  • Patent number: 11045263
    Abstract: A system and method for generating a surgical instrument in a surgical procedure is disclosed. The method may include, attaching a grid to a portion of a patient's body and using a mixed or augmented reality system to produce a virtual instrument, or holographic representation of a physical instrument. The user can the manipulate the virtual instrument to a desired position on the patient's body, and using coordinates on a grid, identifies a desired location of the virtual instrument with respect to the patient's body. The user may then drill holes that correspond with the positioning of the virtual instrument and identified by coordinates on the grid, and the attach the physical instrument to the desired location using holes drilled at the identified coordinates.

  • Patent number: 10531959
    Abstract: A knee replacement, a kit for a knee replacement, and a method for performing a knee replacement are provided. A tibial fixed component of the knee replacement is configured to be permanently inserted into a resected tibia of a patient. A tibial modular component of the knee replacement is removably attachable to the tibial fixed component and has an upper surface to interface with a femoral component. The tibial modular component is removable from the tibial fixed component so that in the event that the fit of the knee replacement is not correct, the tibial modular component may be replaced with a differently sized tibial modular component without removing the tibial fixed component from the bone.

  • Patent number: 10307261
    Abstract: A tibial implant having a stem and a tibial sleeve. The tibial sleeve having a proximal end and a distal end, where the proximal end includes an annular male portion. The tibial implant also includes an offset ring having a central bore that is offset from the center of the offset ring, where the bore of the offset ring receives the annular male portion of the tibial sleeve. The tibial implant further includes a base plate having a proximal end and a distal end, where the distal end of the base plate forms a female portion, and the female portion receives both the offset ring and the male portion of the tibial sleeve.

  • Publication number: 20120179270
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to revision hip surgery or total hip arthroplasty situations in which it is difficult for a surgeon to secure or fix an acetabular cup or shell to the bone due, for whatever reason, to bone loss or other bone deficiency. The system may comprise a plurality of fasteners and an acetabular cup or shell having a plurality of openings to thereby allow the plurality of fasteners to be inserted at diverging angles to create multiple fixation points to distribute load and secure the shell to available bone. The system may also include a bearing insert for receiving a femoral head component and a plurality of spacers for creating a cement mantle.
