nail is selected, the fracture is reduced. The reduction of the fracture should be confirmed with fluoroscopy in both the anterior-posterior and medial-lateral views. Fluoroscopy can also be used to ascertain the placement of the surgical incision for the entry point of the nail. After the ...
An intramedullary nail, particular for use with a tibia, may have a proximal end part, a distal end part adapted to be introduced into a medullary space, and a central section. The
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, there are three proximal holes, appropriately positioned in the frontal plane of the nail, which receive locking screws. The advantage of this configuration is that the drilling for the insertion of the screw can be done in the medial to lateral direc...
Frequently, the soft tissue hampers rotating of the screw. The lateral pressure from the soft tissue may, upon initial rotation, entail insertion of the screw in a “wobbly” manner and widening of the hole near the entry site. However, the screw will increasingly stabilize with increasing dept...
In particular, the engagement elements of the upper part can be disposed near the lateral edges of the central protrusion, so that for the upper part as well, the spacing of the engagement elements can be selected to be relatively great; as a result, both the upper part and the lower par...
FIG. 9 illustrates a lateral view of a saw block with saw blade. The aiming device shown in FIG. 1 consists of a radiolucent central aiming block10, material e.g. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) with a high radiolucence, which is displaceably mounted at a forceps20(material e.g. instrument ...
Advantageously, drive spindles 19, 20 can be operated from outside the ends of the connecting element 1, and permit a monolateral or bilateral extension of connecting element 1 without any mutual interaction between drive spindles 19, 20. Thus, outer parts 16, 17 provided at opposite ends of...
FIG. 21BA is a lateral elevation view of the anchor-in-anchor fixation assembly illustrated in FIG. 21A inserted into the vertebral body in accordance with another embodiment. FIG. 21C is a posterior elevation view of the anchor-in-anchor fixation assembly illustrated in FIG. 21A inserted into...
A bone plate has an underside on the side of the bone, an upper side and a plurality of holes in the plate connecting the underside with the upper side, with a central hole axis. At
