Abstract:
Embodiments of the present technology pertain to a system for hyper-localized immobilization of a bone structures. In various embodiments the system includes a power supply, the power supply being internal or external to a patient and allowing for variable control of electric current from the power supply. Embodiments further include a first micro-electromagnet being internal to the patient and being placed in a first bracket that is secured to a first side of the bone structure generating half of an electromagnetic attractive force that will immobilize the other bone structure when a second micro-electromagnet being internal to the patient is placed in a second bracket that is secured to a second side of the bone structure generating the electromagnetic attractive force that immobilizes the bone structure. This method could be applied to stabilize or fixate bone fracture sites when electromagnets leverage attractive forces.
