Problems solved by technology

There is always a risk of infection following any surgical procedure in which the protective barrier of the skin is breached, however when permanent surgical implants such as intramedullary nails or bone plates remain in the body, the generation of contaminating bacteria necessary for infection volume is significantly reduced

Embodiment Construction

[0058] Certain terms are used in the following description for convenience only and are not limiting. The words "distal" and "proximal" refer to directions toward and away from the patient's body, respectively. The terms "front", "rear", "right", "left", "lower", and "upper" designate directions in the drawings and are hereby used by reference. The terms "anterior", "rear", "upper", "lower", and related words and / or phrases designate exemplary positions and orientations in the human body, by way of reference and not limitation. The terms include the words listed above, their derivatives, and words with similar meanings. Additionally, a three-dimensional coordinate system is used to describe the position and orientation of parts of the implant. The coordinate system includes a longitudinal direction L, a lateral direction A, and a transverse direction T, wherein each of the directions is perpendicular to the other two directions.

[0059] As used herein, the term "plurality"...

Abstract

This patent application discloses embodiments related to implants and methods of forming implants configured to treat fractured bone. The implant (10) can include a body (20) having a proximal end, a distal end, and an outer surface (28) extending from the proximal end to the distal end, wherein the body defines end extending to the central axis of the distal end; and a high tension strand (60) positioned adjacent to the body such that at least a portion of the strand is at least partially along the body The outer surface of extends in a direction substantially parallel to the central axis, and wherein the strands are loaded with an active agent.

Description

[0001] Cross references to related patent applications [0002] This patent application claims the benefit of US Provisional Patent Application 61 / 599,568, filed February 16, 2012, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] This disclosure generally relates to orthopedics. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods for treating fractured bone. Background technique [0004] Orthopedic implant-associated infection is a potentially serious complication of orthopedic trauma surgery, which often requires long-term systemic antibiotic therapy, reoperation, and hardware removal. There is always a risk of infection following any surgical procedure in which the protective barrier of the skin is breached, however when permanent surgical implants such as intramedullary nails or bone plates remain in the body, the generation of contaminating bacteria necessary for infection volume was significantly reduced. The de...
