A femoral hip implant includes a first end, a second end, and a collar with a porous surface, all fabricated from a single piece of material. The entire area of the collar is porous, and the collar elastically deflects under load to promote bone ingrowth.

A medical implant system is described for inhibiting infection associated with a joint prosthesis implant. An inventive system includes an implant body made of a biocompatible material which has a metal component disposed on an external surface of the implant body. A current is allowed to flow to the metal component, stimulating release of metal ions toxic to microbes, such as bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and viruses. One detailed system is completely surgically implantable in the patient such that no part of the system is external to the patient while the system is in use. In addition, externally controlled devices are provided which allow for modulation of implanted components.

An orthopaedic prosthesis for use in a hip replacement surgery. The orthopaedic prosthesis includes an elongated stem component that has a proximal body, a neck extending superiorly and medially from the proximal body and a tapered stem extending inferiorly from the proximal body. An anchor is positioned on the neck and is configured to be engaged by a surgical instrument. A system for use in assembling the orthopaedic prosthesis and a method of assembly are also disclosed.

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.

To provide a bioimplant capable of controlling a rate of an antibacterial agent and an antibiotic to be eluted from the coating film. An evanescent coating film made of a calcium phosphate-based material having crystallinity of 90% or less is formed at a predetermined area of the bioimplant and an antibacterial agent or an antibiotic is contained in the coating film. If necessary, a metal oxide layer made of a metal oxide having an isoelectric point of less than 7 is formed on the bioimplant thereby suppressing adhesion of bacteria.

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.

A medical device for treating hip joint osteoarthritis in a human patient by providing at least one artificial hip joint surface is provided. The hip joint having a ball shaped caput femur as the proximal part of the femoral bone with a convex hip joint surface towards the centre of the hip joint and a bowl shaped etabulum as part of the pelvic bone with a concave hip joint surface towards the centre of the hip joint. The medical device comprises the artificial hip joint surface comprising at least one of; an artificial caput femur or an artificial caput femur surface comprising, a convex form towards the centre of the hip joint, and an artificial acetabulum or an artificial acetabulum surface comprising, a concave form towards the centre of the hip joint. The artificial convex caput femur or the artificial convex caput femur surface is adapted to be fixated to the pelvic bone of the human patient and the artificial concave acetabulum or artificial concave acetabulum surface is adapted to be fixated to the femoral bone of the human patient.

A medical device for delivering an action to an area of a hip joint or its surroundings, inside a human body, is provided. The hip joint of a patient comprises a collum femur and a ball shaped caput femur, being the proximal parts of the femoral bone, and an acetabulum, being a bowl shaped part of the pelvic bone. The medical device comprising; an elongated member, having a length axis along its elongated distribution, comprising a first portion, adapted to enter the body of the patient, and a mechanical element, adapted to be used during an operation in the hip joint or its surroundings, inside the body. The first portion of the elongated member comprises a holding member adapted to hold the mechanical element inside the body of the patient, wherein the first portion of the elongated member have a first portion cross-section area substantially perpendicular to the length axis of the elongated member. The first portion is adapted to pass through a hole, in a bone of the patient, the hole having a hole cross-section area. The first portion cross-section area, is adapted to be smaller than said hole cross-section area. The mechanical element have a functional status, ready to deliver said action inside said body, when held by the holding member inside the body of the patient. The mechanical element is adapted to have a mechanical element cross-sectional area substantially perpendicular to the length axis of the elongated member, substantially larger than the first portion cross-sectional area and adapted to be unable to pass through the hole, when the mechanical element is in the functional status.

An implanted prosthesis for orthopedic and dentistry surgeries having a short body implant and an internal channel having an arborization system of orifices for delivery the necessary osteo-forming substances is disclosed. The implanted prosthesis can be created by additive manufacturing and includes a short body portion having a helicoid on the exterior wall, a collar, a neck, which are all aligned on the longitudinal axis of the prosthesis. The prosthesis neck has a hexagonal orifice for the insertion of dynamometric screwdriver to fix prosthesis in place. The hexagonal orifice communicates inside the body with a cylindrical orifice of variable length and diameter, which further communicates with the arborization system of orifices that provide lateral feed with cement and osteo-forming substances, and anchoring. In the middle of the central chamber there is a small threaded area in which a syringe to introduce cement or a threaded cap can be screwed.
