摘要:
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.

A augmented glenoid implant assembly for use in performing shoulder arthroplasty is provided. The augmented glenoid implant assembly is used for cooperation with the glenoid fossa of a scapula. The implant assembly includes a first component for attachment to the scapula. The first component defines a support surface for cooperation with the glenoid fossa, a second surface positioned adjacent a buttress formed in the glenoid fossa and an assembly surface. The implant assembly also includes a second component removably secured to the first component. The second component includes an assembly face of the second component. The assembly surface of the second component is in close approximation to the assembly surface of the first component. The second component further includes an articulating surface opposed to the assembly surface.

A modular prosthesis allows two portions to be secured together with a selectable discrete relative angular orientation. A spline secured to one portion has projections which engage grooves in a cavity of the other portion to prevent angular motion between the portions. The spline and the cavity may be tapered to allow a pressure fit. Teeth secured to each portion may be used instead of a spline to secure the two portions in a selected discrete angular orientation. Alternatively, a pin may secure the portions together to prevent their relative angular movement. An additional securing means may also be used in combination with each of the above embodiments to further secure the two portions together.

Various implant systems and methods of implantation are disclosed herein. The systems and methods allow a surgeon to accurately determine a suitable fastener trajectory for attaching certain components of the implant system to bone in this manner, an appropriate fastener trajectory can be selected and used during a surgical procedure to ensure better purchase and attachment of the various components of the implant system to the bone.

摘要:
A prosthetic device and a method of implanting same between two vertebrae of a vertebral column to stabilize the column, according to which each vertebrae is engaged by a spacer, and the spacers are connected to permit relative movement between the spacers so that the distance between the spacers can vary to conform with the distance between the vertebrae and accommodate bending movements of the vertebral column.
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.
摘要:
Apparatus and methods for partially embedding a biocompatible material, such as a titanium coil, in the surface of a polymer bone implant to provide a porous coating for bone cells to grow through thereby promoting long term stabilization of the implant. In one embodiment, the coil is wrapped around the implant and placed in a manifold where rollers biased by springs press against the coil. The coil-implant is rotated and heated by a hot gas stream, the rollers-springs pushing the coil into the surface of the implant. In a second embodiment, the coil is compressed and placed onto a needle wire which is placed against the surface of the implant. The point of contact is heated and the implant is rotated with the needle wire creating a channel in the softened polymer and feeding the coil, which is simultaneously stretched, therein. The needle wire then pulls the polymer over a portion of the coil as it passes. In a third embodiment, the coil is wrapped around the implant with an optional titanium foil then wrapped around the coil-implant. A ceramic clamp comprising at least two ceramic parts is placed around the foil(if used)-coil-implant and held in place by a nonconductive, elastic material. The coil-implant is then inductively heated with the coil being pushed into the softened surface of the implant by the pressure applied by the ceramic parts being compressed together by the elastic material. Alternatively, the titanium coil may be wrapped around the implant in sufficient tension that it will embed itself when inductively heated, without using the ceramic clamp and elastic material to apply pressure.
摘要:
A system and method for improving mechanical assemblies, such as prosthetic implants, intended to be installed in living tissue such as bone. Force-imparting devices are adapted and may include angularity, which may be introduced with specialized additive manufacturing, which may impart congruent cross-sections while providing variable stiffness. In some cases, the variable stiffness may be “stretchy” in a longitudinal direction and “rigid” in a radial directional which may provide an assembly bias. Additive manufacturing may allow the material of a prosthesis to be varied (e.g., density/porosity) to create variable stiffness over a length.
