A collar arranged to couple to a prosthetic component for implantation at the end of a long bone, the prosthetic component having a distal portion arranged to couple to the bone and a proximal neck portion arranged to couple to an articulation component. The collar comprises a plate including a neck hole to receive a neck portion, such that the collar can rotate about the neck portion. The collar further comprises a plurality of attachment portions for coupling the plate to bone fragments or soft tissues. The collar is lockable to the neck portion to prevent further rotation. A prosthesis comprising a combination of a collar, a prosthetic component and an articulation component, and a surgical method of using the collar are also disclosed.

Rotatable collar for a prosthesis

A method of performing joint arthroplasty on a patient with a bone fragment of a bone at least partially separated from the bone in one embodiment includes providing a prosthetic component with a bone connecting portion and a bone fragment portion, implanting the bone connecting portion of the prosthetic component in the bone, and attaching the bone fragment to the bone using the bone fragment portion.

Orthopaedic stem with protrusion and associated surgical procedure

A collar () arranged to couple to a prosthetic component for implantation at the end of a long bone, the prosthetic component having a distal portion arranged to couple to the bone and a proximal neck portion arranged to couple to an articulation component. The collar () comprises a plate including a neck hole () to receive a neck portion, such that the collar can rotate about the neck portion. The collar () further comprises a plurality of attachment portions () for coupling the plate to bone fragments or soft tissues. The collar () is lockable to the neck portion to prevent further rotation. A prosthesis comprising a combination of a collar (), a prosthetic component and an articulation component, and a surgical method of using the collar () are also disclosed.

A first articulating member for use with a second articulating member to form a prosthesis for use in joint arthroplasty for a joint formed between adjacent first and second bones in which a bone fragment having an exterior surface has separated from the first bone is provided. The first articulating member includes an articulating portion having an articulation surface for articulation with the second articulating member and an attaching portion connected to the articulating portion for attachment to the first bone. The first articulating member also includes a fragment portion connected to at least one of the articulating portion and the insertion portion. The fragment portion includes a surface for contact with the external periphery of the bone fragment.

A reamer arranged to ream a surface of a bone is provided. The reamer includes a guide portion having a non-reaming lower surface configured to slidably engage a corresponding guide reamed portion of the bone and an eccentric reaming lobe. The reaming lobe extends from part of the periphery of the guide portion. The reaming lobe has a reaming lower surface configured to ream bone outside of the guide reamed portion of the bone when the guide portion is rotated and urged towards the guide reamed portion of the bone. A second reamer may also be provided to form a reaming kit.

Manual glenoid reamer

An alignment system for aligning a reaming guide during insertion into a cavity of a bone is provided. The bone has a resected surface and the cavity defines a cavity axis. The system includes a reaming guide that includes an elongate stem portion having a stem axis, a neck portion extending from the stem portion at an incline with respect to the stem axis, and an alignment instrument. The alignment instrument includes a handle defining a handle axis, the handle being releasably couplable to the reaming guide such that the handle axis is in a predetermined relationship with the stem axis. The alignment instrument further comprises a plane finder slidably coupled to the handle, the plane finder comprising a surface defined by a plane that intersects the axis of the handle at an angle having a predetermined relationship with the angle at which a resection surface of the bone intersects the cavity axis.
