A stemless implant for shoulder arthroplasty includes a body having a proximal portion, distal portion, and an outer surface. A cylindrical extrusion is substantially perpendicular to and adjacent the proximal portion. At least a portion of the outer surface is configured to contact bone, the outer bone contacting surface comprising a concave taper. The stemless implant can be sized and shaped for insertion into a metaphysis of a humerus bone without penetrating a diaphysis of the humerus bone. The implant optionally comprises a medial fin, a lateral fin, an anterior fin, and a posterior fin. The medial fin and lateral fin may be thicker than the anterior fin. The fins may taper from the proximal portion to the distal portion.

Shoulder arthroplasty implant system

Exemplary systems and methods encompass suture knot tools and suture knot tools pre-loaded with sutures for use in tendon repair and other surgical procedures. Related methods may include forming a nail knot between a suture and a tissue of a patient during a surgical procedure by drawing tissue into a port sleeve of an arthroscopic system, moving the port sleeve relative to a free end portion of the tissue and a nail knot cinch of a suture, to allow the nail knot cinch of the suture to contact the free end portion of the tissue; and tightening the nail knot cinch of the suture about the free end portion of the tissue, so as to form the nail knot with the suture and the tissue.

Tendon surgery nail knot systems and methods

An implant for shoulder arthroplasty includes a stem and optionally a head component or a cup component. The stem is sized and shaped to fit into an intramedullary canal of the humerus. The proximal portion of the stem has a concave taper and the distal portion of the stem has a taper. The distal taper includes an anterior-posterior taper and a medial-lateral taper. The shape of the stem loads the metaphysis of the humerus with a greater load than the load applied to the diaphysis of the humerus.

The present invention relates to a method for treating a first biological soft tissue. A biological soft tissue implant is attached to a first damaged biological soft tissue such that the biological soft tissue implant is capable of interacting with a second biological soft tissue or bone to prevent the first biological soft tissue from retracting beyond a predetermined position.
