| 20100016975 | Glenoid Component For Shoulder Arthroplasty - A glenoid component apparatus for shoulder arthroplasty includes a bearing portion and a stem portion connected to the bearing portion. The stem portion is modeled from a normalized glenoid vault morphology. A method for making a glenoid component for shoulder arthroplasty includes obtaining a model of a normalized glenoid vault morphology and producing a stem portion of the glenoid component based on the model. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100161065 | Shoulder Prosthesis with Vault-Filling Structure having Bone-Sparing Configuration - A shoulder prosthesis includes a vault-filling component defining a bearing-facing surface and having a first coupling component, the vault-filling component including (i) a vault-filling first portion defining a first part of the bearing-facing surface, and (ii) a projecting second portion projecting from the vault-filling first portion so as to define a second part of the bearing-facing surface. The vault-filling first portion and the projecting second portion define a bone space therebetween. The shoulder prosthesis further includes a bearing component defining a bearing surface and having a second coupling component configured to cooperate with the first coupling component to couple the bearing component to the vault-filling component. At least one bone attachment member positioned in the bone space. The projecting second portion of the vault-filling component further defines a scapula-facing surface. The vault-filling first portion of the vault-filling component further defines (i) a first lateral surface extending from the scapula-facing surface, and (ii) a second lateral surface extending from the first part of the bearing-facing surface. The first lateral surface and the second lateral surface taper towards each other in a direction extending away from the bearing-facing surface. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100161066 | Shoulder Prosthesis having Augmented Metaglene Component for Use in Rotator Cuff Deficient Shoulder - A shoulder prosthesis includes a metaglene component that has (i) a base with a bearing-facing side, a scapula-facing side, and an external coupling surface interposed therebetween, (ii) an augment attached to the scapula-facing side of the base, and (iii) a post attached to at least one of the base and the augment. The metaglene component has defined therein a passage extending through at least both the base and the post. The metaglene component further having a plurality of fastener holes defined in the base. The shoulder prosthesis further includes a bearing component defining a cavity and including a bearing surface, the cavity defining an internal coupling surface, and the bearing-facing side of the metaglene component being located within the cavity so that the external coupling surface of the base is positioned in contact with the internal coupling surface of the bearing component to form a friction fit connection between the bearing component and the metaglene component. The shoulder prosthesis also includes a plurality of fasteners configured to respectively extend through the plurality of fastener holes defined in the base. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20110014153 | REINFORCED TISSUE GRAFT - A biocompatible tissue graft is provided. The tissue graft includes an extracellular matrix patch and a means for reinforcing the patch. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20110054624 | HUMERAL JOINT REPLACEMENT COMPONENT - A humeral prosthetic head has a non-spherical articulation surface coupled with an intermediate component connecting the head and the humerus, the intermediate component connected to the epiphysis, metaphysis, or diaphysis, or to one or more additional components connected to the humerus. The intermediate portion provides for axial and angular offset of the head with respect to a connection to the humerus, using a curvilinear tapered engagement. | 03-03-2011 |

| 20080269906 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PREPARING FOR A SURGICAL PROCEDURE - A method of preparing for a surgical procedure includes creating a three-dimensional bone model of a subject bone of a patient. At least a portion of the bone model is compared to at least one three-dimensional reference anatomic model. At least one structural difference between the bone model and the at least one reference anatomic model is identified. At least one desired subject bone structural change is specified to produce a modified bone model responsive to the step of identifying at least one structural difference between the bone model and the at least one reference anatomic model. An apparatus for preparing for a surgical procedure is also provided. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20110040303 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INSERTION OF AN ELONGATE PIN INTO A SURFACE - A trajectory structure is configured for contact with a surface to dictate an insertion trajectory of a pin relative to the surface. A location structure is configured to allow longitudinal passage of at least a portion of the pin therethrough to dictate an insertion location of the pin relative to the surface. An elongate handling rod is connected to the trajectory structure and the location structure. The handling rod supports the trajectory structure and the location structure for manipulation by a user. The handling rod spaces the trajectory structure and the location structure longitudinally apart. The trajectory structure is connected to the handling rod for trajectory adjustment in at least two degrees of freedom relative to the handling rod. The insertion trajectory of the pin insertion is substantially dependent upon the trajectory adjustment. A method for inserting an elongate guide pin into a bone surface is also provided. | 02-17-2011 |

| 20090187193 | Joint Arthroplasty Kit and Method - A method for providing joint arthroplasty includes providing a gauge for making a measurement of the contour of a long bone, making a measurement of the contour of a long bone with the gauge, providing a plurality of joint prostheses, selecting one of the plurality of joint prostheses based upon the measurement of the contour, resecting a long bone, and implanting the selected one prosthesis onto the long bone. A kit is also provided for selecting one of a plurality of joint implants for use in joint arthroplasty on a bone. The kit includes a first gauge and a second gauge. | 07-23-2009 |
| 20090254188 | Articulating Surface Replacement Prosthesis - A prosthesis for attachment to the proximal humerus of a patient during a shoulder arthroplasty has a cup and a spacer. The cup has an articulation surface and an internal surface opposed to the articulation surface. At least a portion of the internal surface is concave. The spacer has a support surface and an opposed surface. The support surface is configured for intimate contact with the proximal humerus and the opposed surface is configured for assembly to the internal surface of the cup. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20110144651 | INSTRUMENT FOR PREPARING AN IMPLANT SUPPORT SURFACE AND ASSOCIATED METHOD - An instrument for preparing a surface of a joint is provided. The glenoid surface is adapted for receiving a prosthetic component having a feature closely conforming to the surface. The prosthetic component provides a bearing surface for a head portion of a long bone. The instrument includes a guide having a first feature and a second feature and a tool. The tool is used for cooperation with the first feature for preparing the surface. The first feature is adapted to at least partially control the position of the tool as it prepares the surface. The second feature is adapted to assist in positioning of the guide with respect to the joint. | 06-16-2011 |
