Spinal Fusion Apparatus
20210205095 · 2021-07-08 ·

An interbody spinal fusion cage for posterior interbody fusion procedures includes a superior member and an inferior member connected to each other via a joint. The joint allows the interbody spinal fusion cage to achieve lordosis even if implanted non-orthogonal to the sagittal plane. For example, the joint can be a hinge oriented non-normal to a longitudinal axis of the interbody spinal fusion cage, a polyaxial ball joint, and/or a universal joint. Complementary locking mechanisms, such as locking teeth or a ratchet-and-pawl arrangement, can be provided near the posterior ends of the superior and inferior members in order to prohibit the posterior ends of the superior and inferior members from separating from each other in situ. Bone holes can be provided in the superior and inferior members.

ACETABULAR CUP SYSTEM
20210236290 · 2021-08-05 ·

An acetabular cup assembly for use with liners is described. The acetabular cup assembly includes a cup and a liner. The cup has an outer surface, a generally concave inner surface and a top face. The inner surface includes a cylindrical band having a plurality of inward-facing recessed scallops, a tapered wall adjacent to the band, and an inner spherical surface adjacent the tapered wall. The inner spherical surface has a substantially uniform radius of curvature. A single groove interrupts the spherical surface. The liner has a substantially convex outer surface and includes a rim and a plurality of outward-projecting scallops adjacent the rim. The scallops of the liner are configured to engage the scallops of the cup when the liner is seated in the cup. Related methods of use are also provided.

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.

Acetabular liner

An acetabular liner having a closed first end, an open second end, and a liner wall having a distal peripheral edge. The acetabular liner wall can include an interior surface, an exterior surface configured to be received within an acetabular shell, a first cutout through the liner wall, a second cutout parallel to the first cutout and through the liner wall, and a third cutout in the interior surface partially through the liner wall, the third cutout extending between the first and second cutouts, and at least one movable tab extending from the peripheral edge inwardly towards an axial center of the liner and having sidewalls defined by one of the sets of cutouts, the tab comprising at least one projection on an exterior surface of the tab configured to removably secure to a portion of an acetabular shell.

ACETABULAR CUP ASSEMBLY FOR MULTIPLE BEARING MATERIALS

A modular acetabular cup assembly for use with multiple bearing liners is disclosed. The acetabular cup assembly includes a shell having a tapered inner wall and two circumferential grooves. The shell may be used with polyethylene, ceramic, metal, and other types of liners.

MULTI-PIECE INTERVERTEBRAL IMPLANTS
20210145598 · 2021-05-20 ·

Intervertebral implants for implanting into an intervertebral space are provided. The implants can comprise one or more layers that are operably attached to one another. An implant can comprise a first layer having a first mating surface that mates with a second mating surface of a second layer. The first mating surface and the second mating surface can have features that allow them to complement each other. The implants can include one or more bore holes for receiving a fixation member. The bore holes can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal. In some cases, the bore holes will be blind bore holes.

REVERSE SHOULDER PROSTHESIS
20210137692 · 2021-05-13 ·

Implant assemblies for reverse shoulder arthroplasty are disclosed. In one embodiment, the implant assembly comprises a humeral component, an adaptor fixed to the neck of the humeral component, and a glenosphere bearing component coupled to the adaptor. The glenosphere bearing component comprises a first bearing surface that interfaces with an articulating surface of the adaptor to allow the adaptor to rotate relative to the adaptor and humeral component. The adaptor and the glenosphere bearing component form a locking mechanism that prevents the adaptor from decoupling from the glenosphere bearing component while allowing the adaptor to remain rotatable relative to the glenosphere bearing component after the implant assembly is implanted in the patient The second bearing surface is configured to interface with a glenosphere component to allow the glenosphere bearing component to articulate relative to the glenosphere component.

Standalone interbody implants

Stand-alone interbody fusion devices for engagement between adjacent vertebrae. The stand-alone interbody fusion devices may include a spacer or endplates and one or more inserts, members, or frames coupled to the spacer or endplates. The inserts, members, or frames may be configured and designed to provide the apertures which are designed to retain bone fasteners, such as screws or anchors, and secure the implant to the adjacent vertebrae.
