Abstract: A method for inserting an acetabular implant into the acetabulum of a patient. The method includes engaging a patient-specific surface of acetabular alignment guide to a complementary rim surface and periacetabular area of a patient. A plurality of alignment pins are inserted through corresponding alignment apertures of the acetabular alignment guide and into the periacetabular area of the patient. The acetabular alignment guide is removed without removing the alignment pins from the patient. An alignment adapter is coupled to an acetabular inserter over the alignment pins and an acetabular implant is implanted using the acetabular inserter.

Abstract: An orthopedic device includes a patient-specific acetabular guide that can be used for preparing an acetabulum of a patient to receive an acetabular implant. The acetabular guide has a dome-shaped body with a peripheral annular rim and an outer three-dimensional surface configured to match an acetabulum of a specific patient's hip joint from three-dimensional medical images of the patient's hip joint. A patient-specific registration guide is removably attached to the peripheral rim and has a longitudinal bore defining a patient-specific alignment axis with an alignment orientation configured for guiding an acetabular implant for the patient. The registration guide has a patient-specific undersurface configured to mate with a corresponding surface of periacetabular surface of the acetabulum of the patient.

Abstract: A method for centering a stem of an implant at an implantation site. The method includes implanting at the implantation site the implant having a sleeve rigidly mounted to the stem of the implant, the stem extends through an interior area of the sleeve. The method further includes compressing the sleeve by applying force to the sleeve to expand a mesh portion of the sleeve outward from the stem and into engagement with sidewalls of the implantation site to thereby center the stem at the implantation site.

Abstract: A prosthetic device for replacement of a first pelvic portion of a pelvis of a patient opposite to a second pelvic portion relative to a median plane includes an acetabular component a flange component and a pubis component. The acetabular component has a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion at an angle relative to the first connecting portion, the angle selected for a corresponding anatomy of the patient. The flange component is coupled to the first connecting portion and configured to attach to a healthy pelvic portion on a same side of the median plane from the first pelvic portion. The pubis component is connected to the second connecting portion of the acetabular component and having a clamping portion configured to attach to a healthy pubis bone on an opposite side of the median plane from the first pelvic portion.

Abstract: An acetabular shell assembly according to the principles of the present disclosure includes a substrate and a screw hole plug. The substrate can have an inner surface, an outer surface, and a screw hole extending through the inner and outer surfaces and configured to receive a screw to fix the substrate to bone within an acetabulum. The screw hole plug can be configured to be selectively retained relative to the substrate.

Abstract: An implant sleeve operable to center an implant at an implantation site. The implant sleeve includes a proximal end, a distal end, an annular sidewall, a mesh portion of the annular sidewall, and an interior area. The annular sidewall is between the proximal end and the distal end. The mesh portion defines a plurality of openings in the annular sidewall. The interior area is defined by the annular sidewall and is configured to receive a stem of the implant. A longitudinal axis of the implant sleeve extends along an axial center of the interior area. In response to force applied to the implant sleeve, the implant sleeve compresses and the mesh portion expands outward from the longitudinal axis.
