A method of manufacturing a joint implant for a joint of a specific patient includes obtaining a three-dimensional image of a bone of the joint of the specific patient from medical imaging scans of the bone of the patient and determining on the three-dimensional image a resection plane for contacting a corresponding planar surface of the joint implant for the specific patient. The method includes determining a three-dimensional image of a porous structure of a bone layer along the resection plane from the medical imaging scans of the patient. The joint implant is manufactured with a layer of a patient-specific porous construct attached to the planar surface of the joint implant. The layer of the patient-specific porous construct substantially replicates the porous structure of the bone layer of the specific patient.

A disc replacement device including a first body member with a convex articulation surface and a second body member with a concave articulation surface is disclosed. When operably positioned, the convex articulation surface engages the concave articulation surface to provide for movement therebetween. The disc replacement device also includes a first opening in the first body member and a second opening in the second body member, wherein the openings are angled and extends from the front aspects of the body members through the external surfaces. The disc replacement device further includes at least two bone fasteners for insertion into the first and second openings to secure the disc replacement device to a first and second vertebra. An interbody motion device and fusion implant, as well as a surgical method for implantation are also disclosed.

Provided is a bio-coating, including a surface layer. The surface layer includes multiple first single bodies connected in an unordered manner, multiple first through holes formed between the multiple first single bodies and inside the multiple first single bodies. The surface layer arranged on the outermost side of the bio-coating includes the multiple first single bodies connected in an unordered manner, and the multiple first through holes are formed between the multiple first single bodies and inside the multiple first single bodies, i.e., the multiple first single bodies in the surface layer are connected in an unordered manner. Therefore, the multiple first through holes in the surface layer are able to be in an unordered state, facilitating the growing of corresponding bone tissue cells into the surface layer, and thus improving a bone ingrowth effect and long-term stability.

A component of an artificial joint according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, inter alia, a base plate and a post selectively removable from the base plate. Further, an outer surface of the post includes a layer of the bone ingrowth material along substantially the entire length of the post.

An artificial joint cup (2), in particular a hip joint cup, for implanting in a cavity in a bone. The joint cup (2) is, in particular, substantially in the form of a spherical dome cup, having a convex outer surface (3) and a concave inner surface (4). In addition, the joint cup (2) comprises an outer diameter (OD) and an inner diameter (ID). The ratio of the difference (D) between the outer diameter (OD) and the inner diameter (ID) in relation to the outer diameter (OD) is in a region between 0.5 and 0.07, preferably between 0.3 and 0.075, particularly preferably between 0.2 and 0.1. The joint cup (2) is manufactured from a ceramic material, and the convex outer surface (3) has a micro-structuring.

The invention relates to an acetabulum (1) for a hip prosthesis, comprising an inner cavity (2) and a rear outer surface (3) facing the bone. In order to be able to implant the acetabulum (1) without using cement, at least some areas of the outer surface (3) are porous and osseointegrative, and the acetabulum (1) is made exclusively of a ceramic material.

An orthopaedic implant includes an implant body comprising a biocompatible material and configured to be implanted at an anatomical location, the implant body defining a surface; and a porous material at least one of attached to and integral with the surface of the implant body, the porous material having a plurality of grooves formed therein.

This orthopedic implant includes a polymer substrate with an outer surface intended to be secured to a bone tissue. The outer surface is covered with metal particles including titanium. The particles include large primary particles and small secondary particles. The primary particles and the secondary particles are evenly distributed over the outer surface.

An extraction tool for removing an installed artificial disc from a spine is provided. The extraction tool is impacted between the artificial disc and the vertebrae and engages the artificial disc to allow a surgeon to remove the artificial disc from the spine.

The invention relates to a knee joint prosthesis comprising a femoral component (1) and a tibial component (2), each having a front face constituting the joint and a rear face (4) facing the bone, and a polyethylene (PE) liner (3). In order to allow the knee joint prosthesis to be implanted without metal and without cement, the femoral component (1) and the tibial component (2) consist of a full ceramic material and both components (1, 2) have integrated porous osseointegrative rear faces (4) facing the bone.
