Proximal Humeral Fracture Reduction And Fixation Device
US Patent:
2009028, Nov 12, 2009
Filed:
May 11, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/463656
Inventors:
Edwin E. Spencer - Knoxville TN, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/80
US Classification:
606280, 606286
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for reducing and fixing fractures, for example, a proximal humeral fracture. A jacking device releasably attached to a locking plate presses against an inferior aspect of the head to rotate the head into anatomic alignment. Suture material stitched into the soft tissue superior to the head pulls the superior end of the head and guides and steers the head. The suture material passes through suture holes in the superior end of the plate. The jacking device positions and holds the head in an anatomic neck/shaft angle, thereby allowing the head to be fixed to the locking plate. In one such embodiment, a swivel bushing in the plate receives the jacking device and allows the angle of the device to be adjusted as desired. To aid in the fluoroscopic visualization during surgery, a radiolucent retractor is used to avoid blocking the surgeon's view.
