Patent abstract
An apparatus for fixating bone includes an orthopedic implant. The orthopedic implant may be manufactured from a shape memory material such that the orthopedic implant is moveable between a natural shape and an insertion shape. The orthopedic implant defines at least a first cannulation therethrough adapted to deliver a bone augmentation material to the bone. The orthopedic implant implants into the bone in its insertion shape. After implantation of the orthopedic implant, the first cannulation facilitates delivery into the bone of a bone augmentation material that augments the bone. The orthopedic implant once implanted attempts to transition from its insertion shape to its natural shape such that the orthopedic implant fixates the bone.
