Abstract

A bone structural device including a plurality of bone structural segments, wherein adjacent bone structural segments are pivotally connected to one another about a pivot axis, and the bone structural segments are expandable in height, which is in a direction generally parallel to the pivot axis.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A bone structural device comprising:
 a plurality of bone structural segments, wherein adjacent bone structural segments are pivotally connected to one another about a pivot axis, and said bone structural segments are expandable in height, which is in a direction generally parallel to said pivot axis.   
     
     
         2 . The bone structural device according to  claim 1 , wherein at least some of said bone structural segments are expandable independently from one another. 
     
     
         3 . The bone structural device according to  claim 1 , wherein at least some of said bone structural segments are expandable to different heights. 
     
     
         4 . The bone structural device according to  claim 1 , wherein said bone structural segments are made of a resorbable, tissue-compatible material. 
     
     
         5 . The bone structural device according to  claim 1 , wherein at least some of said bone structural segments are pivotally interconnected by resilient links. 
     
     
         6 . The bone structural device according to  claim 1 , wherein said bone structural segments are linked to each other by one or more unidirectional hinges. 
     
     
         7 . The bone structural device according to  claim 1 , wherein said bone structural segments are linked to each other by one or more multidirectional hinges. 
     
     
         8 . The bone structural device according to  claim 1 , wherein said bone structural segments are lockable in place by a locking mechanism. 
     
     
         9 . The bone structural device according to  claim 1 , wherein said bone structural segments are movable after installation in a body. 
     
     
         10 . The bone structural device according to  claim 1 , wherein said bone structural segments form a closed ring-shaped structure. 
     
     
         11 . The bone structural device according to  claim 1 , wherein at least some of said bone structural segments are fillable with a material. 
     
     
         12 . The bone structural device according to  claim 1 , wherein at least some of said bone structural segments are linked by a plastically or elastically deformable component without hinges. 
     
     
         13 . The bone structural device according to  claim 1 , wherein said bone structural segments comprise a pair of parallel support plates, which are expandable by a jacking mechanism. 
     
     
         14 . The bone structural device according to  claim 1 , wherein said bone structural segments expandable by a telescoping mechanism. 
     
     
         15 . The bone structural device according to  claim 1 , wherein said bone structural segments expandable by a wedge mechanism. 
     
     
         16 . The bone structural device according to  claim 1 , wherein said bone structural segments expandable by a hydraulic or pneumatic mechanism. 
     
     
         17 . The bone structural device according to  claim 1 , wherein said bone structural segments are expandable additionally in another direction different than said height. 
     
     
         18 . The bone structural device according to  claim 1 , wherein said parallel support plates comprise an extension which is not parallel to said parallel plates.
