ORTHOPEDIC BLOCK INSERTS

摘要

Systems, devices, and methods are provided for inserts and orthopedic blocks adapted to receive the inserts. The orthopedic blocks include one or more voids, each having a plurality of receiving portions configured to receive a cutting insert, a sleeve insert, any other suitable orthopedic inserts, or any combination thereof. The inserts include an outer surface that is configured to couple with the receiving portions. In certain embodiments, the inserts are removably coupled to the orthopedic blocks. In certain embodiments, the inserts are integrally provided on the orthopedic blocks or other components. Metal inserts provided in polymer orthopedic blocks can reduce the amount of wear debris compared to wear debris which would occur from a cutting instrument contacting the polymer block directly.
