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 (SAI) trajectory. The implants may be coupled to one or more bone stabilizing constructs, such as rod elements thereof.

A humeral anchor assembly is provided that includes a humeral anchor and at least one screw. The humeral anchor is configured to form a part of or support a part of a shoulder prosthesis. The humeral anchor has a distal portion configured to be anchored in a proximal region of a humerus and a proximal portion. The proximal portion includes a proximal face configured to engage an articular component within a periphery thereof. The proximal portion also includes at least one aperture disposed adjacent to the periphery. The at least one screw is disposed through the at least one aperture. The screw has a first end portion engaged with the proximal portion of the anchor and a second end portion disposed in or through cortical bone of the humerus.

The present invention relates to an articular joint replacement system. The system has first and second components. Each component has a tapered head piece for covering the end of a bone and for acting as an articular surface, an integrally formed screw stem having a length sufficient to extend into the medullary canal, and inwardly angled bone grips affixed to the underside of the head piece to allow solid fixation to the bone by compression press fit. The head piece of the first component is provided with a shaped exterior surface which complements the shaped exterior surface of the head piece of the second component and which allows motion in three planes.

Provided is a bone joining device suitable for joining a first bone piece to a second bone piece. Also provided is a method of joining a first bone piece with a second bone piece in a living mammal. The method comprises inserting the above bone joining device between the first bone piece and the second bone piece.

A prosthesis assembly is provided that includes a base member (104) that has a helical structure (224) and one or more pathways. The helical structure extends between a first end and a second end. The pathway is accessible from the second end and is directed toward the first end through the helical structure. The pathway is located inward of an outer periphery of the helical structure, e.g., adjacent to an inner periphery of the helical structure. The pathway extends in a space between successive portions of the helical structure. The prosthesis assembly includes a locking device (108) that has a support member and an arm (110) I/O that projects away from the support member. The arm is configured to be disposed in the pathway when the support member is disposed adjacent to the second end of the base member. The arm is disposed through bone in the space between successive portions of the helical structure when the prosthesis assembly is implanted.

Prosthesis for a shoulder joint including a humeral component equipped with a stem, a head component and connection or articulation means of the humeral component with the head component, wherein the prosthesis according to the invention can be used both as a conventional prosthesis and as a reverse-type prosthesis.

Mandible endoprosthesis implant and mandible endoprosthesis implant system and surgical kit comprising the same, the mandible endoprosthesis implant comprising: first end second implant elements which can be coupled in a manner so as to allow a relative pivotal movement therebetween. The present disclosure further provides methods for surgically repairing a mandible.

The present invention relates to an implant, and more precisely in the preferred embodiment, a fenestrated non-distracting rod for use in association with spinal surgery. The implant is to be placed via the pre-sacral approach in an embodiment of the invention. The fenestrations incorporated within the preferred embodiment are configured to collect bone during transit through the sacrum, and then optionally configured to contact and/or deposit bone collected into the L5-S1 disc space area.
