Anterior stabilized knee implant
A posterior cruciate ligament retaining knee implant prosthesis comprising a femoral component including a medial condyle and a lateral condyle separated from one another by an intercondylar channel adapted to accommodate throughput of a native cruciate ligament, both the medial condyle and the lateral condyle posteriorly terminate individually, the medial condyle including a medial condyle bearing surface and the lateral condyle including a lateral condyle bearing surface, the femoral component including an anterior cam, and a tibial component including a medial condyle receiver having a medial condyle receiver bearing surface, the tibial component also including a lateral condyle receiver having a lateral condyle receiver bearing surface, the tibial component also including an anterior post.
Patellofemoral implant with porous ingrowth material and method of manufacturing same
An orthopaedic implant includes: a base including a molding material; a first porous ingrowth material region coupled to the base; a second porous ingrowth material region coupled to the base; and at least one barrier insert coupled to the base, the barrier insert including a barrier material that is configured to prevent introduction of the molding material of the base into some pores of the first porous ingrowth material region and some pores of the second porous ingrowth material region during molding of the base.
KNEE PROSTHESIS
A knee joint prosthesis system for implantation in a first knee joint of a patient. The first knee joint has a condition. The knee joint prosthesis system includes a tibial baseplate component, a femoral component having a femoral articulation surface, and a tibial insert. The tibial insert includes a tibial articulation surface configured to articulate with the femoral articulation surface. The tibial articulation surface includes a medial tibial compartment asymmetrical to a lateral tibial compartment. The tibial articulation surface is shaped to cooperate with the femoral articulation surface to adapt kinematics of the first knee joint having the condition and the tibial articulation surface is also suitable for implantation in a second knee joint on a second side, the second knee joint lacking the condition.
Composite structure porous implant for replacing bone stock
A porous implant for repairing lost bone stock such as around a prosthetic joint is provided. The porous implant has a composite structure with a solid structure and a porous structure which may be formed monolithically by direct metal laser sintering. The solid structure includes a support structure which extends into the porous structure.
Knee augment
A knee prosthesis kit includes an implant and an augment. The implant has a base and a stem extending from the base, and the augment has a base and a conical, cylindrical, or anatomic portion extending from the base. The augment base has at least two openings for receiving fasteners for securing the knee augment to the implant. The portion and the base define a bore for receipt of the implant post. A coupler includes a mating portion for receipt in a bore of an implant post, and a cone-shaped portion extending from the mating portion. A method of providing fixation of knee implants includes securing an augment to an implant and positioning a conical, cylindrical, or anatomic portion of the augment within the intramedullary canal of the tibia or femur.
ENDOPROSTHETIC ROTATING HINGE KNEE ASSEMBLIES, SUBASSEMBLIES, AND METHODS
Assemblies, systems, kits, and methods related to an endoprosthetic rotating hinge assembly. The exemplary embodiments disclosed herein can comprise a preassembled rotating hinge subassembly having a hingedly rotating femur box configured to be mechanically engaged to a femoral component via a femur fastening mechanism, the femur fastening mechanism being non-axially aligned with a tibial axis of rotation when the knee is in flexion or extension.
CONNECTION STRUCTURE OF POROUS SURFACE STRUCTURE AND SUBSTRATE, PREPARATION METHOD FOR CONNECTION STRUCTURE, AND PROSTHESIS
The present invention discloses a connected structure of a porous surface structure and a substrate, a method for preparing the same, and a prosthesis of the same. The connected structure consists of a pre-connected or integrally formed composite body of a porous surface structure and an intermediate; and a substrate, which is connected to said intermediate to achieve the connection of said composite body to the said substrate; the composite body comprising a first composite region corresponding to a first stiffness; a remaining composite region in the composite body other than the first composite region, which at least contains a second composite region corresponding to a second stiffness; and the first stiffness is less than the second stiffness. The present invention achieves a fastened connection between the composite and the substrate and largely maintains the mechanical properties of the substrate; and it provides a prosthesis with excellent bone ingrowth properties and that the strength of the substrate is not substantially affected.
