Expanded stabilization of bones
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for expanded stabilization of the distal radius, comprising:
- a bone plate shaped to fit onto a portion of a radius bone to define a footprint of the bone plate on the radius bone, the bone plate including a distal end, a row of openings adjacent the distal end for receiving fasteners that secure the bone plate to the radius bone, and an aperture proximal to the row of openings; and
a plate member configured to be attached to the bone plate such that the plate member overlaps the bone plate, extending proximally at least to the aperture and extending distally to a position outside the footprint for stabilization of a distal fragment of the radius bone.

9. A system for expanded stabilization of the distal radius, comprising:
-
a bone plate shaped to fit onto a volar surface of a distal portion of a radius bone and including a distal end and a plurality of openings for receiving fasteners that secure the bone plate to the radius bone; and
a plate member configured to be attached to the bone plate such that a major portion of the plate member overlaps the bone plate and a minor portion extends distally beyond a region of the distal end of the bone plate and at least substantially external to the radius bone for engagement with a distal fragment of the radius bone. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system for expanded stabilization of the distal radius, comprising:
-
a bone plate shaped to fit onto a distal surface region of a radius bone, the bone plate defining a perimeter and a plurality of openings configured to receive fasteners that secure the bone plate to the radius bone; and
a plate member configured to be coupled slidably to the bone plate such that an adjustable portion of the plate member is disposed outside the perimeter. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
