Abstract: A collar arranged to couple to a prosthetic component for implantation at the end of a long bone, the prosthetic component having a distal portion arranged to couple to the bone and a proximal neck portion arranged to couple to an articulation component. The collar comprises a plate including a neck hole to receive a neck portion, such that the collar can rotate about the neck portion. The collar further comprises a plurality of attachment portions for coupling the plate to bone fragments or soft tissues. The collar is lockable to the neck portion to prevent further rotation. A prosthesis comprising a combination of a collar, a prosthetic component and an articulation component, and a surgical method of using the collar are also disclosed.

Abstract: A system for insulating a curtain wall structure is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of insulation hangers, a curtain wall insulation, and a safing insulation. The insulation hangers include a reinforcing member that engages a horizontal transom of the curtain wall structure. The system is attached only to horizontal transoms of the curtain wall structure via the insulation hangers to provide ease of installation and/or enhanced reliability.

Abstract: A one-piece insulation mounting bracket is disclosed. The mounting bracket readily supports the insulation (e.g., curtain wall insulation) without the need for separate fasteners, locking washers, etc. As a result, the insulation can be mounted more quickly than with conventional mounting systems.

Abstract: A method of preparing an assembly for a surgical procedure while an implant is engaged with a bone includes mounting a first insert component, configured to mount to the implant with a first predetermined orientation, with a first mating component fixed thereto in a replication instrument at a second predetermined orientation, and determining an angular position of the provided first mating component with respect to the first insert component using the replication instrument. The first insert component and the first mating component are removed from the replication instrument and a second insert component configured to mount to the implant with the first predetermined orientation is mounted in the replication instrument at the second predetermined orientation and the determined angular position is replicated with the mounted second insert component and a second mating component.

Abstract: A collar arranged to couple to a prosthetic component for implantation at the end of a long bone, the prosthetic component having a distal portion arranged to couple to the bone and a proximal neck portion arranged to couple to an articulation component. The collar comprises a plate including a neck hole to receive a neck portion, such that the collar can rotate about the neck portion. The collar further comprises a plurality of attachment portions for coupling the plate to bone fragments or soft tissues. The collar is lockable to the neck portion to prevent further rotation. A prosthesis comprising a combination of a collar, a prosthetic component and an articulation component, and a surgical method of using the collar are also disclosed.

Abstract: A surgical procedure method includes accessing an implanted joint prosthesis having an implant engaged within a bone of the joint and a first articulating component mounted by a first mating component to a first insert component removably mounted to the implant, and partially disassembling the accessed implanted joint prosthesis by removing the first insert component with the first articulating component fixed thereto from the implant while the implant is engaged with the bone. The angular position of the first mating component with respect to the first insert component is then determined and replicated with a second insert component and a second mating component. The second insert component and the second mating component are then fixed at the replicated angle and the fixed second insert component and second mating component are mounted to the implant engaged within the bone. A new articulating component is then mounted to the second mating component.
