ANATOMICALLY RELIEVED AUGMENTS

Anatomically shaped augments that are configured for implantation in a bone and which have one or more reliefs. A distal end of an outer portion of the augment can have a shape that is configured to generally conform to the shape of a metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction of an intramedullary canal of a bone. A proximal end of the outer portion can have a shape that is configured to generally conform to a shape of the metaphyseal region of the intramedullary canal. The reliefs can be configured to reduce a size of the augment and enhance the degree of freedom in the implant positioning and/or sizing of the augment. Further, such reliefs may contour the augment so as to prevent cortical bone contact and/or prevent contact with the implant device that may be associated with misalignment between an intramedullary canal and metaphyseal or diaphyseal regions of the bone.

ORBITAL FLOOR IMPLANT
20220202575 · 2022-06-30 ·

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to an orbital floor implant (10). One embodiment provides an implant with a first surface that is a fully porous, bone-side layer (16) and a second surface that is a non-porous, orbital content-side layer (18). The implant material itself may be polymeric material throughout, without the need for an embedded mesh or other support matrix. The implant is provided in a pre-shaped configuration and is of a material that allows it to be bent for shaping purposes. An extending tab (12) with eyelet portion/opening (14) can enhance securement options to a patient's bone.

Disclosed is a prosthetic augment designed to reconstruct a lateral tuberosity shape of a humerus in a subject having proximal bone loss that includes a humeral adapter tray configured to connect a humeral liner of a reverse shoulder prosthesis to a humeral stem of the reverse shoulder prosthesis and an augment member having a first face adapted for contacting the humeral stem of the reverse shoulder prosthesis and a second face adapted for contacting an underside of a muscle, wherein at least a portion of the second face includes a bulbous surface adapted to alter a wrapping angle of the muscle around the lateral tuberosity, and wherein the second face has a radius of curvature selected from one of a constant radius of curvature or a variable radius of curvature.

ROBOTIC SURGERY SYSTEM FOR AUGMENTED HIP ARTHROPLASTY PROCEDURES

A system for facilitating arthroplasty procedures includes a robotic device, a reaming tool configured to interface with the robotic device, and a processing circuit communicable with the robotic device. The processing circuit is configured to obtain a surgical plan comprising a first planned position of an implant cup and a second planned position of an implant augment relative to a bone of a patient, determine a planned bone modification configured to prepare the bone to receive the implant cup in the first planned position and the implant augment in the second planned position, generate one or more virtual objects based on the planned bone modification, control the robotic device to constrain the cutting tool with the one or more virtual objects while the cutting tool interfaces with the robotic device and is operated to modify the bone in accordance with the planned bone modification.

Tissue engineering scaffolds

A scaffold (12) for tissue engineering comprises an inner portion (14), an outer portion (16), and a base portion (22) connecting the inner portion and the outer portion. The inner portion (14) comprises a channel (18) surrounded by a first set of one or more walls. The outer portion (16) comprises a second set of one or more walls. The portions are arranged such that the second set of one or more walls substantially surrounds the first set of one or more walls with a spacing between the first and second sets of walls defining a cavity (20) between the inner portion (14) and the outer portion (16). The inner portion (14) and the outer portion (16) may have different shapes; and/or the scaffold (12) may further comprise a filler material in the cavity (20) defined between the inner and outer portions.

KNEE ARTHROPLASTY VALIDATION AND GAP BALANCING INSTRUMENTATION

To address technical problems facing knee arthroplasty resection validation, the present subject matter provides a tracked knee arthroplasty instrument for objective measurement of resection depth. By performing a precise comparison between the location of the tracked knee arthroplasty instrument and a reference location, the knee arthroplasty instrument measures and validates each tibial and femoral resection. To address technical problems facing validation of joint laxity following knee arthroplasty, the tracked knee arthroplasty instrument is shaped to validate the flexion gap and extension gap. When the tracked knee arthroplasty instrument is inserted between the resected tibial plateau and femoral head, the instrument shape validates whether the desired flexion gap and extension gap have been achieved.

Void filling joint prosthesis and associated instruments

A distal femoral joint replacement system includes a femoral component having condylar articular surfaces, a stem extending from the femoral component, and a void filler for filling a bone void within a femur. The void filler includes a body and a plurality of legs extending from the body. The body has a sidewall defining an opening for receipt of the stem which extends along a length of the body and extends through the sidewall so as to form a side-slot in the sidewall that extends along an entire length of the sidewall. The plurality of legs each have a first end connected to the body and a second end remote from the body. The legs each have an outer surface that tapers between the first and second ends and is configured to register with a corresponding inner surface of a bone void when implanted in an end of the femur.
