An example device includes a first sensor to sense a first value representative of distance to a bone wall inside a patient; a second sensor configured to sense a second value representative of a distance to an implant component inside the patient; processing circuitry configured to process the first value and the second value; and transmitter circuitry configured to generate an output based on the first value and the second value.

Bone wall tracking and guidance for orthopedic implant placement

An example device includes a surgical item for use in a surgical procedure; and a light on or within the surgical item. In this example, the light is controllable by an external device so as to identify the surgical item for use in the surgical procedure.

Automated instrument or component assistance using externally controlled light sources in orthopedic surgical procedures

An example medical device system includes a plurality of surgical items; and a visualization device configured to present a mixed reality (MR) presentation to a user; and one or more processors configured to select a surgical item of the plurality of surgical items based on a surgical procedure and present, in the MR presentation, virtual information that identifies the selected surgical item among the plurality of surgical items, wherein the virtual information is presented on or adjacent a position of the selected surgical item visible via the visualization device.

Automated instrument or component assistance using mixed reality in orthopedic surgical procedures

In one embodiment, a humeral implant is provided that includes a hollow stem and a mounting end. The hollow stem has a sharp distal edge. The mounting end has a mounting hole and a mounting channel disposed about the mounting hole. The mounting hole is configured to receive a tapered projection of an anatomic articular body. The mounting channel is configured to receive an annular projection of a reverse articular body.

Patient specific humeral implant components

An example method includes displaying, via a visualization device and overlaid on a portion of an anatomy of a patient viewable via the visualization device, a virtual model of the portion of the anatomy obtained from a virtual surgical plan for an orthopedic joint repair surgical procedure to attach a prosthetic to the anatomy; and displaying, via the visualization device and overlaid on the portion of the anatomy, a virtual guide that guides at least one of preparation of the anatomy for attachment of the prosthetic or attachment of the prosthetic to the anatomy.

Virtual guidance for orthopedic surgical procedures

The invention concerns a prosthesis comprising: a stem part comprising: a rod, configured for being inserted into a medullary cavity of a diaphyseal fragment of a fractured long bone, for securing the stem part to the diaphyseal fragment, and an epiphyseal end, fixedly secured to the rod by means of at least one linker leg of the stem part, so that a gap is formed between the epiphyseal end and the rod along said at least one linker leg; and an implant distinct from the stem part and comprising: an internal part located at least partially within the gap, and at least one fastener for fastening epiphyseal fragments of the fractured long bone to the stem part, said at least one fastener being secured to the internal part.

Prosthesis for a fractured long bone

An example method includes registering, via a visualization device, a virtual model of a portion of an anatomy of an ankle of a patient to a corresponding portion of the anatomy of the ankle viewable via the visualization device, the virtual model obtained from a virtual surgical plan for an ankle arthroplasty procedure to attach a prosthetic to the anatomy. The example method also comprises displaying, via the visualization device and overlaid on the portion of the anatomy, a virtual guide that guides at least one of preparation of the anatomy for attachment of the prosthetic or attachment of the prosthetic to the anatomy.

Virtual guidance for ankle surgery procedures

This augment insert (), comprises a coupling member () for securing the augment insert to a glenoid component () of a shoulder prosthesis (), and a body (), comprising a first side (), configured to bear against a scapular side () of the glenoid component when the augment insert is secured to the glenoid component by means of the coupling member; and a second side, opposed to the first side and configured to bear against or be adjacent to a scapula of a patient. According to the invention, the body () comprises at least one breakable portion (), extending from the first side () to the second side and configured to be broken off the body. The aperture () is provided for accommodating an engaging member () of the glenoid component (), said engaging member protruding from a scapular surface () of the scapular side () of the glenoid component () and being configured for securing the shoulder prosthesis to the scapula.

Augment insert, shoulder prosthesis and kit comprising the augment insert

This set comprising: The body is operable to be axially introduced into the glenoid before being coupled indifferently with one or the other of the anatomic and reversed articulating members.

Set for a glenoid implant

This positioning system () for a bone resecting instrumentation comprising a resection driver (), comprises at least one of a gyroscopic sensor () integral in motion with the resection driver () and adapted to sense a deviation angle (&#x3b8;) with respect to a reference direction (X), and at least one positioning marker () marking a fixed position on the reference direction (X), and a depth sensor () integral in motion with the resection driver (), for detecting a resection depth (d) based on the relative longitudinal positions of the positioning marker () and the depth sensor (). The invention also concerns a positioning kit including such a positioning system and a separate electronic device.

Positioning system for a bone resecting instrumentation and positioning kit

The instrumentation makes it possible to implant in a long bone, such as the humerus, the femur or the tibia, an implant, such as an osteosynthesis nail or a prosthetic rod, defining a longitudinal axis and including, in alignment along the longitudinal axis, two opposite terminal parts and a running part that separates the two terminal parts from one another. The instrumentation comprises a targeting ancillary tool that is adapted to target one and/or the other of the terminal parts of the implant, if applicable percutaneously, along at least one targeting axis that is transverse, or even perpendicular, to the longitudinal axis. The targeting ancillary tool is designed to be fastened laterally to the running part of the implant so as to position the targeting ancillary tool and the implant relative to one another in a predetermined configuration.
