| 20090048687 | METHOD FOR PLACING A MALLEOLAR IMPLANT FOR PARTIAL OR TOTAL ANKLE PROSTHESIS - A method for implanting a malleolar implant in an ankle joint. A spacer block is positioned between a lower portion of a tibia and an upper portion of an astragalus in the ankle joint. A guide attached to the spacer block is positioned opposite an outer surface of a fibular malleolus. A bore aligned with the guide is formed through the fibular malleolus. The spacer block is removed from between the tibia and the astragalus. A shank of the malleolar implant is engaged with the bore from an inner surface of the fibular malleolus. The shank is advanced into the bore so an inner surface of a head of the malleolar implant engages the inner surface of the fibular malleolus. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090076552 | VERTEBRAL ANCHORING DEVICE - A vertebral anchoring device includes connectors ( | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090112328 | SHOULDER OR HIP PROSTHESIS AND METHOD FOR SETTING SAME - A prosthesis and method for a ball and socket joint. The prosthesis includes a first component including an anchoring shank and a metaphyseal portion. The metaphyseal portion includes a first articular surface configured to move in translation relative to the anchoring shank. An intermediate component includes a first articular surface configured to engage with the first articular surface on the metaphyseal portion, and a second articular surface configured to engage with the ball and socket joint. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090216277 | POSTERIOR LUMBAR JOINT PROSTHESIS - There is provided a posterior lumbar joint prosthesis which includes prosthetic elements reproducing the movements of the joint facets and vertebral anchors which adapt to the variations in the anatomy of vertebra. In use, the prosthesis has lower and upper connectors on each side of the lumbar vertebra. The lower connectors are coupled with, and pivotably mounted onto, respective lower pedicular screws, and a member defining a member axis links lower and upper connectors on each side of the lumbar vertebra. Upon lateral flexion of one of the upper and lower vertebrae relative to the other, each lower connector is capable of multiaxis pivotable movement relative to the respective lower pedicular screws such that each member is capable to pivot with respect to (i) the axis of the lower screw, (ii) a first axis intersecting the lower screw and the lower connector, and/or (iii) an axis intersecting the above first axis and the lower screw, while the member can also move along the member axis. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20090254186 | NUCLEAR IMPLANT - The nuclear implant according to this invention constitutes, between two overlying and underlying vertebrae Va, Vb of a spine segment Sr, an intervertebral support device that damps shock and ensures the mobility of the functional unit that is formed by the vertebrae of a vertebral column, whereby the nuclear implant includes a filling element ( | 10-08-2009 |
| 20090318929 | METHOD FOR MODELING A GLENOID SURFACE OF A SCAPULA, APPARATUS FOR IMPLANTING A GLENOID COMPONENT OF A SHOULDER PROSTHESIS, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SUCH A COMPONENT - An apparatus and modeling method of the present invention includes the successive steps of generating cartographic data representative of points belonging to a glenoid surface; distinguishing from among the cartographic data a first group of cartographic data corresponding to a first part of the glenoid surface, the first surface part being situated farthest down in the vertical direction in relation to the scapula; calculating from the first group of cartographic data a first ellipsoid portion that coincides substantially with the first surface part; and obtaining a theoretical glenoid surface from the first ellipsoid portion. By virtue of the theoretical glenoid surface obtained by this method, it is possible to assist the surgeon in optimizing the position of implantation of a glenoid component and to produce a glenoid component “made to measure” for the scapula that is to be fitted with a prosthesis. | 12-24-2009 |
