An acetabular cup prosthesis comprises an outer cup (1) and a liner (2), in which an inner surface of the outer cup (1) is provided with an abutting face (11) in a circumferential direction thereof; an outer surface of the liner (2) is provided with a protruding snap ring (21) at a bearing part, and is provided with an elastic locking tongue (22) at a non-bearing part; and the protruding snap ring (21) and the elastic locking tongue (22) both abut against the abutting face (11), such that the liner (2) is self-locked in the outer cup (1).

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.

A method of implanting a medical device including forming a tunnel at least partially through a patient's bone, placing the medical device on the bone so that a stress-diffusion element (i.e., a stem) extending from the medical device at least partially extends into the tunnel, and securing the medical device to the bone. The medical device includes a hemispherical cup having a bone-abutment exterior surface, an interior surface defining a cavity, a circumferential rim extending between the exterior surface and the interior surface, and at least one aperture extending between the exterior surface and the interior surface. The stress-diffusion element is formed to extend from and be oriented with respect to the cup based on whether the surgical implant is to be used on a left side or right side of the patient for reconstruction of the segmental acetabular defect.

Prostheses, acetabular apparatuses, and methods of use are disclosed. In some embodiments, an acetabular apparatus includes an acetabular cup, a pre-assembled liner and flange construct, and a dual mobility bearing (e.g., a dual articulating femoral head component and insert). In one embodiment, the pre-assembled liner and flange construct may be coupled together by a band coupled to the flanges, the band being arranged and configured to be pressed onto an outer surface of a liner. The pre-assembled liner and flange construct being arranged and configured to accept the dual mobility bearing so that it is freely rotatable relative thereto during use.

An orthopedic system for delivery of a therapeutic agent to a bone includes an elongate stem adapted to be inserted into an intramedullary canal, an inlet configured to receive the therapeutic agent, and one or more outlets configured to deliver the therapeutic agent to the bone. The elongate stem may comprise one or more protrusions to engage the bone, and one or more channels extending longitudinally therein, fluidly coupled to the inlet. The therapeutic agent flows from the inlet through the one or more channels and exits into the intramedullary canal through the one or more outlets. The system may be configured to allow one or more dimensions of the system to be adjusted to accommodate the anatomy of a patient.

An orthopaedic implant includes an acetabular bearing and an acetabular shell component. The bearing includes a convex outer surface having a hemispherical surface, a curved lead-in surface, a flat flange surface, a curved relief surface, and a flat tapered surface. The curved relief surface extends inward relative to the flat tapered surface, and the flat flange surface extends outward relative to the flat tapered surface. The shell component includes a concave inner surface having a tapered surface configured to engage the tapered surface of the bearing. An annular groove is defined in the concave inner wall of the shell component and is configured to receive the flat flange surface. Methods for assembling and using the prosthetic implant are also disclosed.

An acetabular prosthesis assembly includes an acetabular shell component and an acetabular bearing component. The shell component includes a concave inner wall having a tapered surface with multiple anti-rotation slots defined therein. The bearing component includes a convex outer wall as well as an annular flange and multiple anti-rotation keys extending radially outward from the outer wall. When the anti-rotation keys are positioned in rotational alignment with the anti-rotation slots, the flange of the bearing component is positioned in contact with the tapered surface of the shell component. When the anti-rotation keys are positioned out of rotational alignment with the anti-rotation slots, the flange is spaced apart from the tapered surface. Methods for assembling and using the acetabular prosthesis assembly are also disclosed.

An orthopedic implant can comprise a structural body, a plug and a frangible connection. The structural body can comprise a first surface, a second surface opposing the first surface, and a through-bore extending from the first surface to the second surface. The through-bore can have a bore surface. The structural body can be formed of a porous material. The plug can be disposed in the through-bore. The frangible connection can link the bore surface and the plug. A method of manufacturing an orthopedic implant can comprise producing a porous structural body having a port, producing a plug for positioning in the port, and producing a plurality of frangible crosspieces within the port to connect the plug to the structural body.

A surgical implant includes a hemispherical cup having a bone-abutment exterior surface defining a convex side of the hemispherical cup and an interior surface defining a concave side of the hemispherical cup with a cavity, and a stress-diffusion element extending directly from the bone-abutment exterior surface of the hemispherical cup at an anteverted orientation to the hemispherical cup. The implant may further include at least one aperture defined by a circumferential surface extending between the bone-abutment exterior surface and the interior surface, the at least one aperture operable to receive a screw therethrough.
