An improved modular rotational device includes a first and second threaded coupler for affixation along the stem of an endoprosthetic device, for example, a humeral prosthesis or a femoral prosthesis. The rotational device axis of rotation is coaxial with the stem, and its axis of rotation is located in close proximity to the intramedullary stem of the prosthesis or in close proximity to the distal articulation of the prosthesis. A housing has a proximal and distal end with an axial bore therethrough for receiving an elongated stem of the device. A lobe ring may be utilized to limit the axis of rotation of the device. Additional endoprosthetic devices may be attached to male or female threaded couplers, or to Morse tapers. A plurality of suture attachments facilitates attachment of soft tissue thereto.

An orthopedic assembly includes a tibial prosthesis that includes a body that defines an anterior side and a posterior side. The body further incudes a recess in the anterior side of the joint prosthesis and a plurality of openings that extend through the body from the anterior side to the posterior side thereof. At least a first and second opening of the openings are positioned at respective lateral and medial sides of a longitudinal axis of the tibial prosthesis. A modular insert is positioned within the recess of the body such that at least a portion of the modular insert is positioned between the openings of the body. The modular insert is formed separately from the tibial prosthesis and has a porous outer surface to promote tissue ingrowth.

Orthopedic implants and related surgical methods for using same. The implants have suture bore geometries that facilitate performance of the surgical methods, thereby providing for improved optimal biomechanical force application in various anatomies. The implants include suture bores that have an angled/diagonal, or skewed, orientation within the anatomical planes (lateral/sagittal and frontal/coronal). The suture bores have the skewed orientation so that the adjacent soft tissues (i.e., tendons or ligaments) can be advanced via the suture therethrough in superior-inferior and inferior-superior directions. Openings, or holes, at the ends of the suture bores are configured to approximate the adjacent associated soft tissue to the implant.

The improved endoprosthetic device surface treatment encourages soft tissue attachment thereto. A porous mesh surface treatment creates on an outer surface of the endoprosthetic device a three-dimensional surface structure similar to cancellous bone. Suture attachment features are provided at various locations around the treated surface structure to initially affix a vascularized soft tissue to the treated surface. As the patient heals the soft tissue grows and infiltrates the porous mesh surface to achieve an attachment strength substantially equal to the surrounding tissue.

An interbody spacer configured for implantation between spinal vertebrae. The interbody spacer including electrical circuitry within an electronics housing of the interbody spacer and a plurality of load sensors spaced apart on carriers of the interbody spacer. The plurality of load sensors electrically connectable to the electrical circuitry and configured to provide to the electrical circuitry a load signal indicative of a measurement of force exerted onto the plurality of load sensors of the interbody spacer. The interbody spacer further including a plurality of electrodes spaced apart on a surface of the interbody spacer. The plurality of electrodes electrically connectable to the electrical circuitry and configured to at least one of provide to the electrical circuitry an electrode signal indicative of an impedance measurement and generate an electrical field between at least two electrodes of the plurality of electrodes.

Bone and joint surface reconstruction methods are disclosed for the therapeutic amelioration of joint defects caused 2024/064830 by various conditions, injuries, and diseases to help eliminate or reduce pain and return the joint to its proper bio-mechanical function without the need to replace fully or partially the anatomical joint. The joint may specifically include mammalian joints such as the metatarsal phalangeal joint or other joint of the foot or ankle, for example. The methods disclosed herein leverage the significant role the subchondral bone plays in the health status of the afflicted joint.
