A holding device for assembling orthopaedic implants includes: a stand including a columnar structure with an opening formed in the structure and configured to accept a stem and a groove formed in the structure that is configured to accept a portion of an orthopaedic implant to rotatably lock the orthopaedic implant in the opening and a base coupled to the structure and configured to stabilize the structure on a surface; and an angle set including a ring rotatably coupled to the structure and a fork configured to engage the orthopaedic implant and carried by the ring.

A femur plate is provided, the femur plate comprising a first end portion anatomically pre-formed to conform to a trochanter region of the femur and a second end portion anatomically pre-formed to conform to a condyle region of the femur, wherein the second end portion comprises at least one first opening configured to receive a bone fastener. The femur plate further comprises an elongate shaft extending from the first end portion to the second end portion, the elongate shaft comprising at least one second opening configured to receive a bone fastener. Furthermore, a periprosthetic implant system comprising the femur plate and a method of implanting the femur plate are provided.

Aspects of the present disclosure include a device for forming a custom cement cast of an acetabular implant for a patient. The device includes an elongated handle, and a head coupled to a proximal end of the elongated handle. The head includes a body, a circumferential lip, and a nipple. The body of the head is shaped as a spherical cap, and includes a circular base and an apex. The circumferential lip extends radially outwardly from the circular base of the body. The nipple extends from the apex of the body in a direction perpendicular to the circular base.

A system and method for improving upon an ability of a surgeon to repair traumatic bone injury using new materials, components, and structures. A structure may be used as an implant or a component of an external fixator for a fractured long bone with that structure having anisotropic and viscoelastic properties, such as through additive manufacturing techniques.

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.

This disclosure relates to systems for assisting surgeons in implanting joint replacement implant components. One aspect provides a system for assisting a surgeon in implanting a joint replacement implant component during a surgery of replacing a joint. The system comprises: an instrument for medullary canal preparation; a video camera to capture image data of the instrument; a computer system to: store a surgical plan; determine a pose of the instrument relative to the bone or the joint based on the image data from the video camera; assess the pose of the instrument against the surgical plan; and provide an indication to the surgeon of a clinical consequence of the pose in relation to the surgical plan.

A prosthetic hip joint implant comprises an acetabular liner having an acetabular liner inner surface and defining an acetabular recess, and a femoral component comprising a head having a head outer surface and defining a head recess, a shaft having a shaft proximal end and a shaft distal end disposed within the head recess, and a covering disposed on and fixedly secured to the head outer surface, the shaft distal end, head, and covering disposed within the acetabular liner recess such that the covering is in continuous contact with the acetabular liner inner surface. Polyaxial movement of the shaft distal end produces movement of the covering along the acetabular liner inner surface within the acetabular liner recess without producing relative movement between the covering and the head.

In the present disclosure, an artificial joint stem includes a base and a coating film located on the base. The base includes a first region, a second region, and a third region located in sequence. The coating film contains a calcium phosphate-based material and an antimicrobial material. The coating film is located across the first region and the second region, and the third region is exposed from the coating film. The surface of the coating film located in the first region has a larger surface roughness than the surface of the base in the third region.
