A talar implant includes a post projecting from a superior surface of the plate and includes at least one threaded hole. A talar dome having an inferior surface is configured to face the plate and an opening in the inferior surface is shaped to receive the post. The talar dome includes at least one through hole having a threaded surface and a groove. The groove has a larger outer diameter than the threaded surface. At least one fastener is configured to engage the threaded hole of the post and the threaded surface of the through hole. The at least one fastener has a groove that is aligned with the groove of the through hole when the fastener is inserted in the talar dome and the post. At least one clip is configured to engage the groove of the through hole of the talar dome and the groove of the fastener.

The invention relates to an augmentation device comprising an annular cone surrounding a channel which extends through the cone from a proximal cone end to a distal cone end of said cone. The invention furthermore relates to a method for adapting a cone size of such an augmentation device.

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.

A prosthetic device for use as an artificial meniscus is disclosed. The prosthetic device restores stress distribution, stability, and function to the knee joint after removal of the damaged natural meniscus. In some embodiments, the prosthetic device includes an anti-migration feature that inhibits extreme movement within the joint while permitting free floating over a significant range. In one aspect, the anti-migration feature is an enlarged anterior structure or a posterior meniscus remnant engaging channel while in another aspect, the anti-migration feature includes a tethering member. Still further, removable radiopaque features are provided to enhance trialing of the implant prior to final implantation within the joint.

A surgical implant having a plastic (e.g., PEEK) component having an exposed surface, wherein at least a portion of the exposed surface has a plurality of parallel microgrooves that (i) enhance bone growth and osseointegration with adjacent bone and, after the osseointegration, (ii) increase pull-out force of the surgical implant from the adjacent bone. In certain embodiments, the microgrooves have widths of less than or equal to 12 micrometers, depths of less than or equal to 12 micrometers, crests of less than or equal to 12 micrometers, and a periodicity of less than or equal to 24 micrometers.

An intervertebral prosthesis for insertion between adjacent vertebrae includes upper and lower prosthesis plates locatable against respective vertebrae and having opposing concavely curved recesses therein, and a core located between the plates. The core has opposed, convexly curved surfaces received in the recesses of the plates to allow the plates to slide in articulated manner over the core. The opposed surfaces of the core and the recesses of the plates have cooperating spherical curvatures. The recess of each plate surrounds a locating peg projecting centrally from the base of the recess and is bounded by an annular rim, such that the annular rims of the plates are arranged to contact one another at a predetermined limit of sliding movement of the plates over the core. The peg locates loosely in an opening located centrally in a curved surface of the core, whereby the plates can slide over the core in all directions while the peg holds the core captive.
