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.

An expandable implant may include an expandable body defined by a superior endplate and an inferior endplate that are hingedly coupled and may be expanded and lordosed by an external surgical tool. The superior endplate may include a first core having a distal engagement surface and the inferior endplate may a second core having a proximal engagement surface and a threaded screw aperture. The implant may include a threaded locking screw disposed in the threaded screw aperture and movable between a locked position and an unlocked position, for example. In the locked position, the threaded locking screw may urge the distal engagement surface of the first core into direct contact with the proximal engagement surface of the second core. The implant may include a pair of mounting tangs that may be sheared off and/or recesses. The locking screw may be a break-off screw.

An expandable implant may include a superior endplate and an inferior endplate hingedly coupled together. The superior endplate may have at least one track extending in a proximal-to-distal direction and an inferior endplate may have at least one track extending in the proximal-to-distal direction. The implant may further include a proximal plate having a superior engagement surface and an inferior engagement surface. At least one shim may be disposed within the at least one tracks of the superior endplate and interior endplate, and the at least one shim may define an angle of inclination between the superior endplate and interior endplate. The at least one shim may be insert between the superior and inferior endplates to effectuate expansion and angulation. In various embodiments, the superior endplate may be supported by the superior engagement surface and the inferior endplate may be supported by inferior engagement surface.

An expandable vertebral body implant, and methods of assembly and using the implant. The vertebral body implant includes a body with a first end and a second end, a rotating member rotatably coupled to the first end of the body, wherein an end includes a plurality of first notches inset into the rotating member, an extension member moveably coupled to the rotating member, and a locking member positioned on an interior of the body. Methods for assembling and using the vertebral body implant are also disclosed.

An intervertebral fusion cage is disclosed. An intervertebral fusion cage according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a body including a receiving part of which upper and lower portions are open, an upper guide part, and a lower guide part; a moving member disposed in the receiving part; a screw which is screw-coupled to the body and moves forwards or backwards relative to the body integrally with the moving member when rotating; an upper plate which has a guided part guided by the upper guide part and is disposed above the body while being engaged with the moving member; and a lower plate which has a guided part guided by the lower guide part and is disposed under the body while being engaged with the moving member.

An expandable, adjustable inter-body fusion device is presented. The inter-body fusion device can have a first plate, a second plate, and an insert positioned substantially therebetween the first plate and the second plate. The first plate, the second plate, and the insert define an interior cavity. Moving the insert longitudinally with respect to the first and second plates increases or decreases the distance of the first plate with respect to the second plate, effectively expanding the inter-body fusion device and increasing the volume of the interior cavity. The angle between the first plate and the second plate is selectively adjustable.

A system of prosthetic implants for a total knee replacement procedure is provided. The system includes a tibial component of a knee joint implant, a tibial insert configured to be positioned against the superior side of the platform of the tibial component, a first femoral component of a knee joint implant, and a second femoral component of a knee joint implant.

The present invention relates to an animal femoral implant and, more specifically, to an animal femoral implant, which may enable artificial hip joint replacement for animals, may enable the implant to be firmly fixed to the animal femur by spontaneous bone growth of the animal, thereby preventing complications such as aseptic dissociation and bone resorption around the cement, which may occur when using bone cement, and may cause a porous part, which has relatively low strength due to a plurality of pores formed therein, to be protected by a frame part, which has relatively high strength due to a solid face formed therein, thereby preventing damage to the porous part in which the edge thereof is broken or bent by friction with the bone or by an external force in the process of inserting the femur implant into the animal femur and eliminating a problem in that porous particles that may be generated when the porous part is damaged penetrate into blood vessels and the like to cause various inflammatory reactions.

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.

A graft cage includes cross-sectional portions and longitudinal members. Each portion includes base transverse members forming a cage base; a first arm including first arm transverse members; a second arm including second arm transverse members; base connecting struts, each base connecting strut extending between first one and second one of the base members; first arm connecting struts, each first arm connecting strut extending between a first one of the first members and a second one of the first members; and second arm connecting struts, each second arm connecting strut extending between first one and second one of the second members. The longitudinal members connect the portions to one another. Intersections of the portions with the longitudinal members forming pores in the first and second arms. The pores receive an arm tip of a further graft cage therein to interlock the cage with the further cage.
