The invention relates to an assembled vertebral body used in a cervical reconstruction operation, comprising: an upper connecting element, an artificial vertebral body element and a lower connecting element, wherein the upper connecting element is disposed at an upper part of the artificial vertebral body element, the lower connecting element is disposed at an lower part of the artificial vertebral body element, and wherein the artificial vertebral body element is assembled with the upper connecting element and the lower connecting element, respectively. The invention has the advantages that the artificial vertebral body element is customized in accordance with the characteristics of patients and printed in 3D, and the length of the artificial vertebral body element can be precisely adjusted to adapt to the patient. Since the lower connecting element is standard part, the upper connecting element is standard part or non-standard part, and the artificial vertebral body element is non-standard part, in comparison to the traditional 3D printing which needs to be printed integrally, the adjustable assembled artificial vertebral body can reduce 3D printing materials and reduce the cost of 3D printing, thus reducing medical costs for the patient. The shape of the nested parts of the elements is a non-circular shape, which can resist rotation, so that no relative movement occurs among the three elements of the artificial vertebral body.

A spinal implant includes a first member having a wall that defines an axial cavity. A second member extends between a first end and a second end and defines a longitudinal axis. The second member is configured for disposal with the axial cavity and translation relative to the first member. A third member has an outer surface engageable with tissue and an inner surface disposed to dynamically engage the first end in response to the engagement of the outer surface with the tissue. Systems and methods are disclosed.

A prosthetic system that includes a prosthetic implant and a support structure secured to an inner surface of a cavity of a bone is disclosed. The support structure defines a channel that extends through the length of the support structure. The prosthetic implant is received in the channel, and a portion of the prosthetic implant is secured to an inner surface of the support structure by an adhesive. The support structure may comprise a pair of partially hemispherical components arranged in spaced apart relationship thereby defining the channel between the pair of components.

A method of implanting a prosthetic stemless shoulder implant may include making an incision into a patient's shoulder area of a patient and passing a cutting instrument through a rotator cuff interval of the patient. A central portion of the native humeral head may be resected and removed so that a central void remains. The same or another cutting instrument may be inserted through the rotator cuff interval and into the central void. Medial and lateral portions of the native humeral head adjacent the central void may be resected and removed. A base of a prosthesis may be implanted into a proximal portion of the humerus after passing the base through the rotator cuff interval, and two humeral head portions may be inserted through the rotator cuff interval and coupled to the base and to one another.

An orthopaedic surgical instrument system includes a first broach including a first end configured to be separately secured to a handle and a tapered body having a plurality of cutting teeth defined therein, and a second broach including a first end configured to be separately secured to the handle in place of the first broach, a first tapered body extending distally from a second end positioned opposite the first end, and a second tapered body extending distally from the first tapered body. The tapered body of the first broach and the first tapered body of the second broach have a first outer geometry and the second tapered body has a second outer geometry different from the first outer geometry.

Examples of an implantable conduit that is tubular in shape and has an inner lumen and an outer surface, the implantable conduit are disclosed. The implantable conduit includes a plurality of overlap elements including a first overlap element and a second overlap element positioned adjacent the first overlap element to define an adjacent pair of the plurality of overlap elements. The first overlap element overlaps onto the second overlap element to define an overlapping portion between an inward facing surface of the first overlap element and an outward facing surface of the second overlap element. The implantable conduit also includes a plurality of attachment features coupling the first overlap element to the second overlap element. The inward facing surface of the first overlap element and the outward facing surface of the second overlap element are separable at the overlapping portion by an external force to open an aperture in the overlapping portion between at least two of the plurality of attachment features such that the aperture defines a path between the inner lumen and outer surface of the implantable conduit. The path is sealed absent the external force.

The present disclosure relates to a system and method for repairing an articular surface. A guide pin may be secured to an articular surface of a glenoid, wherein the guide pin defines a working axis and the working axis is positioned at an angle relative to the articular surface, wherein angle is less than or equal to 90 degrees. An excision device may be advanced over the guide pin, wherein the excision device includes a cannulated shaft and at least one cutter, wherein the at least one cutter is generally aligned in a single plane. A generally hemi-spherical excision site may be formed with the excision device within the articular surface of the glenoid.

An implant arranged for integration into a skeletal bone of a patient, comprising: a body having at least one end, the body being arranged to substantially mimic a portion of a skeletal bone; wherein the at least one end includes an enlarged portion arranged to, in use, prevent migration of the implant into the flesh of a patient.
