The improved glenoid fossa prosthesis for repair of a scapular deficient patient includes a base with a fixed flange, and a separable flange. A conical taper on the base and a complimentary locator edge positively orient the separable flange when joined with the base for affixation by screw. A plurality of flange fixation screws penetrates the scapular tissue between the flanges for affixation of the flanges thereto. The flange thickness is variable to approximate the topography of the scapular tissue in the affixation area to minimize tissue trimming during fitment. A cutting mask attaches to the deficient scapula in the glenoid fossa area to guide the physician in trimming scapular tissue for fitment. A cortical screw further fixates the base to the scapular tissue. A second conical taper on the base serves as a mount for a glenoid sphere (reverse shoulder) or socket (standard shoulder) repair configuration.

A system includes a constrained acetabular insert, a dual mobility liner, and a femoral head. The constrained acetabular insert has its perimeter extending beyond hemisphere and the dual mobility liner has its perimeter extending beyond hemisphere and configured to tilt and rotate within the constrained acetabular insert. The femoral head is configured to tilt and rotate within the dual mobility liner. The constrained acetabular insert may include a plurality of tabs and the dual mobility liner may include screw threads for receiving the plurality of tabs.

In some embodiments, a revision implant includes a body extending between a first planar surface and a second planar surface and a head extending from the first planar surface of the body. The head is configured to couple the revision implant to at least one additional component of a multi-component prosthesis. At least one coupling mechanism is configured to couple the body to a first bone.

Systems and methods for providing deeper knee flexion capabilities. In some instances, such systems and methods include a knee prosthesis that includes a femoral component for replacing at least a portion of a distal end of a femur. In some cases, the femoral component has a posterior condyle that is configured to articulate against a tibial articular surface. In such cases, an articular surface at a proximal portion of the posterior condyle is sized and shaped to extend at least half of an antero-posterior distance between a most posterior portion of the posterior condyle and a plane that is a continuation of a distal one fourth to one third of a posterior cortex of a femoral shaft of the femur. Other implementations are also discussed.

This invention improves upon prior art total disc replacements (TDRs) by more closely replicating the kinematics of a natural disc. The preferred embodiments feature two or more fixed centers of rotation (CORs) and an optional variable COR (VCOR) as the artificial disk replacement (ADR) translates from a fixed posterior COR that lies posterior to the COR of the TDR to facilitate normal disc motion. The use of two or more CORs allows more flexion and more extension than permitted by the facet joints and the artificial facet (AF). AF joint-like components may also be incorporated into the design to restrict excessive translation, rotation, and/or lateral bending.

This invention is directed to orthopedic implants and systems. The invention also relates to methods of implant design, manufacture, modeling and implantation as well as to surgical tools and kits used therewith. The implants are designed by analyzing the articular surface to be corrected and creating a device with an anatomic or near anatomic fit; or selecting a pre-designed implant having characteristics that give the implant the best fit to the existing defect.

A modular, customizable system that provides components for assembling an implantable device is provided. The system allows the user to assemble an implantable spine stabilization device that is flexible and allows dynamic stabilization. The same system also provides components for assembling a rigid or non-flexible fusion-enabling spine stabilization device. The components of the system are easily interchangeable, allowing the user the ability to customize the assembled device for a true fit with the patient, as well as allow an easy conversion of the dynamic device into a fusion-enabling device. Associated insertion instruments and methods of use are also disclosed.

A femoral component having a modular stem is discussed. While the femoral component can have any suitable characteristic, in some cases, it includes an external articular surface and an internal surface. While the stem can have any characteristic, in some cases, it includes a proximal end and a distal end. Although the femoral component and stem can attach to a femur in any suitable manner, in some cases, the stem is inserted into the femur's intramedullary canal. In some cases, the femoral component is then: slid onto a resectioned portion of the femur at an angle between 20 and 80 degrees with respect to a longitudinal axis of the femur's distal portion, by rolling the femoral component onto the resectioned portion, or in any other suitable manner. In some cases, the distal end of the stem is then permanently fixed to the femoral component's internal surface. Other implementations are described.

A glenosphere includes a body, a first surface, and a cavity defined with the body. The body defines a center and an engagement axis, the engagement axis spaced by an offset from the center. The first surface includes a first rim positioned radially outward from a second rim, a base surface portion, and a hood surface portion extending from the base surface portion and oriented at an obtuse angle relative to the base surface portion. The body defines a hood portion extending from the hood surface portion to a plane including the base surface portion. The cavity has a perimeter defined by the second rim, and includes a first cavity portion configured to receive an attachment structure attachable to a bone, and a second cavity portion configured to engage an engagement member of the attachment structure and oriented along the engagement axis.

Disclosed is an implantable end pad. The end pad includes a bone attachment portion having a recess configured to receive an amputated bone of a residual limb. The end pad further includes an end portion having a contour corresponding to at least a portion of a socket of an artificial limb such that the end pad can be at least partially received in the socket of the residual limb. Further disclosed is a method wherein the end pad is implanted into a residual limb by way of a surgical procedure.
