==MULTIPOINT FIXATION IMPLANTS AND RELATED METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240016521 titled 'MULTIPOINT FIXATION IMPLANTS AND RELATED METHODS

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes bone anchor assemblies that offer improved fixation compared to traditional assemblies. The assembly includes a bracket or wing that extends down from the receiver member. The distal portion of the wing has a bone anchor opening through which auxiliary bone anchors can be placed to enhance the fixation of the primary bone anchor. The distal surface of the wing is obliquely angled relative to the proximal-distal axis of the spanning portion, facing either a caudal or cephalad direction. Additionally, the distal surface of the wing can be obliquely angled relative to the proximal-distal axis of the spanning portion, facing either a medial or lateral direction. The patent also discloses surgical methods using these bone anchor assemblies.

* Bone anchor assemblies with improved fixation compared to traditional assemblies
* Assembly includes a bracket or wing extending down from the receiver member
* Distal portion of the wing has a bone anchor opening for auxiliary bone anchors
* Wing's distal surface obliquely angled relative to the proximal-distal axis, facing caudal or cephalad direction
* Wing's distal surface obliquely angled relative to the proximal-distal axis, facing medial or lateral direction
* Surgical methods using these bone anchor assemblies are also disclosed

== Potential Applications ==
* Orthopedic surgeries requiring bone fixation
* Spinal fusion procedures
* Joint stabilization surgeries

== Problems Solved ==
* Provides improved fixation compared to traditional bone anchor assemblies
* Enhances the stability and strength of bone fixation
* Allows for the use of auxiliary bone anchors to augment primary fixation

== Benefits ==
* Increased success rates in bone fixation procedures
* Improved patient outcomes with enhanced stability and strength
* Greater flexibility in surgical techniques with the use of auxiliary bone anchors


==Original Abstract Submitted==

bone anchor assemblies are disclosed herein that can provide for improved fixation as compared with traditional bone anchor assemblies. an exemplary assembly can include a bracket or wing that extends down from the receiver member. the distal portion of the wing can define a bone anchor opening through which one or more auxiliary bone anchors can be disposed to augment the fixation of the assembly's primary bone anchor. a distal surface of the distal portion of the wing can be obliquely angled relative to a proximal-distal axis of the spanning portion to face one of a caudal direction or a cephalad direction. a distal surface of the distal portion of the wing can be obliquely angled relative to the proximal-distal axis of the spanning portion to face one of a medial direction or a lateral direction. surgical methods using the bone anchor assemblies described herein are also disclosed.
