A61B 17/88

US Classification:

606 79, 606 86 R, 606102

Abstract:

Surgical systems and methods are disclosed for creating a 3D model of a patient's affected area using an imaging device, using the model to determine an implant orientation and position, creating patient-matched instrumentation, placing the patient-matched instrumentation on the patient's anatomy, registering a computer-assisted surgical tool, and acquiring registration information. The methods and systems also include associating the surgical tool with a computer to perform a computer assisted surgery. Also disclosed are embodiments of patient-matched instrumentation to acquire registration information.

International Classification:

A61F 2/34

US Classification:

623 2232

Abstract:

An acetabular prosthetic device for implantation in an iliac canal and acetabulum of an ilium comprises a stem and an acetabular component. The stem may be configured to be implanted in the iliac canal. The acetabular component may be configured to be implanted in the acetabulum and fixed to the stem.

International Classification:

A61F 2/34
A61B 17/56

US Classification:

623 2221, 606 91

Abstract:

Systems, devices, and methods are provided for orthopedic implants. The implants may include a base member, such as an acetabular shell or an augment, that is configured to couple with an augment, flange cup, mounting member, or any other suitable orthopedic attachment. An implant component may be expandable to allow for adjustment and custom fitting during implantation. An expandable implant may have a first portion and a second portion separated by a slit. An expansion member can be disposed between the first and second portions and can be actuated to displace the two portions relative to each other, increasing the size of the implant. Any number of slits and expandable sections can be included in the implant to provided more flexibility in the expansion of the implant.

International Classification:

A61F 2/34

US Classification:

623 2238

Abstract:

Systems, devices, and methods are provided for orthopedic implants. The implants may include a base member, such as an acetabular shell or an augment, that is configured to couple with an augment, flange cup, mounting member, or any other suitable orthopedic attachment. An augment provided for an acetabular implant may be adjustably positionable around the implant. An implant may have one or more slots that mate with connections on the augment and allow the augment to move within the slot. An augment may be translated, rotated, or moved in any other way to achieve a desired orientation prior to locking the augment in place relative to the implant. The augment may be locked by a screw or other locking mechanism that holds the augment in place. The locking mechanism may be releasable to allow for repositioning of the augment.

International Classification:

A61F 2/34

US Classification:

623 2235

Abstract:

Systems, devices, and methods are provided for orthopedic implants. The implants may include a base member, such as an acetabular shell or an augment, that is configured to couple with an augment, flange cup, mounting member, or any other suitable orthopedic attachment. A mounting member may be used to attach to an implant and anchor the implant to a patient's bone or soft tissue. The mounting member may be integral with the implant or may be provided as a separate component. A mounting member may be adjustably positionable around the implant to provide flexibility and allow the mounting member to meet needs of a particular patient and implant.

International Classification:

A61F 2/34

US Classification:

623 2224, 623 2232

Abstract:

Systems, devices, and methods are provided for orthopedic implants. The implants may include a base member, such as an acetabular shell or an augment, that is configured to couple with an augment, flange cup, mounting member, or any other suitable orthopedic attachment. Mounting members include, for example, flanges, blades, hooks, and plates. In some embodiments, the orthopedic attachments may be adjustably positionable about the base member or other attachments, thereby providing modularity for assembling and implanting the device, and various securing and/or locking mechanisms may be used between the components of the implant.
