Abstract: Illustrative embodiments of orthopedic implants and methods for surgically repairing hammertoe are disclosed. According to at least one illustrative embodiment, an orthopedic implant includes a proximal segment comprising a number of spring arms forming an anchored barb at a first end of the implant, a distal segment extending between the proximal segment and a second end of the implant, and a central segment disposed between the proximal and distal segment.

Abstract: A prosthetic component for use in a metatarso-phalangeal joint fusion procedure for a patient that includes a single monolithic body is disclosed. The body includes a distal body section that is sized to be positioned in a surgically-prepared bore defined in a proximal phalange of the patient's foot, and a proximal body section that is configured to be threaded into a surgically-prepared bore defined in a distal end of a metatarsal bone of the patient's foot. When the single monolithic body is viewed in a first plane, the distal body section may be laterally offset from the proximal body section when the single monolithic body is viewed in the first plane. A method of use and a method of removal are also disclosed.
