TRACTION PIN ASSEMBLIES, COMPONENTS, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240008907 titled 'TRACTION PIN ASSEMBLIES, COMPONENTS, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an example embodiment of a traction pin assembly used for stabilizing bone tissue. The assembly includes a traction pin with a shaft and a tip, which can be inserted into the bone tissue. The pin can be rotated by a driver, which is coupled to the end of the pin. An adapter is also included to axially retain the pin relative to the driver. A guide is provided to define a passage for the shaft of the pin and to provide a surface for gripping. The surface of the guide has a larger area than the portion of the shaft extending through it.

  • The patent application describes a traction pin assembly for stabilizing bone tissue.
  • The assembly includes a traction pin with a shaft and a tip, which can be inserted into the bone tissue.
  • The pin can be rotated by a driver, which is coupled to the end of the pin.
  • An adapter is included to axially retain the pin relative to the driver.
  • A guide is provided to define a passage for the shaft of the pin and to provide a surface for gripping.
  • The surface of the guide has a larger area than the portion of the shaft extending through it.

Potential Applications:

  • Orthopedic surgeries requiring bone stabilization.
  • Treatment of fractures or bone deformities.
  • Use in spinal surgeries for fusion or stabilization.

Problems Solved:

  • Provides a stable and secure method for stabilizing bone tissue.
  • Allows for precise control and manipulation of the traction pin.
  • Reduces the risk of pin dislodgement or migration during surgery.

Benefits:

  • Improved surgical outcomes due to enhanced stability and control.
  • Reduced risk of complications or post-operative issues.
  • Increased efficiency and accuracy in bone stabilization procedures.


Original Abstract Submitted

example embodiments provide traction pin assemblies, components, systems, and methods. an example traction pin in assembly comprises a pin insertable into bone tissue to stabilize the bone tissue. the traction pin comprises a shaft extending between an end of the traction pin and a tip of the traction pin. the end of the traction pin is couplable to a driver that is operable to rotate the pin. the assembly may also comprise an adapter that is couplable to the driver to axially retain the traction pin relative to the driver. the assembly may also comprise a guide that defines a passage through which a portion of the shaft of the traction pin extends and provides a surface for gripping the guide. the surface has a larger surface area than a surface of the portion of the shaft extending through the guide.
