A prosthetic implant shaped as a portion of a human skeletal structure and including a contact and delivery portion shaped as a porous structure, in particular as a trabecular type structure, suitable for receiving a medical substance and configured to be arranged in contact with a bone of a patient during an operating configuration of the prosthetic implant and a support portion, coupled to the contact and delivery portion, including a plurality of ducts each having at least one inlet section, made at an operative part of the prosthetic implant that can be accessed from the outside by the surgeon in the operating configuration, and at least one outlet section which opens into the contact and delivery portion. The contact and delivery portion is configured to deliver the medical substance evenly onto the bone when the medical substance is injected through at least one duct of said plurality of ducts during the operating configuration.

A method for manufacturing an implantable device is provided. The method includes laser nano-texturing a titanium surface. The method further includes applying an aqueous silver ion solution to form a silver ion complex on the nano-textured titanium surface. The method also includes reducing, using laser-assisted photocatalytic reduction, the silver ion complex to silver ion particles which are immobilized on the nano-textured titanium surface.

An orthopaedic prosthetic component includes a manufactured acetabular shell component having an outer wall and an additively manufactured augment coupled to the outer wall. The augment includes an outer surface that defines a customized patient-specific negative contour shaped to conform to a positive contour of a patient's bone. A method for manufacturing the prosthetic component is also disclosed.

The variable or adjustable depth medical implants disclosed herein are cable of depth adjustment prior to implantation. The variable depth implants permit a single implant to provide multiple footprint configurations, allowing a surgeon 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 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.

Disclosed herein is, in some embodiments, a multi-segment bone anchor configured to allow variable bone ingrowth or attachment between each segment. In some versions, a lower segment is configured to allow bone ingrowth and a detachable upper segment is configured to prevent bone ingrowth, making the bulk of the bone anchor removable.

A dynamic intervertebral spacer includes a ring which is split on an anterior portion. A posterior portion of the ring acts as a torsion spring. After implantation, the ring is able to act as a spring between superior and inferior vertebral bodies, thus allowing dynamic bone growth in fusion procedures.

An intervertebral implant for implantation in an intervertebral space between vertebrae. The implant includes a body extending from an upper surface to a lower surface. The body has a front end, a rear end and a pair of spaced apart first and second side walls extending between the front and rear walls such that an internal chamber is defined within the front and rear ends and the first and second walls. The body defines an outer perimeter and an inner perimeter extending about the internal chamber. At least one of the side walls is defined by an integral porous structure.

A spinal implant system includes at least one interbody implant having a first member including a tissue engaging surface and at least one mating element. A second member includes a tissue engaging surface and at least one mating element. An intermediate member includes at least one mating element. An intra-operative surgical tool is connectable with at least one of the members to engage adjacent mating elements and fix the intermediate member with at least one of the first member and the second member. Implants, surgical instruments and methods are disclosed.

A system and computer-implemented method for manufacturing an orthopedic implant involves segmenting features in an image of anatomy. Anatomic elements can be isolated. Spatial relationships between the isolated anatomic elements can be manipulated. Negative space between anatomic elements is mapped before and/or after manipulating the spatial relationships. At least a portion of the negative space can be filled with a virtual implant. The virtual implant can be used to design and manufacture a physical implant.

An orthopedic implant having a titanium or titanium alloy body with a plurality of surfaces. The orthopedic implant is produced according to a process comprising the steps of: (a) additively building the orthopedic implant; and then (b) mechanically, chemically, or mechanically and chemically eroding one or more surfaces of the orthopedic implant to (i) remove alpha case from, and (ii) impart an osteoinducting roughness including micro-scale structures and nano-scale structures into, the one or more surfaces.
