Techniques are described for guiding a joint replacement surgery. In some examples, a system includes a visualization device comprising one or more sensors; and processing circuitry configured to determine, based on data generated by the one or more sensors, one or more size parameters of a bone resection surface viewable via the visualization device; select, based on the one or more size parameters of the bone resection surface and from a plurality of implants, an implant; and output for display, via the visualization device, a graphical representation of the selected implant relative to the bone resection surface.

Mixed-reality humeral-head sizing and placement

A method of implanting a shoulder prosthesis assembly is provided where the method includes advancing by rotation a base member, that includes a cylindrical member and a helical structure, into a resection face of a humerus of a patient such that the helical structure is submerged in and engages cancellous bone of and does not extend distally of an epiphysis of the humerus, the cylindrical member being accessible at the resection face of the humerus when the base member is so advanced; advancing a locking device into the base member until at least one elongate member spans a space between adjacent portions of the helical structure to contact the cancellous bone in the space; and inserting a retention portion of a reverse articular insert into the cylindrical member of the base member to directly connect the reverse articular insert with the cylindrical member of the base member.

Method of use for stemless prosthesis anchor components

Provided is a method of manufacturing a prosthesis for a fractured long bone of a patient, the method including the steps of: A) providing data representative of the fractured long bone in a patient; B) based on said data, designing the prosthesis specifically to the patient, the prosthesis including a stem part that is configured to secure fragment(s) of the fractured long bone at chosen securing position(s) that will apply chosen mechanical stress onto the bone fragments and reduce the risk of osteonecrosis of the bone fragments.

Method for manufacturing a patient-specific prosthesis for a fractured long bone

A reaming guide for reaming a bone is disclosed. The reaming guide includes a peripheral member configured to mate with a peripheral guide feature; a rigid body extending from the peripheral member to adjacent to a reaming head of a reamer, where the rigid body is configured to be mounted to the reamer proximal of the reaming head; and a depth stop coupled with the rigid body, the depth stop having a distal portion configured to contact a first reamed glenoid surface when the reaming head has fully reamed a second reamed surface to a planned depth, the second reamed surface being angled to the first reamed surface.

Guides and instruments for improving accuracy of glenoid implant placement

Various embodiments disclosed herein relate to stemmed and stemless humeral anchors for use in shoulder arthroplasty procedures. For example, the humeral anchor can include a first end, a second end, and an interior surface extending between the first end and the second end. The interior surface can be disposed about a recess disposed between the first end and the second end. The recess can be configured to secure a coupling of a shoulder articular body directly to the interior surface.

Shoulder prosthesis components and assemblies

Humeral implant

A patient specific shoulder guide is provided that includes a hub and a plurality of peripheral members. Each of the peripheral members has a peripheral member height dimension between the patient specific contact surface and a side of the peripheral member opposite the patient specific contact surface. At least one of the peripheral members is a low profile peripheral member in which the peripheral height dimension is less than the peripheral height dimension of at least one other of the peripheral members or is less than the hub height.

In one embodiment, a humeral implant is provided that includes a hollow stem and a mounting end. The hollow stem has a sharp distal edge. The mounting end has a mounting hole and a mounting channel disposed about the mounting hole. The mounting hole is configured to receive a tapered projection of an anatomic articular body. The mounting channel is configured to receive an annular projection of a reverse articular body.

Patient specific humeral implant components

Provided is a glenoid implant for a shoulder prosthesis that includes: a baseplate including a proximal end, a distal end, an outer periphery, and one or more recesses that extend therethrough adjacent to the outer periphery and extending from the proximal end to the distal end; an internal member disposed in each of the one or more recesses, the internal member defining an aperture extending from the proximal end to the distal end through the internal member; and a screw for each of the at least one internal member, the screw configured to be placed through the aperture, the screw having an external threaded surface. The internal threaded surface of the internal member has more thread starts than the external threaded surface of the screw.

Reverse shoulder systems and methods

A shoulder assembly is provided which includes a base member including a collar; a helical structure extending from the collar in a distal direction; and a first pathway projecting distally of the collar and through the helical structure adjacent to an inner periphery thereof, the first pathway being generally transverse to the helical structure and extending in a space between successive portions of the helical structure; and a locking device comprising a proximal support and a first arm projecting distally of the proximal support, the first arm configured to be disposed in the first pathway projecting distally of the collar when the proximal support is disposed adjacent to the collar; where the first arm is disposed through bone in the space between successive portions of the helical structure when the shoulder assembly is implanted.

Stemless prosthesis anchor component

The invention concerns a method for manufacturing a prosthesis () for a fractured long bone of a patient, the method comprising the steps of: A) providing data representative of the fractured long bone, the fractured long bone comprising a diaphyseal fragment () comprising a medullary cavity (); B) based on said data, designing the prosthesis specifically to the patient, the prosthesis comprising a stem part () configured to be inserted into the medullary cavity, step B) comprising: a sub-step of choosing, specifically to the patient, a contact zone () of the medullary cavity onto which a respective chosen mechanical stress is planned to be applied by the stem part, and a sub-step of designing the stem part so that the stem part may be inserted into the medullary cavity and thus apply the chosen mechanical stress to said contact zone; and C) manufacturing the prosthesis designed at step B).

Patient-specific bone fracture prostheses and methods of making the same

Embodiments of the present invention include a convertible prosthesis that is capable of conversion from a humeral head replacement to a reverse reconstruction without any removal of parts integrated into the patient's bony anatomy (e.g. implant stems). A desired overall implant inclination angle may be achieved by matching various implant stems with various reverse inserts, thus permitting a resection surface to be matched with an implant stem selection while also permitting a desired overall implant inclination angle to be achieved through the selection of an appropriate insert.
