The base plate includes a bone facing side, an implant side opposite the bone facing side, a curvate perimeter, at least one fin protruding from the bone facing side a first distance and extending linearly a length along the bone facing side, and an implant engagement structure on the implant side. The humeral head implant includes a curvate implant surface and a base plate engagement structure opposite the curvate implant surface, the base plate engagement structure configured to couple to the implant engagement structure of the base plate.

A joint prosthesis assembly includes a stem that includes a first end, a second end, and a length that extends between the first and second ends. The stem includes a cylindrical opening that extends into the second end along a portion of the length and terminates within the stem so as to form a base surface that defines an end of the cylindrical opening. The assembly also includes a joint component that has an articular side, a bone contact side, and a cylindrical boss that extends from the bone contact side. The boss is slidingly receivable within the cylindrical opening so that, when the stem and joint component are implanted, the stem is unconstrained in an axial direction and constrained by the stem in a direction transverse to the axial direction.

An interbody spinal implant including a body portion having a superior side, an inferior side and a lateral side connecting the superior side and the inferior side, at least one of the superior side or the inferior side comprises a bone contacting surface operable to be coupled to an anatomical structure of a patient; and a plurality of uniform features formed in the bone contacting surface, wherein each uniform feature of the plurality of uniform features comprise a planar peak or a round peak and are dimensioned to increase a surface area of the bone contacting surface to promote bone growth.

A humeral implant component connectable to another humeral implant component, the humeral implant component comprising: a longitudinal axis, a first end and a second end, the first end and the second end opposing each other along the longitudinal axis of the humeral implant component, and an interface part for connecting the humeral implant component to the other humeral implant component, wherein the interface part is tapered along the longitudinal axis in a direction from the second end to the first end, the interface part being engageable with a tapered interface part of the other humeral implant component to form a tapered connection between the humeral implant component and the other humeral implant component, wherein the humeral implant component further comprises a through hole extending along the longitudinal axis for locking the tapered connection by a longitudinal fastener.

The disclosure relates to a replacement member for a shoulder joint replacement comprising an attachment face on one side of the member, a concave joint surface on a side of the replacement member opposite to the side of the attachment face, and a circumferential face connecting the attachment face and the joint surface. A portion of the concave joint surface is connected to at least a portion of the circumferential face via a chamfered or rounded edge.

A wing-shaped stemless hip joint prosthesis comprises a wing-shaped cup body which can be tightly covered on the femoral neck and the intertrochanter to fix an artificial spherical end and the femoral tissue into a whole, wherein the wing-shaped cup body integrally in an inverted cup form is inversely buckled outside the residual end of the femoral neck and is reinforced through a center lock pin and a tail pin; the wing-shaped cup body is provided with a lesser trochanter protecting wing buckled outside the lesser trochanter and a cup wing covered outside the intertrochanter line to acquire the additional supports and to be more stable accordingly; and the wing-shaped cup body is further provided with a large opening or hole so as to contain the nourishing blood vessels of the femur, accordingly decreasing the damage rate of the nourishing blood vessels and improving the postoperative recovery effect.

A knee prosthesis (e.g., a tibial implant or component) is disclosed. In one embodiment, the tibial implant includes a load bearing component (e.g., a tibial tray) and a support member arranged and configured to be at least partially positioned within an intramedullary canal of a patient's bone. In some embodiments, the tibial implant may also include one or more pegs positioned anteriorly on a bottom surface of the tray and one or more bridges for coupling the pegs to the support member so that loads received by the pegs are transferred to the support member via the bridge. In addition, and/or alternatively, the tibial implant may include one or more chamfers or loading zones for elongating the transition area between the support member and the bottom surface of the tibial tray to extend the area over which the load is transferred.

An implantable medical device is disclosed comprising a thermoplastic composite body having anterior, first lateral, second lateral, posterior, superior, and inferior surfaces, and at least one dense portion and at least one porous portion which are integrally formed. The at least one dense portion is formed of a first thermoplastic polymer matrix that is essentially non-porous, and which is continuous through a thickness dimension from the superior surface to the inferior surface. The at least one porous portion is formed of a porous thermoplastic polymer scaffold having a second thermoplastic polymer matrix which is continuous through the thickness dimension. A method for forming the thermoplastic composite body is disclosed comprising disposing a first powder mixture in a first portion of a mold, disposing a second powder mixture in a second portion of the mold, simultaneously molding the first powder mixture and the second powder mixture, and leaching porogen.

Hard-tissue implants are provided that include a bulk implant, a face, pillars, slots, and at least one support member. The pillars are for contacting a hard tissue. The slots are to be occupied by the hard tissue. The at least one support member is for contacting the hard tissue. The hard-tissue implant has a Young's modulus of elasticity of at least 3 GPa, and has a ratio of the sum of (i) the volumes of the slots to (ii) the sum of the volumes of the pillars and the volumes of the slots of 0.40:1 to 0.90:1. Methods of making and using hard-tissue implants are also provided.

An artificial articulation having stable fixing means for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty is stably attached to the top of a tibia in order to permit a sliding motion of an artificial joint attached to the bottom of a femur. The artificial articulation includes an implant hat part which a curved surface structure that makes surface contact with the artificial joint attached to the bottom of the femur is formed on an upper surface thereof, and protrusions protruding by a predetermined height in a direction of the top of the tibia are formed in large numbers on a lower surface thereof, and a distally extending stem configured to be formed to protrude downward by a predetermined length from the lower surface of the implant hat part, and to be inserted into the tibia by a predetermined depth from the top of the tibia and attached thereto.
