A glenoid component is provided to reduce glenoid loosening when implanted in orthopedic joint replacement/reconstruction, such for a shoulder. The glenoid component can include pegs or a keel and articulating surface geometry that uses complex, non-spherical geometry to recreate a level of constraint that is adequate, but not excessive, to thereby mitigate loosening of the glenoid component after implantation. In addition, some embodiments provide that peak stresses both within cement and at an interface of the cement and a supportive component can be reduced. Further, geometry of the pegs can allow stresses to be evenly applied to a cement mantle formed in the supportive component. Finally, the pegs can be configured to desired lengths in order to avoid placement in areas of the supportive component, for example, that have insufficient bone stock.

An orthopedic device and method of use are provided that incorporate complex, non-spherical articulating surfaces to allow a greater available range of motion compared with existing artificial shoulder joint and artificial hip joints. According to some embodiments, complex, non-spherical articulating surfaces can be incorporated on a humeral head and/or glenoid of a shoulder prosthesis. In other embodiments, complex, non-spherical articulating surfaces can be incorporated on the acetabulum and/or femoral head of a hip prosthesis. These non-spherical surfaces can be used to adjust constraint, joint thickness, soft tissue tension, moment and arc of motion, and in doing so, influence motion.

The present inventions relate to devices and methods that improve the positioning and fit of orthopedic reconstructive joint replacement stem implants relative to existing methods. For example, an embodiment of the device provides a stem component comprising proximal and distal body portions that can be configured to mimic a geometric shape of a central cavity region created in a bone of a joint for improving conformance and fixation of the stem component thereto. Further, another embodiment provides a system of stem implants that each have a unique medial offset for facilitating the matching of an implant to the geometry of a central cavity region of a bone. Additionally, an inclination angle of a resection surface of each of the implants in the system can remain constant or vary as a function of the medial offset.

Rollers are positioned between first and second thrust washers and in contact with first and second raceways. The rollers being held within a cage that is mechanically retained by axially directed lips of the thrust washers. A third thrust washer is positioned against an axially outward surface of the second thrust washer and extends radially outwardly of the second raceway. The third thrust washer has a resilient retention tab extending through at least two slots of the second thrust washer that are located radially outwardly from the second raceway, such that the third thrust washer is mechanically secured to the second thrust washer by a snap-together assembly.

A thrust bearing assembly has inner and outer races having radially directed portions with a free outer edge. A selective washer is positioned over the free edge of one of the outer and inner races, the selective washer being engageable with that race to retain the selective washer to the thrust bearing assembly. Rolling elements are positioned between the inner race and the outer race and are retained within a bearing retainer. Axially inwardly extending flanges of the inner and outer races locate and retain the outer and inner races and the bearing retainer together as a thrust bearing assembly.

An oscillating bearing is disclosed for a variable-displacement axial piston hydraulic machine having a swashplate with a convex semi-cylindrical bearing face with provisions for attaching the oscillating bearing, and a housing with a concave semi-cylindrical bearing saddle. The oscillating bearing includes thin outer and inner race members having centered openings and formed in arcs congruent with the concave surface of the bearing saddle of the housing and the convex bearing face of the swashplate, respectively. The outer race member has support means on at least one axial end for supporting a timing member which engages a timing feature of the swashplate and synchronizes motion for all parts of the oscillating bearing, and the inner race member has means for holding the inner race against the convex bearing face of the swashplate. A separator is interposed between the inner and outer race members, the separator being formed in an arc having inner and outer surfaces parallel to the proximal surfaces of the race members, the separator also having an axially centered opening and two additional substantially rectangular openings axially spaced from the axial ends of the separator and the centered opening. The additional openings serve as pockets for anti-friction rollers.
