Definitions
- Bone plates are commonly used to assist in the healing of broken and fractured bones, especially in situations where casts cannot be applied to the injured area (e.g., fractures occurring to facial areas such as the nose, jaw or eye sockets).
- a fractured or broken bone may first need to be reset into its proper position before the fracture site is held in place by a bone plate secured to the bone with a screw or other type of fastener.
- Some bone plates have a locking mechanism to lock the fastener to the bone plate: e.g., those described in U.S. Patent No. 5,601,553 to Trebling et al, U.S. Patent No. 6,206,881 to Frigg, et al., and U.S. Patent No. 6,974,461 to Wolter, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- the '553 and '881 patents describe a locking mechanism where threads on a screw head and threads on the plate match and are interlocked as the screw head is engaged.
- the '461 patent describes a method whereby a threaded screw head engages a non-threaded bone plate, such that the threads of the screw head tap a hole in the unthreaded plate.
- the present invention relates generally to a fixation device for fixing two bones together, where the fixation system has locking fixation.
- the present invention also relates to a fixation system whereby at least one fixation element (e.g., a bone screw, a nail, or other fastener) engages a fixation device.
- the present invention includes a fixation device comprising a first outer surface, a second outer surface, and an aperture defined at least in part by an aperture wall.
- the aperture extends from the first outer surface to the second outer surface.
- the tabs protrude from the aperture wall into the aperture, and each of the tabs is configured to form a locking securement with a fixation element disposed within the aperture.
- the fixation element engages the fixation device at an angle. In one embodiment, the fixation element is configured to reduce interference upon the fixation device. In one embodiment, the fixation element is configured to engage the tabs of a fixation device and lock into place.
- the fixation device includes an angular surface. In another embodiment, the fixation device includes an angular surface and a substantially flat surface. In one embodiment, the fixation device includes at least one angular tab cut to facilitate insertion of a fixation element. In one embodiment, the fixation device is configured to lock the fixation element into place.
- the present invention also relates to a fixation element having threading that includes a radiused profile.
- the threading for the fixation elements includes a superior angular thread profile.
- the treading for the fixation elements includes an inferior radiused thread profile.
- the threading for the fixation elements includes both a superior angular and an inferior radiused thread profile.
- the present invention also relates to an instrument useful in inducing compression, or lag, across a fracture plane.
- the instrument is configured to advance a fixation element into a fracture plane without the head of the fixation element coming into contact with the fixation device until a desired compression is achieved across the fracture site being repaired.
- the present invention also relates to a method for inducing compression including partially advancing a fully threaded or partially threaded locking fixation element into an aperture of a fixation device, placing the lag tool between the fixation element head and the fixation device, turning the fixation element until the desired amount of compression is achieved across a fracture site being repaired, removing the lag tool, and then locking the fixation element into the fixation device.

- the present invention relates to a locking fixation system for repairing bone fractures.
- the locking fixation system lockingly engages a fixation element (i.e., a "fastener") to a fixation device (e.g., a bone plate).
- a fixation element i.e., a "fastener”
- the fixation element head is configured to engage a fixation device at several different angles. Angular fixation improves stability of the fixation device over time and in the face of pressure and stresses on the particular bone or bones being fixed.
- the locking fixation system includes a fixation device and at least one fixation element, both of which are more fully described below. Any size fracture on any size bone may be fixed using the fixation system of the present invention.
- one advantage of the fixation system of the present invention is the capability for angular stability. In an embodiment of the invention, angular stability minimizes the risk of a mal-union or a non-union, particularly with respect to articular or sub-articular fractures.
- fixation device means a device that fixes two or more parts together to create a union of such parts.
- the fixation device is a bone plate.
- the bone plate is a regular shape.
- the bone plate is a shape selected from the group consisting of a Y-shape, a T-shape, an L-shape, a straight plate, or a curved plate.
- the bone plate is an irregularly shaped plate.
- the bone plate is any shape useful in fixing bone fragments.
- a fixation device 10 has at least one aperture 21 configured to accept a fixation element 1 to fasten fixation device 10 to a bone to be repaired.
- fixation device 10 includes one to ten apertures 21.
- fixation device 10 includes two to eight apertures 21.
- fixation device 10 includes five apertures 21.
- aperture 21 is circular, square, oval, rectangular, triangular, or other regular shape.
- aperture 21 is irregularly shaped.
- each aperture 21 is the same or a different shape.
- aperture 21 is defined by an aperture wall 23 that is formed by extension of aperture 21 through the entire thickness of fixation device 10, from the first outer surface 71 of fixation device 10 to the second outer surface 81 of fixation device 10.
- fixation device 10 includes at least one tab slot
- fixation device 10 of the present invention includes an angular tab slot 19 to facilitate insertion of a fixation element 1.
- fixation device 10 includes at least one tab 20.

- tab 20 are of sufficient size and distance apart such that there is discontinuous circumferential engagement of the fixation element head threads 5 and tabs 20.
- tab 20 is of sufficient width (i.e., thickness) to deflect enough to engage threads 5 and resist the pullout force of fixation element 1.
- the thickness and size of tab 20 will be larger than for smaller fixation devices because larger fixation elements 1 will require larger, stronger tabs in order to resist pullout force and in order to prevent fixation element 1 from driving through aperture 21 without locking into place with tabs 20. If tab 20 is too thick, fixation element 1 will not advance through aperture 21.
- the geometry of tabs 20 that is, spacing and shape of the tabs relative to one another) is optimized so that the insertion torque is similar for each kind of material (for example, stainless steel alloys or titanium).
- the ratio of the thickness of tab 20 to the pitch of threads 5 is from about 1:1 to about 1:4. In another embodiment, the ration is from about 1 : 1.5 to about 1:3. In another embodiment, the ratio is from about 1 :2 to about 1 :2.5. In another embodiment, the ratio is about 1:2 (see Figure 14). In another embodiment, the ratio of the spacing between tabs 20 to the pitch of threads 5 is about 1 :0.5 to about 1.5: 1. In another embodiment, the ratio is about 1 : 1. These ratios will vary depending on the material; for example, tabs manufactured from steel will be thinner and narrower compared with tabs manufactured from titanium for a given size fixation element head thread.
- fixation device 10 and fixation element 1 are manufactured from the same material. In another embodiment, they are manufactured from different material. In an embodiment of the invention, tabs 20 are manufactured of the same or different material than fixation device 10. In an embodiment of the invention, tabs 20 are manufactured from stainless steel or other alloys or titanium or titanium alloys, or any other biocompatible material.
- aperture 21 includes at least one tab 20 that engages threads 5 of a fixation element head 2 (e.g., a screw head).
- aperture 21 includes at least two tabs 20, and tabs 20 are configured to deflect when engaged by threads 5 generally at the pitch angle or radius of threads 5 of fixation element head 2 when fixation element 1 is perpendicular to the plate. In one embodiment, this deflection upon engagement effectively produces a threaded interface between threads 5 and fixation device 10.
- tabs 20 do not retract into their original position.
- tabs 20 retract into their original position.
- tabs 20 result in points of contact 9 between fixation device 10 and threads 5 thus minimizing the potential for gauling between the fixation device and fixation element.
- This is in contrast to U.S. Patent No. 6,974,461, claim 1 line 41, which describes a ridge, lip or edge.
- tabs 20 have a width sufficient to minimize the probability of gauling (cold welding) between threads 5 and the fixation device 10, for example, a bone plate. Gauling is the negative effect of the threads of a fixation element and the fixation device become welded together.
- tab 20 includes an angular surface 20(a) and/or 20(b) (i.e., a countersink).
- tab 20 includes a countersink 20(a) or 20(b) and a substantially flat surface 20(c) or 20(d) (i.e., a counterbore).
- angular surface 20(a) or 20(b) of tab 20 aids the engagement of threads 5 on the fixation element head 2 to the tab 20.
- angular surface 20(a) or 20(b) of tab 20 reduces the required insertion torque.
- tab 20 includes a superior angular surface 20(b) and a substantially flat inferior surface 20(d). In an embodiment, and with reference to Figure 11, tab 20 includes a substantially flat superior surface 20(c) and an inferior angular surface 20(a). In an embodiment, and with reference to Figure 12, tab 20 includes a superior angular surface 20(a) and an inferior angular surface 20(b).
- fixation element 1 is used with the fixation device.
- the fixation element 1 is selected from the group consisting of a screw, a nail, a peg, a bolt, or another fastener.
- fixation element 1 is a bone screw.
- fixation element 1 includes threads 5 on the head 2 of fastener 1, and threads 7 on the body of fixation element 1.
- fixation element head 2 is unthreaded.

- Figures 3a, 3b, and 4a illustrate the interface between tabs 20 and threads 5.
- fixation element 1 is inserted into aperture 21 at an angle of up to 20 degrees relative to the fixation device.
- fixation element 1 is inserted into aperture 21 at an angle of about 15 degrees relative to the fixation device.
- the present invention also relates to a fixation element 1, having a particular thread design to maximize the functionality, design, and usefulness of such a fixation element with a fixation device 10 according to the present invention.
- threads 5 are designed to deflect in any direction tabs 20 of fixation device 10 according to the present invention.
- the fixation element head thread profile minimizes the angle between threads 5 and contact points 9.
- threads 5 have an angular profile 3 of from about 30 to about 75 degrees, and are generally a "V" shape. In another embodiment, threads 5 have an angular profile 3 of from about 40 to about 70 degrees. In another embodiment, threads 5 have an angular profile 3 of from about 50 to about 60 degrees. In another embodiment, threads 5 have an angular profile 3 of about 60 degrees.
- the threads 5 have a radiused profile 4, and are in a general "U" shape.

- radiused profile 4 includes a superior angular surface 6 and an inferior radiused profile 8.
- threads 5 with a radiused profile 4 there is less interference between threads 5 with a radiused profile 4 and tabs 20 of the fixation device 10.
- threads 5 with a radiused profile 4 require less deflection of tabs 20.
- threads 5 having a radiused profile 4 decreases the insertion torque required for advancing fixation element 1 into fixation device 10 as described above.
- One advantage of the present invention over the prior art is that no threads are left in the fixation device 10 upon removal of a fixation element 1. In the prior art device and method, threads remain in the plate upon removal of a fixation element (see e.g., U.S. Patent No. 6,974,461, which is herein incorporated by reference). Use of deflecting tabs 20 to engage threads 5 is also an advantage over the prior art, which uses deforming plate material to engage fixation element threads 5. [0049] C. Fixation Lag Tool
