A method for implantation of non-spherical, asymmetric implants is provided that includes devising a pre-surgical plan with pre-operative planning software operating on a computer to define at least one of shape, orientation, type, size, geometry, or placement of the non-spherical, asymmetric implant in an operative bone of a subject. A computer assisted surgical device is used to place the non-spherical, asymmetric implant. The implant is positioned within the bone by the computer assisted surgical device in accordance with pre-surgical plan. A non-spherical, asymmetric implant for insertion in a bone formed of separate stem, neck, and head portions and suitable for implantation by the method is also disclosed.

A partial hip prosthesis for reducing friction and wear in partial hip prosthesis by combining optimized geometry of the articulation and surface treatment of the prosthetic component. In the prosthesis, one of the articulating surfaces—either that of the reamed acetabulum, or that of the femoral head prosthesis is a-spherical so that a fluid-filled gap is formed at the area of major load transfer. The fluid-filled gap is sealed by an annular area of contact, over which the concave and the convex components are congruent. A prosthetic head is fixed to the femur by either a conventional stem, a perforated shell, or a femoral neck prosthesis screwed onto the femur so that it is partially covered by bone and partially exposed on the medial-inferior aspect, where it abuts the reamed cortex of the calcar region.

A ball and socket assembly including a ball component with a notch formed therein. The socket is a one-piece structure including an opening sized to receive the ball component. The ball is a capable of being inserted into the socket when the notch, cavity, or undercut is properly oriented relative to the opening of the one-piece socket.

In one embodiment a method of implanting a prosthetic includes implanting a first member including a concave articulation surface portion defined by a first radius of curvature in a first bone, implanting in a second bone a second member including a first convex articulation surface portion defined by a second radius of curvature and a second convex articulation surface defined by a third radius of curvature, wherein the second convex articulation surface is defined by the lemon portion of a spindle torus and each of the second radius of curvature and the third radius of curvature has a length that is different from the length of the first radius of curvature by less than 0.05 millimeters and wherein the origin of the second radius of curvature is not coincident with the origin of the third radius of curvature, and bringing the first member into slidable contact with the second member.

Femoral heads, mobile inserts, acetabular components, and modular junctions for orthopedic implants, e.g., hip replacement implants, and methods of using femoral heads, mobile inserts, acetabular components, and modular junctions for orthopedic implants are provided. Prosthetic femoral heads, mobile inserts, and acetabular components are provided that can alleviate soft tissue impingement, reduce implant wear, and/or reduce frictional torque. Modular junctions are provided that can minimize the incidence of loosening and micromotion that can occur at modular junctions of orthopedic implants.

The present disclosure provides an artificial alpha femoral stem prosthesis which includes a femoral stem cone, a femoral neck and a stem body connected integratedly, wherein a tool operating hole is arranged at upper end of the the femoral neck; the stem body comprises a proximal segment of the femoral stem, a middle segment of the femoral stem and a distal segment of the femoral stem, and there is a deflection angle between the femoral neck and the stem body.

The present disclosure provides a cobra type femoral stem prosthesis, that is a femoral stem prosthesis for congenital dysplasia of the hip (CDH) which includes a femoral stem cone, a femoral neck and a stem body which are connected sequentially; the stem body includes proximal segment of femoral stem, middle segment of femoral stem and distal segment of femoral stem, wherein the femoral stem cone is a cone shape; One end of the femoral neck is connected with the proximal segment of femoral stem and there is a deflection angle therebetween and the other end of the femoral neck is connected with the large diameter end of the femoral stem cone.

A prosthetic hip joint is disclosed. The prosthetic hip joint includes a femoral component, which further includes a femoral head with a femoral head cavity and an acetabular component. The acetabular component includes an acetabular cup and an acetabular cup insert. The acetabular cup insert and the acetabular cup each has a through hole, where the through holes overlap a location of a native femoral head ligament.

A method of assembling a mobile bearing acetabular component of a prosthetic hip joint is disclosed. The method includes mounting an acetabular cup insert to an acetabular cup. The method includes concurrently repositioning the acetabular cup insert deeper into an interior of the acetabular cup and repositioning the acetabular cup insert outside of an outline of the acetabular cup.
