A patient-specific registration jig for registering an orthopaedic surgical instrument with a bony anatomy of a patient includes a head and an adaptor coupled to the head. The head includes a patient-specific contact surface configured to contact a portion of the patient's bony anatomy such that the head can be coupled to the patient's bony anatomy in a unique position. The adaptor includes an elongated shank having a first end coupled to the head and a second end and an adaptor end attached to the second end of the elongated shank. The adaptor end is configured to be received by a clutch of the orthopaedic surgical instrument. A method for registering the orthopaedic surgical instrument using the patient-specific registration jig is also disclosed.

A system for use during an orthopaedic surgical procedure includes a femoral broach, an acetabular cup component, and an acetabular alignment guide. The femoral broach includes a mounting post positioned at a superior end of an elongated body. The cup component includes a distal rim and a curved surface extending inwardly from the rim to define a cavity. The alignment guide includes a distal end configured to be coupled to the mounting post and a proximal end configured to be coupled to the distal rim. When coupled to the femoral broach, the guide instrument is sized to orient the acetabular cup component relative to the femoral broach. The acetabular cup component may be a prosthetic cup component or a trial instrument corresponding to the prosthetic cup component.

Surgical instrument and method of positioning an acetabular prosthetic component

A prosthetic knee system includes a tibial tray, a non-rotating tibial insert, and a rotating tibial insert. The non-rotating tibial insert and the rotating tibial insert are selectively coupleable to the tibial tray such that a fixed or a mobile orthopaedic prosthesis may be configured. In some embodiments, the tibial tray may be a fixed or mobile tibial tray. Additionally, in some embodiments, the prosthetic knee system may include a femoral component.

Mobile/fixed prosthetic knee systems

A glenoid implant assembly is provided. The assembly includes a first component for attachment to the glenoid fossa of a scapula. The component defines an assembly face of the component. The assembly also includes a second component removably secured to the first component. The second component includes an assembly face of the second component. The assembly face of the second component is in close approximation to the assembly face of the first component. The second component is attachable to the first component in a direction generally normal to the assembly faces.

Modular glenoid prosthesis and associated method

A surgical instrument has an elongate guide member and a reciprocable member. The elongate guide member provides a protected path of travel for an implant from outside the body to a position near a damaged tissue site. The reciprocable member is movable along the elongate guide member to push the implant along its path of travel. The reciprocable member can include an implant carrier. The implant can be an orthopaedic implant for repair or regeneration of soft tissue at a damaged joint site. The implant can be larger than the transverse dimension of the elongate guide member and folded or rolled to fit within the elongate guide member. Use of this instrument protects the implant from damage as it is delivered to the damaged joint site. The invention also includes a surgical method for delivering an implant to a damaged tissue site.

Implant delivery instrument

A prosthetic knee system includes a tibial tray, a non-rotating tibial insert, and a rotating tibial insert. The non-rotating tibial insert and the rotating tibial insert are selectively couplable to the tibial tray such that a fixed or a mobile orthopaedic prosthesis may be configured. In some embodiments, the tibial tray may be a fixed or mobile tibial tray. Additionally, in some embodiments, the prosthetic knee system may include a femoral component.

A slide instrument has a longitudinal slide portion and spaced walls defining longitudinal channels. The slide instrument may be sized so that it can be inserted through standard arthroscopic portals to position the distal end of the slide instrument at a damaged tissue site. The slide instrument may be used to deliver an implant to the damaged tissue site. The implant has edges that fit within the longitudinal channels so that the implant can be moved along the slide portion to the distal end of the slide to deliver the implant to the damaged tissue site. The shape of the slide instrument protects the implant from damage as the implant is delivered from outside the patient's body to the damaged tissue site.

Slide and kit for delivering implants

A articulating hemiarthroplasty prosthesis () for use in arthroplasty is provided. The prosthesis includes a stem () for implantation at least partially within the medullary canal () of a long bone () and a collar (). The collar () is operably associated with the stem () and extends outwardly therefrom. At least a portion of the collar () includes a resorbable material. The prosthesis includes a head () and a cup () for engagement with the head ().

Prosthesis with resorbable collar

A kit for assembly of a modular joint prosthesis () includes at least two shank/body elements () sized for insertion into the shank of the bone and at least two head members () sized to replace one bearing surface of the joint. Each shank/body element () has a collar () that has a shallow width and a circular plan view and that is formed to overhang a resected level of the bone. The collar () has a male taper on its side wall (). Each head member () has a first geometric axis () therethrough and defines a part spherical cavity () with a skirt () extending about the cavity (). The skirt () provides a female taper for receiving and providing a mechanical connection with the male taper on the side wall () of each collar (). A second axis extends () through the skirt (). The first axis () and second axis () may be coincident or offset from one another.

Large taper modular shoulder prosthesis

A ball and socket joint prosthesis for use in arthroplasty is provided. The prosthesis includes a body for implantation at least partially within the medullary canal of a long bone. The long bone defines trabeculae in the proximal cancellous bone and lamellae in the cortical bone. The body includes a proximal portion thereof and a distal portion. The proximal portion has a medial periphery and includes surface features on a substantial portion of its proximal portion. The surface features are positioned to optimally transfer load from the prosthesis to the long bone.

Prosthesis with feature aligned to trabeculae

A medical procedure includes providing a prosthesis which includes (i) a body portion having a rear surface and a bearing surface, and (ii) an anchor peg including a shaft extending from the rear surface of the body portion, wherein the anchor peg includes a plurality of outwardly extending fins secured to the shaft, and further wherein the plurality of outwardly extending fins each possesses a first diameter. The medical procedure further includes creating an anchor hole in a natural bone, the anchor hole possessing a second diameter which is less than the first diameter. In addition, the method procedure includes positioning the anchor peg within the anchor hole so that each of the plurality of outwardly extending fins deforms so as to possess (i) a concave side which faces an open end of the anchor hole, and (ii) a convex side that faces a closed end of the anchor hole.

A dispensing device for granule bone graft of varying and/or irregular shape is characterized by a body defining a handle/hopper portion, a dispensing portion, and a feed system. The subject device permits reloading or refilling of bone graft at the time of use of the device. The bone graft dispensing device also accepts vials of bone graft. The vials are loaded onto and releasably retained by the dispensing device. In both forms, the feed system allows a controlled and/or variable rate of flow of bone graft during dispensing. The subject device may be made disposable as well as re-usable. The subject device is also modular in design allowing easy assembly/disassembly. The is subject bone graft dispenser is particularly suited for the dispensing of dry, particulate and/or granule bone graft. Particularly, the bone graft dispensing device is especially suited for the dispensing of particulate or granule bone graft having particulates or granules of various and/or irregular size, shape and combinations thereof.
