A process of bone creation between adjacent vertebrae uses an intervertebral stabilizing screw, which includes a main body with an axial through hole, a distal thread and at least one fill hole. A hollow proximal secondary body of the screw includes an external thread a travel stop. The process includes inserting the main body until the distal thread is secured to an upper vertebrae of the adjacent vertebrae such that the at least one fill hole is in inside of the disk, inserting the proximal body until reaching to the limit stop such that the proximal body is threaded inside of a pedicle and secured to a lower vertebrae of the adjacent vertebrae, and injecting a bone remodeling composition into inside of the disk through the axial hole and the at least one fill hole.

An example system for designing a patient matched implant for an orthopedic joint repair surgical procedure includes a memory configured to store a model of a bone of a patient; and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry may be configured to: obtain the model of the bone of the patient; obtain a template model of an implant; determine a shape of a surface of the implant; determine a volume between the shape of the surface of the implant and a surface of the bone defined by the model of the bone; generate, based on the determined volume and the template model, a patient matched implant model; and output a file representing the patient matched implant model.

An apparatus and methods are provided for an improved ankle prosthesis, comprising a talar component which includes a talar upper face defining a first articular surface and which extends between a talar anterior edge and an opposite talar posterior edge according to a first average direction, said first articular surface being curved according to said first average direction, said first articular surface comprising a first curved portion and a second curved portion, each extending according to said first average direction, said first curved portion having a first curvature and said second curved portion having a second curvature, said prosthesis being characterized in that said first curved portion and said second curved portion define respectively an anterior portion and a posterior portion of said first articular surface, said first curvature being greater than said second curvature.

At least one embodiment comprises a talus implant comprising: a body section; a neck section; a crown, wherein the crown is positioned at a top portion of the body section; at least one wing coupled to the body section, wherein the wing extends out from the body section. At least one embodiment further comprises at least one screw hole positioned in at least one of the neck section and the body section. In at least one embodiment the outer surface of the implant is polished. In at least one embodiment a portion of the outer surface is polished while a portion of the outer surface is roughened.

A patella implant for knee arthroplasty includes a cap and a base. The cap has an articulating surface and a plurality of first connection members. The base is to be attached to the backside of a patella of a patient. The base includes a cap support mounted to the cap. The cap support includes a plurality of first connection recesses. Each first connection member of the cap is disposed in a corresponding one of the first connection recesses of the cap support to mount the cap to the base.

Bone implants, including methods of use and assembly. The bone implants, which are optionally composite implants, generally include a distal anchoring region and a growth region that is proximal to the distal anchoring region. The distal anchoring region can have one or more distal surface features that adapt the distal anchoring region for anchoring into iliac bone. The growth region can have one or more growth features that adapt the growth region to facilitate at least one of bony on-growth, in-growth, or through-growth. The implants may be positioned along a posterior sacral alar-iliac (“SAI”) trajectory. The implants may be coupled to one or more bone stabilizing constructs, such as rod elements thereof.

One embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a glenoid implant with a body and a keel. The body includes an articulation surface and a bone facing surface, and the keel has a depth that extends from the bone facing surface to a free end of the keel. The keel has a first length and a first width, both measured in a plane perpendicular to a direction of the depth. The first length is measured perpendicular to the first width and is defined by a first distance from an inferior end of the keel to a superior end of the keel. The first width is measured at a first location adjacent to the inferior end, and the keel has a width dimension along a first portion of the keel from the first location to the superior end that tapers from the first location toward the superior end.

The present invention relates to a device and system for surgical fixation of small bones, small bone fragments, and osteotomies and more particularly to compression screw having a threaded leading portion which is joined to a section that is free from threads, and which includes an angle or from 12° to 25° in a plane through the longitudinal axis of the screw and a portion which is joined to a head having a configuration that is intended to provide anti-rotational stability and compression through the device.

There is disclosed a bone fixation device that can include a cage having an optional mesh portion. The bone fixation device can be configured to couple a leg portion to a foot portion of a user's body. In at least one embodiment, the device includes at least one cage having a plurality of struts forming cells. There can be an optional mesh portion having a pre-set porosity that can be either constant or variable in density. In at least one embodiment there can be a cage portion which is substantially spherical shaped. Alternatively, the device can be substantially egg shaped. In at least one embodiment there can be a central post hole for receiving a post. In another embodiment at least one plate or shaft can connect to the cage.
