摘要:
The invention relates to a device for testing a ceramic socket insert for hip joint implants having a receiving device, a pressure piece and optionally having a plunger, wherein the receiving device has a recess with a positioning region for receiving the socket insert and the recess has a receiving cone in the positioning region. According to the invention, in order for the device to be universally applicable to all socket inserts (monolithic, modular, pre-joined) and therefore replace all current devices, an annular ductile adapter piece having a conical outer surface contacting the receiving cone and an inner surface contacting the socket insert is arranged in the positioning region between the receiving device and the socket insert, wherein the friction between the receiving device and adapter piece is lower than between the adapter piece and socket insert.

The present disclosure provides, in certain aspects, unique methods and systems for connecting orthopedic components. In some forms, a male-type projection of a first orthopedic component is securely lodged within a female-type aperture in a second orthopedic component. In one embodiment, the projection, while received through a proximal entryway in the aperture, includes a first longitudinal region with deformed surface elements that provide a first securing zone within the aperture and a second longitudinal region with deformed surface elements that provide a second securing zone within the aperture. The first securing zone is located proximate the distal end of the projection, and the second securing zone is located proximate the proximal entryway of the aperture.
摘要:
A hip resurfacing femoral prosthesis has a partial ball component having an outer surface shaped to conform to an acetabular socket and has a mating sleeve component with an internal bore adapted to receive a femoral head. The head has been shaped and dimensioned to engage the bore and is retained by bone ingrowth, an interference fit or by bone cement. The ball component and sleeve axes may be offset to reposition the outer surface.

A cotyle including a metallic insertion acetabular shell having an outer, essentially hemispherical, convex anchoring face formed in such a way as to be anchored in a cotyloid cavity of the pelvis of a patient, and a concave receiving face. The cotyle also includes a fixed definitive articular ceramic insert having an outer face engaging in the concave receiving face of the metallic insertion acetabular shell, and an inner receiving face including a concave, essentially hemispherical, articular surface for allowing the engagement and pivoting of a femoral prosthesis head or a mobile articular insert. The cotyle is packed in its assembled sterile state, with the definitive fixed articular ceramic insert engaged in the metallic insertion acetabular shell having a peripheral receiving structure that can receive means for fixing an impacter for positioning a cotyle and is designed in such a way that the impacter can be fixed to the cotyle in the presence of the definitive fixed articular ceramic insert.

The present invention is directed to an implant for total hip joint replacement and a method for manufacturing such implant. In particular, the present invention relates to improved acetabular liners, total hip prosthetic assemblies comprising such liners and methods for manufacturing such liners.
摘要:
Inverse prosthesis of the shoulder for the articulation of a humerus in a scapula of a shoulder comprising a glenoid cavity. The prosthesis includes an at least partly convex articulation element, including elements for support and attachment to the glenoid cavity, and able to articulate with an at least partly concave mating articulation element, associated with the top of the humerus. The articulation element includes a substantially hemi-spherical element and a pin-type implant element made as distinct and reciprocally removable elements, so as to allow them to be assembled sequentially with respect to the glenoid cavity.

A prosthetic device, such as an acetabular cup, includes a shell, a liner and a bearing. The bearing may be coupled to the liner so as to form a bearing-liner subassembly. The shell is provided with a female taper complimentary to a male taper on the liner. The liner-bearing subassembly may be secured to the shell by engaging the complimentary tapers.

The endoprosthesis for a hip joint socket is provided with a plastic socket body, a metallic outer shell and a screw thread on the surface of the shell. The screw thread has a constant pitch with each turn of the screw thread having a length (L) of from 4 to 12 millimeters, a base width of from 0.15L to 0.2L and a crest width of from 0.025L to 0.05L.

Apparatus and methods for total elbow replacement are provided to allow a surgeon to intraoperatively select a linked or unlinked constraint by utilizing a connection located on the body of the ulnar and/or humeral stem. Additional modularity also allows the selection of a cemented or cementless stem as described herein. The modularity and adjustability provides a number of advantages.
