The present disclosure relates to an expandable interbody that includes superior and inferior shells enclosing a control mechanism that includes interlocking proximal and distal cages as well as an adjustment screw that longitudinally translates the distal cage relative to the proximal cage and thereby expands interbody by pushing apart the distal ends of the superior and inferior shells.

A pedicle bone fastener may include a shaft, a helical thread, and an integrated attachment feature. The shaft may include a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis. The helical thread may be disposed about the shaft along the longitudinal axis between the proximal and distal ends of the shaft. The helical thread may include a first undercut surface and a second undercut surface. The first undercut surface may be angled toward one of the proximal end and the distal end of the shaft and the second undercut surface may be angled toward the other one of the proximal end and the distal end of the shaft. The integrated attachment feature may be disposed at the proximal end of the shaft and configured to be adjustably secured to a spinal stabilization implement.

The invention relates to an intervertebral disk prosthesis (10), comprising a caudal plate (20), a cranial plate (30), and an elastic core (40) formed between the caudal plate (20) and the cranial plate (30), wherein the caudal plate (20) has a cavity (25) on the side (21) facing the cranial plate (30), wherein the core (40) is integrally connected to the cavity (25) in the caudal plate (20).

An adjustable orthopedic implant can include a neck assembly, a stem assembly, and a drive assembly having a first portion coupled to the neck assembly and a second portion coupled to the stem assembly. The drive assembly can include an actuator configured to rotate in response to the actuation signal, and a threaded rod coupled to the actuator and configured to rotate in response to rotation of the actuator. The threaded rod can engage a threaded receptacle of the stem assembly such that rotation of the threaded rod in a first direction urges the neck assembly and the stem assembly closer together, and rotation of the threaded rod in a second, opposite direction urges the neck assembly and the stem assembly further apart.

Proposed is a vertebral cage including a body which is inserted between a vertebra and a neighboring vertebra, and is provided with a space part that can be filled with bone powder; a blade which is rotatably provided on an inner side surface of the body. The cage also includes a locking means which fixes the blade, which has or has not been rotated on the body, on the inner side surface of the body, wherein the locking means comprises fixing protrusions and groove parts which are provided on mutually facing surfaces of the body and the blade, and coupled to each other.

An expandable implant having superior and inferior endplates disposed on opposite sides of a core is disclosed. The superior endplate may include a first screw engagement surface disposed on a proximal end thereof and the inferior endplate may include a second screw engagement surface disposed on a proximal end thereof. A pin may extend through corresponding pin apertures of the superior endplate, the inferior endplate, and the core. In various embodiments, the superior endplate and inferior endplate are hingedly connected to the core via the pin. The implant may include a locking screw movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the locking screw may urge an engagement surface of the superior endplate and inferior endplate such that corresponding interior surfaces of the superior and inferior endplates frictionally engage against a corresponding exterior surface of the core.

Modular endoprosthesis for at least partial replacement of a tubular bone, comprising, as module components, a stem for insertion into a bone cavity of the tubular bone, and an end piece comprising a support body with a neck part arranged on the medial aspect thereof. Said module components being able to be coupled to each other and released from each other along a longitudinal axis of the shaft. The end piece has at least two different surface configurations on its support body, namely a closed surface (6′) on a medial aspect, and a porous configuration of the surface on the opposite, lateral aspect. The latter permits and positions the adhesion of muscle tissue, specifically without suturing. The muscle trauma caused by suturing, and the peak loads that occur at the respective suture points, can thus be avoided by virtue of the invention, by means of the location-specific direct adhesion of the muscle. It is thus possible to achieve quicker and reliable mobilization of the patient, and this with a reduced risk of complications.

A system includes a first implant component and a second implant component. The first implant component is configured to be secured to a bone and includes a plate and a coupler extending upward from the plate and defining a coupler axis. The second implant component is configured to be coupled to the first implant component. The second implant component includes an articulation surface and defines a cavity configured to receive the coupler of the first implant component. The second implant component is couplable to the first implant component at a plurality of rotational orientations about the coupler axis.

An expandable interbody spacer for placement between adjacent vertebrae having two or more upper and lower endplates and lateral expansion wedges configured to couple a drive means to expand both a height and a width of the expandable interbody spacer from a collapsed state to an expanded state.

This glenoidal component for a shoulder prosthesis comprises a base which may be immobilized on the glenoid cavity of a shoulder, and an element provided to be mounted on this base and forming a convex surface of articulation centred on an axis of symmetry. This axis of symmetry is non perpendicular to a rear face of the base intended to abut against the glenoid cavity, this making it possible to compensate a defect in parallelism between the resectioned surface of the glenoid cavity and the axis of the patient's spinal column. A surgeon can select the component in which the axes of symmetry of the components are oriented differently with respect to their rear faces.
