A Nitinol compression screw maintains prolonged compressive load across fracture sites using elastic energy storage.
Sliding slots in the reconstruction bar enable dynamic adjustment for respiratory changes, reducing pain from rigid implants.
Radial notches in the implantable part allow multi-directional screw insertion while conical geometry prevents unscrewing.
Dulled plate hole edges prevent burr formation during variable angle screw locking, maintaining structural stability.
Superelastic screws provide dynamic biasing force for controlled fracture compression, resolving rigidity constraints in orthopedic fixation.
A bone fixation plate with distinct apertures guides a temporary wire through a positioning pin, enabling accurate alignment before permanent screw insertion.
Rotatable extensions and translational inserts unload knee cartilage while maintaining physiological range of motion for osteoarthritis treatment.
Segmented head and shaft rotate independently to lock the plate while lagging the bone, resolving fixation stability versus anatomical reduction trade-offs.
A resilient flange portion on the thread ribbon expands radially to increase outer diameter under load.
A bone fusion plate stabilizes the first metatarsal head and shaft during osteotomy.
