20210113339 · 2021-04-22 ·

An implant for filling a bore hole in a bone includes: a biocompatible plate having upper and lower surfaces; and a support frame having a central portion located at least partially within the plate, an outer rim having a plurality of fastening points adapted for attaching the implant to bone surrounding a bore hole in which the plate is inserted, and a plurality of arms extending between the central portion and the outer rim.

APPARATUS, METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING CUSTOMIZABLE BONE IMPLANTS

The present invention includes a method for generating a three-dimensional model of a bone and generating a cut plan for excavating a portion of the bone according to the cut plan to allow the insertion of a custom implant. In a particular arrangement, the method also includes excavating the bone with an autonomous extremity excavator utilizing the cut plan generated by a processor. In a further arrangement, the method includes generating a digital model of a custom implant and generating, using the digital model, a physical model sharing the same dimensions as the digital module using manufacturing device.

20210145587 · 2021-05-20 ·

A system for treating a bone including a graft containment device extending longitudinally from a first end to a second end and including a channel extending therethrough for receiving a graft material therein, the graft containment device including a plurality of fixation openings extending therethrough and a strut extending longitudinally from a first end to a second end and including an attaching portion configured to be attached to the graft containment device and an overhang portion configured to extend beyond one of the first and second ends, when the attaching portion is attached to the graft containment device, the attaching portion including a plurality of coupling elements for engaging the fixation openings of the graft containment device, the overhang portion including an overhang opening configured to receive a bone fixation element for fixing the strut to a bone.

Robotic bone preparation for increasing implant contact surface area
11026796 · 2021-06-08 · ·

Described herein is a bone implant including at least one bone-engaging surface designed to mate with an implant-engaging surface of a bone. In the preferred embodiment, the bone-engaging surface of the implant includes a wave pattern comprising at least one peak extending in a proximal direction or at least one valley extending in a distal direction. The implant-engaging surface of the bone also includes a matching wave pattern having at least one peak and valley. Upon mating the engaging surfaces, a bone-implant interface may be created wherein the peaks and valleys of the wave patterns are aligned. As a result, there is good surface contact area at the bone-implant interface which helps prevent loosening or rotating of the implant.

FLEXIBLE ADJUSTABLE RADIOPAQUE TRIAL, PLATE, AND METHOD OF USE
20210106439 · 2021-04-15 ·

A flexible plastic, resin or polymer material forming a trial plate for use is surgery of bones including spine and extremities. The trial plate having at least one radioopaque region and which may have one radiolucent region. In some instances a main body includes one or more arms formed of subparts. Between the main body and subparts and between the subparts are rangible regions such a ribs or unbroken edges surrounding windows configured as predetermined break points to disassociate portions of an arm from the whole.

Demineralized bone fiber composition for use in minimally invasive surgery

A bone implant composition and methods thereof include bone material made into various implant shapes including a cylinder having an outermost layer and an inner layer completely surrounded by the outermost layer. The bone implant compositions and methods include a bag or cylindrical tube made from a bone material which may be filled with additional bone material.

Articles of poly(butylene succinate) and copolymers thereof

Resorbable implants, coverings and receptacles comprising poly(butylene succinate) and copolymers thereof have been developed. The implants are preferably sterilized, and contain less than 20 endotoxin units per device as determined by the limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) assay, and are particularly suitable for use in procedures where prolonged strength retention is necessary, and can include one or more bioactive agents. The implants may be made from fibers and meshes of poly(butylene succinate) and copolymers thereof, or by 3d printing molding, pultrusion or other melt or solvent processing method. The implants, or the fibers preset therein, may be oriented. These coverings and receptacles may be used to hold, or partially/fully cover, devices such as pacemakers and neurostimulators. The coverings, receptacles and implants described herein, may be made from meshes, webs, lattices, non-wovens, films, fibers, foams, molded, pultruded, machined and 3D printed forms.
