Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein relate to stemmed and stemless humeral anchors, and implanting tools for use in shoulder arthroplasty procedures. For example, the humeral anchor can include a distal shaft portion, a proximal portion, and a metaphyseal portion connecting the distal shaft portion and the proximal portion. The distal shaft portion can include multiple apertures configured to receive a screw or one or more plugs. The proximal portion can include a stem face configured to be removably attached to an implanting tool or to couple to an anatomic insert or a reverse insert.

Abstract: Various embodiments of novel glenoid implant for replacing a portion of an articulation surface of a joint that provide various enhancements for glenoid implants is disclosed. Some examples of enhancements are improved quality of the primary fixation of glenoid implants and improved revisability of glenoid implants.

Abstract: In order to position an ankle prosthesis including a tibial implant and a talus implant provided with a talo-calcaneal anchoring keel, the invention proposes a surgical instrumentation assembly including: a tibial phantom (60) of the tibial implant, adapted so as to be attached to the tibia (T) of a patient, and an aiming guide (80) adapted for setting into place an instrumentation element (90) through the talus (A) and the calcaneus (C) of the patient, along an axis (Z-Z) for implanting the talo-calcaneal anchoring keel, the tibial phantom and the aiming guide mechanically cooperating with each other to restrict movement of the tibial phantom and the aiming guide relative to each other along vertical and medio-lateral directions, wherein the aiming guide is configured to guide placement of the instrumentation element.
