fixation assembly and method of use

An intramedullary fixation assembly for bone fusion includes a first member positioned at a proximal end of the intramedullary fixation assembly, where the first member includes a plurality of first and second retaining screws, and a second member positioned at a distal end of the intramedullary fixation assembly, where the second member includes a plurality of third and fourth retaining screws. The first member is slideably coupled to the second member and provides for an interference fit with the second member.

A fixation system, including an intramedullary fixation assembly and an instrument for coupling the intramedullary fixation assembly to bones. The intramedullary fixation assembly includes a proximal screw member positioned at a proximal end of the intramedullary fixation assembly, a distal member positioned at a distal end of the intramedullary fixation assembly, where the proximal screw member is slideably coupled to the distal member and makes a fixed angle with the distal member.

An intramedullary screw and fixation system for intraosseous bone fusion of the subtalar joint includes a lag screw member, a reamer for reaming an internal surface of each of the calcaneus and talus medullary canals, and targeting guide assembly for alignment with the subtalar joint. The lag screw member includes an elongated body, a first threaded portion at a first end and a bulbous portion at a second end. The targeting guide assembly receives a cutting blade in an elongated rod for reaming the articulating surfaces of the calcaneus and talus intramedullary canals, where the cutting blade is inserted through a percutaneous incision into the elongated rod.
