A system for aligning components of a prosthetic includes a mounting plate, a fastener and an adapter coupling plate. The mounting plate comprises: a first major surface; a second major surface opposing the first major surface; an adapter accommodation hole extending through the mounting plate; and sizing indicia located on the second major surface. The fastener extends from the mounting plate. The adapter coupling plate comprises: a third major surface; a fourth major surface opposing the third major surface; an adapter coupling hole extending through the adapter coupling plate and surrounded by the adapter accommodation hole; and an indicator located on the fourth major surface to point to the sizing indicia on the mounting plate. The adapter coupling plate can be slidable along a slot surrounding the fastener or a tongue and groove system connecting the adapter coupling plate and the mounting plate and locked via the fastener.

A method of repairing a fractured humerus may include implanting a prosthetic humeral stem into a humeral canal of the fractured humerus. First and second tuberosities of the fractured humerus may be robotically machined to include first and second implant-facing surfaces that are substantially negatives of first and second surface portions of the proximal end of the prosthetic humeral stem. The first and second tuberosities may be machined so that the first and second tuberosities have first and second interlocking surfaces shaped to interlock with each other. During implantation, the first and second implant-facing surfaces are in contact with the first and second surface portions of the proximal end of the prosthetic humeral stem, and the first interlocking surface interlocks with the second interlocking surface.

An articular component is provided that includes an articular body having an articular surface, a bone anchor, a coupling portion, and a coupler. The bone anchor includes a distal end configured to be lodged in a bone and a proximal face. The coupling portion includes a recessed area in the articular body disposed between the articular surface and the distal end of the bone anchor. The coupler includes a first portion configured to mate with the coupling portion at a selected rotational position, and a second portion opposite the first portion, wherein the second portion is configured to couple, directly or indirectly, the articular body with the bone anchor.

Various embodiments disclosed herein relate to a humeral resection guide. The humeral resection guide can include a cutting block having a side surface and a cutting surface. The cutting surface can be configured to constrain at least one degree of freedom of movement of a cutting instrument during surgical alteration of the humerus. The humeral resection guide can include a boom extending away from the cutting surface of the cutting block, the boom comprising a cut depth adjustment feature disposed along at least a portion of a length of the boom. The humeral resection guide can include a cut depth indicator disposed at a population derived location along the length of the boom. The cut depth indicator can be configured to indicate that the cutting surface is at a target cut depth for the alteration of the humerus when the cut depth indicator is aligned with a support.

The present inventions relate to devices and methods that improve the positioning and fit of orthopedic reconstructive joint replacement stem implants relative to existing methods. For example, an embodiment of the device provides a stem component comprising proximal and distal body portions that can be configured to mimic a geometric shape of a central cavity region created in a bone of a joint for improving conformance and fixation of the stem component thereto. Further, another embodiment provides a system of stem implants that each have a unique medial offset for facilitating the matching of an implant to the geometry of a central cavity region of a bone. Additionally, an inclination angle of a resection surface of each of the implants in the system can remain constant or vary as a function of the medial offset.

A hip/shoulder prosthesis includes: a head component; a metaphyseal component; a diaphyseal nail, and a locking device. The head component includes: a front face and rear face; with a bore, and first and second shaped recesses in the rear face. The metaphyseal component includes: a central transverse aperture at an angle to the metaphyseal component's axis; a first end configured for threaded engagement within the bore of the head component; and a longitudinal hole that begins at the second end, transects the transverse aperture and reaches the first end, to receive the locking device. The diaphyseal nail is inserted in the femoral or humeral canal, and includes: fastening apertures that receive corresponding screws for fastening the diaphyseal nail to the femur or humerus; a portion configured to he received within, and engage, the transverse aperture of the metaphyseal component, and a transverse hole configured to receive the locking device.

Humeral prosthetic implants, systems, kits and methods of forming and using the humeral prosthetic implants, systems and kits are disclosed. The humeral prosthetic implants include proximal cup portions and distal stem portions, wherein the proximal cup portion is joined to the distal stem portion at a desired offset and/or angle configured based on an analysis of the humeral diaphysis and/or metaphysis offset in a patient. The humeral prosthetic implants may also include an adapter configured to join the proximal cup component with the stem component, wherein the adapter is configured to join the stem component to the stemless cup at a desired offset and/or angle.

Implant assemblies for reverse shoulder arthroplasty are disclosed. In one embodiment, the implant assembly comprises a humeral component, an adaptor fixed to the neck of the humeral component, and a glenosphere bearing component coupled to the adaptor. The glenosphere bearing component comprises a first bearing surface that interfaces with an articulating surface of the adaptor to allow the adaptor to rotate relative to the adaptor and humeral component. The adaptor and the glenosphere bearing component form a locking mechanism that prevents the adaptor from decoupling from the glenosphere bearing component while allowing the adaptor to remain rotatable relative to the glenosphere bearing component after the implant assembly is implanted in the patient The second bearing surface is configured to interface with a glenosphere component to allow the glenosphere bearing component to articulate relative to the glenosphere component.

A humeral prosthetic head has a non-spherical articulation surface coupled with an intermediate component connecting the head and the humerus, the intermediate component connected to the epiphysis, metaphysis, or diaphysis, or to one or more additional components connected to the humerus. The intermediate portion provides for axial and angular offset of the head with respect to a connection to the humerus, using a curvilinear tapered engagement.

A humeral stem assembly (100) includes a stem portion (104), a metaphyseal portion 108, and an intermediate spacer (112). The stem portion has a stem engagement feature (144) that has a first plurality of teeth (148). The stem engagement feature is located on a superior end of the stem portion. The metaphyseal portion has a metaphyseal engagement feature (184). The metaphyseal engagement feature can include a second plurality of teeth (188). The metaphyseal engagement feature is located on an inferior end of the metaphyseal portion. The intermediate spacer has a first spacer engagement feature (160) and a second spacer engagement feature (168). The first and second spacer engagements have a third plurality of teeth (164) on an inferior end of the intermediate spacer, and a fourth plurality of teeth (172) on a superior end of the intermediate spacer, respectively.
