A system for repairing a glenoid defect of a specific patient can include a patient-specific punch and a patient-specific shaping block. The patient-specific punch can form a patient-specific glenoid implant from a bone puck. The patient-specific shaping block can shape the patient-specific glenoid implant to match and fill a glenoid defect of a specific patient.

A self-drilling bone fusion screw apparatus is disclosed which includes at least first and second sliding boxes. A first screw member having a tapered end and a threaded body is disposed within the first sliding box, and a second screw member having a tapered end and a threaded body disposed within the second sliding box. An adjuster adjusts the height of the sliding boxes. The screw members are screwed into vertebral bodies in order to fuse the vertebral bodies together. A plurality of the self-drilling bone fusion screw apparatuses may be attached together and/or integrated via a plate or cage. Also disclosed is a cervical facet staple that includes a curved staple base and at least two prongs attached to the bottom surface of the curved staple base.

A device for forcibly inserting a surgical implant into a receiving bone (4), by impaction, comprising an impactor (10) which exerts an impact force on the implant and is associated with at least one sensor (12). The sensor (12) measures the deformation of the impactor (10), and provides a measurement signal representing the temporal variation of the deformation during an impact. The sensor (12) is connected to a processing unit (30) configured to calculate, on the basis of the temporal variation of the deformation of the impactor (10) during the impact, an indicator representative of the level of contact between the implant and the receiving bone (4).

An implant for an artificial hip joint and, more specifically, a dual mobility acetabular cup assembly for an artificial hip joint is configured to have improved locking mechanism between a liner and a shell and improved resistance to micromotion and to guide the liner into the shell with proper orientation by providing stable liner-shell fastening structure to the acetabular cup assembly.

An orthopedic assembly is described that comprises an orthopedic device, an anchor, and a locking mechanism. The orthopedic device can be a plate member having an aperture that is configured to receive the anchor. The anchor can include a head, neck and shank portion. The head portion can include a plurality of arms separated by grooves that are capable of splaying. The assembly is configured such that when the locking mechanism is inserted into the head portion, this causes expansion of the arms of the head. This expansion locks and secures the anchor to the orthopedic device. Various instruments are provided that can deliver the locking mechanism to the anchor, and can provide impact to lock functionality.

A surgical tool assembly having a striking assembly is disclosed. The surgical tool assembly includes a handle for attachment to a tool, and a striking assembly for attachment to the handle. The striking assembly includes a frame, an impact plate extending from the frame, and a guard attached to the frame and movable between a first position adjacent the frame and a second position. The second position may be distal to the frame, e.g., adjacent the handle.

Methods of inserting and retaining interbody fusion material are disclosed. In some embodiments, the methods include inserting an anchored implant comprising a bone anchoring portion and an engagement portion. A method may also include inserting at least one bone fusion material within a disc space between two adjacent vertebral bodies. In some embodiments, a method includes driving the bone anchoring portion into an outer surface of at least one of the adjacent vertebral bodies and recessing the bone anchoring portion within the outer surface of the at least one adjacent vertebral body.

The invention provides a pair of dual-purpose forceps, comprising a first forceps body and a second forceps body. When the first forceps body is connected with the second forceps body by means of a first pressurizing connecting member and a second pressurizing connecting member, a first handheld member and a second handheld member move towards each other, and a first pressurizing functional member and a second pressurizing functional member also move towards each other to complete pressurizing; when the first forceps body is connected with the second forceps body by means of a first opening connecting member and a second opening connecting member, the first handheld member and the second handheld member move towards each other, and a first opening function member and a second opening function portion face away from each other to complete opening. The dual-purpose forceps is simple in structure and is operated conveniently so that the double-purpose forceps can switch freely between opening and pressurizing functions conveniently and quickly.

A surgical device includes a surgical instrument and a surgical impactor. The surgical instrument includes a connector whereon a notch is formed. The surgical impactor is configured to be connected to the surgical instrument and includes a shaft, an engaging head, a lever and an operating component. The engaging head is disposed on the shaft for engaging with the connector. The lever is movably disposed on the shaft for engaging with the notch. The operating component is movably disposed on the shaft and includes a wedge-shaped portion movably located between the lever and the shaft. The wedge-shaped portion drives the lever to engage with the notch and eliminate gaps and tolerances between the lever and other structures, including the lever and the notch, during movement of the wedge-shaped portion to a locked position, so as to provide a shock-absorbable and releasable connection between the surgical instrument and the surgical impactor.

Devices, systems, and methods for bone stabilization, especially ulna head stabilization. The stabilization system may include a bone plate having an elongated portion extending along a longitudinal axis between a proximal end and a distal end. The bone plate defines a plurality of through holes extending through the elongated portion. A plurality of fasteners are configured to extend through one or more of the plurality of through holes in the bone plate and configured to secure the bone plate to the bone. The proximal end of the elongate portion has an arcuate configuration.
