Provided is a structure of a porous spinal implant including a cage body inserted between adjacent vertebral bodies and divided by an upper surface, a lower surface, a left surface, a right surface, a front surface, and a rear surface, a plurality of vertical pores formed on the upper surface and the lower surface of the cage body, and a plurality of horizontal structures stacked on the left surface and the right surface of the cage body, wherein the plurality of vertical pores and the plurality of horizontal structures are each formed in a pattern that repeats in up-down, left-right, and front-rear directions. The structure of a porous spinal implant is capable of reducing strength of a cage body close to that of a vertebral body.

Partial joint resurfacing implant, instrumentation, and method

An implant for repairing an articular cartilage defect site including an implant fixation portion with an upper segment and at least one bone interfacing segment and a top articulating portion with an articulating surface and an engagement surface. The upper segment includes a supporting plate with a first locking mechanism segment. The engagement surface includes a second locking mechanism segment. The first locking mechanism segment with at least two channels is structured to couple to the second locking mechanism segment with at least two protrusions. The at least one bone interfacing segment structured for insertion into the articular cartilage defect site. An implant including an implant fixation portion, a top articulating portion, and a locking mechanism with a first locking segment coupled to the upper segment and a second locking segment coupled to the at least one engagement surface and structured to couple to the first locking segment.

Expandable fusion device and method of installation thereof

The present invention provides an expandable fusion device capable of being installed inside an intervertebral disc space to maintain normal disc spacing and restore spinal stability, thereby facilitating an intervertebral fusion. In one embodiment, the fusion device includes a body portion, a first endplate, and a second endplate, the first and second endplates capable of being moved in a direction away from the body portion into an expanded configuration or capable of being moved towards the body portion into an unexpanded configuration. The fusion device is capable of being deployed and installed in both configurations.

Intervertebral implant

An intervertebral implant is disclosed. The implant can be made of Titanium or alloys thereof. A kit of intervertebral implants can be included having different lordotic profiles or having no lordotic profile. The intervertebral implants of the kit have endplates with thicknesses suitable to prevent the titanium endplates from being too stiff. The intervertebral implants can have apertures that extend through the endplates, but sufficient surface area at the outer surfaces of the endplates to avoid subsidence into the respective vertebral body.

Artificial ankle joint tibia component

The present disclosure relates to an artificial ankle joint tibial component and, more particularly, to an artificial ankle joint tibial component of an implant that is implanted into a body, the implant including: a body part having a contact surface in contact with a resected surface of a distal end of a tibia of a joint and a joint surface facing a joint; and a fixing part formed to extend a predetermined length upwards from the contact surface, wherein the fixing part is configured as a single body formed to extent a predetermined length upwards from the center in the front area of the contact surface and includes a wing extending to one side, and wherein the wing includes at least one posterior wing that extends at a predetermined angle relative to an AP line, thereby preventing stress from being concentrated on one wing to avoid a fracture thereof and increasing the contact area between a bone and an implant to strengthen fixing force, prevent rotation, and disperse stress, so that bone resorption around the wing can be prevented.

Metal-ceramic composite joint prosthesis and applications and manufacturing method thereof
11690724 · 2023-07-04 · ·

The present invention discloses a metal-ceramic composite joint prosthesis and applications and a manufacturing method thereof. The joint prosthesis comprises a metal body and a ceramic body, wherein the metal body is integrally formed and comprises a porous structure layer, a boundary layer and a root-like layer, the boundary layer is located between the porous structure layer and the root-like layer, the root-like layer comprises a plurality of root-like filament clusters connected to the boundary layer but not in contact with one another, each root-like filament cluster comprises a main root perpendicularly connected to the boundary layer and a plurality of fibrous roots connected to the lateral side of the main root, the fibrous roots extend obliquely towards the side away from the boundary layer, and the ceramic body covers the root-like filament clusters and is formed on the boundary layer. The joint prosthesis achieves the compositing of metal and ceramic, thereby achieving both a wear-resistant ceramic body required for a joint friction surface and a porous metal structure with a good bone ingrowth effect required for an osseointegration surface. The root-like filament clusters of the root-like layer are rooted in the ceramic body, to form a tight and stable connection between the ceramic body and the metal body, and the root-like clusters being not in contact with one another prevents the ceramic body from locally breaking or cracking.

Surgical component, kit and method

A surgical component, a kit including the surgical component, and a surgical method. The surgical component includes a body portion. The surgical component also includes an elongate stem for inserting into an intramedullary canal of a patient. The elongate stem extends distally from the body portion. The elongate stem has a longitudinal axis; a proximal end; a distal end; and a plurality of splines located on an outer surface of the stem. The splines are circumferentially arranged around the stem. At least some of the splines are tapered such that each tapered spline is narrower at a distal part of that spline than at a part of that spline that is proximal with respect to the distal part. The surgical component further includes an elongate neck portion extending from the body portion at a non-zero angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the stem.
