摘要： For a membrane encapsulated joint implant sealed under vacuum, a joint implant includes an outer cup, an inner cup, a joint head, a joint membrane, a lubricant, and an implant stem. The outer cup attached at a proximal bone. The nests within the outer cup and receives a joint head, the inner cup comprising an inner cup rim. The joint head is disposed within the inner cup and forms a bearing that rotates within the inner cup. The joint membrane sealed to the inner cup rim and vacuum seals the joint head within the inner cup to form a capsular space. The lubricant is disposed within the capsular space. The implant stem that is attached to a distal bone and that attaches through the joint head through the joint membrane.

摘要： A selectively expanding spine cage has a minimized cross section in its unexpanded state that is smaller than the diameter of the neuroforamen through which it passes in the distracted spine. The cage conformably engages between the endplates of the adjacent vertebrae to effectively distract the anterior disc space, stabilize the motion segments and eliminate pathologic spine motion. Expanding selectively (anteriorly, along the vertical axis of the spine) rather than uniformly, the cage height increases and holds the vertebrae with fixation forces greater than adjacent bone and soft tissue failure forces in natural lordosis. Stability is thus achieved immediately, enabling patient function by eliminating painful motion. The cage shape intends to rest proximate to the anterior column cortices securing the desired spread and fixation, allowing for bone graft in, around, and through the implant for arthrodesis whereas for arthroplasty it fixes to endpoints but cushions the spine naturally.

摘要： Non-articulating semi-rigid spinal implants include upper and lower rigid endplates that define at least one aligned pair of rigid male and female members. The respective female member having an interior facing cavity and the respective male member facing toward the female cavity. At least one elastic member resides in each female member cavity. The device can include an optional housing with at least one bore for each of the at least one aligned pairs of female and male members. The housing bore is sized and configured to snugly encase each respective aligned pair of endplate male and female members while leaving an upper outer surface of the upper endplate and a lower outer surface of the lower endplate exposed.

摘要： A selectively expanding spine cage has a minimized diameter in its unexpanded state that is smaller that the diameter of the neuroforamen through which it passes in the distracted spine. The cage conformably engages between the endplates of vertebrae to effectively distract the anterior disc space, stabilize the motion segments, eliminate pathologic spine motion, or effect vertebral body replacement. Angular deformities can be corrected, and natural curvatures restored and maintained. The cage enhances spinal arthrodesis by creating a rigid spine segment, or if filled with compressible substances, the cage can be used for motion preservation between vertebral bodies. Expanding selectively (anteriorly, along the vertical axis of the spine) rather than uniformly, the cage height increases and holds the vertebrae with fixation forces greater than adjacent bone and soft tissue failure forces in natural lordosis. Stability is thus achieved immediately, enabling patient function by eliminating painful motion. The cage shape intends to rest proximate to the anterior column cortices securing the desired spread and fixation, allowing for bone graft in, around, and through the implant for arthrodesis whereas for arthroplasty it fixes to endpoints but cushions the spine naturally.

摘要： A tibial insert of a complete posterior stabilised knee prosthesis, noticeably of a trial prosthesis, has a base (5) on the upper part of which are formed one or several concave contact surfaces with one or several condyles of a femoral part, and a tibial stud (6) made to protrude, particularly perpendicularly from the base. The tibial stud is detachable from the base, and comprises a pin (12), coming from its lower surface, of a greater length than the thickness of the base. The base includes a bore (9) through which the tibial stud passes made to protrude below the lower surface than the base, opposite the upper surface.

摘要： Apparatus and methods for treating a spinal disc are disclosed. An opening is created in the annulus fibrosis, and nucleus pulposus is removed from the interior of the disc. The interior is lined with a nonporous, bioabsorbable liner, and filled with a fill material, such as nucleus pulposus, to cause the liner to expand to engage tissue surrounding the interior. The liner may be a sheet of extra-cellular matrix material that is introduced into-the interior, or a bladder of extra-cellular matrix material including a neck communicating with an interior region of the bladder. The sheet or bladder may be carried by a delivery device, e.g., a catheter or rod. After the interior region is filled, the opening is closed using a plug or other closure device. The plug may include threads on its external surface for securing the plug in the opening.

摘要： An energy delivery device includes a handle member having a connector on its distal end, the connector including an electrically conductive region. An electrically insulated elongate element extends from the distal that terminates in an uninsulated distal tip. During use, a needle connected to a syringe is inserted through tissue, e.g., into the interior of a spinal disc. A therapeutic agent is delivered through the needle, and then the syringe is disconnected from the needle. The elongate element is inserted into the needle until the distal tip extends beyond the distal end of the needle, and the connector connects the needle to the conductive region. Electrical energy is delivered from a source of electrical energy via the distal tip and the needle to tissue surrounding the passage to close the passage as the needle is withdrawn.

摘要： A joint prosthesis assembly includes a stem for disposition in a canal of a first bone constituting a first portion of the joint, a neck fixed to the stem, a collar fixed on the neck and having a peripheral groove, and an articulating head fixed on the neck. The assembly further includes a cup for disposition in a second bone constituting a second portion of the joint, an insert disposed in the cup to provide an interior lining for the cup, the insert being configured to receive the articulating head for movement therein, and the insert having a peripheral groove therein. A sleeve-shaped membrane is provided with a first O-ring fixed thereto at a first end thereof for disposition in the insert groove, and a second O-ring fixed thereto at a second end thereof for disposition in the collar groove. The membrane is thereby disposed to capture particulate debris generated by the articulating head in the insert. There is further contemplated a method for installing the assembly.
