A mobile bearing prosthetic implant may include a fossa implant seated in the fossa cavity of the skull and secured to the zygomatic arch. The fossa implant may define a primary recess constructed and arranged to mimic the articular eminence of the temporal bone such that a floating bearing connected to a ramus implant may translate along the original path that the condylar head would take during movement of the jaw. The floating bearing may be constructed and arranged to move from the first jaw angle recess to the second jaw angle recess and is positionable therebetween such that a longitudinal axis of the floating bearing is perpendicular to the direction of movement of the floating bearing within the fossa implant.

Provided is a method for forming an implant with an autonomous manufacturing device. The method includes accessing a first computer-readable reconstruction of a being's anatomy; accessing a second computer-readable reconstruction of an implant; accessing a third computer-readable reconstruction comprising the first computer-readable reconstruction superimposed with the second computer readable reconstruction; generating at least one computer-readable trace from a point cloud; and forming an implant with an autonomous manufacturing device, wherein the autonomous manufacturing device forms the implant into a shape defined by at least one dimension of the computer-readable trace.

A highly safe and inexpensive bone repair material that stably exhibits high antibacterial activity for a long time in a living body by supporting a large amount of an iodine ion and is excellent in apatite forming ability and preservability. The material includes a substrate made of titanium or titanium alloy and a titanate film on a surface of the substrate, the film composed of a large number of crystalline masses having a crystal structure and containing a calcium ion and an iodine ion, wherein the mass contains layers having a Ti—O skeleton and the calcium and the iodine ions adsorbed between the layers.

An internal intramedullary fixation device for the stabilization of bone in arthrodesis and fractures of the foot and hand is disclosed. During implantation in medullary canals of bones, the device grasps the edges of the canals, stabilizing the bones, internally, during a healing process. The intramedullary fixation device comprises arrow-shaped proximal and distal heads comprising tips and a pairs of wings, the heads being sized to fit within an intramedullary canal of a bone. The intramedullary fixation device also comprises a rigid body defining a longitudinal axis connecting the proximal and distal heads. The rigid body comprises an intermediate portion, a distal neck portion connecting the rigid body to the distal head, and a proximal neck portion connecting the rigid body to the proximal head, the neck portions having a cross-sectional area smaller than a cross-section area of the intermediate portion.

A moldable medical membrane is provided, which includes a compact layer and a porous layer. The compact layer is formed from a first material. The porous layer is disposed on the compact layer, and the porous layer is formed from a second material. The moldable medical membrane has a moldable temperature range. A melting point of the compact layer is within the moldable temperature range, and a melting point of the porous layer is higher than the moldable temperature range.

Computer-implemented digital image analysis methods, apparatuses, and systems for robotic installation of surgical implants are disclosed. A disclosed apparatus plans a route within an anatomy of a patient from an incision site to a surgical implant site for robotic installation of a surgical implant. The apparatus uses digital imaging data to identify less-invasive installation paths and determine the dimensions of the surgical implant components being used. The apparatus segments the surgical implant into surgical implant subcomponents and modifies the surgical implant subcomponents, such that they can be inserted using the identified less-invasive installation paths.

An artificial bone is provided comprising an inner core made from a porous material, the porous material comprising at least one fiber component having fibers, a liquid and a binder, and an outer layer comprising at least one fiber component having fibers, a liquid and a binder, wherein the ratio of the at least one fiber component having fibers to liquid to binder of the inner core is different from the ratio of the at least one fiber component having fibers to liquid to binder of the outer layer.
