    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a wrist arthroplasty system and method that enable an expedient surgical procedure, maintain wrist motion, and reduce the likelihood of implant loosening. The system includes a capitate implant, a radial implant, and a resection instrument. The capitate implant includes a convex head formed to interface with a concave socket of the radial implant. The capitate implant includes a single stem formed to be secured within a patient's capitate bone. The radial implant includes lips formed to increase wrist joint motion and to help prevent dislocation of the capitate implant from the radial implant. The resection instrument may be used in combination as a measurement tool for determining the proper implant size, a guide for properly positioning the implants, and a trial tool for testing trial implant components before securing the final radial and capitate implants.

  • Publication number: 20210153044
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide on-demand network slicing to support testing of customer use cases A test network management system receives customer parameters for a use case in a production network. The customer parameters include an identifier for a user equipment (UE) device to be tested with the use case. The test network management system provides, to the UE device, configuration information to associate the UE device with a test mode network segment of the production network. A network device in the production network may receive a registration request, from the UE device, that includes the configuration information. Based on the configuration information, the network device blocks the UE device from accessing the production network. Instead, the test network management system initiates provisioning of the test mode network segment for the UE device; and the network device redirects the registration request to the test mode network segment.
