Various embodiments disclosed relate to curable calcium phosphate compositions for use with porous structures and methods of using the same. In various embodiments, the present invention provides a curable calcium phosphate composition or a cured product thereof, with the curable calcium phosphate composition including calcium phosphate and a perfusion modifier. In various embodiments, the present invention provides an apparatus comprising a porous structure at least partially in contact with the curable calcium phosphate composition or a cured product thereof. The porous structure can include a porous substrate including a plurality of ligaments that define pores of the porous substrate, and a biocompatible metal coating on the plurality of ligaments of the porous substrate.

Curable calcium phosphate compositions for use with porous structures and methods of using the same

An orthopedic system according to one embodiment of the disclosure comprises a first trial member capable of forming a broach cavity in a first bone of a patient. A second trial member is removeably coupleable to the first trial member in a fixed alignment with respect to the trial member. An alignment member is removeably coupleable in a fixed alignment with respect to the first trial member. The alignment member comprises indicia configured to provide for alignment of the alignment member with respect to at least one of the first bone and a second bone of the patient. The alignment of the second trial member with respect to the first trial member when coupled to the first trial member corresponds to the alignment of the alignment member with respect to the first trial member when coupled with the first trial member.

Trialing for prosthetic component

A method for implanting porous spacers () for foot and ankle fusion between separate bones of a joint or between two segments of a single bone following an osteotomy procedure. Such spacers may be used in conjunction with an ankle resection system which includes a resection frame (and a resection guide (). The resection frame can be anchored to the distal tibia and/or the talus and provides an opening () through which a bone cutting element can pass for cutting underlying bone. The resection guide can include one or more cutting slots () and the resection guide can be coupled to the resection frame with the one or more cutting slots positioned over the opening in the resection frame so that the bone cutting element can pass through the one or more cutting slots and through the opening in the resection frame for cutting the distal tibia and/or the talus.
