A bone graft containment device includes a body formed via one or more helical structures extending about a longitudinal axis of the body from a first end to a second end to define a channel extending longitudinally therethrough. The channel is configured to receive a bone graft or bone graft substitute material therein, the one or more helical structures formed of a material permitting the body to be one of expanded, compressed and curved to fill a target space of a target bone.

The disclosure provides example methods, systems and apparatus for stabilization of a rib. An example method includes: (a) accessing a medullary canal of a rib having a fracture, (b) advancing a guidewire into the medullary canal across the fracture, (c) advancing a delivery catheter containing a stent over the guidewire into the medullary canal and across the fracture, (d) retracting the delivery catheter relative to the stent, and (e) expanding the stent in the medullary canal.

A device is disclosed that includes a bone stent positioned within a bony access channel formed within a vertebra. The bony access channel may extends from an outer end of the vertebra through an endplate. The device includes an end cap attached to a proximal end portion of the bone stent and is configured to, post-operatively, open to allow a reintroduction of a material to a spinal intradiscal space or intervertebral disc and to seal access to the spinal intradiscal space or the intervertebral disc after the reintroduction of the material.

An intercalary prosthesis for spanning portions of a long bone includes a first intramedullary component that has a first stem and a first connector disposed at one end of the first stem. The first stem is configured to be received within an intramedullary canal of a long bone. A second intramedullary component has a second stem and a second connector disposed at one end of the second stem. The second stem is configured to be received within an intramedullary canal of the long bone. The prosthesis also includes a connector component. The connector component has a body that includes opposing ends each with a connector configured to respectively connect to the connectors of the first and second intramedullary components. The body also has an outer shell and an inner lattice structure disposed within and connected to the outer shell.

A method of manufacturing a bioscaffold implant for a specific patient is provided. The method can comprise obtaining an image of a tissue section of the specific patient from imaging scans of the tissue section, wherein the tissue section includes a resected portion. The method can further comprise determining on the image of the tissue section a surface topography of the resected portion, determining an image of a bioscaffold implant that matches the surface topography of the resected portion, and manufacturing a bioscaffold implant with a surface portion that mirrors the surface topography of the resected portion.

Surgical constructs, assemblies and methods of tissue fixation are disclosed. An anterior glenoid guide is a cuboid block configured to be introduced via the rotator interval to lie on the anterior glenoid. The guide has an internal thread for a handle and two flanges which lie on the anterior glenoid. On the anterior face (opposite the neck of the glenoid), the guide is provided with two holes which are sized to receive a drill guide. The holes mate with slots such that the block can be removed after sutures and fixation devices are installed. The anterior glenoid guide can be an arthroscopic anterior glenoid graft guide.

The disclosure relates to a system comprising a foam structure and a surgical fixation device for attaching the foam structure to bone, the foam structure comprising: a porous body made of at least one biocompatible implant material, wherein the porous body is coated with a coating, which is capable of stimulating bone ingrowth.

A filament or printing material placed in a syringe for 3D printing comprising polymers, proteins, and/or functional particles and materials is provided. Methods of treating a bone defect in a subject in need thereof comprising using a handheld 3D printer to apply a filament or the printing material placed in a syringe to the bone defect of the subject are also provided. Methods of fixing or gluing natural or synthetic bone grafts using a handheld 3D printer to apply a filament or the printing material placed in a syringe over and around the defect or at the interface of a flap and the bone. Methods of printing a graft cage for retaining bone grafts and/or bone graft substitiute in its desired location during healing for treatment of critical-sized segmental defects in long bones are provided.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to instrumentation that facilitate coracoid-glenoid fixation in Latarjet procedures. For example, a single instrument, a coracoid resection tool, may be provided/utilized to prepare a coracoid bone graft for size, flatness, and hole drilling. A glenoid drill guide may further be provided/utilized that uses sized offsets for placement of the coracoid graft flush with the glenoid. Further embodiments of the disclosure are directed to corresponding methods that employ this instrumentation. For example, a surgeon may employs the coracoid resection tool as a guide to plane the inferior coracoid surface that will serve as the coracoid graft surface. The coracoid resection tool may further guide the placement of coracoid holes along the length of the coracoid and orient the holes approximately perpendicular to the planed coracoid graft surface. For example a proximal coracoid hole may be positioned towards the proximal end (i.e., the cut end) of the resected coracoid while a distal coracoid hole may be positioned towards the distal end (i.e., the tip) of the resected coracoid.
