Provided herein are hip implant devices and related surgical methods. The hip implants and methods can optionally be used in patients of Asian descent.

A method of manufacturing a femoral stem for a hip implant includes forming a femoral neck extending from a proximal end of the femoral stem towards a distal end of the femoral stem, forming an upper section connected to and extending from the femoral neck towards the distal end of the femoral stem, and forming a lower section connected to and extending from the upper section to the distal end of the femoral stem. Further, a method for designing a femoral stem for a hip implant includes generating a customized femoral stem model to match an information of a patient, generating at least one proximal-distal solid rib in the upper section, calculating density and stress distributions for an open lattice and for a closed lattice, and selecting a unit cell type and a pore size for the open lattice and the closed lattice to match a density and/or a stiffness of the patient's femur.

A hip/shoulder prosthesis includes: a head component; a metaphyseal component; a diaphyseal nail, and a locking device. The head component includes: a front face and rear face; with a bore, and first and second shaped recesses in the rear face. The metaphyseal component includes: a central transverse aperture at an angle to the metaphyseal component's axis; a first end configured for threaded engagement within the bore of the head component; and a longitudinal hole that begins at the second end, transects the transverse aperture and reaches the first end, to receive the locking device. The diaphyseal nail is inserted in the femoral or humeral canal, and includes: fastening apertures that receive corresponding screws for fastening the diaphyseal nail to the femur or humerus; a portion configured to be received within, and engage, the transverse aperture of the metaphyseal component, and a transverse hole configured to receive the locking device.

A method of manufacturing a femoral stem for a hip implant includes forming a femoral neck extending from a proximal end of the femoral stem towards a distal end of the femoral stem, forming an upper section connected to and extending from the femoral neck towards the distal end of the femoral stem, and forming a lower section connected to and extending from the upper section to the distal end of the femoral stem. Further, a method for designing a femoral stem for a hip implant includes generating a customized femoral stem model to match an information of a patient, generating at least one proximal-distal solid rib in the upper section, calculating density and stress distributions for an open lattice and for a closed lattice, and selecting a unit cell type and a pore size for the open lattice and the closed lattice to match a density and/or a stiffness of the patient's femur.

A femoral stem prosthesis features a proximal section and a distal section, both of which have a medial edge and a lateral edge. The proximal section is generally wider in a medio-lateral direction than the distal section. The proximal section and the distal section both taper inwardly in a medio-lateral direction such that an anterior-posterior thickness of the medial edge is greater than an anterior-posterior thickness of the lateral edge.

Disclosed are femoral stem for hip implants, and methods of design and manufacture thereof. A femoral stem for a hip implant, comprising a femoral neck extending from a proximal end of the femoral stem towards a distal end of the femoral stem; an upper section connected to and extending from the femoral neck towards the distal end of the femoral stem, wherein the upper section comprises at least one proximal-distal solid rib flanked by an open lattice; and a lower section connected to and extending from the upper section to the distal end of the femoral stem, wherein the lower section comprises a closed lattice enclosed in a solid skin. Such femoral stems for hip implants are customized and manufactured using 3D printing technologies and provide a lightweight alternative to conventional him implants.

An orthopedic prosthesis for use in a hip replacement surgery. The orthopedic prosthesis includes a metallic foam shell and a metallic core. The metallic core includes a neck configured to receive a femoral head component and a stem extending through the metallic foam shell.

Described is a femoral component of a prosthetic hip implant. The femoral component can include: a neck portion; and a stem portion including a proximal end and a distal end. The neck portion extends from the proximal end, and the stem portion comprises a first solid portion and at least one additional portion including at least one of a hollow portion, a porous portion, and a second solid portion comprised of a different solid material from a solid material of the first solid portion. The first solid portion and the at least one additional portion are in a predetermined configuration. The femoral component comprises a unitary component that is formed by additive manufacturing of the femoral component from a 3D model of the femoral component.

Orthopaedic implants and corresponding instrumentation are disclosed. More particularly, a femoral implant and a corresponding broach are presented for surgically repairing a hip joint. The femoral implant includes an elongated stem configured to be inserted within an intramedullary canal of a patient's femur. The femoral implant configured to maximize fit within the intramedullary canal. The orthopedic broach may include differential tooth patterns. For example, the broach may include first, second, and third separate and unique tooth patterns. In use, the various tooth patterns are located in specific locations on the broach to achieve a specific purpose to thereby optimize engagement between the patient's intramedullary canal and the femoral implant. In various embodiments, the broach is specifically matched to mimic the femoral implant, and specifically the teeth (compaction teeth) formed on the proximal region of the broach are matched to the porous coating formed on the implant.

A femoral neck prosthesis (10) with a cross-section defined by a perimeter comprising: first and second arcuate portions (12, 14) disposed opposite one another; and first and second substantially straight portions (16, 18) disposed opposite one another and in between the first and second arcuate portions, wherein the first and second straight portions are non-parallel with respect to one another.
