Methods and devices for correcting wear pattern defects in joints. The methods and devices described herein allow for the restoration of correcting abnormal biomechanical loading conditions in a joint brought on by wear pattern defects, and also can, in embodiments, permit correction of proper kinematic movement.

An orthopedic trial implant having a plurality of bearing component augments of differing heights, where each augment releasably, slidably connected to the trial implant.

Implants, systems, instruments, methods, and kits for metatarsophalangeal joint arthroplasty may include metatarsal arthroplasty implants, repositioning guides, broach tools, inserter tools, and sterilizable packaging configured to facilitate metatarsal arthroplasty surgical procedures. The metatarsal arthroplasty implants may generally include an articular member having a convex articular surface, a concave bone-facing surface opposite the convex articular surface, and at least one side surface intermediate the convex articular surface and the concave bone-facing surface, as well as a central shaft sized for insertion into a metatarsal bone having a central shaft longitudinal axis, a central shaft proximal end coupled to the concave bone-facing surface of the articular member, and a central shaft distal end extending away from the concave bone-facing surface of the articular member along the central shaft longitudinal axis.

The invention relates to a glenoid (shoulder socket) implant prosthesis, a humeral implant prosthesis, devices for implanting glenoid and humeral implant prostheses, and less invasive methods of their use for the treatment of an injured or damaged shoulder.

The present invention relates to an implantable cervical cage having a flexible posterior plate allowing for posterior displacement or movement of the cage.

A glenoid implant for an inverted shoulder prosthesis includes a base, a glenosphere having a central orifice and mounted on the base by mutual wedging between conical bearing surfaces, a main anchoring screw crossing the base and including an anchor rod having a tapped end segment, and an inner hole having a threaded intermediate portion, and a tip portion. A locking screw crosses the central orifice and includes a proximal head and a locking rod having an end segment intended to slide in the tip portion of the inner hole and a tapped intermediate segment intended to cooperate by screwing with the intermediate portion of the inner hole to lock the mutual wedging of the conical bearing surfaces, the proximal head abutting on an annular bearing surface in the central orifice.

A total knee prosthesis includes a femoral component and a tibial component. The femoral component includes medial and lateral condyles defining an intercondylar notch therebetween. The femoral component further includes a spherical member and a cam member disposed within the intercondylar notch. The tibial component includes a post defining a recess thereon sized to fit the spherical member of the femoral component. At some positions of flexion of the knee prosthesis, the spherical member may rotate with respect to the post recess, allowing the femoral component to articulate with respect to the tibial component. At some positions of flexion of the knee prosthesis, the cam member may contact the post of the tibial member, causing a translation of the spherical member within the post recess and allowing articulation of the femoral component with respect to the tibial component.
