This disclosure relates to orthopaedic implants and methods for restoring functionality to a bone and/or joint. The implants disclosed herein may be dimensioned and/or positioned relative to a bone to establish a constraint. The implants may include an articular surface establishing the constraint. The articular surface may have different radii of curvature to establish a non-spherical contour.

Constrained orthopaedic implants and methods of repair

A component of an artificial joint according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, inter alia, a hollow tube including bone ingrowth material. Further, the hollow tube is selectively expandable. The bone ingrowth material allows the component to become biologically fixed to adjacent bone. Further, expansion of the hollow tube increases friction between the hollow tube and the adjacent bone, which increases stability.

Components for artificial joints

This disclosure is directed to tibial cutting guide assemblies for preparing a tibia for receiving an arthroplasty implant. Exemplary tibial cutting guide assemblies may include a tibial cutting block for making precise cuts in the tibia, and a slope setting pin for establishing a patient specific tibial slope. The tibial cutting guide assemblies allow for level resection while providing surgical control over internal/external rotation and varus/valgus alignment.
