An implant, comprising a body having a superior surface and an inferior surface, a superior-inferior axis, and a lateral axis. The implant further includes a first blade having a first retracted position in the body and a first extended position where the first blade extends outwardly from the body. In addition, the implant may include a blade actuating member that can translate through the body in directions parallel to the lateral axis. When the blade actuating member is moved in a first direction along the first axis, the first blade moves towards the first extended position. When the blade actuating member is moved in a second direction opposite the first direction, the first blade moves towards the first retracted position. Further, in the first extended position, the first blade extends from the superior surface at a first non-zero angle with respect to the superior-inferior axis.

This invention is directed to an assembled implant comprising two or more portions of bone that are held together in appropriate juxtaposition with one or more biocompatible pins to form a graft unit. Preferably, the pins are cortical bone pins. Typically, the cortical pins are press-fitted into appropriately sized holes in the bone portions to achieve an interference fit. The bone portions are allograft or xenograft.

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.

A prosthetic shoulder implant system includes a prosthetic humeral implant and a version device. The humeral implant includes a catch member aperture and a first locking pin aperture. The version device includes a rotatable member with a body and a flexure member, and a plate with a catch member and a projection contacting the flexure member. A first locking pin extends from the version device and is adapted to mate with the first locking pin aperture. In an unlocked condition of the system, the rotatable member has a first rotated position in which the flexure member is in an uncompressed state and the plate is in a first position, and in a locked condition of the system, the rotatable member has a second rotated position in which the flexure member is in a compressed state and the plate is in a second position proximal of the first position.

An intervertebral implant can include a core and a flexible end plate. The core can have a core body that is elongate along a first direction and defines first and second outer surfaces. The flexible end plate can define an inner surface and an opposed bone facing surface that is configured to abut a vertebral body. The flexible end plate can be coupled to the core such that at least a portion of the inner surface faces the first outer surface and is spaced from the first outer surface. The flexible end plate is configured to resiliently flex toward a compressed configuration such that as the flexible end plate flexes toward the compressed configuration, a first end moves relative to the core along the first direction and the portion of the inner surface moves toward the first outer surface.

A cage for implanting in bone includes a main body having a first surface that contacts a first bone surface, a second surface that contacts a second bone surface, a peripheral wall extending between the first and second surfaces, and a front wall portion configured to engage and fix a plating device on the main body.

A knee trial which is coupled to identify the mobility of an implant before the implant is implanted by total knee arthroplasty, and more particularly, a detachable knee trial which includes a plate trial, an insert trial, and an adapter for easy attachment and detachment of the two trials, wherein the adapter includes an elastic member on one side thereof to firmly couple the two trials by pressing the plate trial and the insert trial with opposite ends of the elastic member and to alleviate the burdens of an operator and a patient by allowing the adapter to be attached and detached even only with a simple operation of pressing the adapter and compressing the elastic member by a hand and promptly and precisely performing an operation of selecting an implant of a suitable size while applying various trials in the total knee arthroplasty process and shortening surgery time, alleviating the burdens of a surgeon and a patient, and wherein one side of the adapter is formed of plastic, making it possible to couple the plate trial and the plate implant without leaving a flaw and the like in the plate trial and the plate implant.

A placeholder for vertebrae or vertebral discs includes a tubular body, which along its jacket surface has a plurality of breakthroughs or openings for over-growth with adjacent tissue. The placeholder includes at least a second tubular body provided with a plurality of breakthroughs and openings at least partially inside the first tubular body. The first and second tubular bodies can have different cross-sectional shapes, can be are arranged inside one another by press fit or force fit or can be connected to each other via connecting pins and arranged side by side to one another in the first body.

Exemplary assemblies, apparatuses, systems, methods, and kits are provided herein related to modular tibial inserts. One such assembly can comprise a modular tibial insert assembly having: a modular medial insert component, the modular medial insert component having a medial component proximal side proximally disposed from a medial component distal base side, wherein a medial component body extends between the medial component proximal side and the medial component distal base side; a modular lateral insert component, the modular lateral insert component having a lateral component proximal side proximally disposed from a lateral component distal base side, wherein a lateral component body extends between the lateral component proximal side and the lateral component distal base side; wherein the modular tibial insert assembly has an assembled configuration and a disassembled configuration, and wherein the modular medial insert component is configured to fixedly engage the modular lateral insert component in the assembled configuration.

A baseplate trial holding apparatus which holds a baseplate trial disposed in a proximal tibia during total knee arthroplasty or revision total knee arthroplasty, and includes a keel location setting part for setting an insertion location of a keel punch, and a knee joint implant surgical instrument set including the same.
