Publication number: 20230165684Abstract: An implant assembly may include a first component having a proximal plate and a distal portion extending from the proximal plate, a first screw of a first type, and a first screw of a second type. The proximal plate may have a proximal face, a distal face configured to abut bone, and a periphery. The proximal plate may define a plurality of apertures. An opening may be defined by the proximal plate and extend through the distal portion. Each of the plurality of apertures may be disposed between the opening and the periphery. The first screw of the first type may be sized and configured to be received in the opening and engage bone. The first screw of the second type may be sized and configured to be received in at least one of the plurality of apertures.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2023Publication date: June 1, 2023Applicant: HOWMEDICA OSTEONICS CORP.Inventors: Bradley Grant EMERICK, Brian M.

Patent number: 11389300Abstract: A humeral anchor assembly is provided that includes a humeral anchor and at least one screw. The humeral anchor is configured to form a part of or support a part of a shoulder prosthesis. The humeral anchor has a distal portion configured to be anchored in a proximal region of a humerus and a proximal portion. The proximal portion includes a proximal face configured to engage an articular component within a periphery thereof. The proximal portion also includes at least one aperture disposed adjacent to the periphery. The at least one screw is disposed through the at least one aperture. The screw has a first end portion engaged with the proximal portion of the anchor and a second end portion disposed in or through cortical bone of the humerus.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2019Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: HOWMEDICA OSTEONICS CORP.Inventors: Bradley Grant Emerick, Brian M.

Publication number: 20220117746Abstract: A glenoid component for coupling to a scapula of a subject includes a body. The body includes an articulation surface adapted to articulate with a humeral component, and the body further includes a distal surface adapted to face the glenoid of the scapula. The distal surface includes a base surface portion adapted to face a first portion of the glenoid. The distal surface further includes an augmented surface portion adapted to face a second portion of the glenoid. The base surface portion and the augmented surface portion define an obtuse angle therebetween.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2021Publication date: April 21, 2022Applicant: HOWMEDICA OSTEONICS CORP.Inventors: Brian C. Hodorek, Pierric Deransart, Bradley Grant Emerick, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Jean-Pierre Farron, Robert Courtney, JR., Travis James Geels

Patent number: 10080664Abstract: Modular humeral implants and methods of use. A humeral implant can include a stem portion, a metaphyseal portion, a locking element, and an intermediate portion. The intermediate portion can include at least one spacer. Each spacer can include a proximal engagement feature, a distal engagement feature, a lumen extending longitudinally through the spacer, and a pin slidable within the lumen of the spacer. Distal movement of a locking element in the metaphyseal portion can translate the pin of each spacer to secure the metaphyseal portion, the intermediate portion, and the stem portion in a locked configuration.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2017Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignee: Tornier, Inc.Inventors: Bradley Grant Emerick, Brian C.
