  • Publication number: 20250102019
    Abstract: A surgical tool including a socket having a housing and an aperture within the housing, the socket configured to receive a ball and a pin at least partially in the aperture. The ball is positioned at least partially in the socket and configured to rotate within the socket, the ball comprising an elongated opening extending through the ball. The pin is coupled to the socket and disposed at least partially in the socket on opposite sides of the socket, the pin including a first longitudinal axis and extending through the elongated opening of the ball between opposite sides of the socket. The ball is configured to partially rotate about the first longitudinal axis of the pin, and partially rotate, about a second axis perpendicular to the first longitudinal axis of the pin, in a plane aligned with the elongated opening.

  • Publication number: 20240013917
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present inventive concept are directed towards a data analysis system. The data analysis system includes a memory and one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors being configured to: obtain health information associated with at least one patient of a health facility; analyze the health information to determine a rate of health decline associated with one or more health parameters of the patient; generate at least one interface indicating whether the rate of health decline meets a threshold for each of the one or more health parameters, and output the at least one interface for display on a display device.

  • Publication number: 20230181337
    Abstract: A device for separating a hard acetabular liner (e.g., metal, ceramic, etc.) positioned in an acetabular shell, the device including an elongated member having a proximal and distal end, an engagement structure positioned at the proximal end of the elongated member. The engagement structure includes a first portion having a curved outer surface, a first end-face aligned substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the device, and an inner surface extending from the first end-face, the first portion structured to fit at least partially into a scallop-shaped recess on a peripheral top surface of the acetabular shell, and further includes a second portion separated from the first portion by an opening, structured to accept the top surface of the acetabular liner, and including an outer surface extending a second length from the proximal end of the elongated member, structured to contact the top surface of the acetabular shell.

  • Publication number: 20230144280
    Abstract: An implant assembly device configured to press an inner femoral head into a plastic outer femoral head by means of actuator system. The actuator system embodies a unique pawl system that acts to reduce the occurrence and severity of device jamming due to over compression. The device includes a unique head support apparatus that aligns and orients the inner and outer femoral heads prior to and throughout the assembly process. The device can also include a grip portion integrated onto the body of the device, for holding and stabilizing the device when in use.
