Surgical implant devices incorporating porous surfaces
A surgical implant device, comprising: a body portion; and one or more surfaces comprising a plurality of protruding structures; wherein the body portion and the one or more surfaces comprising the plurality of protruding structures are integrally formed. The one or more surfaces comprising the plurality of protruding structures are formed by an additive manufacturing process. The plurality of protruding structures comprise a plurality of needles. Optionally, the surgical implant device comprises one of an anterior lumbar interbody fusion cage, a posterior lumbar interbody fusion cage, a transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion cage, an oblique lumbar interbody fusion cage, a cervical cage, and a bone screw.
THREE DIMENSIONALLY PRINTED AND NANOCOATED MEDICAL IMPLANTS
Fabrication methods and structures for three dimensional medical implants are provided.
Spinal complex cage
Disclosed is a spinal complex cage, which includes a cage which is made of a polymeric material, and metal covers which are formed on upper and lower portions of the cage, respectively, in which couplers formed on the metal covers are coupled to coupling grooves formed in the cage, such that the metal covers are detachably coupled to the upper and lower portions of the cage. Accordingly, because the cage and the metal cover are detachably coupled to each other, the manufacturing method is simple, and the metal cover is easily coupled to or separated from the cage, such that the spinal complex cage may be variously and quickly applied even during the surgery in accordance with shapes or intervals between the vertebral bodies, and as a result, a spinal fusion rate is excellent, and the accurate and precise surgical operation is enabled.
MEDICAL USE HONEYCOMB STRUCTURE
A medical use honeycomb structure having a plurality of through-holes extending in one direction, wherein an outer peripheral section of the medical use honeycomb structure has a through-hole groove formed by incomplete side walls of the through-hole, and a through-hole inlet adjacent to the through-hole groove.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FITTING A SHOULDER PROSTHESIS
Method and set of surgical instruments for fitting a shoulder prosthesis, and the shoulder prosthesis. The proposed method seeks to interpose a bone graft between the previously prepared glenoid surface (G) of a scapula (S) of a patient's shoulder and the face of a glenoid prosthetic component opposite the articular surface. The set of instruments permit the bone graft to be taken from the upper epiphysis of the humerus (H), either in situ or ex vivo.
VERTEBRAL SYSTEM, IMPLANT AND INSERTS FOR VERTEBRAL SYSTEM
The present invention relates to a vertebral system comprising a vertebral implant (2) and a plurality of inserts, said implant being designed to be implanted in a vertebral segment composed of at least two vertebrae and including a body (20) the walls whereof delimit a cavity (23) leading to the outside of the body (20) through at least one opening in at least one of said walls, at least one passage (21) passing through the implant (2) from the to periphery to an upper or lower surface to receive a bone-anchoring device (1) capable of anchoring the implant (2) in at least one of said vertebrae, the system being characterized in that it includes at least two inserts selected from among the following inserts: at least one graft insert (3, 3A, 3B, 4, 5A, 5B, 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D, 202, 250) capable of being colonized by bone tissue and/or receiving at least one bone tissue graft and/or at least one substitute:
and/or at least one bone-anchoring insert (210) comprising said passage (21) capable of receiving said bone-anchoring device (1).
Method and apparatus for fitting a shoulder prosthesis
Method and set of surgical instruments for fitting a shoulder prosthesis, and the shoulder prosthesis. The proposed method seeks to interpose a bone graft between the previously prepared glenoid surface (G) of a scapula (S) of a patient's shoulder and the face of a glenoid prosthetic component opposite the articular surface. The set of instruments permit the bone graft to be taken from the upper epiphysis of the humerus (H), either in situ or ex vivo.
Vertebral system, implant and inserts for vertebral system
The present invention relates to a vertebral system comprising a vertebral implant (2) and a plurality of inserts, said implant being designed to be implanted in a vertebral segment composed of at least two vertebrae and including a body (20) the walls whereof delimit a cavity (23) leading to the outside of the body (20) through at least one opening in at least one of said walls, at least one passage (21) passing through the implant (2) from the periphery to an upper or lower surface to receive a bone-anchoring device (1) capable of anchoring the implant (2) in at least one of said vertebrae, the system being characterized in that it includes at least two inserts selected from among the following inserts: at least one graft insert (3, 3A, 3B, 4, 5A, 5B, 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D, 202, 250) capable of being colonized by bone tissue and/or receiving at least one bone tissue graft and/or at least one substitute; and/or at least one bone-anchoring insert (210) comprising said passage (21) capable of receiving said bone-anchoring device (1).
IMPLANT FOR BONE AND CARTILAGE RECONSTRUCTION
The aim of the invention is to restore the mobility of an articular end (2) of a bone (3) of a patient by means of a reconstruction implant. This implant (1), which permits reconstruction both of bone and of cartilage, comprises a grated framework (10) and a sheet (20) made of a biological tissue material, this sheet firmly covering one face (11) of the framework, while the opposite face (12) is designed to be pressed rigidly against, and firmly joined to, the end of the bone.
THREADED COMPOSITE INTERBODY DEVICE AND ASSOCIATED MANUFACTURING METHOD
A composite threaded interbody device includes (a) an outer surface that is cylindrical or conical, (b) a plastic core having two outer sections, each of the outer sections forming a respective portion of the outer surface and spanning a respective azimuthal range in an azimuthal dimension relative to a longitudinal axis of the outer surface, the outer sections being separated from each other in the azimuthal dimension by two recessed sections that are recessed from the outer surface, and (c) two threaded endplates coupled to the two recessed sections and spanning gaps between the outer sections, to complete the outer surface.
