Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention relates to a bone plating system and method for fracture fixation of bone. The bone plating system includes a bone plate, at least one locking screw, and at least one non-locking screw. The bone plate has locking holes with threads and non-locking holes. The locking screws have a shaft with a thread for engaging bone and a head with a thread configured and dimensioned to mate with the thread of the locking holes. The non-locking screws have a thread for engaging bone and a non-threaded head. Both the locking and non-locking screws remain seated in their respective holes for substantially as long as the bone plate is implanted. The non-locking screws compress the bone plate against the bone and hold fracture reduction while the locking screws are secured to the plate at a fixed angular relationship. The mixed fixation achieved by this bone plating system and method is particularly useful for treatment of per-articular fractures.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A bone plating system configured to be implanted to stabilize a peri-articular fracture of a human long bone, the bone plating system comprising: (a) a bone plate, configured and dimensioned to be attached so as to be compressed against the long bone and to extend over the peri-articular fracture, the bone plate comprising: a lower surface and an upper surface opposite the lower surface; a shaft portion having a width, the lower surface of the bone plate at…
