INJECTION MOLDED PROSTHETIC COMPONENT WITH PLANARIZED BONE-CONTACTING SURFACES
A method for manufacturing a prosthetic component include injection molding a prosthetic component with a polymeric material. The prosthetic component includes a final surface positioned on one side and multiple coring features positioned on an opposite side. The coring features may include multiple ribs and slots. The method further includes machining the prosthetic component to remove the coring features and form a final surface on the opposite side. The prosthetic component may be a femoral component for a prosthetic knee joint.
INTERSOMATIC CAGE FOR VERTEBRAL STABILIZATION
Intersomatic cage for vertebral stabilization, including a generally prismatic body consisting of surface receptacles containing slow prolonged release substances selected from the classes of anti-inflammatory, anti-infection and bone regrowth promoter drugs. The receptacles are in the form of gratings of grooves.
INTERSOMATIC CAGE FOR VERTEBRAL STABILIZATION
Intersomatic cage for vertebral stabilization, including a generally prismatic body having an outer rigid framework in the form of a truss within which at least one insert incorporating slow prolonged release substances selected from the classes of anti-inflammatory, anti-infection and bone regrowth promoter drugs is housed.
Baseplate trial holding apparatus and knee joint implant surgical instrument set including the same
A baseplate trial holding apparatus which holds a baseplate trial disposed in a proximal tibia during total knee arthroplasty or revision total knee arthroplasty, and includes a keel location setting part for setting an insertion location of a keel punch, and a knee joint implant surgical instrument set including the same.
Cementless Screw-In-Peg Fixation
An orthopedic prosthesis includes a joint replacement portion that has a first side, a second side opposite the first side, and a screw hole that extends through the joint replacement portion from the first side and through the second side. The prosthesis also includes a peg that extends from the second side and that has a concave relief surface that partially defines the screw hole.
Sleeve augment device for an articulated joint
An augment device for a joint endoprosthesis, the device including a sleeve surrounding a channel extending through the sleeve. The sleeve is formed of porous material for ingrowth of bony material, the sleeve comprising an inner face and an outer face. The sleeve further comprises a wall surrounding the channel, the wall being made of solid material and forming a sandwich structure with the porous material, wherein the wall forms a bulkhead between the inner face and the outer face. Thereby, the bulkhead wall will stop inflow of any cement across the sleeve from its inner to its outer face. The porous material on the outer face will be kept free from cement and its capability to promote bone ingrowth is reliably preserved. The augment devices are preferably provided as a set having different sizes and straight or stepped bottoms for improved versatility and maximum preservation of natural bone matter.
HYBRID FIXATION FEATURES FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL POROUS STRUCTURES FOR BONE INGROWTH AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING
An orthopaedic prosthetic component comprises a fixation peg including a porous three-dimensional structure configured to permit bone in-growth. The porous three-dimensional structure has an outer surface boundary. The fixation peg includes a plate attached to the porous three-dimensional structure at the outer surface boundary. The plate includes a tapered body having an outer wall that faces away from the porous three-dimensional structure and is devoid of any openings.
Vertebral body implant
The disclosure relates to a vertebral body implant including a flexible main body and at least one pedicle screw joint. The flexible main body is an integrally formed single piece having at least one joint-accommodating hole and at least one opening connected to the at least one joint-accommodating hole. The pedicle screw joint is an integrally formed single piece movably accommodated in the at least one joint-accommodating hole.
KNEE REPLACEMENT IMPLANT HAVING STACKABLE SPACERS
A knee replacement prosthesis includes a distal femoral implant, including a femoral head portion, including an outer arcuate surface, and interior posterior surface, an interior distal surface disposed at a first angle with respect to the interior posterior surface, and a first interior intermediate surface joining the interior posterior surface and the interior distal surface and being disposed at a second angle with respect to the interior posterior surface and at a third angle with respect to the interior distal surface. The distal femoral implant includes stackable femoral spacers secured to at least one of the interior posterior surface and the interior distal surface, thereby adjusting an aggregate spacing between the interior posterior surface and/or the interior distal surface and a resected surface of a distal femur of the patient. A tibial implant is also provided. Related methods of use of either implant or both are also provided.

Bone implants, including methods of use and assembly. The bone implants, which are optionally composite implants, generally include a distal anchoring region and a growth region that is proximal to the distal anchoring region. The distal anchoring region can have one or more distal surface features that adapt the distal anchoring region for anchoring into iliac bone. The growth region can have one or more growth features that adapt the growth region to facilitate at least one of bony on-growth, in-growth, or through-growth. The implants may be positioned along a posterior sacral alar-iliac (“SAT”) trajectory. The implants may be coupled to one or more bone stabilizing constructs, such as rod elements thereof.
