System and Method for Fracture Replacement of Comminuted Bone Fractures or Portions Thereof Adjacent Bone Joints

摘要

The system and method serves in facilitating replacement of comminuted bone fractures or portions thereof adjacent bone joints. The system and method employs a prosthesis to replace at least a portion of the comminuted bone fractures. The prosthesis serves in reproducing the articular surface of the portion or portions of the comminuted bone fractures that are replaced. In doing so, the prosthesis serves in restoring joint viability and corresponding articulation thereof.

主权项

1. A system for replacement of at least a portion of a comminuted humeral head, the system comprising:
a prosthesis having an exterior portion having an exterior surface and an interior portion having at least one aperture formed therein, said exterior surface being sized and shaped to approximate the surface of the at least a portion of the comminuted humeral head, and said at least one aperture of said prosthesis configured to receive at least one fastener therein; a bone plate including at least one opening formed therein, said at least one opening of said bone plate being configured to receive said at least one fastener therethrough; and said least one fastener having a first end for insertion through said at least one opening and into said at least one aperture, said at least one fastener being configured to secure attachment of said prosthesis and said hone plate to one another across a portion of a humerus.
