A prosthetic implant is disclosed comprising: a first component comprising a first inner surface and a first outer surface, a second component comprising a second outer surface adapted to contact and engage with the first inner surface, the second component further comprising a second inner surface, a third component comprising a third outer surface adapted to contact and engage with the second inner surface, the third component further comprising a third inner surface, and a fourth component comprising a fourth outer surface adapted to contact and engage with the third inner surface; wherein the second component is rotatable relative to the first component about a first axis, the third component is rotatable relative to the second component about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis, and the fourth component is rotatable relative to the third component about a third axis perpendicular to the first axis and second axis; the first inner surface and the second outer surface are each formed with a first partial cylindrical shape, the first inner surface and the second outer surface each comprise a flat surface normal to the first axis and are engageable with one another such that the second component is rotatable relative to the first component about the first axis only, the second inner surface and the third outer surface are each formed with a second partial cylindrical shape, the second inner surface and the third outer surface each comprise a flat surface normal to the second axis and are engageable with one another such that the third component is rotatable relative to the second component about the second axis only, and the third inner surface and the fourth outer surface are each formed with a third partial cylindrical shape, the third inner surface and the fourth outer surface each comprise a flat surface normal to the third axis and are engageable with one another such that the fourth component is rotatable relative to the third component about the third axis only.

An acetabular hip implant and method includes an acetabular shell component having a first feature and a first insert having a second feature that cooperates with the first feature of the acetabular shell component and further includes a third feature. The implant further includes a second insert having a fourth feature that cooperates with the third feature of the first insert and further includes a fifth feature. A femoral head component includes a sixth feature that cooperates with the fifth feature. Interaction between the first and second features, between the third and fourth features, and between the fifth and sixth features mechanically constrains the acetabular hip implant to prevent dislocation of the femoral head during rotation.

Systems, devices, and methods are provided for orthopedic implants. The implants may include a base member, such as an acetabular shell or an augment, that is configured to couple with an augment, flange cup, mounting member, or any other suitable orthopedic attachment. Any of the implantable components may be include one or more porous surfaces. The porous surface may be textured by protrusions that connect to and extend from the surface. The sizes and concentration of the protrusions may be varied for specific applications to accommodate different implants and patient anatomies. A porous implant may also include one or more internal or external solid portions that strengthen the implant.

The implants may include a base member, such as an acetabular shell or an augment, that is configured to couple with an augment, flange cup, mounting member, or any other suitable orthopedic attachment. An implant may include a base member that has at least two projections with a gap between the projections. The gap between the projections allows the implant to fee implanted around another implanted component, such as around a bone screw of an acetabular shell. The implant may include a fixation element, such as a screw or a cement trough, on one or more projections to couple the implant to an implanted acetabular shell. The implant may also include timing marks to facilitate alignment with corresponding marks on another implanted component.

A spinal interbody device (IBD) includes a solid wall that at least partially defines a boundary of the IBD and a porous body connected to the solid wall. The porous body includes a plurality of sections that form at least a portion of both a superior and inferior bone interface side of the IBD. Each section of the porous body has a different porosity than an adjacent section such that the porosities increase toward a center of the IBD.

The present invention is related to a prosthesis, in particular a revision prosthesis, for repositioning and fixating acetabulum fractures. The prosthesis comprises a cup member (1), a hook member (2) and a hook retraction member (3). The cup member is formed and configured to be fixable into an acetabular cup. The hook member is formed and configured to be fixable onto an edge of the acetabular cup. The cup member and the hook member are formed and configured to be retractable into one another. The hook retraction member comprises at least one cable arranged and configured for retracting the hook member into the cup member.

An apparatus and method for hardware protection of a virtual machine monitor (VMM) runtime integrity watcher is described. A set of one or more hardware range registers that protect a contiguous memory space that is to store the VMM runtime integrity watcher. The set of hardware range registers are to protect the VMM runtime integrity watcher from being modified when loaded into the contiguous memory space. The VMM runtime integrity watcher, when executed, performs an integrity check on a VMM during runtime of the VMM.

A method of assembling a mobile bearing acetabular component of a prosthetic hip joint is disclosed. The method includes mounting an acetabular cup insert to an acetabular cup. The method includes concurrently repositioning the acetabular cup insert deeper into an interior of the acetabular cup and repositioning the acetabular cup insert outside of an outline of the acetabular cup.
