US Patent 11432860 Bone fixation system

A system and method for osseous fixation is a surgical hardware device that allows bone fixation for purposes of fracture repair, arthrodesis, or other types of orthopedic applications. A partially threaded wire or pin is inserted into the bone and external compression and rotational stability are achieved with a locking cap. The locking cap may include serrations or other anti-rotation features which engage bone to provide rotational stability. Upon adequate bone healing, the external cap may be used to facilitate removal of the wire/pin from the bone.
