Arcuate orthopedic distractor devices, systems, and methods for treating mid-foot disorders
Devices, systems and methods for surgical treatment of mid-foot disorders such as osteoarthritis, spacing disorders, or alignment disorders, including mid-foot arthroplasty devices and systems for the 2.sup.nd and 3.sup.rd tarsometatarsal (TMT) joint, implants for post-osteotomy spacing and realignment, arthroplasty articular implants, dowel grafts for TMT arthrodesis or fusion, dowel grafts for navicular cuneiform (NC) arthrodesis, dowel grafts for intercuneiform arthrodesis, and/or locking dowels for joint fusion.
CASE-LIKE DEVICE AND PROSTHETIC COMPONENT EQUIPPED WITH SUCH DEVICE
Prosthetic component provided with a stem, adapted to be implanted in use at a bone of a patient, such as for example a tibial and/or femoral component of a knee prosthesis or a femoral component of a hip prosthesis or a humeral component of a shoulder prosthesis, or a component of an elbow prosthesis, including a device adapted to externally cover and/or to house at its interior at least the stem of the prosthetic component, wherein the device is in use placed between the prosthetic component and the bone of the patient, suitable to stably constrain in use the prosthetic component to the bone of the patient and to prevent the direct contact between prosthetic component and bone of the patient.
GLENOID IMPLANTS WITH HYBRID FIXATION
Disclosed are embodiments of anatomic glenoid implants that incorporate hybrid fixation.
EXPANDABLE FUSION DEVICE AND METHOD OF INSTALLATION THEREOF
The present invention provides an expandable fusion device capable of being installed inside an intervertebral disc space to maintain normal disc spacing and restore spinal stability, thereby facilitating an intervertebral fusion. In one embodiment, the fusion device includes a body portion, a first endplate, and a second endplate, the first and second endplates capable of being moved in a direction away from the body portion into an expanded configuration or capable of being moved towards the body portion into an unexpanded configuration. The fusion device is capable of being deployed and installed in both configurations.
IMPLANT OSSEUX EXPANSIBLE DE CHIRURGIE ORTHOPÉDIQUE HUMAINE, SYSTÈME ORTHOPÉDIQUE ET PROCÉDÉ DE FABRICATION DE L'IMPLANT
An expandable bone implant for human orthopaedic surgery for restoring the volume and/or geometry of a bone, to an orthopaedic system and to a method for manufacturing the implant which includes a hollow body formed by a sheet made of a biocompatible metal alloy, closed on itself in a sealed manner, between proximal and distal ends, having, in the folded configuration, a plurality of pairs of folds, each of the pairs having an antiform fold, referred to as convex, and possible persistence of a synform fold, referred to as concave, the folds lying on top of each other in the folded configuration so that the surfaces present between each of the convex and concave folds are rolled around the longitudinal axis, the sheet being plastically deformable to allow expansion of the implant from the folded configuration to the deployed configuration, when a fluid is injected into the implant.
