    摘要: A sleeve component for engagement with a prosthetic component, such as a revision femoral component, compensates for bone loss and/or anatomical anomalies. In one embodiment, the sleeve includes a compensating region which provides an eccentric outer surface for offsetting proximal, posterior bone loss in the patient's femur. The sleeve has a bore through which the stem of a femoral component is insertable. The inner walls of the bore taper so as to complement a proximal outer surface of the stem when the sleeve abuts a shoulder portion of the femoral component. In one embodiment, the compensating region is defined by a radius which is offset from the longitudinal axis of the sleeve. In another embodiment, the compensating region is defined by a radius extending from the longitudinal axis and having an increased length.

    摘要: A bone fixation device such as a screw, pin, staple, cable or anchor has a microtextured contact surface to enhance installation or gripping characteristics, preferably by providing directional or anisotropic engagement. A surface texture comprised of patterned microfeatures imparts a roughness or actual mechanical engagement that prevents loosening. In different embodiments the features resemble an array of microbumps or pyramids, or anisotropic features such as rasp teeth, shingles, or slanted cantilevered fiber/rods. The use of microbumps present a smaller surface area when moving, while providing full area contact after the surfaces have relaxed or decompressed; installation may be effected with low force, while high static or resting friction prevents disengagement. Features with directional asymmetry or angled suspension allow the textured surface to slide or deflect when the fixation device moves in one direction, while presenting a high resistance to torque or linear motion when moved in the other direction. Manufacturing is achieved with ion beams or directional treatment with energetic radiation, and regular arrays of the microfeatures may be produced as stationary surface growth phenomena without the use of pattern masks or mechanical contact. One manufacturing apparatus rotates the fixation device about a longitudinal axis while it is irradiated along an oblique axis. A bone pin may have centrally-directed spurs that allow a multi-segment fracture to be securely pinned without threading. An elastic fastener body such as a screw or pin can be pre-tensioned to place the bone under a torsional or compressive load, or introduce strain at the healing site.

    摘要: A knee joint prosthesis includes a femoral component, a tibial plateau and a tibial bearing member. The design and geometry of the articulation surfaces of the condylar elements of the femoral component and tibial bearing member is such that contact area between the articulation surfaces is maximized both in perfect alignment and in malalignment conditions. Moreover, contact stresses placed upon the articulation surfaces in perfect alignment and in malalignment are reduced. High contact area and low contact stress on the articulation surfaces can be maintained even while matching knee prosthesis components of different sizes.
