A revision implant component comprising a body having a plurality of screw holes and a tapered head configured to engage a talar dome component of a multi-component ankle prosthesis. A surgical method is disclosed which includes creating an incision in a patient, exposing a multi-component ankle prosthesis implanted in a patient, disassembling at least one component of the multi-component ankle prosthesis, affixing a revision implant component to non-damaged bone using screws, and coupling the revision implant component to a talar dome of the multi-component ankle prosthesis.

Hard-tissue implants are provided that include a bulk implant, a face, pillars, slots, and at least one support member. The pillars are for contacting a hard tissue. The slots are to be occupied by the hard tissue. The at least one support member is for contacting the hard tissue. The hard-tissue implant has a Young's modulus of elasticity of at least 3 GPa, and has a ratio of the sum of (i) the volumes of the slots to (ii) the sum of the volumes of the pillars and the volumes of the slots of 0.40:1 to 0.90:1. Methods of making and using hard-tissue implants are also provided.

The present disclosure relates to an instrument. The instrument includes a handle coupled with a rod, and a body portion configured to receive the rod in a central portion thereof. The instrument also includes a coupling portion configured to releasably couple with one or more components of an implant. Actuation of the handle drives the rod to actuate a first implant component relative to a second implant component so as to position the first implant component adjacent the second implant component.

The present disclosure relates to an artificial ankle joint tibial component and, more particularly, to an artificial ankle joint tibial component of an implant that is implanted into a body, the implant including: a body part having a contact surface in contact with a resected surface of a distal end of a tibia of a joint and a joint surface facing a joint; and a fixing part formed to extend a predetermined length upwards from the contact surface, wherein the fixing part is configured as a single body formed to extent a predetermined length upwards from the center in the front area of the contact surface and includes a wing extending to one side, and wherein the wing includes at least one posterior wing that extends at a predetermined angle relative to an AP line, thereby preventing stress from being concentrated on one wing to avoid a fracture thereof and increasing the contact area between a bone and an implant to strengthen fixing force, prevent rotation, and disperse stress, so that bone resorption around the wing can be prevented.

A system includes a cartridge having an elongate body extending from a first end to a second end and having a top side and a bottom side. The cartridge defines a first hole adjacent to the first end that extends through the cartridge from the bottom side to the top side. The top side of the cartridge defines a pair of parallel slots that extend perpendicular with respect to a longitudinal axis of the cartridge. Each slot of the pair of parallel slots is equidistant from a central axis defined by the first hole.

Provided is a prosthesis for ankle arthroplasty including a talar dome component configured to be attached to a talus bone. Also provided is a guide instrument for guiding a reamer to prepare a talus to receive the talar dome component.

A system includes a first implant component and a second implant component. The first implant component is configured to be secured to a bone and includes a plate and a coupler extending upward from the plate and defining a coupler axis. The second implant component is configured to be coupled to the first implant component. The second implant component includes an articulation surface and defines a cavity configured to receive the coupler of the first implant component. The second implant component is couplable to the first implant component at a plurality of rotational orientations about the coupler axis.

A partial ankle prosthesis includes a tibial component including a superior surface configured to be attached to a lower end of a patient's tibia; a poly component that is fixedly attached to the tibial component and includes a concave inferior surface of an anti-friction material; and a talar component including an inferior surface configured to be attached to a patient's talus and a single convex superior surface configured to mate with the inferior surface of the poly component; and the partial ankle prosthesis is configured to be implanted in a single compartment of a patient's ankle.

An apparatus includes a body extending from a first end to a second end. The first end is a leading end, and the second end includes a first coupling element configured to couple the body to a first other component. The body includes an external fixation element extending along a length of the first component. The external fixation element is configured to engage bone. Systems and methods are also disclosed.

Provided is a novel joint replacement prosthesis that includes a base component, and one or more modular stems. The base component includes a bone-facing surface including one or more stem connectors configured for receiving and forming connections with the one or more modular stems inserted from the bone-facing surface side.
