Spinal distraction system
A spinal distraction system, according to one aspect, includes an adjustable spinal distraction rod comprising first and second members, the adjustable spinal distraction rod configured for non-invasive elongation of the first and second members. The system includes an anchor rod configured for mounting to a bone of a subject, the anchor rod having one or more spring-biased tabs disposed at one end thereof, and a connector having first end and a second end, the first end having a receiving cup configured for detachable mounting on the anchor rod, wherein the one or more spring-biased tabs are configured to engage with an inner surface of the receiving cup, the connector having a second end operatively coupled to an end of a first member and wherein the second member is configured for mounting to a second bone of a subject.
EXPANDABLE SPINAL INTERBODY ASSEMBLY
An expandable implant includes a top support assembly defining an upper surface configured to engage a first portion of vertebral bone; a bottom support assembly defining a lower surface configured to engage a second portion of vertebral bone; and a control assembly coupled to the top support assembly and the bottom support assembly and configured to control relative movement between the top support assembly and the bottom support assembly between a collapsed position and an expanded position. In the collapsed position, the upper surface is generally parallel to the lower surface, and in the expanded position, a portion of the upper surface extends at an acute angle relative to a portion of the lower surface.
EXPANDABLE SPINAL INTERBODY ASSEMBLY
An expandable implant includes a top support configured to engage a first portion of vertebral bone, a bottom support configured to engage a second portion of vertebral bone, and a control assembly coupled to the top support and the bottom support and configured to control relative movement between the top support and the bottom support. The control assembly includes a control member including a head and a body portion. The head includes a recess and the body portion includes at least one access port in fluid communication with the recess to enable delivery of fluid to an interior of the implant via the recess and at least one access port.
Acetabular liner extraction
A tool assembly for extracting a liner from a prosthesis comprising an impactor and a faceplate. The impactor can be configured to receive and transmit a force. The faceplate can be configured to deliver the force from the impactor to the prosthesis to separate the liner from a shell of the prosthesis.
Anchoring device and system for an intervertebral implant, intervertebral implant and implantation instrument
Anchoring devices, anchoring systems for intervertebral implants, intervertebral implants, and instruments and methods for implanting implants are disclosed. In preferred configurations, these various objects share the feature of comprising or cooperating with an anchoring device having a body comprising at least one curved plate elongated along a longitudinal axis, designed to be inserted through a passage crossing at least a part of implant, in order to penetrate into at least one vertebral endplate and attach implant onto this vertebral endplate by means of at least one stop retaining the implant, characterized in that the body comprises at least one longitudinal rib on at least a part of at least one of its faces, said rib being designed to cooperate with a groove made in passage of implant. In some preferred configurations, anchoring device comprises withdrawal stops or latches, and/or means for withdrawing the anchor from an inserted position.

SHOULDER PROSTHESIS COMPONENTS AND ASSEMBLIES
Various embodiments disclosed herein relate to stemmed and stemless humeral anchors for use in shoulder arthroplasty procedures. For example, the humeral anchor can include a first end, a second end, and an interior surface extending between the first end and the second end. The interior surface can be disposed about a recess disposed between the first end and the second end. The recess can be configured to secure a coupling of a shoulder articular body directly to the interior surface.
SACROPELVIC FUSION IMPLANT SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING A FOUNDATION FOR SPINOPELVIC FIXATION CONSTRUCTS IN ADULT SPINAL DEFORMITY SURGERY
A method of surgically treating a patient suffering from severe pain and disability of the low back and buttock by stabilizing the patient's spinal column to their pelvis with an implant system including surgical tools and an implant designed to prevent movement between the sacrum and the ilium while being able to attach to a spinal fusion rod which connect to pedicle screws implanted in the bones of the spine of the patient in order to offer lasting relief of the patient's symptoms. The system is designed to address complications in adult spinal deformity by optimizing spinopelvic fixation via-a-vis the unique biomechanics of the SI joint. The sacropelvic system is a surgical solution which provides an additively manufactured implant at the base of the spine employing an S2AI trajectory while utilizing assisting technologies including surgical navigation and intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring.
MODULAR MEDIAL PIVOT TIBIAL INSERT FOR ENDOPROSTHETIC KNEE IMPLANT ASSEMBLY
Exemplary assemblies, apparatuses, systems, methods, and kits are provided herein related to modular tibial inserts. One such assembly can comprise a modular tibial insert assembly having: a modular medial insert component, the modular medial insert component having a medial component proximal side proximally disposed from a medial component distal base side, wherein a medial component body extends between the medial component proximal side and the medial component distal base side; a modular lateral insert component, the modular lateral insert component having a lateral component proximal side proximally disposed from a lateral component distal base side, wherein a lateral component body extends between the lateral component proximal side and the lateral component distal base side; wherein the modular tibial insert assembly has an assembled configuration and a disassembled configuration, and wherein the modular medial insert component is configured to fixedly engage the modular lateral insert component in the assembled configuration.
EXPANDABLE MEDICAL IMPLANT FOR ADOLESCENT CRANIUM DEFECTS
