11576690 · 2023-02-14 ·

A stemless humeral head replacement system including a base plate and a humeral head implant. The base plate includes a bone facing side, an implant side opposite the bone facing side, a curvate perimeter, at least one fin protruding from the bone facing side a first distance and extending linearly a length along the bone facing side, and an implant engagement structure on the implant side. The humeral head implant includes a curvate implant surface and a base plate engagement structure opposite the curvate implant surface, the base plate engagement structure configured to couple to the implant engagement structure of the base plate.

METAPHYSEAL REFERENCING TECHNIQUE AND INSTRUMENT

Guides for guiding a tool into a medullary canal of a bone. The guides can include a base and a guide feature. The base can include a first surface configured to contact the bone and a second surface opposite the first surface. The guide feature can be disposed to guide the tool along a central portion of the medullary canal.

Mixed-reality surgical system with physical markers for registration of virtual models

An example method includes obtaining, a virtual model of a portion of an anatomy of a patient obtained from a virtual surgical plan for an orthopedic joint repair surgical procedure to attach a prosthetic to the anatomy; identifying, based on data obtained by one or more sensors, positions of one or more physical markers positioned relative to the anatomy of the patient; and registering, based on the identified positions, the virtual model of the portion of the anatomy with a corresponding observed portion of the anatomy.

Arthroscopic tool for labrum repair procedure and a method for use thereof

An arthroscopic tool for labrum repair procedure, including: a cannulated working channel having a proximal end and a distal end; and a holding element adapted to be attached to the proximal end of the working channel for supporting a labrum during an arthroscopic labrum repair procedure.

REAMER AND GUIDE FOR GLENOID AUGMENT PREPARATION

The present disclosure provides reaming apparatuses. The reaming apparatuses can comprise a base guide, a reamer, and a reamer driver. The base guide can define a base guide through bore and a base guide articulating surface. The base guide articulating surface can be oriented at an angle relative to the base guide through bore. The reamer can define a reamer articulating surface operable to allow rotation of the reamer on the base guide articulating surface. The reamer driver can operate with the reamer to cause rotation of the reamer when the reamer driver rotates.

SCREW TARGETING GUIDE SYSTEM AND METHOD

A targeting guide includes a body defining a first guide hole sized and configured to receive a guide sleeve therethrough. The first guide hole extends through the body on a first axis. An alignment arm extends between a first end and a second end. The first end is coupled to the body. A tip extends from the second end of the alignment arm. A free end of the tip is aligned with the first axis of the first guide hole.

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PREPARING BONE FOR RECEIVING AN IMPLANT
20230000645 · 2023-01-05 · ·

A method of performing arthroplasty of an anatomical joint for receipt of an implant is disclosed. The method includes developing a preoperative plan, designing a patient specific guide based on the preoperative plan, obtaining the patient specific guide, placing the patient specific guide relative to the identified bone, fixing a pair of pins into the bone to establish an Alpha plane and executing the preoperative plan while referencing the Alpha plane. A desired amount of remaining first bone is determined based on a condition of the anatomical joint and a desired orientation of the implant. The patient specific guide includes a pair of bores defined therein and located in positions to accept a complementary pair of pins. The bores are arranged at locations on the patient specific guide to orient the respective pins in a direction optimized for surgeon access to the first bone and to establish the Alpha plane.

TARGETING TOOL FOR VIRTUAL SURGICAL GUIDANCE

An example physical targeting tool includes a main body defining a channel configured to receive a tool, the channel having a longitudinal axis; a first physical targeting feature attached to the main body; and a second physical targeting feature attached to the main body, wherein the first physical targeting feature and the second physical targeting feature are displaced along the longitudinal axis of the channel.

Methods, systems and devices for pre-operatively planned glenoid placement guides and uses thereof
11712302 · 2023-08-01 · ·

Methods, systems and devices for pre-operatively planned shoulder surgery guides and implants. Pre-operative planning methods for designing glenoid placement guides and depth-control pins based on considerations of multiple factors affecting the outcome of shoulder surgery. Methods of using surgery guides and implants, including glenoid placement guides and depth-control pins, in patients undergoing shoulder surgery.

Surgical fastening

Methods of joint repair employing sutures and attached fixation devices are discussed. For example, a bone block graft procedure (e.g., Latarjet) is discussed which employs fixation devices to secure contact between graft surfaces of two bones. A suture construct, including a continuous suture loop routed through a first fastener, is secured to a first bone. Looped ends of the suture loop are passed through passageways formed in the two bones. The looped suture ends are further routed through a second fastener. The second fastener is mounted to the second bone and a sliding knot, formed in the looped suture ends, is advanced into contact with the second fastener. The suture is further tensioned using a tensioner device to secure the two bones together.
