Contoured Bone Plate For Fracture Fixation Having Hook Members And Drill Guide For Same
US Patent:
8177822, May 15, 2012
Filed:
May 5, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/114916
Inventors:
Robert J. Medoff - Kailua HI, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/80
US Classification:
606297, 606 96, 606 86 B
Abstract:
A bone fixation plate for fixation of fractures having a small terminal bone fragment, such as fractures of the lateral malleolus. The bone fixation plate includes an elongated body, and two hook members extending from a first end of the elongated body. Each hook member curves back upon a bottom surface of the elongated body, back towards a second end of the elongated body, and terminating in a pointed prong region. The elongated body includes a first region, a second region, and an angled region disposed between the first and second region. The prong region has a longitudinal axis that is substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the angled region of the elongated body of the bone plate. A double barreled drill guide and associated interchangeable cooperating inner drill guides and gauges are provided to facilitate the drilling of pilot holes in a terminal bone fragment for axial insertion of the pointed prong regions of the hook members.

Abstract:
An implant for fracture fixation in which a wire element has one end installed in bone and an opposite end fixed externally to the bone to apply compression across the fracture wherein a guide system is provided for guiding a tip of the one end of the wire element into a pilot hole in the bone prior to producing compression across the fracture.
Method Of Using An Intramedullary Implant For Fracture Fixation
US Patent:
8216238, Jul 10, 2012
Filed:
Mar 14, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/048794
Inventors:
Robert J. Medoff - Kailua HI, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/56
US Classification:
606 64, 606281, 606 86 R, 606 99
Abstract:
An intramedullary implant, useful particularly for the fixation of fractures of the radius, the implant comprising a first and second end, both ends configured for entry into the intramedullary canal through an entry point on the bone, such as the fracture site, and configured for positioning within the intramedullary canal of the fractured bone, the first end positioned in the intramedullary space of a first bone fragment and the second end positioned in the intramedullary space of a second bone fragment on the opposite side of the fracture. The first end is positioned by displacing the implant in a first direction and the second end is positioned by displacing the implant in a second direction, substantially opposite to the first direction. The implant further comprises a tip configured to abut an end surface of the second fragment to provide axial support to second fragment.

Surgical Clamp For Fixation Of Bone Fragments
US Patent:
5709682, Jan 20, 1998
Filed:
Jan 24, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/590899
Inventors:
Robert J. Medoff - Kailua HI
International Classification:
A61B 1758
US Classification:
606 60
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an implantable clamp for fixation of one or more bone fragments (82, 85) to a stable bone (81). The clamp has two basic functions, namely a buttress function and a clamp function. Either function or both may be employed depending on the fracture picture. The clamp has a first part (71) having a front part bent into a buttress (79) and/or into a lower part (77) of a clamp. Further, the clamp may comprise a second part (72) constituting the upper part (73) of the clamp. A screw (74) is used to secure the clamp to the stable bone (81). The buttress (79) of the clamp is utilized to press an intra-articular fragment (85) against an adjacent joint surface. The clamp (73, 77) is utilized to capture and secure a bone fragment (82).
Locking Pin Plate Assembly Adapted For Fracture Fixation
US Patent:
2011002, Feb 3, 2011
Filed:
Jul 31, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/533675
Inventors:
Robert J. Medoff - Kailua HI, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/86, A61B 17/80
US Classification:
606329, 606297
Abstract:
A lockable pin plate assembly which has a pin plate adapted to be secured to stable bone and provided with pin holes for pins for pinning an unstable bone fragment. One or more pin holes are engageable by pins of an integral U-pin. The pins have stop surfaces thereon which are resiliently displaced when the pins are seated to automatically and self-lock the pin and the pin plate to oppose withdrawal and backing out of the pins from the pin plate.
Graft Constraint Device

Locking Pin Plate Assembly Adapted For Fracture Fixation
US Patent:
2013023, Sep 12, 2013
Filed:
Sep 5, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/603587
Inventors:
Robert J. Medoff - Kailua HI, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/80, A61B 17/84
US Classification:
606297, 606329
Abstract:
A lockable pin plate assembly which has a pin plate adapted to be secured to stable bone and provided with pin holes for pins for pinning an unstable bone fragment.
