Orthopaedic prosthetic system for a rotating hinged-knee prosthesis

An orthopaedic prosthesis includes a femoral component configured to be attached to a distal end of a patient's femur. A tibial tray is configured to be attached to a proximal end of a patient's tibia. A tibial insert is configured to rotate relative to the tibial tray. A modular insert is received in a cavity defined in the tibial insert. The femoral component is rotatably coupled to the body of the modular insert.

A knee joint prosthesis is configured to move between an extended position and a flexion position. The knee joint prosthesis includes a femoral component configured to be mounted to a femur, and a tibial component configured to be mounted to a tibia. The tibial component is configured to engage the femoral component to form the knee joint prosthesis. A post is fixedly connected to one of the femoral component and the tibial component and has a helical surface at a terminal end thereof. A recess is defined on the other of the femoral component and the tibial component and has a helical surface. The helical surfaces of the post and recess are configured to engage in order to cause relative rotation between the femoral and tibial components as the knee joint prosthesis moves between the extended and flexion positions.

A knee joint prosthesis is configured to move between an extended position and a flexion position. The knee joint prosthesis includes a femoral component configured to be mounted to a femur, and a tibial component configured to be mounted to a tibia. The tibial component is configured to engage the femoral component to form the knee joint prosthesis. A post is fixedly connected to one of the femoral component and the tibial component, and a cam recess is defined on the other of the femoral component and the tibial component. The cam recess is configured to engage the post in either the extended position or the flexion position of the knee joint prosthesis. An artificial ligament is fixedly connected to the femoral component and the tibial component to simulate either an anterior cruciate ligament or a posterior cruciate ligament.

Prosthetic implant caps

A prosthetic implant surface cap adapted for securement to an interface region of the prosthetic defined by articulating prosthetic implants. 3D printing or additive manufacturing is employed to form the surface cap adapted for securement to an identified interface region, in which the interface region is defined by engaging contact with adjacent skeletal structures in response to patient movement. The surface cap is disposed on the implant surface to contact the adjacent skeletal structures during articulated movement, and is adhered to the interface region of the prosthetic implant for absorbing and distributing the contact and frictional forces of the articulating skeletal members.

Patient specific carpal implant

A surgical implant for a wrist bone fabricated on a patient-specific basis is based on a combination of the patient's own anatomy and an anatomical ideal from a database of scan data, and provides a patient-specific implant that minimizes spacing tolerance between adjacent bones to allow native cooperation between tightly spaced wrist bones. The three lower skeletal structures in the human wrist, including the trapezium, lunate and scaphoid bones, share a close, integrated geometry with the adjacent arm bones (radius, ulna) and remaining wrist bones. In contrast to conventional approaches that rely on reshaped connective tissue or generically shaped replacements, a patient-specific prosthetic restores the original geometry and spacing between wrist bones, allowing individual bone replacement without removal or fusing to adjacent bones, thus restoring a natural range of movement.

A joint prosthesis system includes a femoral component that has an articular side, a bone facing side, and medial and lateral condylar portions. The medial and lateral condylar portions at least partially define an intercondylar recess located therebetween and have a first concave surface extending in a mediolateral direction across the medial and lateral condylar portions. A first modular component has a second concave surface and is connectable to the femoral component such that, when the first modular component is connected to the femoral component, the first and second concave surfaces come together to form a transverse opening extending in the mediolateral direction. A first tibial assembly has a baseplate component and a head extending therefrom. The head defines an axle opening that extends therethrough. An axle is configured to be received within the transverse opening and axle opening so as to connect the tibial assembly to the femoral component.
