Abstract: A stemless implant for shoulder arthroplasty includes a body having a proximal portion, distal portion, and an outer surface. A cylindrical extrusion is substantially perpendicular to and adjacent the proximal portion. At least a portion of the outer surface is configured to contact bone, the outer bone contacting surface comprising a concave taper. The stemless implant can be sized and shaped for insertion into a metaphysis of a humerus bone without penetrating a diaphysis of the humerus bone. The implant optionally comprises a medial fin, a lateral fin, an anterior fin, and a posterior fin. The medial fin and lateral fin may be thicker than the anterior fin. The fins may taper from the proximal portion to the distal portion.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes surgical instruments for orthopedic surgery, the instruments including a variety of components including one or more of a first and second arm, a first and second side member, a first and second link member, a first and second jaw member, and/or a guide assembly.

Abstract: Disclosed is a positioning instrument that includes: two branches equipped at the proximal end thereof with an opposite jaw between which the graft is positioned, the two branches moving closer to one another by a translation movement; and a drill bush including a first hole and a second hole, separated by a distance and sized for the passage and guidance of a bone drill bit. Also disclosed are an instrument kit as well as a method for attaching a graft.

Abstract: A method for fixing a bone graft on a shoulder bone includes, before selection and use of a fixation device, a preoperative plan including collecting a preoperative imaging of a shoulder of a patient; virtually 3D modeling the shoulder; identifying at least one anatomical structure; and preoperative planning by one of sizing the graft, positioning the graft on the host bone, positioning the fixation device, and/or selecting the fixation device.

Abstract: Disclosed is a bone screw fixation device including two screws and only two. The bone screw includes: a first screw provided at its proximal end with a head for compressing the bone by an end-abutment; and a second screw provided at its distal end with a bone threading having a first helix pitch and at its proximal end with a bone threading having a helix with a pitch smaller than the first helix pitch.

Abstract: An implant for shoulder arthroplasty includes a stem and optionally a head component or a cup component. The stem is sized and shaped to fit into an intramedullary canal of the humerus. The proximal portion of the stem has a concave taper and the distal portion of the stem has a taper. The distal taper includes an anterior-posterior taper and a medial-lateral taper. The shape of the stem loads the metaphysis of the humerus with a greater load than the load applied to the diaphysis of the humerus.
