Abstract: A novel and improved elbow prosthesis and method of implanting same including a prosthesis system that has a retaining system. The joint prosthesis system can include an implant, and an alignment guide. The alignment guide can include a post member extending through a central axis of rotation in a prosthesis and a drill guide member having a first limiting member for limiting articular surface removal from a joint. The first limiting member can include a recessed guide for positioning the implant.

Abstract: A novel and improved retaining member can be used with a joint prosthesis which may be implanted with a minimally invasive surgical technique. The retaining member can be configured to releasably link together two or more components of a joint implant in an orientation suitable for implantation. The retaining member can be removed once the joint implant has been positioned within the implant site.

Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of an improved joint prosthesis that can provide the option to improve initial stability without removing the implant or altering the preparation. Embodiments of improved joint implant components can comprise one or more expandable, hollow segmented posts. Methods of implant fixation are also disclosed. Disclosed methods can provide the opportunity for establishing initial biologic fixation (bone ingrowth), and can also provide an adjunct fixation through injecting cement down the center of the post if initial stability is not achieved or is questionable.
