Abstract: In general, scapular tethers and methods of using scapular tethers are provided. A tether is configured to be implanted in a body of a patient and to control movement of the patient's scapula. In an exemplary embodiment, the tether is configured to be attached to at least one body structure in a patient. The tether includes a flexible member configured to, when implanted in the patient, flex in response to movement of the patient's scapula accompanying arm movement of the patient.

Abstract: Improved surgical planning systems and methods are provided for planning orthopaedic procedures, including pre-operatively, intra-operatively, and/or post-operatively to create, edit, execute, and/or review surgical plans. The surgical planning systems and methods may be utilized for planning and implementing orthopaedic procedures to restore functionality to a joint. In some embodiments, range of motion simulations may be performed on a joint associated with a plurality of anatomical makeup classifications, and range of motion data derived from the range of motion simulations may be stored within a storage system of the surgical planning system.

Abstract: Implants are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, an implant includes a spacer configured to be implanted within a joint. The spacer includes an elongated central body extending from a first end to a second end with a longitudinal axis extending therebetween, and first and second wings extending from the first and second ends of the elongated central body, respectively. The elongated central body has a first maximum height in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis, and each of the first and second wings has a maximum height greater than the first maximum height. When implanted and in the inflated state, at least one of the first wing and the second wing is configured to mechanically interlock with a portion of the anatomy to thereby self-anchor the spacer to the joint and inhibit migration of the spacer. Implant systems and methods for biomechanically augmenting muscle function are also provided.
