A prosthetic component (2) adapted to be mounted to a bone as part of a knee prosthesis comprises a spacing element for compensating resected bone. The prosthetic component (2) further comprises a main body (6) with a contact surface (7) configured to abut the spacing element and a fixation mechanism (9) for fixing the spacing element between the contact surface (7) and the bone.

The fixation mechanism (9) comprises a receiving portion (10) located at the contact surface (7). The fixation mechanism (9) further comprises an insert (11) for insertion into the receiving portion (10) and a fastening element adapted to engage with the insert (11). The receiving portion (10) is adapted to fix the insert (11) via a bayonet joint connection such that the fastening element, extending through the spacing element and engaging with the insert (11), fixes the spacing element to the contact surface (7).

An inclination guide for use with an implant insertion tool during a surgical procedure includes a unitary body having a clip configured to be coupled to a mounting surface of the implant insertion tool, an elongated riser extending from the clip, and an elongated indicator extending from the elongated riser to a distal end. Such a design allows for an inexpensive and lightweight inclination guide that may be easily and quickly adjusted after assembly.

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 bone fusion method, system and device for insertion between bones that are to be fused together in order to replace degenerated discs and/or bones, for example, the vertebrae of a spinal column. The bone fusion device includes a body and an extendable plate. The bone fusion device is able to be inserted between or replace the vertebrae by using a minimally invasive procedure wherein the dimensions and/or other characteristics of the bone fusion device are selectable based on the type of minimally invasive procedure.

An implant stabilizes two adjacent bones of a joint, while enabling a natural kinematic relative movement of the bones. Support components are connected to each bone of the joint, and a flexible core is interposed between them. The core and at least one of the support components are provided with a smooth sliding surface upon which the core and support component may slide relative to each other, enabling a corresponding movement of the bones. The surfaces may have a mating curvature, to mimic a natural movement of the joint. The core is resilient, and may bend or compress, enabling the bones to move towards each other, and or to bend relative to each other.

An acetabular hip implant includes a plurality of rings secured to an acetabular shell component. A method of fabricating a customized, patient-specific version of such an implant is also disclosed.

The present disclosure provides a hipbone prosthesis, comprising: a prosthesis main body (10), the prosthesis main body (10) being of an arched structure, the prosthesis main body including a first end portion (11) and a second end portion, and the first end portion (11) being contacted and matched with a sacrum (1); and an acetabular cup (20) and a connecting device (30), the acetabular cup (20) being connected with the second end portion in a position adjustable manner via the connecting device (30). According to the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the problems of unreliable supporting and easy fatigue break of a screw-rod system in the related technology are effectively solved.

The present disclosure relates to an anti-rotation locking system for an expandable implant. The anti-rotation locking system may include a screw comprising a screw head comprising a plurality of notches. The anti-rotation locking system further comprises a housing and a locking member comprising a ring, a partial ring, and a strut coupling the ring to the partial ring.
