International Classification:

A61F 2/28
A61F 2/44
A61B 17/064

Abstract:

A continuous compression fixation device for coupling a first bony structure to a second bony structure, including: a body structure; and a plurality of arm structures extending from the body structure, wherein at least one of the plurality of arm structures is configured to be coupled to the first bony structure and at least one opposed one of the plurality of arm structures is configured to be coupled to the second bony structure; wherein the body structure and the plurality of arm structures are manufactured from a shape memory material; and wherein tips of the at least one of the plurality of arm structures and the at least one opposed one of the plurality of arm structures are biased towards one another such that a desired compressive force is applied to an intercalary structural augment disposed between the first bony structure and the second bony structure.
