Staple Implant for Influencing the Growth in Bone Regions Bordering an Epiphyseal Plate

摘要

A staple implant is for influencing or guiding the growth in bone regions bordering the epiphyseal plate, said staple having a transverse web and anchoring limbs arranged on the ends of the transverse web, running parallel to one another and terminating in points. The anchoring limbs, once inserted into the bone, form fixation points on one side of said bone on either side of the epiphyseal, plate. The transverse web has at least one narrowed zone that can be plastically deformed under a flexural load, said zone having any position and form without abrupt transitions and being situated between the fixation points.

1. A staple implant for influencing the growth in bone regions bordering an epiphyseal plate, said staple implant comprising
a transverse web and anchoring limbs provided at the ends of the transverse web, oriented parallel to each other and terminating in points, wherein the anchoring limbs, after they have been inserted into the bone, form fixation points on one side of said bone, to both sides of the epiphyseal plate, wherein the transverse web comprises at least one tapered zone, which is plastically deformable under a flexural load and which is configured in any desired position and shape without abrupt transitions between the fixation points.
