An implant configured for fusing a first bone segment and a second bone segment during an operative procedure and constructed in accordance to one example of the present disclosure includes an implant body, a first bone interfacing portion and a second bone interfacing portion. The implant body can extend longitudinally between an insertion end and an opposite end. The first bone interfacing portion can be provided on the implant body and be configured to be implanted relative to the first bone segment. The second bone interfacing portion can be provided on the implant body and be configured to be implanted relative to the second bone segment. The first and second bone interfacing portions can be inserted dorsally into the first and second bone segments, respectively.

A bone fusion implant is provided for treating conditions of Proximal Interphalangeal (PIP), Distal interphalangeal (DIP), and metatarsophalangeal (MTP) foot joints. The bone fusion implant may be a cortical bone allograft sized to fuse the foot joint to be treated. A proximal portion of the implant may be pressed into a hole drilled in a proximal bone portion of the foot joint, and a distal portion of the implant may be pressed into a hole drilled in a distal bone portion of the foot joint. Ramps on the proximal and distal portions facilitate press-fitting the implant into the holes in the bone portions. Side ramps ensure that the bone fusion implant remains substantially aligned with the foot joint while the distal portion is pressed into the hole into the distal bone portion. Grooves on the ramps alleviate pressure and ease inserting the implant into the holes in the bone portions.

An implant includes a curved first plate section having a curvature about a longitudinal axis extending in a longitudinal direction. The first plate section has a first hole and a second hole. The first hole and the second hole are positioned to receive respective bone screws for attaching the implant to a first curved surface of a bone having a syndesmosis. A second plate section extends continuously from the first plate section. The second plate section has at least a third hole that is positioned to be offset from the first hole and the second hole in a direction that is anterior or posterior from the first hole and the second hole in a case where the longitudinal axis is aligned along a superior-inferior direction. The third hole is configured to receive at least one screw or at least one button for holding a suture at a position offset from the first line segment hole and the second hole in the anterior or posterior direction, for reducing the syndesmosis.

Medical implants, specifically small to large orthopedic implant joint replacements. Systems and methods for manufacturing orthopedic implant joint replacements and their instrumentation.

A device for use during an arthroplasty procedure of a joint of a patient, the joint extending between a first joint end of a first bone and an abutting second joint end of a second bone of the patient. The device includes first and second components that can be mated together. The first component includes an attachment fitting configured for disposing over the first joint end of the first bone and a stem extending from the attachment fitting and suitable for extending along an intra-medullary canal of the first bone. The second component includes an end plate configured to mate with the attachment fitting and a longitudinal plate extending from the end plate and configured for disposing along a medial, longitudinal surface of the first bone. The device also includes at least one fastener for coupling the longitudinal plate to the first bone.

A flexible, cannulated bone implant includes a proximal stem having a proximal end, a distal end, and a proximal conduit extending from the proximal end to the distal end of the proximal stem, a distal stem having a proximal end, a distal end, and a distal conduit extending from the proximal end to the distal end of the distal stem, and a flexible hinge interconnecting the distal end of the proximal stem with the proximal end of the distal stem for allowing the proximal and distal stems to flex relative to one another. The implant includes a proximal stem protective tube disposed within the proximal conduit of the proximal stem, and a distal stem protective tube disposed within the distal conduit of the distal stem. An elongated pin extends through the distal stem protective tube disposed within the distal stem and the proximal stem protective tube disposed within the proximal stem for securing the implant to bone.

An implant can be used for the treatment of fat pad atrophy. The implant can be installed in the ball of the foot, the heel of the foot, the hands, or other areas. The implant can supplement or replace a patient's fat pads. In some instances, the implant can include an implant pad having a non-permeable external lining and an internal cavity enclosed by the external lining. The internal cavity can include a filler material. The implant can include features that resist rupture and/or migration.

Bone fusion system, plate system, guide, implant, kit and methods for using the bone fusion system, plate system, guide and implant are disclosed. The bone fusion system includes an alignment guide, an implant, and at least one fastener inserted through the implant. The alignment guide includes a body portion, a first lobe positioned at a first end of the body portion, a second lobe positioned at a second end of the body portion, and an extension member extending away from a first side of the body portion. The implant includes a body portion, a first arm extending away from the body portion in a first direction, a second arm extending away from the body portion in a second direction, and a third arm extending away from the body portion laterally between first and second arms. Finally, methods for using the bone fusion system, plate system, guide and implant are disclosed.

A medical grade thermoplastic or polymer implant with an osteoconductive coating is provided, specifically for corrections of the distal and proximal interphalangeal toe joints of the foot. The implant can be either straight or angled, and can be either solid or cannulated for insertion. The implant is sized and shaped depending on the specific anatomy and desired correction. End portions of the implant may be coated with an osteoconductive coating that promotes bone growth, but may reduce radiolucency. Thus, a central portion of the implant may remain uncoated to increase radiolucency of the implant at the region where two bones come together.

A reversible bone coupling device including a first component having a first elongated stem portion for insertion from a first end longitudinally into a surface of a first bone piece, and a second component having a second elongated stem portion for insertion from a second end longitudinally into a surface of a second bone piece, and a connector extending from a second top for coupling with the first component and reversibly locking therein.
