A device for facilitating the formation of new bone tissue includes a body that defines an upper portion and a lower portion, the lower portion having a substantially frustum-like shape, the upper portion having a substantially cylindrical shape. The lower portion is adapted to be inserted into the medullary canal of a bone.

A femoral assembly includes a femoral component that includes condylar portions and an anterior flange portion. The condylar portions and anterior flange portion together define an outer side of the femoral component for articulating with a tibial prosthesis and an inner bone facing side opposite the outer side. The inner bone facing side defines five intersecting component inner surfaces that each extend from a lateral side of the femoral component to a medial side thereof. A femoral augment includes condylar portions and an anterior flange portion. The condylar portions and anterior flange portion together define an outer side of the femoral augment comprised of five intersecting augment outer surfaces and an inner side comprising no more than three intersecting augment inner surfaces. The augment outer surfaces correspond to the component inner surfaces of the femoral component. The augment inner surfaces correspond to resected surfaces of a distal femur.

In various embodiments, an implant for interfacing with a bone structure includes a web structure including a space truss. The space truss includes two or more planar truss units having a plurality of struts joined at nodes and the web structure is configured to interface with human bone tissue. In some embodiments, a method is provided that includes accessing an intersomatic space and inserting an implant into the intersomatic space. The implant includes a web structure including a space truss. The space truss includes two or more planar truss units having a plurality of struts joined at nodes and the web structure is configured to interface with human bone tissue.

Bone implants, including methods of use and assembly. The bone implants, which are optionally composite implants, generally include a distal anchoring region and a growth region that is proximal to the distal anchoring region. The distal anchoring region can have one or more distal surface features that adapt the distal anchoring region for anchoring into iliac bone. The growth region can have one or more growth features that adapt the growth region to facilitate at least one of bony on-growth, in-growth, or through-growth. The implants may be positioned along a posterior sacral alar-iliac (“SAI”) trajectory. The implants may be coupled to one or more bone stabilizing constructs, such as rod elements thereof.

Intersomatic cage for vertebral stabilization, including a generally prismatic body having an outer rigid framework in the form of a truss within which at least one insert incorporating slow prolonged release substances selected from the classes of anti-inflammatory, anti-infection and bone regrowth promoter drugs is housed.

The invention relates to components for fusing vertebral bodies and to methods for the production and use thereof.

An implant having a porous layer and a molding method thereof includes: a substrate having a bone contact surface being in part in direct contact with a bone of a patient; a porous layer having a void inside; a connecting layer disposed between the bone contact surface and the porous layer to attach the bone contact surface to the porous layer; and a rib detachably coupled to the porous layer, wherein the connecting layer includes at least one constituent component identical to one of constituent components in the bone contact surface to be integrated into the porous layer and the bone contact surface, thereby firmly attaching the porous layer to the bone contact surface. Accordingly, bonding of dissimilar metals is facilitated by inducing the attachment of the bone contact surface of the implant to the porous layer having a void inside, formed by dissimilar metals, through the connecting layer including at least one constituent component identical to one of constituent components of the bone contact surface.

The variable or adjustable depth medical implants in this application are capable of depth adjustment prior to implantation. The variable depth implants permit a single implant to provide multiple footprint configurations, allowing a surgeon footprint adjustability in the operating room. The implants can comprise a metallic lattice designed for specific physical properties, such as an elastic modulus. In some examples, the main body of the implant is taller than the adjustable portion of the implant (also referred to as the second implant body) so that the physical properties of the main body of the implant are controlling at the implant site. In some embodiments, the variable implant is constructed in an additive process as a single unit.

Intervertebral disc prostheses and methods of use. An intervertebral disc prosthesis for installation in a spinal column may include a first intervertebral plate, a second intervertebral plate, and a removable insert core. The first intervertebral plate may engage one or both of the inferior vertebral endplate and the inferior ring apophysis of a superior vertebral body. The second intervertebral plate may engage one or both of the superior vertebral endplate and the superior ring apophysis of an inferior vertebral body. The removable insert core is located between and engages the intervertebral plates. A projection projects from one of the intervertebral plates toward the other intervertebral plate. The removable insert core at least partially surrounds the projection when installed. The removable insert core is removable from between the intervertebral plates and from around the projection while the intervertebral plates and projection remain installed.

A sacroiliac joint implant system includes a primary implant configured to be received in a sacroiliac joint of a patient and a secondary implant configured to couple with the primary implant. The primary implant includes a body extending from a proximal end to a distal end and a plurality of threads extending from the body. The secondary implant includes a first anchor configured to anchor within a sacrum of the patient and a second anchor configured to anchor within an ilium of the patient.
