  • Publication number: 20260165845
    Abstract: A glenoid implant includes a base element, a coupling element, and an augment. The base element has a central aperture, a second aperture, and a wedge element. The coupling element has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a first plurality of apertures and the second portion has a central aperture aligned with the central aperture of the base element. The augment is received within a receiving space of the coupling element. The augment has a second plurality of apertures, each of which is aligned with each of the first plurality of apertures to receive respective second fastening elements.

  • Publication number: 20260157773
    Abstract: A clamping device engages an external fixation rod for use in bone fracture surgery includes an upper housing including a ratcheting mechanism, a lower housing including an upper jaw and a lower jaw that engages an external fixation rod. When the upper housing is turned in a clockwise motion relative to the lower housing, the jaws are drawn towards one another until opposed by a predetermined force. Engaging an action pin in the upper housing and turning the upper housing in a clockwise motion can overcome the predetermined force, and engaging an action pin in the upper housing and turning the upper housing in a counterclockwise motion can release engagement to an external fixation rod.

  • Publication number: 20250072913
    Abstract: The technical solutions described herein are systems and methods for adjustable surgical guides, virtual planning, and surgical navigation. The system can process preoperative image data of a glenoid, generate a virtual representation of the glenoid face, and maintain a virtual model of a surgical guide. The system can present the virtual representation and the surgical guide in a user interface, determine version and inclination angles for the surgical guide, and adjust the surgical guide's position or orientation. The system can assess virtual plan data, communicate the data to a surgical system, translate the data into movement commands, and execute the movement commands for drilling. The system can access an intraoperative image of the glenoid face, identify the position of a drilling instrument, generate an image to determine the spatial relationship between the instrument and the virtual representation, and present a dynamic visual indicator to guide drilling.
