An implant system for implantation at a joint. The implant system includes an implant device with a body portion having first and second ends, and a first elongate member, extending from the first or second end of the body portion. The implant system has a corresponding fixation device with at least one latching element. The first elongate member has at least one cooperating element capable of cooperating with the at least one latching element of the fixation device in use.

Implant and implant system

A composite joint implant device replaces or repairs damaged meniscus tissue in an animal or human. In one embodiment, a composite joint implant comprises a polymeric body which is reinforced with a pre-formed engineered ligature mechanism. The ligature reinforces the polymeric body around the circumference and is used for attaching the device within an animal or human body. The ligature mechanism internally supports the transmission of vertical loads into tensile stresses. The ligature mechanism can be coated with a compatible material to promote integration with the polymeric body and coated with an encapsulation material.

Composite joint implant

An implant system for implantation at a joint, the implant system including an implant device, the implant device comprising a body portion having first and second ends, and a first elongate member, extending from the first or second end of the body portion, the first elongate member being insertable in a bone tunnel in a subject's tibia.

A prosthetic glenoid component () comprising a concave external bearing surface (), a glenoid-contacting surface () opposite to the bearing surface, and a plurality of fixation elements () protruding from said glenoid-contacting surface () oppositely to said bearing surface () for location into a peripheral portion () of a glenoid cavity () to secure the component to the scapula (), wherein a central portion () of the glenoid-contacting surface () is free of fixation elements so as to preserve the integrity of the glenoid vault.

Apparatus for locating an attachment position for a reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament on an attachment surface of a bone comprises locating meansarranged to locate at least one reference surfaceof the bone and guide meansarranged to define the attachment position in two dimensions on the attachment surface relative to the reference surface.

Reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligaments

An implant system for implantation at a joint, the implant system including an implant device which includes a body portion having first and second ends, and a first elongate member, extending from the first or second end of the body portion. The implant system also includes a corresponding fixation device for securing the first elongate member to a subject, and the fixation device includes at least one latching element, the first elongate member includes at least one cooperating element, the at least one cooperating element being capable of cooperating with the at least one latching element of the fixation device in use.

A method of locating an acetabular cup implant () in a pelvis comprises locating a plurality of reference points on the pelvis, defining a target location of the implant relative to the reference points, and placing the implant at the target location. A method of locating a femoral head implant () is also disclosed, together with associated guidance systems.

Hip resurfacing

An implant system for implantation at a joint, the implant system including an implant device (), the implant device comprising a body portion () having first () and second () ends, and a first elongate member (), extending from the first or second end of the body portion, the implant system further comprising a corresponding fixation device () for securing the first elongate member to a subject, the fixation device comprising at least one latching element, the first elongate member comprising at least one cooperating element, the at least one cooperating element being capable of cooperating with said at least one latching element of the fixation device in use.

Apparatus for locating an attachment position for a reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament on an attachment surface of a bone comprises locating means () arranged to locate at least one reference surface () of the bone and guide means () arranged to define the attachment position in two dimensions on the attachment surface relative to the reference surface.
