  • Publication number: 20230346561
    Abstract: An orthopaedic prosthetic component can include a porous three-dimensional Voronoi structure shaped to be implanted in a patient’s body. The porous three-dimensional Voronoi structure can include a plurality of struts, a number of pores, a first surface, and a second surface. The plurality of struts can define randomized interconnected organicized cells, wherein respective groups of struts intersect so as to define a respective plurality of nodes. The number of pores can be defined by the organicized cells. The second surface can be spaced from the first surface along a transverse axis. An intermediate portion can be between the first surface and the second surface. The first surface can have a first porosity and the intermediate portion can have an intermediate portion porosity that is different from the first porosity.

  • Publication number: 20220249256
    Abstract: A trial neck for hip surgery and a method of attaching a trial neck to a femoral canal implement. The trial neck includes a body portion including a bore for receiving a proximal end of a femoral canal implement. The trial neck also includes an elongate neck extending from the body portion. The trial neck further includes a locking mechanism comprising a lever. The lever has a first end. The lever also has a second end. The lever further has an engagement surface. The second end of the lever is actuable to urge the engagement surface against the proximal end of the femoral canal implement to secure the proximal end of the femoral canal implement within the bore.
