Described is a femoral component of a prosthetic hip implant. The femoral component can include: a neck portion; and a stem portion including a proximal end and a distal end. The neck portion extends from the proximal end, and the stem portion comprises a first solid portion and at least one additional portion including at least one of a hollow portion, a porous portion, and a second solid portion comprised of a different solid material from a solid material of the first solid portion. The first solid portion and the at least one additional portion are in a predetermined configuration. The femoral component comprises a unitary component that is formed by additive manufacturing of the femoral component from a 3D model of the femoral component.

A device for insertion into a spinal (intervertebral or intravertebral) space is expandable and contractable. The device includes a body assembly, a top member configured to fit within a gap in the body assembly, a drive gear disposed within the body assembly at a distal end of the body assembly, a proximal gear assembly, and a distal gear assembly. The drive gear includes a receiver accessible from outside the body assembly and configured to be rotated in order to rotate the drive gear. Each gear assembly is attached to the top member. The distal gear assembly engages the drive gear. Rotation of the drive gear in a first direction causes the gear assemblies to translate the top member away from the body assembly, and rotation of the drive gear in a second direction causes the gear assemblies to translate the top member towards the body assembly.

An expandable spinal fusion implant including a housing, upper and lower endplates, a wedge positioned within the housing and between the upper and lower endplates and a drive mechanism to urge the wedge distally between the upper and lower endplates to increase the separation between the endplates and expand the overall height of the distal end of the implant.

An intervertebral cage for spinal implants is provided. The intervertebral cage includes a front portion, a right lateral portion, a left lateral portion, a rear portion, a top portion and a bottom portion. A vertical dimension of the front portion is larger than a vertical dimension of the rear portion. A vertical dimension of the right portion is larger than a vertical dimension of the left portion. A vertical dimension of a connection between the left and rear portions is smaller than a vertical dimension of a connection between the right and front portions.

A prosthetic glenoid implant may include a polymer bearing component, a metal base component, and a plurality of fixation members. The bearing component may have a first surface adapted to articulate with a humeral head, and an opposing second surface including a first mating feature. The base component may have a first surface and a bone-contacting surface, the first surface having a second mating feature adapted to engage the first mating feature, the bone-contacting surface adapted to contact the native glenoid. The base component may define a plurality of apertures. The fixation members may each have a head and a threaded shaft adapted to pass through a corresponding one of the plurality of apertures, the head of each fixation member adapted to be positioned within a recess defined between the base component and the bearing component in an assembled condition of the prosthetic glenoid implant.

The invention concerns an arthrodesis implant (1) allowing promoting the bone fusion of two bones, said implant (1) comprising: a rigid and non-deformable anchoring body (4), designed to ensure the anchoring of the implant (1) in a first bone (2), a deformable portion (5) designed to ensure the anchoring of the implant (1) in a second bone, said deformable portion (5) comprising at least two anchoring arms (9, 10) which protrude beyond the anchoring body (4) from the base end (7) of the latter, the anchoring arms (9, 10) being separated from each other by a free space (E) so as to be able to be brought closer to each other by deformation of said anchoring arms under the action of the second bone. and being characterized in that at least one of the anchoring arms (9, 10) is provided with a longitudinal reinforcing fin protruding beyond the anchoring arm (9, 10) from a lateral side (20) of the latter. Osteosynthesis surgical implants.

The present invention relates generally to medical devices, systems, and methods for use in surgery. In particular, the disclosed system and methods relate to an intervertebral spinal implant sized and dimensioned for the lumbar spine implantable via a posterior approach. The system includes an implant, instruments for delivering the implant.

An expandable implant includes a top support assembly defining an upper surface configured to engage a first portion of vertebral bone; a bottom support assembly defining a lower surface configured to engage a second portion of vertebral bone; and a control assembly coupled to the top support assembly and the bottom support assembly and configured to control relative movement between the top support assembly and the bottom support assembly between a collapsed position and an expanded position. In the collapsed position, the upper surface is generally parallel to the lower surface, and in the expanded position, a portion of the upper surface extends at an acute angle relative to a portion of the lower surface.

A spinal interbody fusion device for use in a plurality of surgical approaches includes a cage, a top end, a bottom end, and at least a first side representing the width of the cage and at least a second side representing a length of the cage. The cage includes fixation holes and inserter holes, with each fixation hole being configured for accepting a screw or anchor and each inserter hole being accessible for one or more surgical approaches for performing a spinal fusion. Also included are methods for selecting a size of an intervertebral implant and methods of surgically approaching a spine of a patient for spinal surgical procedures.

A geared cam expandable spinal implant. Rotational motion of a rotating portion is translated into linear motion of a yoke, which moves geared cams at the distal end of the implant to mate with, and walk along, teeth of corresponding racks. The walking of the gear cam teeth along the rack teeth creates a regular rate of implant expansion, reduces initial excessive expansion force applied to the implant, and provides fine adjustment of the expansion rate and force.
