The second portion may be mechanically coupled to the first portion and surround the shank, for example the second portion is screwed to the first portion or the second portion may be directly formed to the first portion by an overmold process. The second portion may have an exposed thread pattern and an exposed leading tip. Additionally, the second portion may include a thermoplastic material and/or be formed of a thermoplastic material such as PEEK.

Abstract: Interbody implants may be formed by a product by process in which a first metallic frame component having an interconnected superior endplate and an interconnected inferior endplate are formed. In some embodiments, the endplates are interconnected by flexible struts and in others they are interconnected by translating struts. In various embodiments, a polymeric body may be infilled between the superior endplate and inferior endplate by a molding process, e.g., an injection molding process or an overmolding process. In various embodiments, the metallic frame may have a first compressive stiffness, the polymeric body may have a second compressive stiffness, and the first compressive stiffness of the metallic frame may be about 20% to about 80% of the second stiffness of the body. In various embodiments, a sum of the first compressive stiffness of the metallic frame and the second stiffness of the body is about 33,500 N/mm to about 11,500 N/mm.

Abstract: A kit for deploying a bone implant at a surgical site is provided. The kit comprises a first sleeve having an interior surface that defines a channel, and a second sleeve having an outer surface and an inner surface. The inner surface of the second sleeve defines an inner channel. The outer surface of the second sleeve is configured to slidably engage the interior surface of the channel of the first sleeve. A bone implant is also provided comprising a mesh material. The mesh material is disposed in a portion of the channel of the first sleeve or disposed in a portion of the inner channel of the second sleeve or disposed in both the portion of the channel of the first sleeve and the portion of the inner channel of the second sleeve.

Abstract: A system of generating a pre-operative assessment of a patient includes an assessment system configured to communicate with client electronic devices. The system receives patient information pertaining to a patient, uses the patient information to access one or more medical images associated with the patient, performs one or more image processing techniques on the one or more medical images to identify measurements pertaining to an internal bodily structure of the patient, identifies one or more implant components for the patient, determines whether the one or more implant components are currently stocked, in response to determining that the one or more implant components are not currently stocked, automatically generates and placing an order for the one or more implant components that are not stocked, generates a pre-operative assessment for the patient, and causes the assessment to be displayed on a display device of a client electronic device.
