Multi-Member Bone Structure Prostheses
A multi-member prosthesis including first and second elongated members and a central member, said multi-member prosthesis adapted to be advanced into a pilot SI joint opening in said dysfunctional SI joint via a posterior approach, the pilot SI joint opening comprising a sacrum opening and an ilium opening and a sacrum opening. The first elongated member adapted to be press-fit into the sacrum opening and the second elongated member adapted to be press-fit into the ilium opening. The central member including first and second elongated member securing means adapted to secure the first and second elongated members thereto.
SYSTEMS, METHODS AND DEVICES FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT
A temporomandibular joint replacement system includes a condylar component secured with a mandibular bone and a fossa component with a fossa backing secured with a zygomatic bone, the fossa having an open-ended concave fossa dome with a post-center peak to allow for mediolateral and anterior translation with a rounded, oblong condylar head of the condylar component. The bone-interfacing surfaces are anatomically-contoured to their respective bone surfaces and formed with materials and textures which promote osseointegration with the joint replacement.
REPLACEABLE FOSSA COMPONENT FOR A TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT REPLACEMENT SYSTEM
A temporomandibular joint replacement system includes a condylar component secured with a mandibular bone and a fossa component with a fossa backing secured with a zygomatic bone and slidably attached with a removable fossa lining, the fossa lining having an open-ended concave fossa dome with a post-center peak to allow for mediolateral and anterior translation with a rounded, oblong condylar head of the condylar component. The slidable attachment mechanism of the fossa backing and fossa lining is laterally-oriented to allow for post-implantation removal and replacement without disturbing any bone or bone-interfacing components. The bone-interfacing surfaces are anatomically-contoured to their respective bone surfaces and formed with materials and textures which promote osseointegration with the joint replacement.
UNICOMPARTMENTAL ANKLE PROSTHESIS
A partial ankle prosthesis includes a tibial component including a superior surface configured to be attached to a lower end of a patient's tibia; a poly component that is fixedly attached to the tibial component and includes a concave inferior surface of an anti-friction material; and a talar component including an inferior surface configured to be attached to a patient's talus and a single convex superior surface configured to mate with the inferior surface of the poly component; and the partial ankle prosthesis is configured to be implanted in a single compartment of a patient's ankle.
Modular polymer femoral components with metallic inserts
A system for converting a first joint prosthesis to a second joint prosthesis in-situ includes a plurality of inserts having a bone interface side and a component facing side and a plurality of articulating components having a cavity configured to receive at least one of the plurality of inserts. The plurality of inserts may be unicompartmental, bicompartmental, or tricompartmental. The inserts may be made of metal and may have a bone contacting surface made of a porous metal. The plurality of articulating components may be unicompartmental, bicompartmental, or tricompartmental. The articulating components may be sized and shaped to cover one or more of the plurality of bone interface components and span a distance therebetween. The articulating components may be made of a polymer.
Multi-piece intervertebral implants
Intervertebral implants for implanting into an intervertebral space are provided. The implants can comprise one or more layers that are operably attached to one another. An implant can comprise a first layer having a first mating surface that mates with a second mating surface of a second layer. The first mating surface and the second mating surface can have features that allow them to complement each other. The implants can include one or more bore holes for receiving a fixation member. The bore holes can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal. In some cases, the bore holes will be blind bore holes.
ANGLED BASEPLATE FOR HUMERAL AND GLENOID ARTICULAR SURFACE IMPLANT SYSTEMS AND METHODS
The present disclosure provides a glenoid implant system for a reverse shoulder implant system that includes a glenoid implant having a center post, and also includes an angled baseplate comprising a bone facing surface to face an implant site prepared in a glenoid region of a patient, and an implant facing surface to face and engage the glenoid implant and receive the center post of the glenoid implant, wherein the implant facing surface being at an angle with respect to a centerline of the bone facing surface.
LOW-PROFILE PROSTHESES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS
A system includes a first prosthesis. The first prosthesis may include a body extending along a length from a first side to a second and including a third side disposed between the first side and the second side. The body may include a pair of spaced apart rails between which a channel is defined. A stem and a first fixation element may extend upwardly from the third side. A method may include coupling the first prosthesis to bone.
COUPLING SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Various systems and methods are disclosed for joining multiple components of a prosthesis. For example, a system includes a first component having a body extending from a first end to a second end. Each of the first and second ends including a coupling element. At least one end including a male coupling element including a detent disposed within a hole defined by a protrusion, the detent being biased by a biasing member. A method includes coupling a first component to a second component. Coupling the first component to the second component includes aligning a female engagement element provided by the first component with a male coupling component provided by the second component and inserting the male coupling element into the female coupling element.
TOTAL KNEE JOINT PROSTHESIS FOR REVISION AFTER A UNICOMPARTMENTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY
The present application relates to the technical field of biomaterials for implant and intervention, and particularly to a total knee joint prosthesis for revision after a unicompartmental knee arthroplasty including a tibial plateau and a tibial pad mounted on the tibial plateau; the tibial plateau includes an installation platform and an installation column fixedly connect to a side of the installation platform; a filling block is provided on a side of the installation platform towards the installation column; and the filling block is configured to be placed at a side of the human tibia where a unicompartmental knee arthroplasty is performed.
