MOBILE BEARING REVERSED HUMERAL IMPLANT
An apparatus including a humeral tray (120) configured to be mounted to a proximal end of a humeral stem (100), and an insert (130) positioned on an outer surface of the humeral tray configured to articulate with a glenosphere (110); wherein the insert is not attached to the humeral tray such that the insert can articulate and move relative to the humeral tray.
ANKLE PROSTHESES
A system includes a first implant component and a second implant component. The first implant component is configured to be secured to a bone and includes a plate and a coupler extending upward from the plate and defining a coupler axis. The second implant component is configured to be coupled to the first implant component. The second implant component includes an articulation surface and defines a cavity configured to receive the coupler of the first implant component. The second implant component is couplable to the first implant component at a plurality of rotational orientations about the coupler axis.
TIBIAL PROSTHESIS AND KNEE PROSTHESIS
A tibial prosthesis and a knee prosthesis are provided. The tibial prosthesis includes a tibial plateau, a first tibial insert and a second tibial insert. The tibial plateau has a proximal end face defining a mount surface arranged with respect to a first axis. The first tibial insert is disposed on the mount surface rotatably about the first axis. The first tibial insert has a first concave surface centered on the first axis. The first concave surface is distally recessed. The second tibial insert is disposed on the tibial plateau and has a second concave surface extending along an arc-shaped trajectory line that is parallel to the mount surface. The arc-shaped trajectory line is centered on the first axis, and the second concave surface is distally recessed. The first tibial insert and the second tibial insert are arranged independently of each other, and the first tibial insert is located medially to the second tibial insert.
CEMENT RETAINING IMPLANT STEM FOR PERMANENT FIXATION
The present invention relates to a stem for or of an implant having a longitudinal axis and at least one recess adapted for cemented implantation into the medullary cavity and/or a cavity created by surgery of a long bone, characterized in that the recess is interrupted by a barrier. Further the present invention relates to a method for preparing a stem of an implant according to any one of the preceding claims for implantation, comprising the step of placing cement into the recess (12) on both sides of the barrier.
Removable inclination guide for an implant insertion tool and associated surgical method
An inclination guide for use with an implant insertion tool during a surgical procedure includes a unitary body having a clip configured to be coupled to a mounting surface of the implant insertion tool, an elongated riser extending from the clip, and an elongated indicator extending from the elongated riser to a distal end. Such a design allows for an inexpensive and lightweight inclination guide that may be easily and quickly adjusted after assembly.
Expandable intervertebral fusion implant
An expandable intervertebral fusion implant, including an inferior component, including a first top surface, a first bottom surface, a first end including a first worm rotatably arranged therein, and a second end including a second worm rotatable arranged therein, a superior component, including a second top surface, a second bottom surface, a third end, and a fourth end, and a first expansion mechanism including a first screw, the first screw including a first bottom end connected to the inferior component and a first top end connected to the superior component, wherein as the first worm is rotated in a first circumferential direction, the first screw rotates in a second circumferential direction and the superior component is displaced relative to the inferior component.
Femoral neck preserving stem hip implant
The femoral neck preserving hip implant includes a polymer femoral head molded onto a femoral head base, which is attached to a femoral neck rod to be inserted into the femoral neck of a patient. A metal acetabular cup is inserted into an acetabulum anatomy of a pelvis. The femoral head interfaces with the acetabular cup as a smooth plastic-to-metal spherical-surface joint. A main body shaft to be inserted into a femoral shaft has a diagonal hole therethrough located at a center line of the femur's neck to receive the femoral neck rod at a specified angle. A secured lock mechanism in the main body shaft above the diagonal hole is screwed down to compressively engage the femoral neck rod. Both the diagonal hole and the end of the femoral neck rod may have a slight taper. The femoral neck rod also has a radially outward extending flange that forms a contact feature that sits upon the resection plane of the femoral neck to stabilize against axial force loading.
OFFSET ADAPTERS, TRIAL IMPLANT SYSTEMS, AND IMPLANT SYSTEMS ALLOWING FOR SELECTABLE ECCENTRICITY
The present disclosure is directed offset adapters, trial implant systems, shoulder implant systems, and methods for total shoulder replacement, wherein the eccentricity of a humeral head relative to a humeral anchor and resected proximal portion of a humerus is selectable by a surgeon. A humeral head implant system includes a humeral head, an adapter, and humeral anchor. An offset adapter is operable to connect the humeral head to a humeral anchor. The offset adapter includes a first tapered cylindrical portion having a first axis, a second tapered cylindrical portion having a second axis, and the first axis being eccentrically disposed relative to the second axis of the adapter. A trial humeral head system includes a trial humeral head, a pin guide, and a trial adapter.
TRIAL COMPONENT AND METHOD
A trial neck for hip surgery and a method of attaching a trial neck to a bone canal preparation instrument. The trial neck includes a body portion having a bore for receiving a proximal end of the bone canal preparation instrument. The trial neck also includes an elongate neck part comprising a pair of arms extending from the body portion. The trial neck further includes a clamping mechanism comprising a live spring formed by the body portion and said pair of arms of the elongate neck part and an actuator, for moving the clamping mechanism between a clamping configuration and a non-clamping configuration. In the clamping configuration, the pair of arms of the elongate neck part are pinched together to cause an inner wall of the bore to urge against the bone canal preparation instrument to retain the proximal end of the bone canal preparation instrument within the bore.
ORTHOPAEDIC IMPLANT SYSTEMS INCLUDING TRANSFER FEATURES AND METHODS FOR PLAN TRANSFER
This disclosure relates to planning systems, assemblies and methods. The planning systems, assemblies and methods disclosed herein may be utilized for planning and implementing orthopaedic procedures to restore functionality to a joint, and may include one or more transfer members for positioning implants relative to patient anatomy.
