  • Publication number: 20170273806
    Abstract: The instrumentation aims at improving the implantation of a glenoidal prosthetic component which is both provided with a convex articular surface defining a joint axis and intended to articulate with a humeral prosthetic component, and which is adapted so as to be fixedly assembled with a plate to be anchored to the glenoid, the assembly between the glenoidal prosthesis component and the plate being centered on an implantation axis which is both parallel and shifted relatively to the joint axis, the relative position of the glenoidal prosthesis component and of the plate being adjustable around the implantation axis before fixing the assembly.

  • Publication number: 20170164992
    Abstract: The instrumentation makes it possible to implant in a long bone, such as the humerus, the femur or the tibia, an implant, such as an osteosynthesis nail or a prosthetic rod, defining a longitudinal axis and including, in alignment along the longitudinal axis, two opposite terminal parts and a running part that separates the two terminal parts from one another. The instrumentation comprises a targeting ancillary tool that is adapted to target one and/or the other of the terminal parts of the implant, if applicable percutaneously, along at least one targeting axis that is transverse, or even perpendicular, to the longitudinal axis. The targeting ancillary tool is designed to be fastened laterally to the running part of the implant so as to position the targeting ancillary tool and the implant relative to one another in a predetermined configuration.

  • Patent number: 8715363
    Abstract: A surgical instrument including at least one tibial phantom generally corresponding to at least certain features of the tibial implant. The tibial phantom includes a top surface adapted to move freely against the prepared bottom end of the tibia. At least one talus phantom generally corresponding to at least certain features of the talus implant is engaged with the prepared top surface of the talus. At least one phantom skid is located between the tibial phantom and the talus phantom. The phantom skid is engaged with the tibial phantom such that dynamic engagement between the phantom skid and the talus phantom through at least extension and flexion of the ankle joint positions the tibial phantom on the prepared bottom end of the tibia. The phantom skid can either be a part of the tibial phantom or a separate component.

  • Publication number: 20140025173
    Abstract: A glenoid implant for a shoulder prosthesis is adapted to be implanted in the glenoid of a patient. The glenoid implant includes an articular body for articulating the glenoidal implant with a humeral component. A plate supports the articular body. An anchoring mechanism for anchoring the glenoid implant along an anchoring axis is adapted to be secured to the glenoid. A securing mechanism secures the plate in position relative to the anchoring mechanism and the glenoid. An adjustment mechanism facilitates selectively adjusting the position of the plate, before it is secured in position by the securing mechanism, in rotation about the anchoring axis and in translation transversely relative to the anchoring axis.

  • Publication number: 20120109217
    Abstract: Methods for anterior-to-posterior talus-calcaneus screw insertion through an ankle arthrodesis nail according to embodiments of the present invention include coupling a first jig to the nail, aligning a drill bit with a first aperture of the nail by inserting it through a second aperture in the first jig, drilling a first hole through a tibia aligned with the first aperture, fixing the nail to the tibia with a screw through the first hole into the first aperture, coupling a second jig to the first jig, aligning the drill bit with a third aperture in the nail by inserting the drill bit through a fourth aperture in the second jig, drilling a second hole through a talus and a calcaneus aligned with the third aperture; and fixing the nail to the talus and calcaneus by inserting a screw through the second hole into the third aperture in an anterior-to-posterior direction.
