Abstract

A sacroiliac joint implant system includes a primary implant configured to be received in a sacroiliac joint of a patient and a secondary implant configured to couple with the primary implant. The primary implant includes a body extending from a proximal end to a distal end and a plurality of threads extending from the body. The secondary implant includes a first anchor configured to anchor within a sacrum of the patient and a second anchor configured to anchor within an ilium of the patient.

Claims (27)

1. A sacroiliac joint implant system, comprising:

a primary implant configured to be received in a sacroiliac joint of a patient, the primary implant comprising:

a cylindrical body comprising a head and a shank extending distally from the head, the body extending from a proximal end to a distal end; and

a plurality of threads extending from the shank of the body to provide fixation of the primary implant within the sacroiliac joint; and

a secondary implant configured to couple with the primary implant, the secondary implant comprising:

a ring configured to receive the head of the primary implant;

a plurality of arms extending laterally from the ring;

a first anchoring element configured to anchor within a sacrum of the patient, the first anchoring element extending at an angle from a first arm of the plurality of arms; and

a second anchoring element configured to anchor within an ilium of the patient, the second anchoring element extending at an angle from a second arm of the plurality of arms;

wherein the primary implant further comprises:

a longitudinal interior channel configured to receive bone graft material; and

a plurality of truss elements, the plurality of truss elements forming a plurality of openings exposed to an exterior of the primary implant and sized and configured to facilitate bone ingrowth;

wherein each of the first and second anchoring elements comprises a curved wedge having:

a plurality of openings sized and configured to facilitate bone ingrowth;

a plurality of truss elements, the plurality of truss elements forming the plurality of openings; and

a leading edge configured to cut bone.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the ring is configured to couple with the head of the primary implant to facilitate polyaxial movement of the primary implant relative to the secondary implant.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of openings of the primary implant extend between the channel and the exterior of the primary implant.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of openings of the primary implant are positioned about the primary implant so that at least some of the plurality of openings are positioned to contact the bone of the sacrum and at least some of the plurality of openings are positioned to contact the bone of the ilium regardless of an orientation of the primary implant when the primary implant is received in the sacroiliac joint of the patient.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the head of the primary implant is shaped to restrict proximal movement of at least a portion of the ring when positioned within an opening defined by the ring.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the shank of the primary implant comprises a smooth shank section proximal to the plurality of threads.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the body of the primary implant comprises a tapered distal end.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first anchoring element and the second anchoring element are integrally formed with one another.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the ring, the plurality of arms, the first anchoring element, and the second anchoring element are integrally formed.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the leading edge tapers to a sharp distal point.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the secondary implant tapers from a proximal end to a distal end to compress the sacroiliac joint when the first anchoring element is driven into the sacrum and the second anchoring element is driven into the ilium.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the curved wedge of each of the first anchoring element and the second anchoring element comprises a beveled distal end.
