CA 2641580

The present invention provides a method for stabilizing a fractured bone. The method includes positioning an elongate rod in the medullary canal of the fractured bone and forming a passageway through the cortex of the bone. The passageway extends from the exterior surface of the bone to the medullary canal of the bone. The method also includes creating a bonding region on the elongate rod. The bonding region is generally aligned with the passageway of the cortex. Furthermore, the method includes positioning a fastener in the passageway of the cortex and on the bonding region of the elongate rod and thermally bonding the fastener to the bonding region of the elongate rod while the fastener is positioned in the passageway of the cortex.

L'invention concerne un procédé pour stabiliser un os fracturé. e procédé selon l'invention consiste à positionner une tige allongée dans le canal médulaire de l'os fracturé et à former un passage dans le cortex de l'os. Ce passage s'étend de la surface extérieure de l'os au canal médullaire de l'os. Le procédé selon l'invention consiste également à créer une zone de liaison sur la tige allongée. Cette zone de liaison est sensiblement alignée avec le passage du cortex. Ledit procédé consiste en outre à positionner un élément de fixation dans le passage du cortex et sur la zone de liaison de la tige allongée, et à lier thermiquement l'élément de fixation avec la zone de liaison de la tige allongée pendant que l'élément de fixation est positionné dans le passage du cortex.
