Moment induced total arthroplasty prosthetic
A prosthetic total knee replacement system comprises a distal femoral implant component, a tibial tray implant component and a fixed bearing tibial tray insert. The fixed bearing tibial tray insert is fixed to the tibial tray and articulates with the distal femoral implant component. The fixed bearing tibial tray insert component has a medial-lateral centerline and a stabilizing post. The stabilizing post has a medial-lateral centerline offset laterally from the medial-lateral centerline of the fixed bearing tibial tray insert.
Orthopaedic fixation assembly, system, and method of use
An orthopaedic fixation assembly for prosthetic biologic attachment. The orthopaedic fixation assembly may include a main body with a longitudinally-extending stem having a proximal end, a distal end, and a cavity body. An anchor plug may be configured to be received within the stem cavity, and securable thereto via complementary mating surfaces. A spindle structure may be fixedly attached to the proximal end of the longitudinally-extending stem and protrude outwardly therefrom such that a portion of the structure extends externally beyond the resected cavity of the bone that may prevent rotational motion of the spindle. The spindle structure may have at least one compliant biasing member configured to apply a compressive force to the surrounding bone. A porous coating may be at the juncture between stem and spindle structure, on the spindle, and the splines and anti-rotation chocks, improving the initial stability of the implant and facilitating long-term bone ingrowth.
CRUCIATE REPLACING ARTIFICIAL KNEE
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.
CRUCIATE REPLACING ARTIFICIAL KNEE
A knee joint prosthesis is capable of moving between an extended position and a flexion position. The knee joint prosthesis includes a femoral component that is configured to be mounted to a femur, and a tibial component that is configured to be mounted to a tibia. The femoral component and the tibial component are at least partially connected together by a geared arrangement.
CRUCIATE REPLACING ARTIFICIAL KNEE
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 configured to engage the femoral component to form the knee joint prosthesis. A projection extends from one of the femoral component and the tibial component, and a track is disposed in the other of the femoral component and the tibial component. The projection is positioned within the track to guide relative motion between the femoral component and the tibial component.
CRUCIATE REPLACING ARTIFICIAL KNEE
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.
Reverse shoulder prosthesis
Embodiments of an implant assembly for reverse shoulder arthroplasty is disclosed. In one embodiment, the implant assembly comprises a humeral component and an adaptor coupled to the humeral component. The humeral component comprises a stem portion and a neck portion. The stem portion is configured for fixation to a humerus, and the neck portion is angularly oriented relative to the stem portion. The adaptor comprises a first bearing surface and a second bearing surface opposite the first bearing surface. The first bearing surface interfaces with an articulating surface of the neck portion to allow the adaptor to rotate relative to the humeral component in a plane that is generally parallel to the articulating of the neck portion. The second bearing surface is configured to interface with a glenosphere component to allow the glenosphere component to articulate relative to the adaptor.
MECHANICALLY COUPLED REVISION HIP SYSTEM AND METHOD
An acetabular hip implant includes a plurality of rings secured to an acetabular shell component. A method of fabricating a customized, patient-specific version of such an implant is also disclosed.
Temporary spacer device for joints of the human body
A temporary spacer device for a joint of the human body such as a knee joint includes a first component or femoral component, adapted to be constrained to a bone or to the femoral bone of a patient, at the joint of the human body; a second component or tibial component, adapted to be constrained to a bone or tibial bone of a patient, at the joint of the human body, and at least one stem having a proximal end, wherein the first component or femoral component and/or the second component or tibial component include at least one housing seat for the proximal end of the at least one stem, adapted to allow the inclination and/or rotation of the at least a stem with respect to an insertion axis of the proximal end into the at least one housing seat.
CONVERTIBLE GLENOID IMPLANT
A glenoid implant including a base plate and an articular component. The base plate can include a body and a support structure extending from a distal surface of the body. The body can include a plurality of openings. The articular component can be configured to removably couple to the base plate. The articular component can include a recessed portion configured to at least partially receive the body of the base plate. At least one engagement structure can protrude from a distal facing surface of the recessed portion. Each engagement structure can correspond to one of the plurality of openings in the body. A distal face of the articular component surrounding the recessed portion can be configured to abut the subchondral bone.
