  • MIXED-REALITY HUMERAL-HEAD SIZING AND PLACEMENT
    Publication number: 20230146371
    Abstract: Techniques are described for guiding a joint replacement surgery. In some examples, a system includes a visualization device comprising one or more sensors; and processing circuitry configured to determine, based on data generated by the one or more sensors, one or more size parameters of a bone resection surface viewable via the visualization device; select, based on the one or more size parameters of the bone resection surface and from a plurality of implants, an implant; and output for display, via the visualization device, a graphical representation of the selected implant relative to the bone resection surface.

  • Reverse shoulder implants
    Patent number: 10034759
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include a convertible prosthesis that is capable of conversion from a humeral head replacement to a reverse reconstruction without any removal of parts integrated into the patient's bony anatomy (e.g. implant stems). A desired overall implant inclination angle may be achieved by matching various implant stems with various reverse inserts, thus permitting a resection surface to be matched with an implant stem selection while also permitting a desired overall implant inclination angle to be achieved through the selection of an appropriate insert.

  • TOTAL ANKLE REPLACEMENT SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20110035019
    Abstract: A total ankle replacement system is presented. The total ankle joint replacement procedure can be used to treat persons with disability, deformity, or that are suffering from osteoarthritis and other arthritic conditions. The total ankle joint assembly generally comprises a tibial component, a talar component, and a bearing component, where the bearing component is positioned between and articulates with the tibial component and talar component to mimic the natural ankle joint movement.
