Fastening devices, systems, and methods
A pedicle bone fastener may include a shaft, a helical thread, and an integrated attachment feature. The shaft may include a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis. The helical thread may be disposed about the shaft along the longitudinal axis between the proximal and distal ends of the shaft. The helical thread may include a first undercut surface and a second undercut surface. The first undercut surface may be angled toward one of the proximal end and the distal end of the shaft and the second undercut surface may be angled toward the other one of the proximal end and the distal end of the shaft. The integrated attachment feature may be disposed at the proximal end of the shaft and configured to be adjustably secured to a spinal stabilization implement.
TIBIAL COMPONENT
In a tibial component, an engagement mechanism configured to engage a tibial block and a tibial tray includes a recessed portion that is disposed in a lower surface, is non-penetrating, and includes an overhanging portion protruding inward more on an opening side than on a bottom portion side in at least a part of an inner wall; and a projecting portion that protrudes from the tibial block to the lower surface side, and includes a protruding part configured to engage with the overhanging portion.
Shoulder prosthesis components and assemblies
An inserter includes a first end, a second end, and a body extending between the first end and the second end. A first impacting surface is disposed at the first end, and a second impacting surface is disposed adjacent to the second end. An interface disposed at the second end and is configured to engage an implant. The first impacting surface is configured to direct a first impacting force along the body of the inserter in a first direction, and the second impacting surface is configured to direct a second impacting force along the body in a second direction that is different from the first direction. Methods of use also are disclosed.
SHOULDER PROSTHESIS COMPONENTS AND ASSEMBLIES
Various embodiments disclosed herein relate to stemmed and stemless humeral anchors for use in shoulder arthroplasty procedures. For example, the humeral anchor can include a first end, a second end, and an interior surface extending between the first end and the second end. The interior surface can be disposed about a recess disposed between the first end and the second end. The recess can be configured to secure a coupling of a shoulder articular body directly to the interior surface.
Reverse shoulder prosthetic
A reverse modular humeral implant for implantation into a humerus that includes a natural humeral shaft and a natural humeral head. The implant includes a humeral stem implantable into the natural humeral shaft, and an adapter couplable to the humeral stem, the adapter including an anchoring projection configured to be coupled to a convex bearing.
SHOULDER PROSTHESIS COMPONENTS AND ASSEMBLIES
An inserter includes a first end, a second end, and a body extending between the first end and the second end. A first impacting surface is disposed at the first end, and a second impacting surface is disposed adjacent to the second end. An interface disposed at the second end and is configured to engage an implant. The first impacting surface is configured to direct a first impacting force along the body of the inserter in a first direction, and the second impacting surface is configured to direct a second impacting force along the body in a second direction that is different from the first direction. Methods of use also are disclosed.
MODULAR MEDIAL PIVOT TIBIAL INSERT FOR ENDOPROSTHETIC KNEE IMPLANT ASSEMBLY
Exemplary assemblies, apparatuses, systems, methods, and kits are provided herein related to modular tibial inserts. One such assembly can comprise a modular tibial insert assembly having: a modular medial insert component, the modular medial insert component having a medial component proximal side proximally disposed from a medial component distal base side, wherein a medial component body extends between the medial component proximal side and the medial component distal base side; a modular lateral insert component, the modular lateral insert component having a lateral component proximal side proximally disposed from a lateral component distal base side, wherein a lateral component body extends between the lateral component proximal side and the lateral component distal base side; wherein the modular tibial insert assembly has an assembled configuration and a disassembled configuration, and wherein the modular medial insert component is configured to fixedly engage the modular lateral insert component in the assembled configuration.
SPINAL CAGE DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS OF ASSEMBLY AND USE
Spinal cage devices, systems, and methods of assembly and implanting the devices and systems are disclosed. The cage system includes a cage and at least one locking screw assembly configured to couple to the cage. The spinal cage system includes a cage with a body portion, an external plate, and a rod. The body portion includes at least one opening positioned between the first and second ends, a center opening in the first end, and at least one hole adjacent the center opening. The external plate includes an opening and at least two holes on opposite sides of the opening. The rod extends through the center opening in the cage, the first end configured to couple to the external plate, and the second end positioned in the at least one opening. Methods for assembling a spinal cage system and for implanting a cage system are also disclosed.
