摘要:
A pin for the anchoring of articular prostheses includes a connecting portion (4) with a prosthesis (2) and an engagement portion (5) in a hole obtained within a bone. The engagement portion (5) is at least partly deformable in a radial direction and in a resilient way, in order to allow the instantaneous blocking of the pin (1) in the hole and the primary fixing of the prosthesis (2) on the bone, so as to al low an easy primary fixing of the prosthesis by simply introducing with a pressure the connecting portion in the hole obtained within the bone itself.
摘要:
A system and method for placing an implant into or onto supporting bone, or between adjacent bones, without impaction is disclosed. The system includes an implant, a distracter, and a sleeve. Optionally, the invention includes an alignment guide, a surgical navigational tracker, and a bone displacer. The sleeve is structured to interpose the implant and supporting bone and provide a differential engagement force between the sleeve-implant interface and the sleeve-bone interface to preferentially move the implant into, onto or between supporting bone structures.
摘要:
An orthopaedic implant (10) for replacing the surface of a bone, such as in a joint arthroplasty, includes a bone facing surface (14) for mating with the prepared end of the bone. The surface has a porous coating (15) to promote bone ingrowth. A bioresorbable post (20) extends from the bone facing surface for engagement within a prepared cavity or bore in the bone. The bioresorbable material of the post is selected so that the post will not be substantially resorbed into the existing bone until substantial bone ingrowth has been achieved in the porous coating.
摘要:
The invention relates to an endoprosthesis for replacing the ankle joint. Said endoprosthesis consists of a component (4) that is to be connected to the talus and forms an upper sliding surface (10), a component (3) that is to be connected to the tibia and forms a lower sliding surface (7) and an intermediate part (5), which forms two sliding surfaces (15, 16) that co-operate with the sliding surfaces (7, 10) of the tibia component (3) and the talus component (4). When viewed from the frontal cross-section, the intermediate part (5) is wedge-shaped with a wedge angle of between 1° and 12°.
摘要:
An endoprosthesis used to replace an ankle joint, comprising a lower component (4) which is joined to the ankle bone (2), an upper component (3) which is joined to the shinbone (1) and an intermediate part (5) which forms a slip joint with the lower and upper components. An intermediate part (5), whose sagittal section is wedge-shaped, is provided in order to compensate for anatomical or operative irregulararities. The frontal or sagittal section of the upper component (3) can also be wedge shaped.
摘要:
Inverse prosthesis of the shoulder for the articulation of a humerus (12) in a scapula (11) of a shoulder having a glenoid cavity (15), comprising a first articulation element (35), at least partly concave and attached to the top of the humerus (12), and a second articulation element (25), partly convex, associated with the glenoid cavity (15). The outer part of the second articulation element (25) is made of or lined by plastic or ceramic material, whereas the first articulation element (35) is made of non-polymeric anti-wear metal or ceramic material.
摘要:
A glenoid component (10), which can be secured to a glenoid surface (12) of a scapula (14) so as to provide a bearing surface (44) for a head portion (20) of a humerus (18), includes a body (22) having a first surface (32) configured to contact the glenoid surface (12) of the scapula (14) and a second surface (26) configured to receive the head portion (20) of the humerus (18). The glenoid component (10) also includes an interruption such as a buttress (24) extending from the body (22). The interruption (24) is configured to be received in a like-configured notch formed in the glenoid surface (12) of the scapula (14). The interruption (24) helps prevent movement of the glenoid component (10) relative to the glenoid surface (12) of the scapula (14) after implant. The body (22) also may include anchoring (38) extending from the body (22) for penetrating the glenoid surface (12) of the scapula (14) so as to help secure the body (22) to the glenoid surface (14) of the scapula (14). The glenoid component (10) is used in one application to help correct bone defects and in another application for wear.
摘要:
A long bone prosthesis includes upper and lower articulating components, with the free ends of the components configured to engage a corresponding prosthetic joint. The overall length of the articulating components is adjustable to approximate the length of a patient's long bone, such as the humerus. The articulating components include a stem and collet arrangement for fixing the relative axial and rotational position of the components. A tapered lock nut is threaded onto the outer threaded surface of the collet portion to provide a pressure engagement of the articulating elements. Various surface features can be implemented among the components of the prosthesis to enhance the pressure fixation, restrict rotation or provide indexed movement of the articulating components relative to each other.
