SHOULDER PROSTHESIS COMPONENTS AND ASSEMBLIES
Various embodiments disclosed herein relate to stemmed and stemless humeral anchors for use in shoulder arthroplasty procedures. For example, the humeral anchor can include a first end, a second end, and an interior surface extending between the first end and the second end. The interior surface can be disposed about a recess disposed between the first end and the second end. The recess can be configured to secure a coupling of a shoulder articular body directly to the interior surface.
Patient-specific glenoid guides
A glenoid guide has an upper surface and a lower surface, wherein the lower surface is a patient-specific surface configured as a negative surface of a glenoid face based on a three-dimensional image of a shoulder joint of a patient reconstructed preoperatively from image scans of the shoulder joint of the patient. The glenoid guide includes an anatomic tubular drill guide extending from the upper surface along an anatomic alignment axis configured preoperatively with a patient-specific orientation and insertion location for guiding a glenoid implant into the glenoid face for anatomic shoulder arthroplasty. The glenoid guide includes a reverse tubular drill guide extending from the upper surface along a reverse alignment axis configured preoperatively with a patient-specific orientation and insertion location for guiding a glenoid baseplate into the glenoid face for reverse shoulder arthroplasty.
UNICOMPARTMENTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY
A unicompartmental orthopedic knee implant may include a tibial tray having a body including a joint-facing side, a bone-facing side opposite the joint-facing side, and a channel provided in the bone-facing side. The bone-facing side includes a bottom surface and a bone-contacting layer applied to the bottom surface. The bone-contacting layer configured to contact a tibia. The channel extends through the bone-contacting layer. The tibial tray may also include a protrusion for insertion into a corresponding opening in the tibia, the protrusion extending from the bottom surface at a non-zero angle. The implant may also include a fixation element coupled to the bone-facing side of the body. The fixation element may include a rail for insertion into the channel of the body, a support extending from the rail, and a bone engagement feature connected to the support, the bone engagement feature including an edge operable to penetrate the tibia.
REVERSE SHOULDER ORTHOPAEDIC IMPLANT HAVING AN ELLIPTICAL GLENOSPHERE COMPONENT
A reverse shoulder orthopaedic implant includes a glenosphere component having a lateral bearing surface configured to articulate with a humeral cup of a humeral prosthesis. A metaglene component includes a platform configured to receive glenosphere component.
PATIENT-MATCHED ORTHOPEDIC IMPLANT
An example system for designing a patient matched implant for an orthopedic joint repair surgical procedure includes a memory configured to store a model of a bone of a patient; and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry may be configured to: obtain the model of the bone of the patient; obtain a template model of an implant; determine a shape of a surface of the implant; determine a volume between the shape of the surface of the implant and a surface of the bone defined by the model of the bone; generate, based on the determined volume and the template model, a patient matched implant model; and output a file representing the patient matched implant model.
Stemless prosthesis anchor components and kits
A prosthesis assembly is provided that includes a base member that has a helical structure and a cylindrical member opposite the helical structure. The cylindrical member is configured for direct connection with a reverse insert of a reverse shoulder assembly. The cylindrical member is configured for direct connection with a reverse insert spacer in some embodiments. The reverse insert can be inserted into a space defined at least in part by a wall of the cylindrical member and an inferior wall of the of the base member. The helical structure extends between a first end and a second end. The base member also can include one or more pathways. The pathway(s) 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 can include a locking device that has a support member and an arm 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.
REVERSE SHOULDER PROSTHESIS AND RELATED METHODS
Disclosed is a prosthetic joint assembly for joining a humerus bone to a scapula bone, comprising a humeral component adapted for engagement with said humerus bone and a concave dish; a scapular component adapted for engagement with said scapula bone and a convex surface adapted to engage said concave dish; wherein when said components are implanted and engaged in a rest position said prosthetic center of rotation is displaced in a direction that is inferior and medial relative to a natural center of rotation and said humerus bone is displaced in a direction that is inferior relative to said natural center of rotation.
SHOULDER ARTHROPLASTY SYSTEM
An implant system for total shoulder arthroplasties, hemi shoulder arthroplasties, and “reverse” total shoulder arthroplasties including a humeral stem having an enlarged head portion with interfaces adapted to removably receive various modular interchangeable components, such as articulating liners, spacers, and adapter inserts. The humeral stem functions as a universal platform that may be used in either conventional or “reverse” total shoulder arthroplasties, as well as hemi shoulder arthroplasties, and may remain implanted in place during a revision in which the implant system is converted between the foregoing configurations, for example.
