A modular bone fixation implant can include a bone plate, a post insert, a staple, and a bone screw. The bone plate includes a post aperture extending through a first end, a screw aperture extending through a second end, and a staple aperture at an intermediate location. Expandable arms disposed radially about the post axis include outward-facing bone engaging features which are forced outward to anchor the bone plate within a bone when the post insert is inserted through the post aperture. The post insert can comprise a polymer penetrable by screws such that the interior body of the post insert can serve as an anchor point for bone screws inserted laterally from a variety of angles, forming a modularly customizable implant for the midfoot or other bones.

Systems and methods for additive-manufactured biocompatible implants. Many embodiments are directed to 30-printed biocompatible resins for fabricating custom implants. In several embodiments, the biocompatible resin is based on a ratio of biocompatible polymers. The biocompatible resin, in accordance with various embodiments, incorporates an antibacterial and / or antimicrobial agent, In some embodiments, the biocompatible resin incorporates a bioceramic to mimic native tissue.

Systems and methods include a component of a bone implant that includes a patient specific bone contacting surface and, optionally, at least one protrusion adjacent to or extending from the patient specific bone contacting surface. The at least one protrusion is configured for engaging a bone preparation in the bone. To prepare the bone for receiving the component, one or more cutting tool templates may be used. The one or more cutting tool templates may be fabricated to have a patient specific bone contacting surface that engages the bone that is to receive the implant component. A cutting tool is engaged in one or more of one or more slots defined by the cutting tool template(s) to remove surface portions of the bone to create the bone preparation for engaging the protrusion. The patient specific bone contacting surface of the component engages the bone.

Current treatments for surgical site infections that are caused by fungi or bacteria with antibiotics and antifungal agents are usually based on the prolonged intravenous administration or use of polymethyl methacrylate cements after removing the prosthesis and cleaning the surrounding tissue, which requires another surgical procedure. However, an administration system that avoids high body exposure to the antimicrobial agent and prevents the patient from having to undergo a new surgery would be more desirable. The present invention discloses 3D printed implants with biocompatible and biodegradable polymers comprising medicinal drugs with immediate-sustained release, having a reduced haemolytic profile, which easily adhere to the prostheses, exhibit a good in vitro efficacy profile against different fungal and bacterial strains and can be sterilised by means of UV light due to the thinness thereof.

Custom patient-specific interbody implants, systems, and methods of generating custom implants. The implants may include upper and lower surfaces with an irregular surface topography, which are custom contoured to match the adjacent vertebral endplates of a specific patient. The method may include uploading images of the spine for the patient and processing the images into a virtual three-dimensional model of the spine including topography of individual vertebral bodies. The user may automatically and / or manually manipulate the virtual three-dimensional model to pre-operatively simulate a desired correction to the spine. The virtual implant model may be generated based on the desired correction and the topography of adjacent vertebral bodies.

A system configured to design a customized implant includes a cutting tool, a tracker, and design software. The cutting tool is configured to resect bone from an anatomical bone along a cutting path, thereby creating a contoured bone surface. The tracker is configured to track at least a portion of the cutting path and store the at least a portion of the cutting path in a memory. The design software is configured to design an implant having a contoured implant surface that matches the contoured bone surface based at least in part on the stored cutting path.
