Provided is a joint replacement with a joint socket (10) having a concave joint surface (11), and with a joint insert (20) having a concave joint surface (21) and a convex joint surface (22) which are each delimited by a peripheral edge (23, 24). The convex joint surface (22) of the joint insert (20) is designed, in the assembled state, to form a first partial joint with the concave joint surface (11) of the joint socket (10). Moreover, the concave joint surface (21) of the joint insert (20) is designed, in the assembled state, to form a second partial joint with the convex joint surface (32) of a joint head (30). The joint socket (10) and the joint insert (20) each have a securing means (12, 25, 26) for preventing dislocation of the joint replacement.

The present invention provides an expandable fusion device capable of being installed inside an intervertebral disc space to maintain normal disc spacing and restore spinal stability, thereby facilitating an intervertebral fusion. In one embodiment, the fusion device includes a body portion, a first endplate, and a second endplate, the first and second endplates capable of being moved in a direction away from the body portion into an expanded configuration or capable of being moved towards the body portion into an unexpanded configuration. The fusion device is capable of being deployed and installed in both configurations.

A spinal implant system is provided for bridging an intervertebral space between vertebral bodies bordering the intervertebral space. The spinal implant system includes at least one adjustable end cap and a spinal implant. The end cap can be used with additional end caps and/or the spinal implant. Multiple end caps can be stacked on top of one another, and one end cap can be attached to a first end of the spinal implant, and another end cap can be attached to a second end of the spinal implant. Thus, one or more of the end caps can be attached to either end of the spinal implant.

A method of treating a spine includes implanting a spinal implant within a patient. The spinal implant includes a first member having a first wall defining an axial passageway and a first opening, the first opening being in communication with the axial passageway. A second member includes a second wall defining an axial channel having the first member disposed therein, the second wall defining a second opening in communication with the axial channel. Bone graft is injected through the first opening and into the axial passageway and through the second opening and into the axial channel after the spinal implant is implanted within the patient.

Shoulder arthroplasty systems and configurations for components thereof are described. For example, implant systems for a total should arthroplasty (TSA), hemi shoulder arthroplasty, and reverse should arthroplasty (RSA) are described. In addition, exemplary configurations for baseplates, glenoid components, glenosphere components, humeral components, humeral head components, humerosocket components, connectors, and adaptors, are described.

The invention relates to an intervertebral disk prosthesis (10), comprising a caudal plate (20), a cranial plate (30), and an elastic core (40) formed between the caudal plate (20) and the cranial plate (30), wherein the caudal plate (20) has a cavity (25) on the side (21) facing the cranial plate (30), wherein the core (40) is integrally connected to the cavity (25) in the caudal plate (20).

An expandable vertebral body implant, and methods of assembly and using the implant. The vertebral body implant includes a body with a first end and a second end, a rotating member rotatably coupled to the first end of the body, wherein an end includes a plurality of first notches inset into the rotating member, an extension member moveably coupled to the rotating member, and a locking member positioned on an interior of the body. Methods for assembling and using the vertebral body implant are also disclosed.

A system includes a first implant component and a second implant component. The first implant component is configured to be secured to a bone and includes a plate and a coupler extending upward from the plate and defining a coupler axis. The second implant component is configured to be coupled to the first implant component. The second implant component includes an articulation surface and defines a cavity configured to receive the coupler of the first implant component. The second implant component is couplable to the first implant component at a plurality of rotational orientations about the coupler axis.

An implant including first and second end plates, each of which defines at least one anterior ramped surface and at least one posterior ramped surface. A posterior actuator is positioned between the first and second end plates and has guiding ramp surfaces which correspond with the posterior ramped surfaces. An anterior actuator is positioned between the first and second end plates and guiding ramp surfaces which correspond with the anterior ramped surfaces. An actuator assembly extends between the posterior actuator and the anterior actuator and is configured to selectively move the posterior actuator and the anterior actuator simultaneously, move posterior actuator independently of the anterior actuator, or move the anterior actuator independently of the posterior actuator.
