  • Patent number: 11833055
    Abstract: A stemless implant for shoulder arthroplasty includes a body having a proximal portion, distal portion, and an outer surface. A cylindrical extrusion is substantially perpendicular to and adjacent the proximal portion. At least a portion of the outer surface is configured to contact bone, the outer bone contacting surface comprising a concave taper. The stemless implant can be sized and shaped for insertion into a metaphysis of a humerus bone without penetrating a diaphysis of the humerus bone. The implant optionally comprises a medial fin, a lateral fin, an anterior fin, and a posterior fin. The medial fin and lateral fin may be thicker than the anterior fin. The fins may taper from the proximal portion to the distal portion.

  • Publication number: 20210275074
    Abstract: A grip assessment device includes a support structure having a periphery, a cover positioned around the support structure and configured to define a grip surface, and a plurality of sensor elements disposed along the periphery of the support structure, each respective sensor element of the plurality of sensor elements being configured to generate an output signal indicative of force applied to the grip surface at the respective sensor element. The plurality of sensor elements are distributed across the grip surface such that the output signals from the plurality of sensor elements are collectively indicative of a grip profile along the grip surface, the grip profile providing grip position data and grip magnitude data correlated with the grip position data.
