The method includes plastically deforming a first passageway within the first peg, while the first peg is inserted into the first bore, by inserting a first stiffening pin into the first passageway.

REPLACEMENT MEMBER FOR A JOINT REPLACEMENT

The disclosure relates to a replacement member for a shoulder joint replacement comprising an attachment face on one side of the member, a concave joint surface on a side of the replacement member opposite to the side of the attachment face, and a circumferential face connecting the attachment face and the joint surface. A portion of the concave joint surface is connected to at least a portion of the circumferential face via a chamfered or rounded edge.

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.

Shoulder implants and assembly
11564802 · 2023-01-31 · ·

An implant is disclosed that has a base member, an articulating member, and a coupling portion that secures the base member to the articulating member. The implant can be a shoulder implant (100, 200, 300) that has a baseplate (102, 230, 310), an articulating component (104, 210), and a fixation component (106, 270, 342). The baseplate includes a first side (110, 234, 314) with a projection (108, 240, 320) that has a first Morse taper and may be offset from a center line of the baseplate and a second side (116, 236, 316) that has a post or stem (114, 250, 330) that is offset from the center line of the baseplate. The articulating component includes a cavity (122, 220) with a second Morse taper that is offset from a center line of the articulating component. The articulating component is attachable to the baseplate when the projection is received in the cavity of the articulation component. A threaded through hole (130, 222) extends from the cavity of the articulating component to a second, convex side or articulating surface (120, 212) thereof. The through hole can be aligned with the cavity. The fixation component (106, 270, 342) can engage the through hole and is contained within a cavity (132, 322, 242) of the baseplate by a spring (138, 262, 360) and a cap (140), a second fixation member (280), or an engagement member (370).

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.

ANCHORING MEMBER FOR A JOINT REPLACEMENT

This disclosure relates to an anchoring member for a joint replacement, comprising a proximal interface part and a distal portion, the distal portion being configured to be anchored within bone tissue and the proximal interface part being configured for mounting a joint member of the joint replacement. The proximal interface part comprises a concave interface surface.

Modular augment component
11559403 · 2023-01-24 · ·

Disclosed is a central augment. The central augment can include a body and a protrusion. The body can include a first curved surface shaped to interface with a central portion of a bone and a second surface opposite the first curved surface and defining a recess sized to receive a portion of a prosthetic component. The protrusion can extend from the second surface within the recess.

Soft glenoid awning and related repair procedures

Systems and methods for opposing abnormal motion of an adjacent bone are provided. One exemplary embodiment of a surgical method includes delivering and securing a bone barrier to a bone bed of a glenoid such that at least a portion of the bone barrier extends laterally beyond the bone bed and can oppose, prevent, and/or reduce abnormal motion of an adjacent bone (e.g., a humeral head). The bone barrier can be secured along a periphery of a glenoid of a shoulder. More particularly, the bone barrier can be placed and secured such that at least a portion of the bone barrier extends laterally over the glenoid and can oppose abnormal motion of the humeral head. In some embodiments at least one suture anchor and suture can secure the bone barrier to the bone bed.
