An improved modular rotational device includes a first and second threaded coupler for affixation along the stem of an endoprosthetic device, for example, a humeral prosthesis or a femoral prosthesis. The rotational device axis of rotation is coaxial with the stem, and its axis of rotation is located in close proximity to the intramedullary stem of the prosthesis or in close proximity to the distal articulation of the prosthesis. A housing has a proximal and distal end with an axial bore therethrough for receiving an elongated stem of the device. A lobe ring may be utilized to limit the axis of rotation of the device. Additional endoprosthetic devices may be attached to male or female threaded couplers, or to Morse tapers. A plurality of suture attachments facilitates attachment of soft tissue thereto.

A synthetic tissue-graft scaffold (10) includes one or more nominally identical scaffold cages (12) that are configured to facilitate regrowth of tissue of an organism in and around the scaffold cages. Each scaffold cage comprises a volumetric enclosure (14) bounded by a perforated wall structure (30) that has an interior surface (32) and an exterior surface (34). A first annular inlet (22) and second annular inlet (24) positioned at opposite ends of the enclosure form, respectively, a first conjoining surface (54) and a second conjoining surface (56) that are configured so that confronting conjoining surfaces form complementary surfaces to each other. A perforated platform (60) is bounded by the interior surface of the enclosure and provides passageways (62) within the interior chamber. Corridors (40) extend through the perforated wall structure and communicate with the passageways to enable migration of material within and out of the cage.

Bone implants, including methods of use and assembly. The bone implants, which are optionally composite implants, generally include a distal anchoring region and a growth region that is proximal to the distal anchoring region. The distal anchoring region can have one or more distal surface features that adapt the distal anchoring region for anchoring into iliac bone. The growth region can have one or more growth features that adapt the growth region to facilitate at least one of bony on-growth, in-growth, or through-growth. The implants may be positioned along a posterior sacral alar-iliac (“SAI”) trajectory. The implants may be coupled to one or more bone stabilizing constructs, such as rod elements thereof.

The invention discloses a bionic artificial hip joint. The artificial hip joint includes a femoral stem located above corpus femoris, and a convex force-bearing part is provided on the femoral stem. The force-bearing part abuts against the inner side of the cortex on greater trochanter and bears a part of the longitudinal stress; its hollow design is convenient for bone grafting, so that the prosthesis and the greater trochanter can be integrated. Replacement surgery can preserve the hard cortex on the greater trochanter, providing another focus point for the femoral stem and further improving the stability of the connection between the bionic artificial hip joint and corpus femoris.

At least one embodiment comprises a talus implant comprising: a body section; a neck section; a crown, wherein the crown is positioned at a top portion of the body section; at least one wing coupled to the body section, wherein the wing extends out from the body section. At least one embodiment further comprises at least one screw hole positioned in at least one of the neck section and the body section. In at least one embodiment the outer surface of the implant is polished. In at least one embodiment a portion of the outer surface is polished while a portion of the outer surface is roughened.

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 joint spacer, in particular a knee spacer and a hip spacer is provided which is long-lasting and is sufficiently cushioned and abrasion-resistant and which can also support locally very high loads. A method for treating osteoarthritis by inserting a disk-shaped member into a joint of a patient is also disclosed.

Various embodiments of implant systems and related apparatus, and methods of operating the same are described herein. In various embodiments, an implant for interfacing with a bone structure includes a web structure, including a space truss, configured to interface with human bone tissue. The space truss includes two or more planar truss units having a plurality of struts joined at nodes, implants may be coated with or include fibers or particles to enhance bone growth around and through the implant.

The present invention relates to a vertebral system comprising a vertebral implant (2) and a plurality of inserts, said implant being designed to be implanted in a vertebral segment composed of at least two vertebrae and including a body (20) the walls whereof delimit a cavity (23) leading to the outside of the body (20) through at least one opening in at least one of said walls, at least one passage (21) passing through the implant (2) from the periphery to an upper or lower surface to receive a bone-anchoring device (1) capable of anchoring the implant (2) in at least one of said vertebrae, the system being characterized in that it includes at least two inserts selected from among the following inserts: at least one graft insert (3, 3A, 3B, 4, 5A, 5B, 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D, 202, 250) capable of being colonized by bone tissue and/or receiving at least one bone tissue graft and/or at least one substitute;
and/or at least one bone-anchoring insert (210) comprising said passage (21) capable of receiving said bone-anchoring device (1).
