A surgical fixation device is provided, including a preformed cranial mesh configured to generally conform to a predetermined averaged geometry. The cranial mesh includes a preformed flexible mesh body having opposed inner and outer surfaces, and a plurality of apertures that extend through the mesh body from the outer surface to the inner surface, each of the plurality of apertures extending along a respective central axis from the outer surface to the inner surface. The mesh body is configured as-manufactured to contact the predetermined averaged geometry at least at three spaced apart locations, such that 1) no portion of the mesh body crosses the predetermined averaged geometry in a first direction from the outer surface toward the inner surface, and 2) no location on the inner surface of the mesh body is spaced from the predetermined averaged geometry a distance greater than a select distance along the first direction.

In various embodiments, an implant for interfacing with a bone structure includes a web structure including a space truss. The space truss includes two or more planar truss units having a plurality of struts joined at nodes and the web structure is configured to interface with human bone tissue. In some embodiments, a method is provided that includes accessing an intersomatic space and inserting an implant into the intersomatic space. The implant includes a web structure including a space truss. The space truss includes two or more planar truss units having a plurality of struts joined at nodes and the web structure is configured to interface with human bone tissue.

A medical product, preferably for use in treating, in particular filling and/or closing a bone cavity, wherein the product comprises a plurality of interconnected members, wherein each member has a peripheral boundary and the boundaries of adjacent members engage with one another. And a method for producing a medical product, preferably for use in treating, in particular filling and/or closing a bone cavity, wherein the product comprises a plurality of interconnected members, wherein each member has a peripheral boundary and the boundaries of adjacent members engage with one another.

In various embodiments, an implant for interfacing with a bone structure includes a web structure including a space truss. The space truss may have a plurality of struts joined at nodes and the web structure is configured to interface with human bone tissue. At least some struts may form an irregular pattern in the web structure. The space truss may include two or more planar truss units having a plurality of struts joined at nodes.

There is disclosed a bone fixation device that can include a cage having an optional mesh portion. The bone fixation device can be configured to couple a leg portion to a foot portion of a user's body. In at least one embodiment, the device includes at least one cage having a plurality of struts forming cells. There can be an optional mesh portion having a pre-set porosity that can be either constant or variable in density. In at least one embodiment there can be a cage portion which is substantially spherical shaped. Alternatively, the device can be substantially egg shaped. In at least one embodiment there can be a central post hole for receiving a post. In another embodiment at least one plate or shaft can connect to the cage.

A process for printing a talus implant comprising the steps of scanning a joint for a damaged talus, and scanning a contralateral joint for a healthy talus. Next, the process includes obtaining dimensions for a talus based upon an initial scan and then obtaining dimensions for a talus based upon the scan of the contralateral joint. Next the process includes inverting the dimensions of the talus in the contralateral joint and then comparing the dimensions of the calculated talus with a pre-set of dimensions in a database. Next the process includes exporting a set of dimensions to a printer to print a talus implant.

A system of prosthetic implants for a total knee replacement procedure is provided. The system includes a tibial component of a knee joint implant, a tibial insert configured to be positioned against the superior side of the platform of the tibial component, a first femoral component of a knee joint implant, and a second femoral component of a knee joint implant.
