Variable thickness femoral augments

A femoral assembly includes a femoral component that includes condylar portions and an anterior flange portion. The condylar portions and anterior flange portion together define an outer side of the femoral component for articulating with a tibial prosthesis and an inner bone facing side opposite the outer side. The inner bone facing side defines five intersecting component inner surfaces that each extend from a lateral side of the femoral component to a medial side thereof. A femoral augment includes condylar portions and an anterior flange portion. The condylar portions and anterior flange portion together define an outer side of the femoral augment comprised of five intersecting augment outer surfaces and an inner side comprising no more than three intersecting augment inner surfaces. The augment outer surfaces correspond to the component inner surfaces of the femoral component. The augment inner surfaces correspond to resected surfaces of a distal femur.

ANATOMICALLY SHAPED AUGMENTS

Augments for implantation of an orthopedic implant device in a bone. A distal end of an outer portion of the augment can have a shape that is configured to generally conform to the shape of a metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction of an intramedullary canal of the bone. Further, a proximal end of the outer portion of the augment has a shape that is configured to generally conform to a shape of the metaphyseal region of the intramedullary canal. Additionally, the shape of the outer portion at the distal end can be separated from the shape of the outer portion at the proximal end by a distance that is approximately equal to the distance between the metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction and the metaphyseal region of the intramedullary canal.

BIONIC ARTIFICIAL HIP JOINT
20210045882 · 2021-02-18 ·

The invention discloses a bionic artificial hip joint. The artificial hip joint includes a femoral stem located above corpus femoris, and a convex force-bearing part is provided on the femoral stem. The force-bearing part abuts against the inner side of the cortex on greater trochanter and bears a part of the longitudinal stress; its hollow design is convenient for bone grafting, so that the prosthesis and the greater trochanter can be integrated. Replacement surgery can preserve the hard cortex on the greater trochanter, providing another focus point for the femoral stem and further improving the stability of the connection between the bionic artificial hip joint and corpus femoris.

Patellar implant

A patellar implant includes a body and at least one oblique anchoring pin. The body includes a bone-facing surface that is substantially planar and has a lateral end and a medial end. The body also includes an articulating surface opposite the bone-facing surface. The at least one oblique anchoring pin extends from the bone-facing surface at an acute angle toward the lateral end of the bone-facing surface. The at least one oblique anchoring pin includes a first end attached to the bone-facing surface and a second end spaced from the first end. A longitudinal axis extends from the first end to the second end. The longitudinal axis defines the acute angle with respect to the bone-facing surface. The at least one oblique anchoring pin extends into a surgically-prepared patella when the patellar implant is such that the surgically-prepared patella abuts the bone-facing surface.

Augments and methods for implanting hip prostheses
10687947 · 2020-06-23 · ·

A method of securing an orthopedic hip prosthesis to an acetabulum of a living being. The prosthesis can be a shell or a cup, and the surgery can be a total hip arthroplasty such as a revision total hip arthroplasty. In some examples the method can include placing an augment at a bone surface of the acetabulum, applying a layer of fixation material over the bone surface in an amount sufficient to cover the augment, and then implanting the prosthesis over the layer of fixation material to secure the prosthesis to the layer of fixation material. In various aspects of the method, the augment can be an anchor or a spacer.
