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.

Implant

An implant (20), prosthesis and method of use are described. The implant comprises an articulation component (24) having a bearing surface (60) and a reverse surface (62) arranged to couple to a proximal neck portion (26) of an arthroplasty implant (22) coupled to a bone. A collar (28) is arranged to couple to the reverse surface of the articulation component. The collar defines a neck hole (70) arranged to pass around the coupling between the articulation component and the proximal neck portion of the arthroplasty implant. The collar and the articulation component comprise complementary coupling features to secure the collar to the articulation component. The collar further comprises a plurality of attachment portions (74) to couple the collar to bone fragments or soft tissues. The prosthesis comprises the implant and an arthroplasty implant having a distal portion arranged to be coupled to an end of a long bone and a proximal neck portion.

Stemless shoulder implant with button lock

A system for shoulder repair includes a prosthetic stemless shoulder implant including a base member extending along a longitudinal axis from a first side to a second side. The second side adapted to engage bone of a patient. The base member defines a hole that extends along the longitudinal axis and through the second side of the base member for receiving a flexible member therethrough. The system includes a fixation construct including a first fixation device and a second fixation device, the first and second fixation devices connected by the flexible member. While the first fixation device is positioned outside of the second side of the base member and the second fixation device is positioned within the base member, the flexible member is adapted to tension the first fixation device with respect to the second fixation device.

ADJUSTABLE PRE-SUTURED ALLOGRAFT CONSTRUCT
20220313441 · 2022-10-06 ·

A pre-sutured allograft construct and method of manufacture for repairing, replacing, reconstructing, or augmenting a hip or shoulder labrum may include a folded tissue portion extending from a first end to a second end and forming top, middle, and bottom folds. A stitched pattern secures the folded tissue portion into a graft roll having an overall length extending from a first adjustable region, through a central region, and through a second adjustable region. A continuous series of whip stitches extends from the first adjustable region, through the central region, and through the second adjustable region. A series of triple circumferential stitches overlays the whip stitches in the first and the second adjustable regions, while a series of circumferential stitches alternates with the whip stitches in the central region. The construct is pre-manufactured as an allograft product, but is adjustable during the surgical procedure within the body. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

REINFORCED COLLAGEN DEVICE FOR SOFT TISSUE REPAIR
20220280690 · 2022-09-08 ·

Disclosed herein are embodiments of orthopedic devices. In several embodiments, orthopedic device comprises a biocompatible covering. In several embodiments the biocompatible covering is a collagen-based material. In several embodiments, the collagen-based material is crosslinked using an epoxide-based crosslinking agent (e.g., a diepoxide, triepoxide, etc.). In several embodiments, after a precursor crosslinked collagen-based material is prepared (e.g., by subjecting it to crosslinking conditions), residual crosslinking agent in the precursor material is quenched. In several embodiments, it has been surprisingly found that, by subjecting the precursor crosslinked collagen based material to a quenching reaction (to provide the crosslinked collagen-based material), improved properties are obtained (e.g., lower toxicity lower cytotoxicity, etc.). In several embodiments, the crosslinked collagen-based material is fabricated into an orthopedic device or used to prepare an orthopedic device (e.g., implant).

Fixation Devices And Prostheses For Soft Tissue Connection To The Same

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.

PROSTHETIC IMPLANT
20220087670 · 2022-03-24 ·

Prosthetic implant including a solid portion shaped like a first portion of a human skeletal structure and a suture portion, connected to the solid portion, and shaped like a second portion of a human skeletal structure complementary to the first portion. The suture portion includes a suture body, having a multitude of interconnected internal cavities within which a suture instrument is directed, or can be directed, through an external surface of the suture body. The suture body further includes a multitude of holes uniformly distributed on the external surface of the suture body and opening into the internal cavities. The external surface of the suture body defines a suture surface of the prosthetic implant configured to enable biological tissue to be sewn to the prosthetic implant.

Glenoid bone graft retention plate

A bone graft retention plate for implantation into a human glenoid and provides stabilization and compression of bony graft material is disclosed. The plate includes channels or apertures for suture or polymer retention cerclage that exhibit curved, smooth surfaces within the plate to allow the retention cerclage to pass through the plate while limiting friction and thus protecting the integrity of the retention means. The plate also includes surface features, such as spikes and posts, to provide further stabilization and implantation positioning. The plate features result in the distribution of forces across the surface area of a bone graft and achieve satisfactory compression of the bone graft against the glenoid without using fixation screws. An associated implantation technique uses a cerclage of suture or tape to bind the implant within the glenoid and may be employed in both open and arthroscopic surgical procedures.
