Humeral and glenoid articular surface implant systems and methods
One embodiment of the present disclosure provides a humeral implant. The humeral implant includes a tray including a body defining a bone facing recess and a liner recess, said bone facing recess including a ring surface and a convex surface, wherein the ring surface has a profile substantially corresponding to a profile of an outer ring of bone in an excision site of a patient; and wherein said convex surface has a profile substantially corresponding to a profile of a concave socket formed in the excision site. The humeral implant also includes a liner including a body defining a load bearing surface and a tray interface surface, said tray interface surface being configured to be at least partially received in said liner recess of said tray such that said implant is coupled to said tray.
Augment insert, shoulder prosthesis and kit comprising the augment insert
This augment insert (200), comprises a coupling member (204) for securing the augment insert to a glenoid component (103) of a shoulder prosthesis (101), and a body (202), comprising a first side (206), configured to bear against a scapular side (107) of the glenoid component when the augment insert is secured to the glenoid component by means of the coupling member; and a second side, opposed to the first side and configured to bear against or be adjacent to a scapula of a patient. According to the invention, the body (202) comprises at least one breakable portion (230), extending from the first side (206) to the second side and configured to be broken off the body. The aperture (234) is provided for accommodating an engaging member (111) of the glenoid component (103), said engaging member protruding from a scapular surface (127) of the scapular side (107) of the glenoid component (103) and being configured for securing the shoulder prosthesis to the scapula.
Perfected total shoulder prosthesis
A shoulder prosthesis includes a humeral portion and a scapular portion, each having an osseointegrable component and an articular component. The osseointegrable component in the humeral portion includes a humeral body produced as a semicircular asymmetrical cage having a proximal circular ring base facing the scapular portion and an eccentric distal cylindrical base in opposite position, which are connected by arms having one or more holes for favoring the growth of bone tissue and facilitating anchorage to the bone, the proximal circular ring base being configured to be interchangeably coupled with the articular component for an anatomical prosthesis or a concave insert for a reverse prosthesis. The osseointegrable component in the scapular portion includes a glenoid base-plate of asymmetric form for coupling to an articular component, such as a concave glenoid insert, for an anatomical prosthesis or a glenosphere for a reverse prosthesis.
HUMERAL AND GLENOID ARTICULAR SURFACE IMPLANT SYSTEMS AND METHODS
One embodiment of the present disclosure provides a humeral implant. The humeral implant includes a tray including a body defining a bone facing recess and a liner recess, said bone facing recess including a ring surface and a convex surface, wherein the ring surface has a profile substantially corresponding to a profile of an outer ring of bone in an excision site of a patient; and wherein said convex surface has a profile substantially corresponding to a profile of a concave socket formed in the excision site. The humeral implant also includes a liner including a body defining a load bearing surface and a tray interface surface, said tray interface surface being configured to be at least partially received in said liner recess of said tray such that said implant is coupled to said tray.
GLENOID IMPLANT SURGERY USING PATIENT SPECIFIC INSTRUMENTATION
A pin placement instrument for placing a pin in a bone comprises an anatomical interface with a hook-like portion being opened in a lateral direction of the instrument to receive a bone therein in a planned position. A drill guide is connected to the anatomical interface and defining at least one guide slot in a longitudinal direction of the instrument. The guide slot has a lateral opening over its full length in the drill guide to allow lateral withdrawal of the instrument in said lateral direction with the pin placed in the bone passing through the lateral opening. A bushing is removably placed in said guide slot via said longitudinal direction in a planned fit, the bushing defining a throughbore aligned with the guide slot and adapted to receive the pin extending in said longitudinal direction when the bushing is in the guide slot for pin placement.
Implant With Ceramic Joint Surface
A joint prosthesis implant includes a main body made mainly of ceramic and comprising a joint outer surface made of ceramic, of concave or convex shape, at least one tightening screw configured to tighten the main body on the patient's bone or on an intermediate element attached to said bone, and at least one added ring in the main body configured to distribute homogeneously in the main body the mechanical stresses caused by tightening the tightening screw.
Measurement device for measuring a load magnitude and a position of applied load to a curved surface
A system is disclosed herein for providing a kinetic assessment and preparation of a prosthetic joint comprising one or more prosthetic components. The system comprises a prosthetic component including sensors and circuitry configured to measure load, position of load on a curved surface, joint stability, range of motion, and impingement. In one embodiment, the system is for a ball and socket joint of a musculoskeletal system. The system further includes a computer having a display configured to graphical display quantitative measurement data to support rapid assimilation of the information. The kinetic assessment measures joint alignment under loading that will be similar to that of a final joint installation. The kinetic assessment can use trial or permanent prosthetic components. Furthermore, adjustments can be made to the applied load magnitude, position of load, and joint alignment by various means to fine-tune an installation.
Humeral Implant and Method
A humeral implant is disclosed. The implant has a humeral surface component and a stem. The humeral surface component has an articular surface and is configured for fixation to an articular portion of a proximal humerus. The stem is configured for post-surgery axial movement within the humerus. The stem is connected to the humeral surface component opposite of the articular surface. A method of implanting a humeral implant is also disclosed.
ANGLED BASEPLATE FOR HUMERAL AND GLENOID ARTICULAR SURFACE IMPLANT SYSTEMS AND METHODS
The present disclosure provides a glenoid implant system for a reverse shoulder implant system that includes a glenoid implant having a center post, and also includes an angled baseplate comprising a bone facing surface to face an implant site prepared in a glenoid region of a patient, and an implant facing surface to face and engage the glenoid implant and receive the center post of the glenoid implant, wherein the implant facing surface being at an angle with respect to a centerline of the bone facing surface.
