摘要:
A metacarpal-phalangeal and/or interphalangeal (1) prosthesis, particularly for joints in the hand or foot, comprising a pair of pins (2, 3) which can be implanted in bone adjacent to a joint to be restored and connected by a flexible joint (4) encapsulated in a protective enclosure formed from the same biocompatible material as the pins. The biocompatible material may be a mixture of plastic resins having high compatibility. The enclosure comprises a pair of half shells (5, 6) integral with the corresponding pins which extend axially on opposite sides of a longitudinal plane of symmetry (S) which perpendicularly intersects the axis of rotation (a) of the joint. In a first embodiment, axis (a) is defined by a cylindrical pin (13) inserted in the axial cavity in the half shells and free to rotate with respect to at least one axis with limited flexibility in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation (a). In a second embodiment the pin (13) is replaced by a cylindrical (13') or hemispherical (13') extension of one of the pins. Axis (a) may be defined by a helicoidal spring (14, 17) or by axial elastic wires (23, 24) anchored in the pins with transverse end plates (25, 26).
摘要:
A joint implant (10) is presented having an elongated cylindrical member (12) with an annular spacer (14) which accommodates the diameter of the cylindrical member by fitting loosely over the cylindrical member. The ends of the elongated cylindrical member are designed for insertion into the intramedullary canals (30) of adjacent bones while the annular spacer is designed to cushion the joint and maintain proper spacing between the bones.

Disclosed are sterile instruments and instrument kits for use in surgery, said instruments including a reamer assembly comprising a reamer depth stop and a reamer, a grommet placer instrument, and a sizing instrument for use in joint implant surgery. The invention also concerns a kit for use in joint implant surgery, comprising said reamer assembly, said grommet placer instrument, a wire guide, comprising a wire guide body, and a guide wire. A method for using one or more of the instruments and kit as described herein is also provided.
摘要:
An intramedullary implant has opposite ends inserted into bores in abutting phalanges for correcting hammer toe and for similar arthrodesis procedures. A rear end of the implant may be threaded and is received in a bore in the proximal phalanx. A front end has an asymmetric pointed shape with longitudinally and/or angularly spaced rear-facing gripping flukes. The pointed front end is received in the middle phalanx. The asymmetric pointed shape is self-aligning, enabling entry to begin without first longitudinally aligning the bones. The rear end when screwed into place can be rotated to select the orientation of the asymmetric pointed shape. The pointed front end is inserted and pushed to bring the phalanges into abutment where the implant holds them against retraction or rotational displacement.

- The invention concerns an arthrodesis implant (1) for promoting the bony fusion of two bones, said implant (1) comprising: o a rigid and non-deformable anchor body (4), designed to anchor the implant (1) in a first bone, o a deformable portion (5) designed to anchor the implant (1) in a second bone, said deformable portion (5) comprising at least two anchor arms (9, 10) that project from the anchor body (4) from the base end (7) of the latter, the anchor arms (9, 10) being separated from each other by a free space (E) so as to be able to be moved closer to each other by deformation of said anchor arms under the action of the second bone, and being characterised in that at least one of the anchor arms (9, 10) is provided with a longitudinal reinforcement fin projecting from the anchor arm (9, 10) from a lateral side (20) of the latter. - Osteosynthesis surgical implants.
摘要:
The invention comprises an implant having a first end section and a second end section, where the first end has a cancellous thread for implantation in a first section of bone and the second end includes expansion slots and barbs or wings, that that resist movement out of a second section of bone. These anchors expand outwardly when a rigid wire, such as a k-wire is fed through a central cannulation in the implant and either the wire expands in diameter or the cannulation decreases in diameter. The implant also includes a collar intermediate to the first and second section which includes one or more surfaces to allow the first section to be screwed into a first bone section.

An intramedullary anchoring stem (7) for an orthopaedic implant head. The stem is in one piece, is made of biocompatible material and is movable in relation to the head, with which it has connecting means (16), and it has a truncated or substantially truncated peg shape (11) at least partially recessed (21) longitudinally, and parallel or substantially parallel to the dorso-palmar plane (22).
