An implant for restoring height of a vertebral body. The implant includes upper and lower plates configured to be moved away from one another in the craniocaudal direction for the implant to be deployed. Supports are coupled to the upper plate and a distal end portion, and arranged in a crisscross configuration in the proximal-to-distal direction in each of an insertion configuration and a deployed configuration. The crisscross configuration facilitates increased expansion of the implant. The supports may be laterally spaced from one another to define a void space for receiving retaining element, and inner and outer arcuate surfaces may provide a generally cylindrical profile to the implant. One of the supports may be a support fork arranged in a V-shaped configuration. A length of the supports may be approximately 50-90% of a length of the upper and lower plates. The implant may be formed through additive manufacturing.

A temporomandibular joint replacement system includes a condylar component secured with a mandibular bone and a fossa component with a fossa backing secured with a zygomatic bone, the fossa having an open-ended concave fossa dome with a post-center peak to allow for mediolateral and anterior translation with a rounded, oblong condylar head of the condylar component. The bone-interfacing surfaces are anatomically-contoured to their respective bone surfaces and formed with materials and textures which promote osseointegration with the joint replacement.

A temporomandibular joint replacement system includes a condylar component secured with a mandibular bone and a fossa component with a fossa backing secured with a zygomatic bone and slidably attached with a removable fossa lining, the fossa lining having an open-ended concave fossa dome with a post-center peak to allow for mediolateral and anterior translation with a rounded, oblong condylar head of the condylar component. The slidable attachment mechanism of the fossa backing and fossa lining is laterally-oriented to allow for post-implantation removal and replacement without disturbing any bone or bone-interfacing components. The bone-interfacing surfaces are anatomically-contoured to their respective bone surfaces and formed with materials and textures which promote osseointegration with the joint replacement.

An interbody system including an implant and a tool for inserting and expanding the medical implant and locking the implant in place is disclosed. The medical 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. The superior and inferior endplate may include radially disposed and opposed surfaces that mate and/or directly contact each other when a locking screw is threaded through a screw aperture. The implant may include a threaded breakoff 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. When broken, the breakoff screw may comprise a recessed fracture surface.

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.

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 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.

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.

A prosthetic device can include a neck defining an upper surface and a sidewall extending from the upper surface, an opening defined by the sidewall and extending into the neck, one or more interior surfaces extending into the neck from the opening to define a female receiving cavity, and a radial head including a male protrusion received within the female receiving cavity through the opening.

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.
