Ankle prosthesis with neutral position adjustment
The invention relates to an ankle prosthesis (1) comprising a talar implant (2) designed to be implanted in or on the talus (3), a tibial implant (4) designed to be implanted in or on the tibia (5), and an intermediate implant (6) designed to be interposed between the tibial implant and the talar implant, said intermediate implant (6) being designed to be mounted to move relative to said talar implant (2) at a contact interface (7) in order to allow the ankle to move, said ankle prosthesis (1) being characterized in that it is provided with configurable coupling means (10) designed to enable the intermediate implant (6) to be arranged relative to the tibial implant (4) in a specific configuration chosen from among a plurality of possible configurations.
Hipbone Prosthesis
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.
Spinner body
An intervertebral implant can include a housing having a first end and second end with a top side and bottom side therebetween, with at least one engagement opening in the top side and/or bottom side, the implant having a first dimension from the top side to the bottom side; a shaft rotatably located within the housing and having a shaft head exposed through an end opening in the first end, the shaft head having a tool coupling member; the cam mechanism operably coupled with the shaft such that rotation of the shaft rotates the cam mechanism; and at least one engaging surface operably coupled to the cam mechanism such that rotation of the shaft protrudes and/or retracts each engaging surface through an engagement opening, wherein when each engaging surface protrudes through the engagement opening, the implant has a second dimension that is greater than the first dimension.
INTERVERTEBRAL DISC IMPLANT
Systems and tools for inserting and securing an implant within the intervertebral space. An intervertebral disc implant with upper and lower bearing members with an articulation interface between the members for providing relative motion therebetween. The implant may be provided with various securing members for fixing the implant within the intervertebral space. A tool may be used to insert the implant, which includes a plurality of shiftable implant engaging members that are shiftable between non-engaging and engaging configurations to alternatively release or hold the implant.
ANKLE PROSTHESIS WITH NEUTRAL POSITION ADJUSTMENT
The invention relates to an ankle prosthesis (1) comprising a talar implant (2) designed to be implanted in or on the talus (3), a tibial implant (4) designed to be implanted in or on the tibia (5), and an intermediate implant (6) designed to be interposed between the tibial implant and the talar implant, said intermediate implant (6) being designed to be mounted to move relative to said talar implant (2) at a contact interface (7) in order to allow the ankle to move, said ankle prosthesis (1) being characterized in that it is provided with configurable coupling means (10) designed to enable the intermediate implant (6) to be arranged relative to the tibial implant (4) in a specific configuration chosen from among a plurality of possible configurations.
Spinal cage devices, systems, and methods of assembly and use
Spinal cage devices, systems, and methods of assembly and implanting the devices and systems are disclosed. The cage system includes a cage and at least one locking screw assembly configured to couple to the cage. The spinal cage system includes a cage with a body portion, an external plate, and a rod. The body portion includes at least one opening positioned between the first and second ends, a center opening in the first end, and at least one hole adjacent the center opening. The external plate includes an opening and at least two holes on opposite sides of the opening. The rod extends through the center opening in the cage, the first end configured to couple to the external plate, and the second end positioned in the at least one opening. Methods for assembling a spinal cage system and for implanting a cage system are also disclosed.

SIX DEGREE SPINE STABILIZATION DEVICES AND METHODS
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.
Tissue spacer implants, insertion and adjustment tools, and method of use
Tissue spacer implants and surgical methods for inserting the implants are disclosed. The implants may include a first cylindrical body with an outer surface, an axially extending hole, and a first end, a second cylindrical body with an outer surface and an axially extending hole, and an adjustment member with an outer surface, an axial hole, and at least one helical slot. The adjustment member axial hole may be adapted to receive the first cylindrical body and the adjustment member may be configured to be inserted into the axially extending hole of second cylindrical body. The implants may also include a travel mechanism for engaging the first cylindrical body, adjustment member, and second cylindrical body along the at least one helical slot to maintain a space between two bodies of tissue.
Intervertebral implant with improved shape of the fixing plate
An intervertebral implant (100) for the fusion between two vertebral bodies of a vertebral column comprising: a fusion cage (1), extending from a posterior side to an anterior side, adapted to be interposed between two adjacent vertebral bodies of a patient; an asymmetrical fixing plate (2), attached to the fusion cage (1) and having a plurality of passageways (16; 7) for the insertion of bone screws on a single side.
