An example system for designing a patient matched implant for an orthopedic joint repair surgical procedure includes a memory configured to store a model of a bone of a patient; and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry may be configured to: obtain the model of the bone of the patient; obtain a template model of an implant; determine a shape of a surface of the implant; determine a volume between the shape of the surface of the implant and a surface of the bone defined by the model of the bone; generate, based on the determined volume and the template model, a patient matched implant model; and output a file representing the patient matched implant model.

A system configured to design a customized implant includes a cutting tool, a tracker, and design software. The cutting tool is configured to resect bone from an anatomical bone along a cutting path, thereby creating a contoured bone surface. The tracker is configured to track at least a portion of the cutting path and store the at least a portion of the cutting path in a memory. The design software is configured to design an implant having a contoured implant surface that matches the contoured bone surface based at least in part on the stored cutting path.

A knee prosthesis for total knee replacement has femoral and tibial joint components. The femoral component has a medial condyle, a lateral condyle and an intercondylar recess between the condyles. The condyles in sagittal profile both have spiral outer surfaces, wherein the increasing anterior-to-posterior radii of curvature for the medial condyle is smaller than the corresponding radii of curvature for the lateral condyle. The tibial component has shallow concave medial and lateral condyle surfaces for receiving corresponding condyles of the femoral component as bearing surfaces when the femoral and tibial components are biased together under applied tension by ligaments. Posterior portions of each femoral condyle that contact the corresponding tibial condyle up to 90° flexion are substantially spherical in shape, with gradually increasing radii in coronal profile as flexion increases, while the anterior portions beyond 90° flexion are substantially elliptical in shape in coronal profile.

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.

Patient-adapted articular repair systems, including implants, instruments, and surgical plans, and methods of making and using such systems, are disclosed herein. In particular, various embodiments include methods of selecting and/or designing patient-adapted surgical repair systems using parameterized models and/or multibody simulations.

Devices, systems, techniques and methods for determining the fit of an implant and for determining one or more prognosticators, indicators or risk factors of postoperative performance are provided.

A surgical implant for total wrist replacement (TWR) includes a carpal portion and a radial portion to fully encompass both sides of the articulated joint defining wrist movement. The carpal portion is defined by a unitary structure that defines a fused form of the scaphoid, lunate and triquetrum, and bears against the radial portion for permitting articulated motion. The radial portion replaces a distal portion of the natural radius adjacent the wrist, and has the form of a “T” to combine a bearing surface with a stem adapted for implantation in the natural radius. The stem engages a receptacle or bore formed in a truncated end of the natural radius. Both the radial portion and the carpal portion patient-specific members are formed from image scans of the patient's own skeletal structures, and incorporate inverted, contralateral images of healthy structure based on an assessment of deformation in the replaced joint.

Stemless components and fracture stems for joint arthroplasty, such as shoulder arthroplasty, are disclosed. Also, methods and devices are disclosed for the optimization of shoulder arthroplasty component design through the use of medical imaging data, such as computed tomography scan data.

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.

A system and method for the field of humeral components for shoulder joint prostheses and, more specifically, to a method for constructing a range of humeral components intended to be inserted into the proximal region of the humerus during reconstructive shoulder surgery includes the following steps: obtaining a set (Evs) of statistical data relating to variables that can be used to characterise the geometry of a proximal humerus region from morphometric data (Dm) of proximal humerus regions belonging to a representative sample of a population; based on a statistical distribution, determining a set (G) of sizes forming the range of humeral components; for each of the sizes, determining a measurement (MiTn-n) for each of the variables, according to the set of statistical data; and for each of the sizes, producing a humeral component according to the measurement of each of the variables corresponding to the size.
