EXPANSIBLE INTERVERTEBRAL IMPLANT

Various embodiments of an intervertebral implant comprise a body extending longitudinally along a primary axis, a baseplate, a plurality of elongated arms having a vertebral support surface, the arms being articulated such that the implant has a folded-back position in which the arms are close to each other, and a deployed position in which the arms are moved away from each other, and expansion means between the folded-back and deployed positions, comprising at least two branches pivotably mounted relative to each other and attached to the elongated arms by guide means such that translation of the expansion means parallel to the primary axis causes pivoting of the branches and moves the arms away from each other.

Methods for attaching acetabular augments together or to acetabular shells
11806239 · 2023-11-07 · ·

Systems and methods and augments for supporting an acetabular shell at a hip bone. An example system of modular augments can include first and second augments, each having a body extending from a respective first end portion to a respective second end portion. The first augment second end portion can include a first coupling element and the second augment first end portion can include a second coupling element. Together the first and second coupling elements can form a coupling mechanism to join the first and second augments together. In some examples, the coupling mechanism can include a bulbous tip portion and a recess to receive and retain the bulbous tip portion.

OSSEOINTEGRATION SYSTEM
20220096250 · 2022-03-31 ·

Improved osseointegration devices and structures, including such structures that can be used in connection with prosthetic limbs. Examples include a self-centering implant/nut configuration, a centering device, a tapered mounting screw hole, a coupling device, and an aiming device. The devices are highly efficacious. For example, they can be secured with minimal residual bone, and may be removed without significant bone destruction.

TRIAL INSERT ASSEMBLY
20210298920 · 2021-09-30 · ·

A trial insert having a first member having an engagement channel extending from a bottom surface towards a top surface and along a first direction that extends from a first end to a second end. The trial insert has a second member having an engagement member extending away from a top surface and along a second direction that extends from a first end to a second end, where the engagement member is received within the engagement channel, and where the first member is translatable relative to the second member along a longitudinal axis of the trial insert.

EXPANDABLE FUSION DEVICE AND METHOD OF INSTALLATION THEREOF

An expandable fusion device is capable of being installed inside an intervertebral disc space to maintain normal disc spacing and restore spinal stability, thereby facilitating an intervertebral fusion. The fusion device may include 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.
