Intramedullary Rod For Fracture Fixation Of Femoral Shaft Independent Of Ipsilateral Femoral Neck Fracture Fixation

View page
US Patent:
55626670, Oct 8, 1996
Filed:
Apr 25, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/428059
Inventors:
Thomas E. Shuler - Pittsburgh PA
Robert A. Latour - Clemson SC
International Classification:
A61B 1772
US Classification:
606 64
Abstract:
A femoral intramedullary rod has a thin or reduced proximal segment so as to provide room for the use of femoral hip screws. Use of the rod for femoral shaft fixation permits subsequent independent treatment of an ipsilateral femoral hip fracture as an isolated injury, regardless of whether initially detected. Different rod embodiments are formed by the omission of different proximal portions of the rod. It is in such portions that the femoral screws may be placed to set hip fractures. The rod is cannulated for installation over a guide wire. Internal rod threads, below the thin proximal segment in some embodiments, are used for initial installation of the rod with a driving member screwed into such threads. Without driving forces on the thin proximal segment, such segment can be made even thinner. Once the rod is seated, hip screws may be installed if there is a detected hip fracture.
