Abstract: A device and system for inserting and impacting bone dowel allografts or bone chips into a bone tunnel. The surgical impacting system includes a surgical tamp having a proximal end and a distal end with an elongated shaft extending therebetween. The surgical tamp has an inner channel extending therethrough from the proximal end to the distal end. The distal end of the surgical tamp can have a distal tip. The surgical tamp may have a handle at the proximal end or a proximal tip at the proximal end. The surgical tamp may also have one or more slots extending through the exterior surface of the elongated shaft and into the inner channel. The surgical tamp can be configured for insertion into a delivery tube. The delivery tube serves the purpose of containing a bone dowel or bone chips therein for smooth insertion into the joint.

Abstract: Prosthetic hip stems for use in prosthetic hip joints and, in particular, provides prosthetic hip stems that are designed to achieve more optimized outcomes with certain types of patient anatomy, such as the anatomy of female patients and/or patients having osteoporosis. Each hip stem in a family or set of hip stems has diaphyseal width, metaphyseal width, offset, and head height dimensions. In a set of hip stems of increasing nominal size, the diaphyseal width dimension increases substantially non-proportionally to the corresponding increase of the metaphyseal width, offset, and head height dimensions, thereby providing a family or set of hip stems that is particularly adapted for patients having osteoporosis, in which the cortical bone of the diaphysis of the femur becomes thinner with progression of the osteoporosis.
