Abstract: A system and method for attaching soft tissue to a prosthetic implant can include a prosthetic component that defines a soft tissue attachment region having an attachment surface thereon. A first construct can be formed of porous metal and be removably coupled to the attachment surface. A second construct can be positioned outboard of the soft tissue. A fastener can be engaged to the second construct and capture the soft tissue against the first construct. The fastener can be coupled on a distal end to the first prosthetic component.

Abstract: A press-fit prosthesis for replacing a portion of a bone. The prosthesis can comprise a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The second side can be operable to engage the bone. The prosthesis can include at least one resorbable fixation member coupled to the second side such that the at least one resorbable fixation member does not extend through to the first side. The at least one resorbable fixation member can be coupled offset from a center of the second side. The at least one resorbable fixation member can substantially resist movement of the prosthesis relative to the bone. The at least one resorbable fixation member can resorb at a rate that enables bone in-growth to fixedly couple the prothesis to the bone.

Abstract: A method for preparing at least a first bone for receiving a prosthesis can include positioning an IM member in a bone. A scaffold, skeleton or frame can be located onto the bone at a desired location. An alignment assembly can be coupled to the frame. The alignment assembly can be moved relative to the IM member to position the frame at a desired location relative to the bone. The frame can be fixed to the bone at the desired location. A cavity can be reamed into the bone using at least a portion of the alignment assembly as a guide. The alignment assembly can be removed from the frame. A cutting block can be coupled to the first attachment portion. Cuts can be prepared in the bone using the cutting block as a guide.

Abstract: A system for cooperating with an elongated IM member during preparation of a bone for receiving a prosthesis can include a scaffold, skeleton or frame. An alignment assembly can be selectively coupled to the frame. The alignment assembly can cooperate with the IM member to position the frame relative to the bone. A cutting block can be selectively coupled to the frame. According to other features, a posterior stabilized (PS) box guide assembly can have a PS box guide attachment portion that selectively couples with the first attachment portion of the frame. A posterior foot can selectively couple with a second attachment portion on the frame. The posterior foot can be positioned to occupy space of a joint line in an installed position.

Abstract: A modular knee prosthesis can include a femoral component having a superiorly extending portion, a first femoral bearing surface and a second femoral bearing surface. The superiorly extending portion can define a first tapered augment receiving surface. A tibial component can have an inferiorly extending portion and a tibial bearing surface. The inferiorly extending portion can define a second tapered augment receiving surface. A first augment can define a first receiving bore and a first stepped surface. A second augment can define a second receiving bore and a second stepped surface. The first and second augments are adapted to mate at the first and second stepped surfaces in a first position at the first tapered augment receiving surface of the femoral component and in a second position at the second tapered augment receiving surface of the tibial component.

Abstract: An orthopedic implant. The implant includes a metal portion having an internal three-dimensional cavity, the cavity having an opening to an outer surface of the metal portion, a ledge circumferentially surrounding at least a portion of the opening, and a porous metal insert formed in a three-dimensional shape conforming to the shape of the cavity and enclosed by the cavity without being bonded to the cavity. The insert is retained inside the cavity by the ledge.

Abstract: A fixation device and method for attaching an external prosthesis to a bone. The fixation device includes a main body having a compliant portion operable to be expanded and contracted. The main body has a first end fixedly retained in the bone and a second end coupled to an extension for receiving the external prosthesis. The main body and the extension define respectively first and second engagement surfaces for constraining a bone graft therebetween.
