  • Publication number: 20250090327
    Abstract: A system for replacing a natural articular surface on a bone may include a bone anchoring component with a bone engagement surface securable to a resected surface of the bone, an arthroplasty prosthesis, and a component attachment feature positioned intermediate a prosthesis attachment feature and the bone anchoring component. The arthroplasty prosthesis may include a joint-facing side with an articular surface, a bone-facing side opposite the joint-facing side, and the prosthesis attachment feature on the bone-facing side with an outer prosthesis projection including a rotary recess formed therein. The component attachment feature may include a component projection shaped for reception within the rotary recess. The component attachment feature may rotatably couple with the prosthesis attachment feature proximally, and couple with the bone anchoring component distally, enabling the bone anchoring component to rotatably move relative to the bone-facing side of the arthroplasty prosthesis.

  • Patent number: 12053387
    Abstract: A knee joint prosthesis may be for implantation in a knee of a patient. The knee prosthesis may comprise a tibial component configured to be implanted on the tibia and a femoral component configured to be implanted on the femur. The femoral component may comprise a medial condyle with a medial articulation surface and a lateral condyle with a lateral articulation surface. The medial articulation surface and the lateral articulation surface may be shaped substantially symmetrically to each other across a femoral component plane bisecting the femoral component. The tibial component may comprise an articulation surface with a medial articulation side configured to articulate with the medial articulation surface and a lateral articulation side configured to articulate with the lateral articulation surface. The medial articulation side and the lateral articulation side may be shaped substantially asymmetrically to each other across a tibial component plane bisecting the tibial component.

  • Publication number: 20240173140
    Abstract: A knee joint prosthesis system for implantation in a first knee joint of a patient. The first knee joint has a condition. The knee joint prosthesis system includes a tibial baseplate component, a femoral component having a femoral articulation surface, and a tibial insert. The tibial insert includes a tibial articulation surface configured to articulate with the femoral articulation surface. The tibial articulation surface includes a medial tibial compartment asymmetrical to a lateral tibial compartment. The tibial articulation surface is shaped to cooperate with the femoral articulation surface to adapt kinematics of the first knee joint having the condition and the tibial articulation surface is also suitable for implantation in a second knee joint on a second side, the second knee joint lacking the condition.

  • Publication number: 20240091014
    Abstract: An arthroplasty system may include an arthroplasty prosthesis with a joint-facing side having an articular surface and a bone-facing side having a prosthesis attachment feature, a bone anchoring component, and a component attachment feature configured to translatably couple the bone anchoring component to the prosthesis attachment feature. In a first unlocked configuration, the component attachment feature and the prosthesis attachment feature may be translatably coupled with each other enabling the bone anchoring component to translatably move with respect to the bone-facing side of the arthroplasty prosthesis. In a second locked configuration, at least one of the component attachment feature and the prosthesis attachment feature may expand and secure a relative position of the component attachment feature to the prosthesis attachment feature and prevent the bone anchoring component from translatably moving relative to the bone-facing side of the arthroplasty prosthesis.
