| 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 |
| 20110213371 | RECIPROCATING RASPS FOR USE IN AN ORTHOPAEDIC SURGICAL PROCEDURE - Reciprocating rasps for the surgical preparation of the bone prior to the implantation of a glenoid or acetabular component with complex geometry are disclosed. Surgical methods for the use of such reciprocating rasps are also disclosed. | 09-01-2011 |
| 20110276144 | Mobile Bearing Glenoid Prosthesis - A prosthesis assembly configured for use with a scapula in one embodiment includes a spherical humeral component, an elongated glenoid bearing including a first bearing surface with (i) a first spherical end portion with a first radius of curvature, (ii) a second spherical end portion with a second radius of curvature, and (iii) a central portion located between the first spherical end portion and the second spherical end portion, and a first coupling portion extending from a second bearing surface opposite the bearing surface, and a base configured to rotatably support the elongated glenoid bearing, wherein the first radius of curvature is substantially equal to the second radius of curvature and the central portion does not have a radius of curvature that is substantially equal to the second radius of curvature. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20110282158 | SPREADING RETRACTOR - A spreadable retractor for use in joint arthroplasty. The retractor includes a first arm having a first portion and a second portion that is movably coupled to the first portion. The second portion is also coupled to a first retaining member that is sized and shaped to retain a portion of a coracoid process. A second arm is also included in the retractor and is movably coupled to the first arm. The second arm has a first portion and a second portion that is movably coupled to the first portion. Also, the second portion is coupled to a second retaining member that is sized and shaped to couple to a resected humerus. | 11-17-2011 |
