An implant for repairing a cartilage defect comprising a first layer and a second layer. The first layer comprises a membrane-like structure and the second layer comprises a sponge-like structure with directional and/or interconnected pores. The first layer is facing the synovial space and the second layer is located towards bone.

A knee replacement system for enabling natural knee movement in a leg comprising a prosthetic is provided. The prosthetic includes a tibial portion at least partially implantable on a resected surface of a tibia; a plate portion attached to the tibial portion and at least partially implantable in a meniscal space; wherein the plate portion comprises a top surface having a medial recess and a lateral recess and a bottom surface attached to a top surface of the tibial portion wherein the tibial portion and the plate portion are one piece, wherein a medial side surface, a lateral side surface, a posterior side surface and an anterior side surface are attached to at least a portion of the top surface and at least a portion of the bottom surface and defining a medial side edge, a lateral side edge, a posterior side edge and an anterior side edge respectively, where in at least a portion of one of the medial side edge, lateral side edge, posterior side edge, and anterior side edge is oblique.

Methods and devices are disclosed relating improved articular models, implant components, and related guide tools and procedures. In addition, methods and devices are disclosed relating articular models, implant components, and/or related guide tools and procedures that include one or more features derived from patient-data, for example, images of the patient's joint. The data can be used to create a model for analyzing a patient's joint and to devise and evaluate a course of corrective action. The data also can be used to create patient-adapted implant components and related tools and procedures.

A mosaic implant (2010) comprises a mesh support frame comprising a plurality of polygonal support rings (2040 A, B, C) connected by a plurality of struts (2014), and a plurality of mosaic plates (2012). The support rings are positioned within the mosaic plates; the struts extend between adjacent plates. An implant (1510) for filling a bore hole comprises a plate (1512) and a support frame (1520) having a central portion (1522) located at least partially within the plate, a polygonal outer rim (1524) having a plurality of fastening points for attaching the implant to bone surrounding a bore hole, and a plurality of arms (1530) extending between the central portion and the outer rim. The plurality of arms extend inwardly and downwardly away from the outer rim such that the central portion is located below the plane of the outer rim and the upper surface of the plate is flush with or slightly above the upper surface of the outer rim.

According to one example, a bearing component for a knee arthroplasty is disclosed. The bearing component can optionally comprise any one or combination of: a medial compartment having an medial articular surface with a medial articular track and having a first thickness as measured at the medial articular track between the medial articular surface a medial distal surface; and a lateral compartment having a lateral articular surface with a lateral articular track and having a second thickness as measured at the lateral articular track between the lateral articular surface a lateral distal surface; wherein the medial articular surface at the medial articular track and the lateral articular surface at the lateral articular track each have an inclination so as to form an acute angle with respect to a resected proximal surface of a tibia.

An intervertebral implant can include a core and a flexible end plate. The core can have a core body that is elongate along a first direction and defines first and second outer surfaces. The flexible end plate can define an inner surface and an opposed bone facing surface that is configured to abut a vertebral body. The flexible end plate can be coupled to the core such that at least a portion of the inner surface faces the first outer surface and is spaced from the first outer surface. The flexible end plate is configured to resiliently flex toward a compressed configuration such that as the flexible end plate flexes toward the compressed configuration, a first end moves relative to the core along the first direction and the portion of the inner surface moves toward the first outer surface.

A wrist endoprosthesis (2) for functional replacement of the human wrist, containing a radius component (4) that has a shaft (10) for anchoring in the radius, a head (12), and a first joint surface (16), which is implemented on a distal head face (14), and a carpal component (6) that has a proximal carpal face (22), a distal carpal face (20) and a second joint surface (24) which is formed on the proximal carpal face (22) and interacts with the first joint surface (169) of the radius component (4), characterized in that the carpal component (6) is substantially trough-shaped, in order to at least partially surround the carpal bones. Also, a wrist endoprosthesis (2) that has anti-luxation protection (8), a method for producing wrist endoprostheses (2) and a computer program product.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to an orbital floor implant (10). One embodiment provides an implant with a first surface that is a fully porous, bone-side layer (16) and a second surface that is a non-porous, orbital content-side layer (18). The implant material itself may be polymeric material throughout, without the need for an embedded mesh or other support matrix. The implant is provided in a pre-shaped configuration and is of a material that allows it to be bent for shaping purposes. An extending tab (12) with eyelet portion/opening (14) can enhance securement options to a patient's bone.

An orthopedic prosthesis includes a joint replacement portion that has a first side, a second side opposite the first side, and a screw hole that extends through the joint replacement portion from the first side and through the second side. The prosthesis also includes a peg that extends from the second side and that has a concave relief surface that partially defines the screw hole.
