An apparatus includes a body extending from a first end to a second end. The first end is a leading end, and the second end includes a first coupling element configured to couple the body to a first other component. The body includes an external fixation element extending along a length of the first component. The external fixation element is configured to engage bone. Systems and methods are also disclosed.

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.

Bone implants, including methods of use and assembly. The bone implants, which are optionally composite implants, generally include a distal anchoring region and a growth region that is proximal to the distal anchoring region. The distal anchoring region can have one or more distal surface features that adapt the distal anchoring region for anchoring into iliac bone. The growth region can have one or more growth features that adapt the growth region to facilitate at least one of bony on-growth, in-growth, or through-growth. The implants may be positioned along a posterior sacral alar-iliac (“SAI”) trajectory. The implants may be coupled to one or more bone stabilizing constructs, such as rod elements thereof.

A shoulder implant system comprising a glenoid implant; a baseplate comprising an implant facing surface to face the glenoid implant; wherein the glenoid implant comprises at least one fixation element configured to engage with at least one fixation element of the baseplate; wherein the at least one fixation element of the glenoid implant comprises a center post having a distal end; wherein the at least one fixation element of the baseplate comprises a center post receptacle; wherein the baseplate comprises an outer periphery; wherein the implant facing surface of the baseplate comprises a channel which extends from the outer periphery of the baseplate to the center post receptacle of the baseplate; and wherein the channel is configured such that, during an assembly of the glenoid implant and the baseplate, the distal end of the post is movable in the channel from the outer periphery of the baseplate to the center post receptacle of the baseplate.

A joint replacement implant may include a shaft having a proximal end, a distal end, and a threaded shaft portion, a helical thread disposed about the shaft defining a length of the threaded shaft portion and including a concave undercut surface angled towards one of the proximal end and the distal end of the shaft, and an attachment feature at the proximal end of the joint replacement implant. The attachment feature may be configured to couple an articular member to the joint replacement implant. The articular member may include at least one artificial articular surface that may be shaped to replace at least a portion of a natural articular surface of a joint of a patient.

The present disclosure provides an implant system. The implant system includes an anchor configured to be secured to bone within an excision site formed in a patients glenoid, said anchor including a shank and an enlarged head. The implant system also includes a baseplate including a body comprising: a bone facing surface; an implant facing surface; and a channel configured to extend radially from an entrance in an outer periphery of said body to a central region of said baseplate, said channel configured to receive said enlarged head and a portion of said shank and including an open region formed, at least in part, in said bone facing surface. The implant system also includes an implant including a body defining a load bearing surface and a baseplate recess, said baseplate recess configured to receive at least a portion of said implant facing surface to said baseplate such that said implant is coupled to said baseplate.
