An example device includes a first sensor to sense a first value representative of distance to a bone wall inside a patient; a second sensor configured to sense a second value representative of a distance to an implant component inside the patient; processing circuitry configured to process the first value and the second value; and transmitter circuitry configured to generate an output based on the first value and the second value.

Bone wall tracking and guidance for orthopedic implant placement

An example device includes a surgical item for use in a surgical procedure; and a light on or within the surgical item. In this example, the light is controllable by an external device so as to identify the surgical item for use in the surgical procedure.

Automated instrument or component assistance using externally controlled light sources in orthopedic surgical procedures

A humeral anchor for a shoulder prosthesis is disclosed. The humeral anchor includes a distal portion configured to be anchored in a proximal region of a humerus and a proximal portion, the proximal portion including a proximal face, where the proximal face includes an engagement feature configured to directly couple to a reverse shoulder insert having a concave proximal portion, and wherein the proximal face is further configured to directly couple with an anatomical shoulder insert having a convex proximal portion.

Convertible stem/fracture stem

An example medical device system includes a plurality of surgical items; and a visualization device configured to present a mixed reality (MR) presentation to a user; and one or more processors configured to select a surgical item of the plurality of surgical items based on a surgical procedure and present, in the MR presentation, virtual information that identifies the selected surgical item among the plurality of surgical items, wherein the virtual information is presented on or adjacent a position of the selected surgical item visible via the visualization device.

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.

Systems for reverse shoulder implants

An example method includes displaying, via a visualization device and overlaid on a portion of an anatomy of a patient viewable via the visualization device, a virtual model of the portion of the anatomy obtained from a virtual surgical plan for an orthopedic joint repair surgical procedure to attach a prosthetic to the anatomy; and displaying, via the visualization device and overlaid on the portion of the anatomy, a virtual guide that guides at least one of preparation of the anatomy for attachment of the prosthetic or attachment of the prosthetic to the anatomy.

Virtual guidance for orthopedic surgical procedures

The invention concerns a prosthesis comprising: a stem part comprising: a rod, configured for being inserted into a medullary cavity of a diaphyseal fragment of a fractured long bone, for securing the stem part to the diaphyseal fragment, and an epiphyseal end, fixedly secured to the rod by means of at least one linker leg of the stem part, so that a gap is formed between the epiphyseal end and the rod along said at least one linker leg; and an implant distinct from the stem part and comprising: an internal part located at least partially within the gap, and at least one fastener for fastening epiphyseal fragments of the fractured long bone to the stem part, said at least one fastener being secured to the internal part.

Prosthesis for a fractured long bone

An example method includes registering, via a visualization device, a virtual model of a portion of an anatomy of an ankle of a patient to a corresponding portion of the anatomy of the ankle viewable via the visualization device, the virtual model obtained from a virtual surgical plan for an ankle arthroplasty procedure to attach a prosthetic to the anatomy. The example method also comprises displaying, via the visualization device and overlaid on the portion of the anatomy, a virtual guide that guides at least one of preparation of the anatomy for attachment of the prosthetic or attachment of the prosthetic to the anatomy.

Virtual guidance for ankle surgery procedures

A modular shoulder prosthesis is provided. The modular prosthesis includes a stem, an anatomic insert, and a reverse insert. The stem is a unitary body that includes a distal shaft portion and a proximal portion. The proximal portion includes a stem face configured to directly couple to both the anatomic insert and reverse insert. The stem face includes a first engagement feature configured to couple directly to the reverse insert and a second engagement feature configured to couple directly to the anatomic insert. The stem can also include a metaphyseal portion between the shaft portion and proximal portion designed for use in humeral fracture repair procedures. The metaphyseal portion can include a medial arm and two lateral arms extending between the shaft portion and proximal portion, A window can be defined between the medial arm and the lateral arms, and a gap can be formed between the lateral arms.
