Implant and Fastener Fixation Devices and Delivery Instrumentation

摘要

Described here are delivery or fastener device fixation implant devices, delivery instrumentation, and methods for using them. In particular, the description relates to implants having a having a strength sufficient to support, anchor, secure, maintain, or to otherwise repair an elongated delivery or fastener device anywhere such a device, such as, for example, a bone screw, may need further securing within a substrate it is inserted into, such as, for example, within human or animal tissue, such as bone tissue.
