INDEPENDENTLY IMPLANTABLE SENSORS FOR ORTHOPEDIC IMPLANTS
A surgical sensor system for collecting internal patient data comprises a sensor module comprising a housing and a sensor disposed within the housing, and an attachment device comprising a socket for receiving the housing and an exterior anchor feature for attaching the attachment device to biological matter. A method of implanting a sensor module for use with an orthopedic implant device comprises making an insertion portal in anatomy of a patient, positioning a sensor module in the anatomy in a first position relative to the insertion portal, and positioning an orthopedic implant in the anatomy in a second position relative to the insertion portal such that the orthopedic implant is separate from the sensor module.
DUAL EXPANDABLE INTER-BODY DEVICE
The present disclosure provides for spinal implants configured for lateral insertion techniques deployable between a contracted position and an expanded position. The spinal implant may include a first endplate and a second endplate, each having a plurality of guide walls and inclined ramps. The spinal implant may further include a moving mechanism having first and second trolleys configured to act against the first and second plurality of ramps. The moving mechanism may further include a first set screw and a second set screw opposite the first set screw. The moving mechanism may be configured to operably adjust a spacing between the first and second endplates upon simultaneous rotation of the first and second set screws along a rotation axis, and may also operably adjust an angle of inclination between the first and second endplates upon rotating the first set screw or second set screw along the rotation axis.
HEIGHT AND LORDOSIS ADJUSTABLE SPACER
An expandable interbody spacer that is delivered in the anterior approach with adjustable height and end plate angulation (lordosis). The expandable interbody spacer is configured to have an initial collapsed state having a first height suitable for being inserted into an intervertebral space defined by a pair of adjacent vertebrae, and an expanded state having a second height that is greater than the first height. The expandable interbody spacer may be expanded from the initial collapsed state to the expanded state in-situ. The expanded state increases the distance between the adjacent vertebrae and provides support to the adjacent vertebrae while bone fusion occurs and also provides rigid support between the adjacent vertebrae that withstands compressive forces. By inserting the expandable interbody spacer into the intervertebral space in the initial collapsed state, it is possible to perform the surgery percutaneously with minimal disruption to tissues surrounding the surgical site and intervening soft tissue structures.
PATIENT-SPECIFIC EXPANDABLE SPINAL IMPLANTS AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A device for performing intervertebral body fusion between at a vertebral joint, and associated systems and methods for manufacturing the device are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the device includes an expandable main body configured to be locked in a desired configuration between a superior and an inferior vertebrae at the vertebral joint to facilitate the intervertebral body fusion at the vertebral joint. A first endplate is connected to the main body. The first endplate can include a superior surface having one or more patient-specific features configured to engage and mate with an inferior surface of the superior vertebra. A second endplate is connected to the main body. The second endplate can include an inferior surface having one or more patient-specific features configured to engage and mate with a superior surface of the inferior vertebra.
Augments, systems and methods for acetabular implants
The augments, systems and methods for supporting acetabular implants described herein can include an augment (100) for supporting an acetabular shell (90) having a first portion (136) of a locking mechanism. The system can also include a shell having a second portion of a locking mechanism (96). The first portion of the locking mechanism and the second portion of the locking mechanism can be adapted to move relative to one another from an unlocked state to a locked state to fixedly couple the augment to the shell. In some examples, the augment can be contourable to match the shape of a bone.
TIBIAL COMPONENT
In a tibial component, an engagement mechanism configured to engage a tibial block and a tibial tray includes a recessed portion that is disposed in a lower surface, is non-penetrating, and includes an overhanging portion protruding inward more on an opening side than on a bottom portion side in at least a part of an inner wall; and a projecting portion that protrudes from the tibial block to the lower surface side, and includes a protruding part configured to engage with the overhanging portion.
Intermediate segment for a joint component
The present invention discloses an intermediate segment (20) for arrangement between a concave implantation surface (14) of a joint component (10), particularly a femoral prosthesis, and bone tissue. The intermediate segment (20) comprises an intermediate segment body (23) with at least one side (24, 25) facing the joint component (10), wherein one (24) of the at least one side facing the joint component is convex. In addition, the intermediate segment (20) comprises a locking mechanism for attaching the intermediate segment to the joint component with at least a first (21) and a second (32) latching element, wherein at least one of the latching elements (21, 32) is movable. The present invention also relates to a joint component (10) comprising an intermediate segment (20) and a method for securing an intermediate segment (20) to a joint component (10).
KNEE PROSTHESIS
A knee joint prosthesis may be for implantation in a knee of a patient. The knee prosthesis may comprise a tibial component configured to be implanted on the tibia and a femoral component configured to be implanted on the femur. The femoral component may comprise a medial condyle with a medial articulation surface and a lateral condyle with a lateral articulation surface. The medial articulation surface and the lateral articulation surface may be shaped substantially symmetrically to each other across a femoral component plane bisecting the femoral component. The tibial component may comprise an articulation surface with a medial articulation side configured to articulate with the medial articulation surface and a lateral articulation side configured to articulate with the lateral articulation surface. The medial articulation side and the lateral articulation side may be shaped substantially asymmetrically to each other across a tibial component plane bisecting the tibial component.
Flexible interbody spacer and methods for use
The present disclosure includes implant systems, devices, and implants. The interbody spacers including a first endplate, a second endplate, and a coupling member coupled to and extending between the first endplate and the second endplate. Methods of using the interbody spacers are also disclosed.
