Methods for treating tendinopathy and tendonitis and for preventing tendinopathy are disclosed.

Intervention for tendinopathy

The present invention relates to a set of tools and accessories used for properly positioning a stemmed humeral component, and/or a humeral stem provisional, within a canal in the humerus. The set of tools and accessories includes one or more fin clamps that are configured to be temporarily attached to a fin on the humeral component or the provisional; a ruler that is configured to be attached to the arm of the fin clamp, a fixation pin and pin driver configured to be used with the other tools for marking a position on the humerus; and one or more sleeves that are configured to slide over the stem of the humeral stem provisional to maintain it in the desired position.

Method and instruments for positioning humeral component during shoulder arthroplasty

An orthopaedic instrument and a method for its use in sizing a glenoid implant anchor site and for pressurizing bone cement in the anchor site. The instrument has a shaft with a handle on one end thereof and a pressure plate on the other end thereof. An implant site probe, corresponding in shape to the glenoid implant anchor, extends outwardly from a bone facing surface of the pressure plate. A seal against the bone facing surface surrounds the implant site probe. Forcing the implant site probe into the implant site filled with bone cement forces bone cement into the cancellous bone surrounding the implant site.

Instruments and a method are provided for reducing the gap between an implant head and the underlying resected bone surface to produce a more anatomic joint reconstruction. This is accomplished by providing a reamer for counter boring the resected surface to receive the collar so that a portion of the collar is recessed into the resected surface. The present invention permits the flexibility and stability of a collared two-piece implant while maintaining the close fit of a unitary implant.

Instrument and method for seating prosthesis

The invention is directed to an orthopaedic retractor frame assembly (10) for use during orthopaedic surgery at an incision site associated with a limb of a patient. The retractor frame assembly (10) includes a retractor frame (16) for placement adjacent the incision site. A limb attachment device (22) is connected to the retractor frame (16) and is configured for connection with a limb of the patient, whereby the retractor frame (16) is held at a desired orientation relative to the incision site. In addition, the retractor frame assembly (10) provides for retractor instruments (18) to be adjustably positioned relative to the retractor frame (16).

Clamp assembly for use with orthopaedic retractor frame assembly

The invention is directed to an orthopaedic implant for implantation into a bone at a joint. The orthopaedic implant 10 includes an articulating surface 20 for mating with a complementary implant 30. The orthopaedic implant includes a body 12 defining the articulating surface. The articulating surface 20 includes a conforming surface 22 bounded by a translational surface 24. The conforming surface 22 allows rotational movement between the articulating surface and the complementary implant, and the translational surface 24 allows rolling and translational movement between the articulating surface and the complementary implant. The conforming surface 22 is tangent at a periphery thereof to the translational surface 24.
