==Deformable Threaded Locking Structures, And Related Systems And Methods - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18437284 titled 'Deformable Threaded Locking Structures, And Related Systems And Methods

The bone plate described in the patent application includes a plate body with an outer surface and a bone-facing surface, as well as a combination hole that includes a locking hole and a compression hole intersecting each other.

* The locking hole and compression hole extend along a longitudinal axis away from each other.
* The plate body has a locking surface defining the locking hole and a second surface defining the compression hole.
* The locking surface features columns, recesses between columns, and plate threads traversing each column.
* Crests of the plate threads extend linearly from one side of each column to the other.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

A bone plate includes a plate body defining an outer surface, an opposed bone-facing surface, and a combination hole comprising a locking hole and a compression hole that intersect one another and each extending from the outer surface to the bone-facing surface. The locking hole and the compression hole extend away from each other along a longitudinal axis. The plate body further defines a locking surface that defines the locking hole, and a second surface that defines the compression hole. The locking surface further defines a plurality of columns sequentially located about a central axis of the locking hole, a plurality of recesses located, respectively, between at least some of the columns, and plate threads that traverse each of the columns. Crests of the plate threads extend linearly from a first side of each column to a second side of each column.
