THREE-DIMENSIONAL POROUS STRUCTURES FOR BONE INGROWTH AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING
An orthopaedic prosthetic component is provided. The orthopaedic prosthetic component comprises a porous three-dimensional structure shaped to be implanted in a patient's body. The porous three-dimensional structure comprises a plurality of unit cells. At least one unit cell comprises a first geometric structure having a first geometry and comprising a plurality of first struts, and a second geometric structure having a second geometry and comprising a plurality of second struts connected to a number of the plurality of first struts to form the second geometric structure.
EXTENDED RELEASE IMMUNOMODULATORY IMPLANT TO FACILITATE BONE MORPHOGENESIS
A method of forming an immunomodulatory implant operatively arranged to chemotactically facilitate bone morphogenesis, the method including forming a matrix of a first material, the matrix including an outer surface, and a plurality of pores, and applying an antigen to the matrix, wherein the antigen including at least one of a bacterial antigen or a viral antigen.
LOW-PROFILE PROSTHESES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS
A system includes a first prosthesis. The first prosthesis may include a body extending along a length from a first side to a second and including a third side disposed between the first side and the second side. The body may include a pair of spaced apart rails between which a channel is defined. A stem and a first fixation element may extend upwardly from the third side. A method may include coupling the first prosthesis to bone.
3D PRINTED MONOBLOCK ORTHOPAEDIC SURGICAL IMPLANT WITH CUSTOMIZED PATIENT-SPECIFIC AUGMENT
An acetabular shell component includes a solid substrate, a porous outer layer coupled to the solid substrate, a porous inner layer coupled to the solid substrate, and an inner bearing coupled to the porous inner layer. One or more adjuncts extend outward from the porous outer layer. Each adjunct includes an outer surface that defines a customized patient-specific negative contour shaped to conform to a positive contour of a patient's bone. A method for manufacturing the acetabular shell component using an additive manufacturing process is also disclosed.
Interbody spacer for spinal fusion
An interbody spacer for spinal fusion surgery includes first and second opposite side walls that have open-cell metal foam at upper and lower faces, and a three-dimensional lattice disposed between open-cell metal foam at the upper and lower faces. The open-cell metal foam is in communication with the three-dimensional lattice so that bone growth can enter the three-dimensional lattice from the open-cell metal foam. The interbody spacer may be formed by additive manufacturing.
PAD FOR ACETABULAR BONE REVISION AND RECONSTRUCTION AND FIXING STRUCTURE FOR PAD AND ACETABULAR CUP PROSTHESIS
The present disclosure relates to the field of medical instruments, in particular to a pad for acetabular bone revision and reconstruction and a fixing structure for a pad and an acetabular cup prosthesis. The pad is located between an acetabular cup prosthesis and the acetabular bone, and is connected to the acetabular cup prosthesis and the acetabular bone respectively. The pad includes a first component and a second component which has the same or different radius and shape as or from the radius and shape of the first component; the first component is movably connected with the second component; and the shape of the connected first component and second component is matched with a defective part of the acetabular bone.
HUMERAL IMPLANT ANCHOR SYSTEM
A stemless humeral shoulder assembly having a base member and an anchor advanceable into the base member. The base member can include a distal end that can be embedded in bone and a proximal end that can be disposed at a bone surface. The base member can also have a plurality of spaced apart arms projecting from the proximal end to the distal end. The anchor can project circumferentially into the arms and into a space between the arms. When the anchor is advanced into the base member, the anchor can be exposed between the arms. A recess can project distally from a proximal end of the anchor to within the base member. The recess can receive a mounting member of an anatomical or reverse joint interface.
Process for fabricating bioactive vertebral endplate bone-contacting surfaces on a spinal implant
An interbody spinal implant including a body having a top surface, a bottom surface, opposing lateral sides, and opposing anterior and posterior portions. At least a portion of the top surface, the bottom surface, or both surfaces has a roughened surface topography including both micro features and nano features, without sharp teeth that risk damage to bone structures, adapted to grip bone through friction generated when the implant is placed between two vertebrae and to inhibit migration of the implant. The roughened surface topography typically further includes macro features and the macro features, micro features, and nano features overlap. Also disclosed are methods of using such implants and processes of fabricating a roughened surface topography on a surface of an implant. The process includes separate and sequential macro processing, micro processing, and nano processing steps.
Press fit stem
A method of implanting a medical implant comprises the steps of reaming a tapered bore to a first depth and a counter bore, coaxial to the tapered bore, to a second depth less than the first depth in a long bone. The counter bore has a larger diameter than the tapered bore. The method further includes inserting a medical implant into the tapered bore and counter bore. The medical implant includes a stem and a collar disposed around a portion of the stem. Inserting the medical implant include fully seating a portion of the stem into the tapered bore to form a press-fit between the stem and the long bone. The collar may be moved into the counter bore to a depth less than the second depth.
Three-Dimensional Pre-Vascularized Scaffold for Bone Regeneration
The present invention provides scaffolds comprising dual structural organization for bone and regeneration. Methods for fabricating and using the scaffold are also disclosed.
