Bone plate assembly with superelastic compression device and resilient teeth
A bone plate assembly has been granted a patent, comprising a compression device with resilient teeth capable of exerting a biasing force in an axial direction when deformed, and a bone plate with a countersunk region to seat the compression device. The compression device is designed to produce compressive forces upon decompression, with specific properties outlined in the claims. The assembly also includes a kit with a fastener to secure the components together effectively. The bone plate assembly offers innovative features for orthopedic applications, providing stability and support during surgical procedures.
Furthermore, the patent includes a method for utilizing the bone plate assembly, involving surgically exposing a bone segment, inserting the fastener through the components, and advancing it into the bone segment to engage with the compression device. The method ensures proper fixation and alignment of the bone plate assembly, enhancing the overall surgical outcome. Additionally, another method detailed in the patent involves using a fastener made of an osseointegrating material with a bone plate featuring resilient teeth to exert a biasing force. These methods showcase the versatility and adaptability of the bone plate assembly for various orthopedic procedures, highlighting its potential to improve patient outcomes and surgical techniques.
