Kit, plate, insert, and method for treating a clavicle
The invention relates to a kit comprising at least one insert ( 10, 20 ) and a plate ( 1 ) for treating a bone, specifically a clavicle (B). The plate ( 1 ) has a receptacle ( 6 ) for the insert ( 10, 20 ). The insert ( 10, 20 ) has an outer contour (C″) and/or the receptacle ( 6 ) has an inner contour (C), wherein the outer contour (C″) and the inner contour (C) fit each other such that the insert ( 10, 20 ) inserted into the receptacle ( 6 ) can pivot about an axis which runs substantially parallel to a plate top side ( 0 ).
1 . A kit comprising at least one insert and a plate for treatment of a bone, wherein the plate has a receptacle for the insert,
wherein the insert has an outer contour,
wherein the receptacle has an inner contour,
wherein the outer contour and the inner contour are adapted to each other in such a way that the insert inserted into the receptacle can be pivoted about an axis which is substantially parallel to a plate upper side,
wherein the insert inserted into the receptacle is displaceable in a longitudinal direction of the plate,
wherein the insert is adapted for being attached to a bone with a connection mechanism,
wherein the plate is adapted in size and shape to the bone,
wherein the kit further comprises a suture for fixing to a body part, and
wherein the insert is adapted for being attached to said suture.
2 . The kit according to claim 1 , wherein the outer contour of the insert and/or the inner contour of the receptacle is at least partially rounded.
3 . The kit according to claim 1 , wherein the insert comprises at least one strut for holding the suture.
4 . The kit according to claim 3 , wherein said at least one strut is sunk.
5 . The kit according to claim 1 , wherein the insert comprises a holder and is connected thereto via at least one predetermined breaking point.
6 . The kit according to claim 1 , wherein the plate has, on the plate upper side, at least one recess not penetrating the plate and adapted to temporarily receive a tool.
7 . The kit according to claim 6 , further comprising a tool, said tool comprising at least one tip, the size of which is adapted to be brought into operative engagement with the at least one recess of the plate.
8 . The kit according to claim 1 , wherein the plate has at least one screw hole for receiving a bone screw, wherein the plate has at least one overhanging tab at one end.
9 . The kit according to claim 8 , wherein the at least one overhanging tab is connected to the plate via at least one bendable bridge and wherein the at least one tab has a receiving opening for a bone screw.
10 . The kit according to claim 9 , wherein the plate has, in a region of at least one screw hole, a greater plate thickness than in the region of the at least one bendable bridge.
11 . The kit according to claim 9 , wherein the at least one overhanging tab is shaped such that an angle between a longitudinal axis of the receiving opening for a bone screw and a normal to a surface of the plate is at most 150°.
12 . The kit according to claim 1 , the plate having at least one screw hole for receiving a bone screw, wherein the plate further comprises a top side and a bottom side, the bottom side of the plate being adapted in its shape to be in contact with a bone, the plate having on its top side at least one recess which does not penetrate the plate and which is adapted for temporarily receiving a tool.
13 . The kit according to claim 12 , wherein the at least one recess is located, with respect to a longitudinal direction of the plate, between screw holes.
14 . The kit according to claim 12 , wherein the at least one recess is arranged on the top side in a transverse direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction substantially central to an outer boundary of the plate.
15 . The kit according to claim 12 , wherein the at least one recess has a longitudinal axis and is shaped substantially rotationally symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal axis.
16 . The kit according to claim 1 , wherein the plate has at least one screw hole, wherein the screw hole is separate from the receptacle for the insert.
17 . The kit according to claim 16 , wherein the plate has an elongated shape.
