A bone plug compression instrument that can be used to reshape includes a first compression element having a first cavity, a second compression element having a second cavity, and a base portion for supporting the first and second compression elements. The second compression element moves between first and second positions. In the first position, the bone plug compression instrument forms an open configuration, in which the first and second cavities are spaced apart from each other allowing the bone plug in a substantially non-compressed state to be inserted in a space between the first and second cavities In the second position, the bone plug compression instrument forms a closed configuration, in which the first and second cavities press against each other to form a combined cavity for compressing the bone plug received in the combined cavity. The combined cavity has at least a partially converging shape.

Bone plug compression instrument

The present invention relates to a modular knee prosthesis assembly kit for replacement of resected articular surfaces of a distal femur of a first patient side. The kit comprises at least one bi-condylar component sized and shaped to substantially replace resected posterior and distal condylar bone portions; and at least a first trochlear groove component and a second trochlear groove component, each sized and shaped to replace a resected trochlear groove bone portion. The first trochlear groove component comprises a first patella articulation path defining a first trochlear groove direction angle. The second trochlear groove component comprises a second patella articulation path defining a second trochlear groove direction angle. An assembly of the bi-condylar component and one of the first and second trochlear groove components forms a substantially complete femoral knee prosthesis. The second trochlear groove direction angle is different from the first trochlear groove direction angle.

Modular knee prosthesis

A device for implantation in a bone is disclosed, wherein this device is a component part of a system, for controlled loading of the reconstructure anterior crucual ligament (ACL) of a knee joint. The device may comprise an outer body, which is provided with a damping mechanism between a distal end and a proximal end. Arranged inside the damping mechanism there is at least one securing element for fixing at least one thread which, at the proximal end of the device, is guided out from the outer body through an aperture in the base.

Device for implanting a system for loading a cruciate ligament in a knee joint

The invention relates to a system for controlled loading of a reconstructed human or animal tissue during the healing phase, comprising an anchor element () for implanting in a first bone (), at least one connecting element (), and one retaining element () for the at least one connecting element () on a second bone (). The anchor element () and/or the connecting element () and/or the retaining element () are made of self-dissolving bioresorbable material.
