  • Publication number: 20230346561
    Abstract: An orthopaedic prosthetic component can include a porous three-dimensional Voronoi structure shaped to be implanted in a patient’s body. The porous three-dimensional Voronoi structure can include a plurality of struts, a number of pores, a first surface, and a second surface. The plurality of struts can define randomized interconnected organicized cells, wherein respective groups of struts intersect so as to define a respective plurality of nodes. The number of pores can be defined by the organicized cells. The second surface can be spaced from the first surface along a transverse axis. An intermediate portion can be between the first surface and the second surface. The first surface can have a first porosity and the intermediate portion can have an intermediate portion porosity that is different from the first porosity.

  • Publication number: 20230347013
    Abstract: An implantable device includes a portion that is constructed such that at least a majority of the portion, as measured by volume, comprises Ti64 (Ti-6Al-4V) alloy. Additionally, the portion is bendable to a bend angle of at least about 50-degrees about a bend axis while maintaining structural integrity.

  • Publication number: 20230056410
    Abstract: A cement restrictor inserter instrument (130) comprises an inserter (131) having a handle (132) at a proximal end, a cement restrictor attachment formation (137) at a distal end for releasably attaching a cement restrictor (150), a shaft (136) extending from the proximal end to the distal end and a stop (138) on the shaft and between the proximal end and the distal end; and a body (140) having a shape corresponding to the shape of an orthopaedic prosthetic implant, a spacer (142), a visible depth guide feature (190) and a releasable attachment mechanism by which the body is releasably attachable to the shaft, and wherein the spacer is configured to position the visible depth guide feature at a fixed position relative to the inserter when the spacer abuts the stop corresponding to a target cement restrictor position when the visible depth guide feature is aligned with a feature of a bone of a patient in which the cement restrictor is to be inserted.
