An intervertebral spacer may include a fastener channel configured to receive a fastener, a locking member channel, and a locking member. The locking member channel may include an inner wall and one or more inner wall engagement features. The locking member may include an anti-backout member, a collet retainable within the locking member channel, and one or more collet engagement features. The locking member may be rotatable within the locking member channel between an unlocked position and a locked position. The one or more collet engagement features may engage the one or more inner wall engagement features in order to retain the locking member in either the unlocked position or the locked position, such that the anti-backout member may selectively obstruct the fastener channel and prevent the fastener from backing out of the fastener channel.

A device and methods for intervertebral spinal fusion of adjacent intervertebral bodies. An intervertebral spacer is positioned within a narrow disc space between adjacent intervertebral bodies of a patient. The spacer is arranged with upper and lower guides. The guides are adapted to simultaneously guide the deployment of upper and lower anchors of an anchoring device into their respective intervertebral bodies. The spacer is also adapted to lock the upper and lower anchors to the spacer in the deployed position.

An intervertebral spacer assembly may include a first intervertebral spacer with a superior surface configured to engage a superior vertebral body, an inferior surface configured to engage an inferior vertebral body, and a proximal surface with a first fastener channel. The assembly may further include a first fastener and a locking member with a first anti-backout member. The first intervertebral spacer or the locking member may have a locking member channel. The other may have a compressible collet insertable into the locking member channel to couple the locking member to the first intervertebral spacer such that the locking member is rotatable relative to the first intervertebral spacer between an unlocked position in which the first anti-backout member does not obstruct the first fastener channel, and a locked position in which the first anti-backout member obstructs the first fastener channel to retain the first fastener in the first fastener channel.

An expandable intervertebral cage includes vertically opposed superior and inferior plates and longitudinally opposed distal and proximal wedges disposed between the plates. The wedges define ramps that engage complimentary ramps of the superior and inferior plates to increase a vertical distance between the plates. An actuator is located between the plates, defines a central, longitudinal axis, and is coupled to the wedges such that, as the actuator rotates about the axis, at least one of the wedges moves longitudinally relative to the other, thereby increasing the vertical separation distance. At least one locking component is insertable within a receptacle at least partially defined by the proximal wedge and is configured to transition from an unlocked configuration, where the actuator is rotatable relative to the proximal wedge, to a locked configuration, where the actuator is rotationally affixed relative to the proximal wedge.

A surgical implant includes a deployable, retractable, or removable ramped nose. During insertion of the implant, the ramped nose is deployed such that the ramped nose can serve to distract a space into which the implant is inserted. At some point during or after insertion, the ramped nose can be collapsed and removed or retracted so that it does not extend beyond the space into which the implant is inserted, while the implant extends at full height throughout the space into which the implant is inserted. The implant includes an implant body having a deployable ramped nose adapted to selectively extend from the body and transition from a first height proximate the implant body to a second, shorter, height distal from the implant body. The deployable ramped nose is adapted to distract an implant site upon insertion of the implantable medical device.

The universal tibial insert includes a keyed lock plate generally symmetrical across a median plane and a frontal plane and is selectively engageable with an asymmetrical tibial base plate in a first orientation and a second orientation approximately 180° relative to the first orientation. This allows an upwardly presented articular surface to reciprocally interface with a medial condyle and a lateral condyle of a femoral component in articulatory relation therewith when the universal tibial insert is in either of the first orientation or the second orientation.

An expandable interbody fusion device and an associated instrument for inserting the device into an intervertebral disc space, expanding the device and for use in delivering graft material into the device once expanded in the disc space. The device is small enough to fit through Kambin's triangle yet is capable of expanding both in the vertical direction to accommodate spinal lordosis and in the lateral direction to provide sufficient structural support for opposing vertebral bodies laterally within the disc space. A process of forming textured top and bottom surfaces of the device by initially laser ablating each surface with a nano-second pulsed laser followed by laser ablating those surfaces with a femto-second pulsed laser.

A system for performing interbody fusion surgery including an expandable intervertebral spacer and specialized instruments for choosing the correct size of implant, implanting the device within the intervertebral space, and for delivery of bone graft or bone substitute to the interior of the implant.

A reverse shoulder orthopaedic implant includes a glenosphere component having a lateral bearing surface configured to articulate with a humeral cup of a humeral prosthesis. A metaglene component includes a platform configured to receive glenosphere component.

Proposed is a bearing component for an artificial knee joint, the bearing component including a body part, whose plane shape is oval, having an indentation portion formed by depressing a posterior center to a predetermined depth toward a center of the body part, a protruding portion protruding from an upper surface of the body part and introduced into an opening of a femoral component, a coupling portion provided on a lower surface of the body part, and having an engagement surface of a certain height to form a step difference with an outer circumferential surface of the body part, the engagement surface being formed on left and right sides of the coupling portion, and being not formed on an indentation surface, and a fastening portion having a plurality of coupling protrusions formed in a portion where the engagement surface of the coupling portion is not formed.
