Reversed glenoid implants, and related kits and methods, are described that include an anchor member having a proximal head and a baseplate having a distal end with a first aperture sized to accept the proximal head of the anchor member. The proximal head is inserted along an un-threaded length thereof from the distal end into the first aperture, and the anchor member is restrained against axial translation with respect to the baseplate but is permitted to rotate with respect to the baseplate.

An insertion instrument for expandable spinal implants includes an elongate member, a shuttle, and a worm gear. The elongate member includes a handle portion of a proximal end and an end effector on a distal end, wherein the end effector is configured to be releasably engaged to an expandable spinal implant. The shuttle is slidably disposed within a cavity defined within the end effector and includes a wedged shaped distal end configured to engage an expandable spinal implant. The worm gear is rotatably disposed within the cavity defined in the end effector and is in mechanical communication with the shuttle, such that rotation of the worm gear effectuates movement of the shuttle. Distal movement of the shuttle effectuates articulation of an expandable spinal implant. A method of performing surgery is also disclosed.

A method and system for performing bone fusion and/or securing one or more bones, such as adjacent vertebra, are disclosed.

An orthopaedic surgical instrument may include an elongated body with an implant end and an impactor end. A latch lever may be pivotally coupled to the elongated body. The latch lever may be moveable between an open position and a latched position in which the latch lever is retained within the body. An acetabular shell component may be rigidly attached to the implant end of the elongated body. An automated surgical impactor may be attached to the impactor end.

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.

A load dissipating arthroplasty prosthesis comprising a shell, an articular device extending into the shell through a collar defined in the sell, a head and neck portion of the articular device extending from the collar, a shaft portion of the articular device extending into the shell, and a plurality of shock absorbing arcuate linkers spacing and allowing limited movement between the shell and the articular device.

Provided are improved hip prosthetic devices that reduce the risk of hip dislocation upon performing artificial hip replacement. The improved hip prosthetic devices comprise a flexible bumper configured to extend from the acetabular component and prevent contact between the femoral neck and the acetabular component. The bumper may be an acetabular capsule inserted in collaboration with a standard hip prosthetic device, and attached to a standard acetabular liner. The capsule has a bumper region that cushions contact between the femoral neck and the acetabular component, thereby preventing impingement and dislocation, both common in patients in which known hip prosthetic devices are used. Alternatively, an improved acetabular liner comprises an integral bumper which prevents impingement of the femoral neck and acetabular components, thereby reducing dislocation risk and securing the femoral head within the acetabular liner.

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.

In one embodiment of the disclosure, a prosthetic bone implant includes a prosthesis and a tissue attachment structure connected to the prosthesis. The tissue attachment structure includes a connective structure connected to the prosthesis and an interface structure connected to the connective structure. The interface structure is configured for attachment of tissue thereto. When the interface structure is subject to tension, the connective structure changes in shape.
