The invention relates to a modular interim joint prosthesis that can be inserted into a long bone, for replacing an explanted joint endoprosthesis, wherein the interim joint prosthesis has a main body having a main-body coupling segment and has a shaft having a shaft coupling segment and the shaft coupling segment can be detachably coupled to the main-body coupling segment.

The present disclosure discloses an operating instrument for a spinal implant. The operating instrument includes an extension assembly, a central rod, and an operating handle. The extension assembly includes an outer sleeve, and one end of the outer sleeve is connected with a first part of the spinal implant. The central rod passes through the outer sleeve, and one end of the central rod connects to a second part of the spinal implant. The operating handle includes a fixing element, a rotating element, and a pushing element. The rotating element is sleeved on the outer side of the fixing element. The pushing element connects with the central rod, and the rotating element presses against the pushing element. The rotating element is rotated to cause the pushing element to drive the central rod to move the second part, thereby expanding the spinal implant.

Provided is an expandable lumbar cage including an upper member, a lower member, a sagittal adjustment unit to adjust sagittal balance of a spine, and a coronal adjustment unit to adjust coronal balance of the spine. According to the foregoing description, it is possible to simultaneously adjust the sagittal balance of the spine as well as the coronal balance, thereby achieving effective treatment of the spine having compound deformity.

A spacer separates bones of a joint using a driver tool having a threaded shaft. The spacer has a superior endplate with inferior facing ramps, and an inferior endplate with superior facing ramps. Two bearings are positioned between the endplates, each bearing has superior facing ramps which mate with the inferior facing ramps of the superior endplate, and inferior facing ramps which mate with the superior facing ramps of the inferior endplate. One bearing has a threaded aperture, and the other a thrust surface. A threaded shaft is threaded into the threaded aperture to push against the thrust surface to drive the bearings apart. As the bearings move apart, the mated ramps slide against each other to drive the superior and inferior endplates apart.

An expandable interbody spacer for the spine is provided. The interbody spacer includes a housing, a top endplate and a bottom endplate. An actuator is located inside the housing between the top and bottom endplates. A locking screw is configured to drive the actuator and move the endplates between collapsed and expanded configurations. Variations of the expandable spacer are provided in which the endplates move bilaterally outwardly into uniform and parallel expansion along the latitudinal axis, the endplates angulate about a pivot point along a longitudinal axis such that the distal end of the spacer increases in height relative to the proximal end, and the endplates angulate about a pivot along a lateral axis such that the height along one lateral side of the spacer increases in height relative to the other lateral side.

The present disclosure provides an implant system. The implant system includes an anchor configured to be secured to bone within an excision site formed in a patients glenoid, said anchor including a shank and an enlarged head. The implant system also includes a baseplate including a body comprising: a bone facing surface; an implant facing surface; and a channel configured to extend radially from an entrance in an outer periphery of said body to a central region of said baseplate, said channel configured to receive said enlarged head and a portion of said shank and including an open region formed, at least in part, in said bone facing surface. The implant system also includes an implant including a body defining a load bearing surface and a baseplate recess, said baseplate recess configured to receive at least a portion of said implant facing surface to said baseplate such that said implant is coupled to said baseplate.

An orthopaedic surgical instrument includes an assembly collar having a cavity extending between a superior opening and an inferior opening. The cavity is sized to receive a tapered trunnion of an implanted femoral stem. A bore extends between an inferior end and a superior end of the assembly collar and is configured to align with an implant bore formed in the implanted femoral stem. The bore and the implant bore are configured to receive a fastener to secure the assembly collar to the implanted femoral stem. A method of utilizing the orthopaedic surgical instrument is also contemplated.

A spacer separates bones of a joint using a driver tool having a threaded shaft. The spacer has a superior endplate with inferior facing ramps, and an inferior endplate with superior facing ramps. Two bearings are positioned between the endplates, each bearing has superior facing ramps which mate with the inferior facing ramps of the superior endplate, and inferior facing ramps which mate with the superior facing ramps of the inferior endplate. One bearing has a threaded aperture, and the other a thrust surface. A threaded shaft is threaded into the threaded aperture to push against the thrust surface to drive the bearings apart. As the bearings move apart, the mated ramps slide against each other to drive the superior and inferior endplates apart.

A unibody implant movable between an expanded position and a contracted position is disclosed. The implant may include a unitary expandable body defined by an inferior portion, a superior portion, and a medial portion that are connected together. The unibody implant may include a first set screw and a second set screw rotatably supported by the body. The first set screw may have a first inclined surface facing a proximal side and the second set screw may have a second inclined surface facing a distal side. The medial portion may include a first inclined ramp and the superior portion may include a second inclined ramp. Movement of the first set screw towards the proximal side urges the first inclined surface against the first inclined ramp and movement of the second set screw towards the distal side urges the second inclined surface against the second inclined ramp.
