A joint prosthesis for mounting in a first bone and presenting a prosthetic joint surface for engaging an opposing joint surface of a second bone, the joint prosthesis comprising a sleeve which is adapted for partial disposition in an opening formed in the first bone; a center adapter which is adapted for disposition within the sleeve and a prosthetic joint surface mounted to the center' adapter; wherein the disposition of the center adapter is adjustable, both longitudinally and rotationally, relative to the sleeve, so that the disposition of the 15 prosthetic joint surface is adjustable, both longitudinally and rotationally, relative to the opposing joint surface of the second bone.

Method and apparatus for restoring a joint, including the provision and use of a longitudinally-adjustable and rotationally-adjustable joint prosthesis

Apparatus for repairing a shoulder joint, including a baseplate having a base portion having a medially-facing surface and a laterally-facing surface, and an opening passing through the medially-facing and laterally-facing surfaces for receiving a screw; and an anterior flange having an anteriorly-facing surface and a posteriorly-facing surface, the anterior flange extending away from, and perpendicular to, the medially-facing surface, the anterior flange having an opening passing through the anteriorly-facing and posteriorly-facing surfaces for accepting a screw; an articulating surface component for mounting to the laterally-facing surface for covering the laterally-facing surface; and an anterior cover for mounting to the anteriorly-facing surface and configured to lock the articulating surface component to the base portion, such that when the anterior cover is mounted to the anterior flange, the articulating surface component is locked to the base portion.

Method and apparatus for restoring a shoulder joint and/or another joint

A joint prosthesis for mounting in a first bone and presenting a prosthetic joint surface for engaging an opposing joint surface of a second bone, the joint prosthesis comprising:

A surgical system for stabilizing a first bone segment to a second bone segment, the system comprising a plate having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is configured to be secured to the first bone segment and the second end is configured to be secured to the second bone segment, and further wherein the plate has a structural integrity sufficient to stabilize the first bone segment to the second bone segment. Further embodiments comprise a supplemental plate for stabilizing a third bone segment to the second bone segment.

Method and apparatus for securing an object to bone and/or for stabilizing bone

A fixation augmentation device (FAD) comprising a generally tubular body having a first end and a second end, said body having an opening adapted to receive a screw therein; a collar attached to the first end of said body, said collar having a non-circular shape and having an opening which is aligned with the opening in said body; and at least one flange disposed at the second end of said body, wherein said at least one flange is extendable from said body in response to a screw being inserted into the hole of said body.
