Patent ID: 8226659

Claim:
A system for repairing a fractured bone comprising: a delivery catheter having an elongated shaft with a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis therebetween, wherein the delivery catheter has an inner void for passage of one or more bone cement components and an inner lumen; an internal bone fixation device releasably engaging the distal end of the delivery catheter, the internal bone fixation device moveable from a first compact state to a second expanded state; a rotatable shaft, wherein the rotatable shaft is sized to pass through the inner lumen of the delivery catheter; and a spinning mechanism, at a distal end of the rotatable shaft, and wherein the spinning mechanism is sized to pass through the inner lumen of the delivery catheter and into the internal bone fixation device, wherein, when the internal bone fixation device is positioned within a cavity of the fractured bone, and the one or more bone cement components are positioned in the internal bone fixation device, the one or more bone cement components are mixable to a desired viscosity by activating the spinning mechanism within the internal bone fixation device.
