Abstract

An embodiment of a bone stabilization and distraction system (100) of the present disclosure includes a light-sensitive liquid (165); a light source (110) for providing light energy; a light-conducting fiber (140) for delivering the light energy from the light source (110) to cure the light-sensitive liquid (165); a delivery catheter (150) having a proximal end in communication with the light-conducting fiber (140) and the light-sensitive liquid (165), an inner lumen (154) for passage of the light-conducting fiber (140), and an inner void (140) for passage of the light-sensitive liquid (165); and an expandable body (170) removably engaging a distal end of the delivery catheter (150), wherein the expandable body (170) has an insertion depth with a fixed dimension, a width with a fixed dimension, and a thickness with a changeable dimension.
