A system for sizing the resected surface to provide metaphyseal referencing and to properly guide a tool into a central portion of the canal in the diaphysis. The system can include a sizing feature to approximate the size of the metaphysis. The system can also include a base configured to contact the metaphysis and a guide feature configured to guide a tool along a central portion of the canal in the diaphysis.

Metaphyseal referencing technique and instrument

Various embodiments disclosed herein relate to stemmed and stemless humeral anchors for use in shoulder arthroplasty procedures. For example, the humeral anchor can include a first end, a second end, and an interior surface extending between the first end and the second end. The interior surface can be disposed about a recess disposed between the first end and the second end. The recess can be configured to secure a coupling of a shoulder articular body directly to the interior surface.

Shoulder prosthesis components and assemblies

A tibial spacer paddle comprises a spacer block comprising opposing bearing surfaces, an alignment slot extending into the spacer block; and a handle extending from the spacer block. The spacer block can include feet for passively engaging the femur or pegs for actively engaging a femoral component so that the spacer block is linked to the femur while the tibia rotates. A tibial spacer system comprises a provisional component having an alignment tab extending from a body and an alignment indicator located on the body, a femoral component and a pin extending from the femoral component. The pin can engage the alignment tab so that the provisional component is linked to the femur while the tibia rotates. In addition to or alternatively to the alignment tab and pin, the provisional component can include a tibial plate that can be rotationally connected to the provisional component.

Prosthetic knee implant systems and methods with linked tibial rotation

Humeral implant

An inserter includes a first end, a second end, and a body extending between the first end and the second end. A first impacting surface is disposed at the first end, and a second impacting surface is disposed adjacent to the second end. An interface disposed at the second end and is configured to engage an implant. The first impacting surface is configured to direct a first impacting force along the body of the inserter in a first direction, and the second impacting surface is configured to direct a second impacting force along the body in a second direction that is different from the first direction. Methods of use also are disclosed.
