  • HIP IMPLANT SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20210393413
    Abstract: Hip implant systems described herein can include a distal stem, a proximal body, and a fastener. In some embodiments, the distal stem can include a cavity configured to receive the fastener when a portion of the distal stem is positioned within the proximal body. In some embodiments, the distal stem can include a threaded exterior surface configured to mate with a fastener when a portion of the distal stem is positioned within the proximal body. In some embodiments, a distal end of the distal stem can include an anterior relief configured to conform to interior surface of a femoral canal of a patient.

  • PARTIAL KNEE IMPLANTS AND METHODS FOR INSTALLING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20210236142
    Abstract: The present disclosure is a femoral preparation guide and a kit of surgical components related to the femoral preparation guide. The femoral preparation guide is for use on a condyle of a femur during a surgical procedure in which the condyle receives a femoral condylar implant. The femoral preparation guide includes a posterior portion for fitting over a posterior region of the condyle and a distal portion for fitting over a distal region of the condyle. The distal portion is at an angle relative to the posterior portion. The distal portion includes first and second resections slots for receiving cutting tools that provide two resections of the condyle. The first and second resections slots being at angles relative to each other.

  • Spacer molds with releasable securement
    Patent number: 10471638
    Abstract: A mold for forming a temporary prosthesis has at least two mold members at least partially separable from each other. The at least two mold members cooperatively define a generally enclosed interior cavity for forming the temporary prosthesis. The mold has a securement structure mounted on the at least two mold members for securing the at least two mold members to each other during the forming of the temporary prosthesis. The securement structure is removable from the at least two mold members by hand and without the use of a tool.
