Abstract

A proximal portion of an implant for repairing a multipart fracture of a proximal humerus includes an asymmetric body having a proximal end, a distal end, a medial side, a lateral side, an anterior edge, and a posterior edge a medial surface extending along at least a portion of the medial side and having a proximal end and a distal end; a protrusion forming the lateral side of the asymmetric body, offset in an anterior direction, and pointing toward a bicipital groove of the humerus when the proximal portion is implanted in the humerus, an anterior support surface configured to support a lesser tuberosity; a posterior support surface configured to support a greater tuberosity; an angled surface having a first side defined by the medial surface, a second side defined by the anterior support surface, and a third side defined by the posterior support surface; and an anchoring point.

Description

technical field [0001] The field of the invention relates to implants for repairing fractures of long bones. Background technique [0002] Open reconstruction of long bone fractures presents orthopedic surgeons and trauma physicians with multiple challenges that affect their ability to reliably treat traumatic injuries. Specifically, changes in patient anatomy, fracture pattern, patient quality of health, and patient comorbidities all affect the quality of fracture reconstruction and also affect the rate and probability of fracture healing over time. Because of these many variables, a variety of implant options have been envisioned for open reduction and internal fixation of long bone fractures, including: intramedullary nails, locking plates, wires, and screws (all in a variety of sizes and materials). kit is provided). Each implant type has its own characteristics and advantages associated with its use in different fracture patterns and in different bones, as well as the...
