International Classification:

B01F 13/06

US Classification:

366139, 366256, 366260

Abstract:

A method and apparatus is disclosed for forming a mixed material. For example, two components of a bone cement may be positioned in the apparatus and mixed under vacuum. An increase in pressure on one side of a movable piston can move the material for ease of access and reducing voids in the mixed material.

International Classification:

A61F 2/40

US Classification:

623 1913, 623 1911, 623 1912

Abstract:

An implant assembly and associated method for selectively performing reverse and traditional arthroplasty for a shoulder joint that includes a humerus and a glenoid. The implant assembly may include a head, a cup, a humeral stem and an adaptor. The method includes inserting the humeral stem to the humerus and connecting a male taper of the adaptor to a female taper of the head. For reverse arthroplasty, the method includes attaching the adaptor to the glenoid and the cup to the stem. For traditional arthroplasty, the method includes attaching the adaptor to the humeral stem and the cup to the glenoid. The method also includes articulating the head with the cup.

International Classification:

A61F 2/40

US Classification:

623 1913, 623 1911, 623 1912, 623 1914

Abstract:

A shoulder implant assembly constructed in accordance to one example of the present disclosure includes a frame member, a cup, and a glenosphere. The frame member can have a central hub and a first arm extending therefrom. The frame member can be configured to selectively and alternatively couple with first shoulder implant components in a traditional shoulder configuration and with second shoulder implant components in a reverse shoulder configuration. The cup can have a concave surface that is configured to articulate with a humeral head component. The cup can be selectively coupled to the frame member in the traditional shoulder configuration. The glenosphere can have an outer articulating surface that is configured to articulate with a second cup. The glenosphere can be selectively coupled to the frame member in the reverse shoulder configuration.

Assignee:

BIOMET MANUFACTURING CORP. - Warsaw IN

International Classification:

A61B 17/56

US Classification:

606 86 R

Abstract:

An instrument for internal bone fracture fixation includes a shaft having a distal portion and a patient-specific bone holder coupled to the distal portion. The bone holder has a three-dimensional curved and patient-specific bone engagement surface designed during a preoperative plan based on a medical scan of a patient to match and conform to an outer surface of a bone fragment of the patient in only one position.

Assignee:

BIOMET MANUFACTURING CORP. - Warsaw IN

International Classification:

A61F 2/40

US Classification:

623 1913

Abstract:

A shoulder can include a fixed bearing having a generally spherical articulating surface configured to be coupled to a glenoid. The implant can also include a floating bearing member defining a first spherical bearing surface and a second planar articulating bearing surface. The implant can include a stem defining a stem planar bearing surface coupled to the second planar articulating bearing surface. The second planar articulating bearing surface can cooperate with the stem planar bearing surface to enable the floating bearing to translate relative to the stem.
