Abstract: A dental augment system includes a porous metal augment, a solid metal insert, and a dental implant. The porous metal augment is sized for use in mandibular or maxillar bone. The porous metal material of the augment facilitates and promotes ingrowth of the surrounding bone into the porous metal structure, thereby rebuilding a suitable foundation for affixation of dental implants. The solid metal insert can be configured to be received within an insert bore of the porous metal augment and a dental implant can be received within and theradably engaged with a threaded bore of the solid metal insert.

Abstract: An apparatus for removal of a femoral implant may include a handle portion and a cutting blade opposite the handle portion. The cutting blade may include a cutting edge, wherein the cutting edge includes a non-linear shape to substantially match at least a portion of a profile of the femoral implant to be removed.

Abstract: A porous metal augment is sized for use in mandibular or maxillar bone. The porous metal material of the augment facilitates and promotes ingrowth of the surrounding bone into the porous metal structure, thereby rebuilding a suitable foundation for affixation of dental implants. A non-porous core or insert can be embedded within the porous metal body of the augment, and can be made of a material suitable for firm threaded fixation of dental implants thereto. For example, the metal core can be formed of a titanium structure that has sufficient strength and resiliency to form a firm and long lasting threaded connection with a threaded stem of a dental implant.

Abstract: A modular component for a prosthetic implant includes a first member, in the form of a tibial tray member, and a second member, in the form of a stem member, joined together by the insertion of a tapered post on the stem member into a tapered receptacle in the tibial tray member, the relative tapers and relative dimensions of the post and the receptacle being such that the inner surface of the receptacle is seated against the outer surface of the post at least adjacent one end of the receptacle and the corresponding end of the post, and a stabilizing mechanism urges annular segments of the post, adjacent the other end of the post, toward engagement with the inner surface of the receptacle adjacent the corresponding other end of the receptacle to stabilize the connection between the tibial tray member and the stem member.

Abstract: A tibial component of a prosthetic knee implant has a tibial tray, a post extending axially downwardly from a generally laterally central location beneath the tibial tray, and a keel including flanges extending laterally outwardly from the post and making an angle with one another so as to be directed toward relatively denser portions of the bone of the proximal tibia, and a plurality of ribs extending axially along each flange and spaced laterally from one another along the flange for enhancing the affixation and stability of the tibial component when implanted in the proximal tibia.

Abstract: An intramedullary alignment rod for properly orienting and supporting a cutting guide or tool has a complex geometry which includes at least two differently sized sections, the smaller of which is at the proximal end of the rod. The complex geometry of the rod maximizes the rigidity of the rod while avoiding the trauma of an interference fit, and facilitates stabilization of the intramedullary rod in the medullary canal.
