In some implementations, the interbody implant may include an anterior side, a posterior side, a cephalad side, a caudal side, a right side, and a left side. In addition, the interbody implant may include a proximal end and a distal end. The interbody implant may include a mesh having a first set of pores having a first diameter based on a first relationship to a first locus and a second set of pores having a second diameter based on a second relationship to the first locus. Moreover, the interbody implant may include where at least one of the anterior side, posterior side, left side, right side, cephalad side, and caudal side may include the mesh.

Disclosed herein is a spinal implant with a solid frame and a porous inner layer. The implant may have a cavity defined by the porous inner layer. The solid frame may have one or more ribs extending from a medial wall to a lateral wall. The thickness of the porous layer may vary relative the thickness of the solid frame at various locations. An inserter to place a spinal implant and a method to perform same are also disclosed.

Intervertebral implant systems include spacers that may have solid and porous bodies integrally formed together as a single part. The bone-facing sides of the spacers include asymmetric lobes which may include solid and/or porous portions. Bone anchor holes may extend through the spacers and lobes, to receive bone anchors. A helically fluted bone anchor may be received in the bone anchor holes.

Porous biocompatible structures suitable for use as medical implants and methods for fabricating such structures are disclosed. The disclosed structures may be fabricated using rapid manufacturing techniques. The disclosed porous structures each have a plurality of struts and nodes where no more than two struts intersect one another to form a node. Further, the nodes can be straight, curved, and can include portions that are curved and/or straight. The struts and nodes can form cells that can be fused or sintered to at least one other cell to form a continuous reticulated structure for improved strength while providing the porosity needed for tissue and cell in-growth.

An orthopaedic prosthetic component is provided. The orthopaedic prosthetic component comprises a porous three-dimensional structure shaped to be implanted in a patient's body. The porous three-dimensional structure comprises a plurality of unit cells. At least one unit cell comprises a first geometric structure having a first geometry and comprising a plurality of first struts, and a second geometric structure having a second geometry and comprising a plurality of second struts connected to a number of the plurality of first struts to form the second geometric structure.

A bone implant for enclosing bone material is provided. The bone implant comprises a nonwoven mesh having an inner surface and an outer surface opposing the inner surface and configured to receive a bone material when the inner surface of the mesh is in an open configuration. A plurality of projections are disposed on or in at least a portion of the inner surface of the mesh, the outer surface of the mesh or both the inner and outer surfaces of the mesh, the plurality of projections extending from at least the portion of the inner surface, the outer surface of the mesh or both the inner and outer surfaces of the mesh and are configured to engage a section of the inner surface of the mesh or a section of the outer surface of the mesh or both in a closed configuration so as to enclose the bone material.

A method of forming an immunomodulatory implant operatively arranged to chemotactically facilitate bone morphogenesis, the method including forming a matrix of a first material, the matrix including an outer surface, and a plurality of pores, and applying an antigen to the matrix, wherein the antigen including at least one of a bacterial antigen or a viral antigen.

The present invention relates to an implant (1) for the correction of gleno-humeral instability, in particular for the correction of a glenoid defect (Dg) of the glenoid (G) of a patient, said implant (1) having a substantially flat portion (3), said substantially flat portion (3) being suitable, when said implant (1) is in use, for being placed at the site of the glenoid defect (Dg) in contact with the external bone portion of the glenoid (G) of a patient, said implant (1) being characterized in that at least said flat portion (3) is made of heterologous deproteinized bone material.

The present invention includes a method for generating a three-dimensional model of a bone. The method may further include generating a cut plan for excavating a portion of the bone according to the cut plan to allow the insertion of a custom implant. In a particular arrangement, the method may includes excavating the bone with an autonomous extremity excavator utilizing the cut plan generated by a processor. In a further arrangement, the method may include generating a digital model of a custom implant and generating, using the digital model, a physical model sharing the same dimensions as the digital module using manufacturing device.

A hybrid spinal implant for performing an intervertebral fusion procedure can include a pair of spacers separated by an expandable container that are formed of a porous titanium scaffold material. A connecting rod can span longitudinally between the pair of spacers. The spacers can be formed of titanium or PEEK, with endplates that are formed of the porous titanium scaffold material. The endplates can be bioactive. Exposed surfaces of the porous titanium scaffold material can be coated in a snag-preventing substance. The expandable container can be formed of a mesh material.
