A distal femoral joint replacement system includes a femoral component having condylar articular surfaces, a stem extending from the femoral component, and a void filler for filling a bone void within a femur. The void filler includes a body and a plurality of legs extending from the body. The body has a sidewall defining an opening for receipt of the stem which extends along a length of the body and extends through the sidewall so as to form a side-slot in the sidewall that extends along an entire length of the sidewall. The plurality of legs each have a first end connected to the body and a second end remote from the body. The legs each have an outer surface that tapers between the first and second ends and is configured to register with a corresponding inner surface of a bone void when implanted in an end of the femur.

Modular endoprosthesis for at least partial replacement of a tubular bone, comprising, as module components, a stem for insertion into a bone cavity of the tubular bone, and an end piece comprising a support body with a neck part arranged on the medial aspect thereof. Said module components being able to be coupled to each other and released from each other along a longitudinal axis of the shaft. The end piece has at least two different surface configurations on its support body, namely a closed surface (6′) on a medial aspect, and a porous configuration of the surface on the opposite, lateral aspect. The latter permits and positions the adhesion of muscle tissue, specifically without suturing. The muscle trauma caused by suturing, and the peak loads that occur at the respective suture points, can thus be avoided by virtue of the invention, by means of the location-specific direct adhesion of the muscle. It is thus possible to achieve quicker and reliable mobilization of the patient, and this with a reduced risk of complications.

This glenoidal component for a shoulder prosthesis comprises a base which may be immobilized on the glenoid cavity of a shoulder, and an element provided to be mounted on this base and forming a convex surface of articulation centred on an axis of symmetry. This axis of symmetry is non perpendicular to a rear face of the base intended to abut against the glenoid cavity, this making it possible to compensate a defect in parallelism between the resectioned surface of the glenoid cavity and the axis of the patient's spinal column. A surgeon can select the component in which the axes of symmetry of the components are oriented differently with respect to their rear faces.

Patient-specific guides for the Latarjet procedure, as well as surgical systems and methods of performing the Latarjet procedure to treat glenohumeral instability using such patient-specific guides are disclosed. A patient-specific coracoid guide and a patient-specific glenoid guide may be configured based on preoperatively generated three-dimensional models of the patient's shoulder anatomy. Guides may be configured for coracoid graft preparation and glenoid decortication. The coracoid graft may be placed in the desired position based on three-dimensional (3D) preoperative planning.

Disclosed herein is an implant. The implant can include a body and a plurality of fixation members. The body can define an articular surface and a bone engaging surface opposite the articular surface. The bone engaging surface can define a groove that separates a first section of the bone engaging surface from a second section of the bone engaging surface. The plurality of fixation members can extend from the bone engaging surface.

The augments, systems and methods for supporting acetabular implants described herein can include an augment (100) for supporting an acetabular shell (90) having a first portion (136) of a locking mechanism. The system can also include a shell having a second portion of a locking mechanism (96). The first portion of the locking mechanism and the second portion of the locking mechanism can be adapted to move relative to one another from an unlocked state to a locked state to fixedly couple the augment to the shell. In some examples, the augment can be contourable to match the shape of a bone.

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.

The present invention discloses an intermediate segment (20) for arrangement between a concave implantation surface (14) of a joint component (10), particularly a femoral prosthesis, and bone tissue. The intermediate segment (20) comprises an intermediate segment body (23) with at least one side (24, 25) facing the joint component (10), wherein one (24) of the at least one side facing the joint component is convex. In addition, the intermediate segment (20) comprises a locking mechanism for attaching the intermediate segment to the joint component with at least a first (21) and a second (32) latching element, wherein at least one of the latching elements (21, 32) is movable. The present invention also relates to a joint component (10) comprising an intermediate segment (20) and a method for securing an intermediate segment (20) to a joint component (10).

A knee joint prosthesis may be for implantation in a knee of a patient. The knee prosthesis may comprise a tibial component configured to be implanted on the tibia and a femoral component configured to be implanted on the femur. The femoral component may comprise a medial condyle with a medial articulation surface and a lateral condyle with a lateral articulation surface. The medial articulation surface and the lateral articulation surface may be shaped substantially symmetrically to each other across a femoral component plane bisecting the femoral component. The tibial component may comprise an articulation surface with a medial articulation side configured to articulate with the medial articulation surface and a lateral articulation side configured to articulate with the lateral articulation surface. The medial articulation side and the lateral articulation side may be shaped substantially asymmetrically to each other across a tibial component plane bisecting the tibial component.

An orthopaedic joint replacement system is shown and described. The system includes a number of prosthetic components configured to be implanted into a patient's knee. The system also includes a number of surgical instruments configured for use in preparing the bones of the patient's knee to receive the implants. A method or technique for using the surgical instruments to prepare the bones is also disclosed.
