  • the top surface 262 of the screw head 258 has a hexagonal depression to allow engagement of a suitable screw driver. Other known shapes for the depression and corresponding screwdriver may also be used.
  • the compression screw 250 and the split locking ring 252 are assembled together and inserted into the screw hole 226. The assembly of the compression screw 250 and the locking ring 252 is then screwed into the bone using a dedicated insertion instrument that holds and rotates the compression screw 250 and the locking ring 252 simultaneously.
  • both the compression screw 250 and the locking ring 252 can be rotated further to apply compression to the fracture site.
  • the compression screw 250 alone is turned. This makes the compression screw 250 rotate in relation to locking ring 252 which results in disengagement of saw blade geometry on the inner surface 256 of the locking ring 252 from the saw blade geometry on the outer peripheral surface 260. Since the saw blade geometries on both these surfaces are asymmetrical, the disengagement results in spreading of the locking ring 252.
  • the locking ring 252 is thereby clamped between the head of compression screw 250 and the bone plate 220. This results in fixing the compression screw 250 in place such that the compression screw 250 can not back out in axial direction.
  • a compression screw 270 of a different design is used with a locking ring 272.
  • Figures 20 and 21 show the bone plate 220, compression screw 270 and the locking ring 272 assembled together.
  • the locking ring 272 has a threaded circular outer surface 274 that fits in the screw hole 226.
  • the top wall 276 of the locking ring 272 projects towards the center of the screw hole 226 and has a hexagonal internal periphery.
  • the bottom surface 278 of the top wall 276 has ridges 280.
  • the compression screw 270 has a head 282 that has an outer peripheral surface 284 that slidably fits into the licking ring 272.
  • the top surface 286 of the head of the compression screw 270 has depressions 287 that correspond to the ridges 280.
  • the ridges 280 sit in the depressions 287.
  • the top surface 286 of the screw head 282 also has a hexagonal depression to allow engagement of a suitable screw driver. Other known shapes for the depression and corresponding screwdriver may also be used.
  • the external surface of the locking ring 272 may have threads (not seen in the figures) that engage threads in the screw hole 226.
  • the compression screw 270 and the locking ring 272 are assembled together and inserted into the screw hole 226.
  • the assembly of the compression screw 270 and the locking ring 272 is then screwed into the bone using a dedicated insertion instrument that holds and rotates the compression screw 270 and the locking ring 272 simultaneously.
  • the compression screw 270 can be rotated further to apply compression to the fracture site.
  • the ridges 280 loose contact with the depressions 287. This forms, for example, a small gap of approximately 0.1 -0.4 millimeter between the compression screw 270 and the locking ring 272.
  • the femural head fracture fragment presses the compression screw 270 back to the lateral side until the movement is stopped by the locking ring 272.
  • compression screw 270 is rotated in the opposite direction. This results in the engagement of the ridges 280 in the depressions 287. Next the compression screw 270 and the locking ring 272 may be removed simultaneously using the dedicated instrument.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour fracture de la hanche fournissant une dynamisation limitée à distance, une dynamisation à contrôle de charge et des combinaisons de ces deux procédés de dynamisation par variation des composants. La variation desdits composants peut se faire interopérativement. Une lame osseuse présente une pluralité d'ouvertures destinées à accueillir une vis à os de compression ou une vis corticale. Un capuchon terminal, pouvant être inséré par filetage dans l'ouverture, présente une couche de matériau polymère intercalée entre ledit capuchon terminal et le sommet de la tête, de telle sorte que la compression du matériau polymère permet un léger mouvement axial de la vis. En variante, l'invention prévoit un anneau de blocage adapté pour être fixé sur la tête de la vis, et présentant des crêtes dont la forme est complémentaire de celle des creux, lesdites crêtes s'adaptant dans lesdits creux lorsque l'anneau de blocage est fixé sur la tête.
