An apparatus and a method are provided for performing cartilage graft implant surgeries. The apparatus comprises a graft plug kit comprising one or more grafts configured to treat osteochondral defects in various bone joint locations in a patient's body. Each of the grafts comprises a cartilage layer coupled with a bone portion. The cartilage layer comprises a thickness selected to closely match the thickness of existing cartilage at an implant location. The bone portion comprises surface features configured to encourage the patient's bone tissue to grow into the bone portion, thereby accelerating incorporation of the graft into the patient's bone. An instrument kit comprises a multiplicity of instruments configured for implantation of the grafts into the patient's body, including at least a graft inserter, a guidewire, a reamer, and a size gauge.

A surgical implant includes a tray extending from a first end to a second end along a first plane, the tray including an upper surface and a lower surface, a first post coupled to and extending from the tray away from the first plane and configured to be inserted into a bone portion, the first post including a first opening extending through the first post, a second post coupled to and extending from the tray away from the first plane and configured to be implanted into the bone portion, the second post including a second opening extending through the second post, and a fastener removably coupled to the first post and the second post, the fastener extending from a first fastener end to a second fastener end through the first opening and the second opening.

Off-center liners can be used with an acetabular cup in hip replacement or revision surgical procedures. The liners (of metal or plastic) can be laterally spaced from the acetabular cup, angled relative to the acetabular cup and/or have an opening that is offset relative to the axis of the acetabular cup. The liners have an orientation indicator that identifies where the liner should be impacted (e.g., impaction location or point) by the impactor to ensure the liner is impacted in a square manner relative to the acetabular cup.

The universal tibial insert includes a keyed lock plate generally symmetrical across a median plane and a frontal plane and is selectively engageable with an asymmetrical tibial base plate in a first orientation and a second orientation approximately 180° relative to the first orientation. This allows an upwardly presented articular surface to reciprocally interface with a medial condyle and a lateral condyle of a femoral component in articulatory relation therewith when the universal tibial insert is in either of the first orientation or the second orientation.

A glenoid implant comprises a body comprising: an articular surface and a scapula-engaging surface, the scapula-engaging surface including first and second portions angled relative to each other; and a fixation feature extending from the scapula-engaging surface. A method comprises: forming a planar bone surface at a glenoid using a guide pin; forming a first bore into the glenoid located near the guide pin; forming a second bore into the glenoid offset from the first bore; inserting an augment ream guide into the first and second bores; and forming an angled bone surface at the glenoid relative to the planar bone surface using the augment ream guide. A ream guide comprises: a base having first and second surfaces; a bone peg extending from the first surface; an alignment peg spaced from the bone peg; and a guide peg extending from the second surface at an oblique angle to the bone peg.

Implants, systems, instruments, methods, and kits for metatarsophalangeal joint arthroplasty may include metatarsal arthroplasty implants, repositioning guides, broach tools, inserter tools, and sterilizable packaging configured to facilitate metatarsal arthroplasty surgical procedures. The metatarsal arthroplasty implants may generally include an articular member having a convex articular surface, a concave bone-facing surface opposite the convex articular surface, and at least one side surface intermediate the convex articular surface and the concave bone-facing surface, as well as a central shaft sized for insertion into a metatarsal bone having a central shaft longitudinal axis, a central shaft proximal end coupled to the concave bone-facing surface of the articular member, and a central shaft distal end extending away from the concave bone-facing surface of the articular member along the central shaft longitudinal axis.

The invention relates to a glenoid (shoulder socket) implant prosthesis, a humeral implant prosthesis, devices for implanting glenoid and humeral implant prostheses, and less invasive methods of their use for the treatment of an injured or damaged shoulder.
