Abstract
Surgical implant systems, methods, and components are described herein. More particularly, the disclosure relates to joint arthroplasty systems, methods, and components. Particular embodiments described herein can be used to modify the subtalar joint (e.g., posterior facet of the subtalar joint), calcaneocuboid, talonavicular, and any other suitable joint. An exemplary implant system comprises a first implant component, a second implant component, and an insert.
Claims20
A system for use in a joint arthroplasty, the system comprising:
- a first implant component having a first implant proximal end, a first implant distal end, and a first implant body defining a substantially flat first implant surface, a substantially concave first articulating surface opposably facing the first implant surface, a first implant protuberance extending outward and away from the first implant surface and toward the first implant distal end from a first implant protuberance first end to a first implant protuberance second end, and a passageway extending from a first opening defined on the first implant proximal end to a second opening defined on the first implant protuberance second end;
- a second implant component having a second implant proximal end, a second implant distal end, and a second implant body defining a substantially flat second implant surface, a recess extending into the second implant body from a side opposably facing the second implant surface to a recess base, a second implant protuberance extending outward and away from the second implant surface and toward the second implant distal end from a second implant protuberance first end to a second implant protuberance second end, and a passageway extending from a first opening defined on the recess base to a second opening defined on the second implant protuberance second end;
- and
- an insert adapted to be releasably attached to the second implant component and having an insert articulating surface that is substantially convex and adapted to articulate with the first articulating surface.

- and
- an insert adapted to be releasably attached to the second implant component and having an insert articulating surface that is substantially convex and adapted to articulate with the first articulating surface.

- and
- an insert adapted to be releasably attached to the second implant component and having an insert articulating surface that is substantially convex and adapted to articulate with the first articulating surface.
