Disclosed herein are methods, compositions and tools for repairing articular surfaces repair materials and for repairing an articular surface. The articular surface repairs are customizable or highly selectable by patient and geared toward providing optimal fit and function. The surgical tools are designed to be customizable or highly selectable by patient to increase the speed, accuracy and simplicity of performing total or partial arthroplasty.
摘要:
A medical valve implant (10a, 10b) for implantation in an animal body and/or human body, comprising a base body (12a, 12b) that includes a collar (16a, 16b) extending in circumferential direction (14a, 14b), wherein the collar (16a, 16b) includes at least one first cell structure (18a, 18b) which is provided to form, in the intended end state, an intended inner cross section (24a, 24b) of base body (12a, 12b) that is matched to an intended outer cross section (20a, 20b) of an implant structure (22a, 22b). It is provided that the collar (16a, 16b) includes at least one second cell structure (26a, 26b; 28a, 28b; 30a, 30b) that can be moved relative to the at least one cell structure (18a, 18b), and at least one contact point (32a, 32b), wherein an outer contour (34a, 34b) of the base body (12a, 12b) is formed by the at least one first cell structure (18a, 18b) and at least the at least one contact point (32a, 32b) of the at least second cell structure (26a, 26b; 28a, 28b; 30a, 30b), and wherein the at least one contact point (32a, 32b) forms at least one extreme point (36a, 36b) of the outer contour (34a, 34b) relative to a geometric center of gravity (38a, 38b) of the base body (12a, 12b).

摘要:
A medical implant system is described for inhibiting infection associated with a joint prosthesis implant. An inventive system includes an implant body made of a biocompatible material which has a metal component disposed on an external surface of the implant body. A current is allowed to flow to the metal component, stimulating release of metal ions toxic to microbes, such as bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and viruses. One detailed system is completely surgically implantable in the patient such that no part of the system is external to the patient while the system is in use. In addition, externally controlled devices are provided which allow for modulation of implanted components.
