A system and method to facilitate bone grafting, the system including a rasp configured to prepare the grafting surfaces of a recipient, a sizer configured to determine the dimensions of a graft for abutment with the grafting surfaces, a cutting guide configured to receive bone stock and to facilitate producing the graft in proportion to the sizer, a measuring pan configured to determine the amount of grafting substance required to fill the void in the graft, and a holding device configured to stabilize the graft as the grafting substance is placed in the graft.

An implant comprising two or more bone fragments that are combined to form a single unit. Cancellous bone or cortical bone is removed from a source and fashioned into bone components with desirable shapes and sizes. The bone components may be integrated to form implants for implantation in the body. Bone stock may be formed by combining sections of various bones of the body, and the bone stock may be further fashioned for use as implants with particular geometries.

A method of balancing extension and flexion gaps in a knee joint includes preparing a tibial component seating surface at a proximal end of a tibia, extending the knee joint and measuring an extension gap between the tibial component seating surface and a distal end of a femur, and flexing the knee joint and measuring a flexion gap between the tibial component seating surface and a posterior region of the femur. The extension gap is compared with the flexion gap to determine an amount of bone that is to be removed from the posterior region of the femur for balancing the extension gap with the flexion gap.

A synovial joint implantable apparatus for the reconstruction of skeletal defects with a flexible member, which is preferably resorbable, attached to a rigid structural prosthesis such as a total hip or total knee replacement implant. The cavitary space defined and surrounded by the flexible member is filled with osteoconductive and / or inductive materials which eventually matures into new column of bone. The prosthesis is supported by the bed of graft material surrounding it and is gradually unloaded as the bed matures into solid bone. The fixation of the prosthesis into native bone depends on the specific implant and the anatomic area of its use. The flexible member is secured to the margins of the prosthesis using rails, runners, sutures, or other attachment devices that prevent the escape of the bone graft and maintain an initial column of support for the implant. Should the metal implant even need removal, the reconstituted bone can be separated from the implant in such a way as to restore bone stock and facilitate future revision surgical procedures.

A tibial support structure includes a platform portion and a medullary portion that are monolithically formed as a single piece. The medullary and platform portions of the augment component are adapted to accommodate and mechanically attach to a tibial baseplate, and are individually shaped and sized to replace damaged bone stock both within the tibia, as well at the tibial proximal surface. The monolithic formation of the tibial support structure provides a strong and stable foundation for a tibial baseplate and facilitates restoration of the anatomic joint line, even where substantial resections of the proximal tibia have been made. The tibial support structure may be made of a bone-ingrowth material which facilitates preservation and rebuilding of the proximal tibia after implantation, while also preserving the restored joint line by allowing revision surgeries to be performed without removal of the tibial support structure.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for securing a glenoid baseplate to a resected glenoid cavity in a preoperatively planned position. Image information obtained from the glenoid cavity and surrounding scapula is analyzed to determine the location of optimal bone stock. A guide is designed based on the image information, the guide having a patient specific contact surface that contacts a surface of the bone in a preoperatively planned position. The guide is designed to have a cannulated portion including a specific length. A marking pin having at least one reference feature is drilled into the glenoid cavity. The length of the cannulated portion of the guide is based on a location of the at least one reference feature on an outer surface of the marking pin. A cannulated reamer guided by the marking pin is then used to resect the glenoid cavity until a stop surface of the cannulated reamer contacts an end of the marking pin.

A method of attaching or reattaching a ligament, tendon, cartilage or other soft tissue to a bone mass has the steps of: positioning or placing the ligament, tendon, cartilage or other soft tissue adjacent to the bone mass; anchoring or otherwise fastening the ligament, tendon, cartilage or soft tissue to the bone mass; and transmitting shock waves to the ligament, tendon or other soft tissue and the bone mass. Preferably the ligament, tendon, cartilage or other soft tissue is positioned in the path of the emitted shock waves and away from geometric focal volume or point of the emitted shock waves. The shock waves may be transmitted during the surgical procedure or post operatively in one or more treatment dosages or both. In so treating the ligament, tendon, cartilage or other soft tissue should be positioned at a distance away from any geometric focal point to minimize hemorrhaging. The soft tissue may include cartilage or muscle tissue. In the case of cartilage, the tissue can be inserted into a bone mass prepared cavity and optionally anchored there by a covering bone plug.

A cleaning module for cleaning bone stock used in surgical procedures. The cleaning module includes a shell. The shell defines a void space to receive the bone stock. A cutter is located within the void space. A shaving tube is coaxially disposed about the cutter to move at different speeds and / or directions relative to the cutter. When actuated, the cutter rotates to clean the bone stock by cutting soft tissue from the bone stock. A tumble plate reorients the bone stock, while an arm moves across the tumble plate from a disengaged position to an engaged position to press the bone stock into the cutter through a window in the shaving tube. A drive assembly actuates the cutter, shaving tube, arm and tumble plate.

A glenoid component is provided to reduce glenoid loosening when implanted in orthopedic joint replacement / reconstruction, such for a shoulder. The glenoid component can include pegs or a keel and articulating surface geometry that uses complex, non-spherical geometry to recreate a level of constraint that is adequate, but not excessive, to thereby mitigate loosening of the glenoid component after implantation. In addition, some embodiments provide that peak stresses both within cement and at an interface of the cement and a supportive component can be reduced. Further, geometry of the pegs can allow stresses to be evenly applied to a cement mantle formed in the supportive component. Finally, the pegs can be configured to desired lengths in order to avoid placement in areas of the supportive component, for example, that have insufficient bone stock.

The disclosure provides examples of an open architecture anchor for securing soft tissue to bone, for example, to repair a torn rotor cuff. The anchor includes a helical screw thread having a base and two sidewalls that are non-linear. The non-linear sidewalls extend from opposing ends of the base and meet at a peak. The non-linear sidewalls are circumscribed within a triangle defined by the peak and ends of the base. Compared to the standard triangle profile, the helical screw thread profile has a smaller cross-sectional surface area and, consequently, removes less bone. The helical screw thread having the reduced cross-sectional area preserves bone stock and enhances the holding strength of the anchor in bone.

A bone mill assembly provides a drive motor with a reducer. The drive motor is connected to a non-rotating coupler which is connected to a main drive cutting head. A mill housing consists of a manual feed chute or a pneumatic feed chute that shuttles the bone stock onto the main drive cutting head of the mill. The bone stock is ground to a smaller particle size and then shuttled by rotation onto a straight secondary blade. This chops the particle size even smaller and then is sized by an internal window sieve. If the particle size is small enough, the bone particulate passes through the sieve into a collection pan. If the particle size is too large, it will then be rotated back up within the housing to be processed again by the main cutting head. Different sizes of the main cutting head are used for customer specific applications.
