Embodiment Construction

[0030] The description of the exemplary embodiments is intended to be read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings which are considered a part of this entire written description. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and some features may be shown in exaggerated scale or in somewhat schematic form for the sake of clarity and conciseness. In the specification, relative terms such as "horizontal", "vertical", "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom" and their derivatives ("horizontally", "downwardly", "upwardly" etc.) should be understood to mean directions as then described or as shown in the figures in question. These relative terms are for convenience of description and generally are not intended to require a particular orientation. Terms including "inwardly" versus "outwardly," "longitudinally" versus "transversely," etc. are interpreted as appropriate relative to each other or relative to an axis of extension, or an axis of rotation or a center of rotation. Unless expr...

Abstract

In some embodiments, the surgical method includes forming an incision in the patient, exposing a multi-part prosthesis implanted in the patient, detaching at least one part of the multi-part prosthesis, and coupling a first revision implant part to The first part of a multi-part prosthesis. The revision implant portion has a body including at least one of a protrusion or an opening complementary to a feature of the first portion of the multi-part prosthesis to couple the revision implant portion to the first portion of the multi-part prosthesis.

Description

technical field [0001] Augments, assemblies, systems, and methods of the present disclosure relate to orthopedic implants. More specifically, augments, assemblies, systems, and methods of the present disclosure relate to augment inserts for orthopedic implant correction. Background technique [0002] A total joint replacement is an orthopedic implant used to repair or replace a natural joint. Examples of common joints replaced by a total joint replacement include, but are not limited to, the hip, ankle, and shoulder. The ultimate goal of any total joint prosthesis is to approximate the function and structure of the natural healthy structure of the prosthesis being replaced. In many instances, gaps form in the patient's bone near the implant site due to prolonged osteolysis. These gaps can loosen the fixation of the prosthesis in the patient, causing greater problems for the patient. Contents of the invention [0003] In some embodiments, the surgical method includes fo...
