Systems and methods may use a tensor device in various aspects of a knee revision. For example, the tensor device may include a femoral arm configured to couple with an end portion of a femoral intramedullary canal reamer and a tibial arm moveably connected to the femoral arm, the tibial arm configured to couple with an end portion of a tibial intramedullary canal reamer. The tensor device may include a component or be used to identify a knee gap or a component size for an implant.

Disclosed are prosthesis systems and methods that provide ways by which the articulating surfaces of the implant can be exchanged such that the anatomic surfaces can be converted to reverse surfaces, while not exchanging the fixation components. Also disclosed herein are methods by which the surgeon can implant an inset anatomic articulating glenoid implant whereby at a later date, can remove the anatomic articulating surface and replace it with a reverse articulating surface such that the primary means of fixation remains well fixed in the glenoid fossa at the moment of articular exchange.

A femoral component kit includes a piston. The piston includes a notch formed in a bottom surface. The kit includes a femoral component mold having a mold body with a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a bottom. The sidewalls and bottom define a recess for receiving an antibiotic-impregnated material. The recess includes depressed sections that are spaced apart by an inner section. The outer sections are transverse to a longitudinal axis of the mold. The inner section includes a keel that extends upward and has a height that sets a size of a femoral component produced using the mold. The keel is aligned with the notch when the piston is inserted within the mold. The notch and the keel may include one or more calibration markings that indicate increments of adjustments to the size of the femoral component and resulting flexion and extension gaps and joint space position.

Provided is a method for converting a modular anatomic shoulder implant to a modular reverse shoulder implant, wherein the modular anatomic shoulder implant and the modular reverse shoulder implant have novel configurations.

An orthopaedic joint replacement system is shown and described. The system includes a number of prosthetic components configured to be implanted into a patient's knee. The system also includes a number of surgical instruments configured for use in preparing the bones of the patient's knee to receive the implants. A method or technique for using the surgical instruments to prepare the bones is also disclosed.

A surgical device for pin insertion in a bone of a subject to aid in performing a bone cutting procedure is provided that includes a drive portion configured to drive a pin for insertion into the bone. The drive portion has a pin drive assembly with a shaft having a shaft proximal end. At least one magnet is associated with the shaft proximal end adapted for attraction and retention of the pin in the shaft proximal end. A spindle assembly is adapted to drive the shaft so as to rotate the pin into the bone to a degree of bone retention that overcomes the attraction and the retention of the pin in the shaft proximal end. An alignment system for surgical bone cutting procedures inclusive of the same is also provided along with a method for aligning a cutting guide on a subject's bone.

Prostheses, acetabular apparatuses, and methods of use are disclosed. In some embodiments, an acetabular apparatus includes an acetabular cup and an acetabular cage disposed within an interior of the acetabular cup. The acetabular cage may include a central portion including a first section and a second section rotatably coupled together, and a first flange extending from the first section and a second flange extending from the second section. The acetabular prosthesis may further include a fastener extending through each of the acetabular cup and the central portion of the acetabular cage.

An offset coupler is provided. The offset coupler includes a body having a stem coupling component and revision coupling component. The revision coupling component is offset from the stem coupling component along a longitudinal axis. The body includes a porous material which allows bone to grow into the porous material.

An improved joint implant apparatus, system, and method. The system includes an implant having a bone-facing articular surface configured to replace at least part of a natural articular surface of a bone adjacent to a joint. The system also includes a transosseous coupler and a bone anchor configured to reside proximate another surface of the bone, separated from the natural articular surface by a bone tunnel. The bone anchor is configured to couple the transosseous coupler to the bone such that the transosseous coupler retains the implant in place on the natural articular surface of the bone.

The invention relates to an augmentation device comprising an annular cone surrounding a channel which extends axially along a longitudinal axis of the augmentation device from a proximal cone end to a distal cone end, wherein an outer diameter of the cone decreases from the proximal cone end in the direction of the distal cone end.
