INTEGRAL GRAFT INTERBODY DEVICES
20230043823 · 2023-02-09 ·

An interbody spinal implant including a body portion having a superior side, an inferior side and a lateral side connecting the superior side and the inferior side, at least one of the superior side or the inferior side comprises a bone contacting surface operable to be coupled to an anatomical structure of a patient; and a plurality of uniform features formed in the bone contacting surface, wherein each uniform feature of the plurality of uniform features comprise a planar peak or a round peak and are dimensioned to increase a surface area of the bone contacting surface to promote bone growth.

BONE FUSION DEVICE
20230000640 · 2023-01-05 ·

A bone fusion device for insertion between bones that are to be fused together, such as, for example, the vertebrae of a spinal column. The bone fusion device comprises at least one extendable tab and one or more tab extension assemblies. Each tab extension assembly is able to be adjusted in order to individually control the extension or contraction of a side of the tab thereby enabling adjustment of the height and/or angle of the tab with respect to the body of the bone fusion device. Each tab extension assembly is able to be individually adjusted such that the side controlled by each assembly is raised or lowered until the desired tab angle is achieved. The tab is advantageously positioned and angled to correspond to the vertebrae to help brace the device until the bone has fused.

COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR TREATING BONE FRACTURES
20230218400 · 2023-07-13 ·

Provided herein are compositions and methods for treating bone fractures. In particular, provided herein are systems comprising carbon fiber sleeves and biocompatible polymers and the use of such systems in treating or preventing bone fractures.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PREPARING A MENISCAL TISSUE FOR IMPLANT

Systems and methods here include a meniscal allograft with a bone block and a technique for making a desired shape in the bone block to be used to implant in a patient. A clamp and/or jig arrangement are disclosed that are able to secure the tissue and allow three corresponding cuts to the tissue using the clamp as a guide to a saw to obtain the desired shape.

BIOMATERIALS FOR BONE TISSUE ENGINEERING

Provided herein are scaffold biomaterials including a decellularized plant or fungal tissue from which cellular materials and nucleic acids of the tissue are removed, the decellularized plant or fungal tissue having a 3-dimensional porous structure; wherein the decellularized plant or fungal tissue may optionally be at least partially coated or mineralized, wherein the scaffold biomaterial may optionally further include a protein-based hydrogel and/or a polysaccharide-based hydrogel, or both. Also provided herein are methods and uses of such scaffold biomaterials, including methods of manufacture as well as methods and uses for bone tissue engineering, for example.

Cartilage and bone harvest and delivery system and methods

A system for harvesting bone material from a bone may include a rotary cutter defining a rotary cutter longitudinal axis extending between a rotary cutter proximal end and a rotary cutter distal end. The rotary cutter may have a drive shaft configured to receive input torque, and an osteochondral cutter configured to cut the tissue and receive the tissue material in response to rotation of the osteochondral cutter under pressure against the tissue. The system may further include a bone port defining a bone port longitudinal axis extending between a bone port proximal end and a bone port distal end. The bone port may have a bone port cannulation sized to closely fit over the osteochondral cutter. At least one of the bone port proximal end and the bone port distal end may be securable to the tissue. A stratiform tissue graft may be delivered through the bone port.

Method for treating joint pain

A method for treating joint pain in a subject is disclosed. The method can include inserting a bone dowel and a first portion of a bone marrow aspirate into a subchondral region of a bone that is part of a joint being treated and introducing a second portion of the bone marrow aspirate into the intraarticular space of the joint being treated.

Implantable systems, devices and related methods

The present application is generally directed to implantable systems, devices and related methods pertaining to spinal surgery. In particular, the present application discloses a frame and spacer system for inserting into a disc space. The frame and spacer system is of low profile. The frame can receive different fixation devices, including threaded and non-threaded fixation devices.

BONE PLUG COMPRESSION INSTRUMENT
20220331127 · 2022-10-20 ·

A bone plug compression instrument that can be used to reshape includes a first compression element having a first cavity, a second compression element having a second cavity, and a base portion for supporting the first and second compression elements. The second compression element moves between first and second positions. In the first position, the bone plug compression instrument forms an open configuration, in which the first and second cavities are spaced apart from each other allowing the bone plug in a substantially non-compressed state to be inserted in a space between the first and second cavities In the second position, the bone plug compression instrument forms a closed configuration, in which the first and second cavities press against each other to form a combined cavity for compressing the bone plug received in the combined cavity. The combined cavity has at least a partially converging shape.
