摘要:
Augments systems and methods for attaching two or more augments to an underside (50) of a tibial baseplate (16) are disclosed. An augment system (100) can include a first augment (102) having a superior surface (106) and an inferior surface (108), the superior surface configured for attachment to the underside of the tibial baseplate. The augment system can include a second augment (104) having a superior surface (110) and an inferior surface (112), the superior surface configured for attachment to the inferior surface of the first augment. The first and second augments can be formed of different materials. One or more additional augments can be used with the first and second augments, and the augment system can be stacked on a resected surface of the tibia. In an example, the augment that directly contacts the resected surface of the tibia can be formed of a porous material, such as to facilitate bone growth.

The present invention relates to plugs (10,560) for filling vacancies in bone tissue. The plugs (10,560) include a body (12,566) and at least one endcap (14,16,562,564) that are coupled together and may be formed from bone. The body (12,566) of the plug (10,560) may be a sleeve (202,566), and the plug (10,560) may further include an insert (572) configured and dimensioned to be received in the sleeve (202,566).
摘要:
The present invention relates to an implant comprising two or more bone fragments that are combined to form a single unit. Cancellous bone or cortical bone is removed from a source and fashioned into bone components with desirable shapes and sizes. The bone components may be integrated to form implants for implantation in the body. Bone stock may be formed by combining sections of various bones of the body, and the bone stock may be further fashioned for use as implants with particular geometries.
摘要:
This invention is a knee mechanism for lower limb prosthesis which maintains knee stability over an initial range of flexion and includes an upper member (1) for connection to or forming part of the thigh component of a prosthesis, a lower member (2) for connection to or forming part of the shin component of a prosthesis, and a slider (3) and a crank (5) connecting the upper member (1) to the lower member (2). The locus of the instantaneous center of rotation of the mechanism is a curve which commences above the knee and posterior to the load line and which, over an initial range of flexion of the mechanism, moves continuously downwards and to the posterior, the curve being convex towards the posterior. The lower members (2), the slider (3) and the crank (5) preferably constitute a slider crank mechanism with the crank (5) pivotally connected to the upper and lower members (1, 2) and the slider (3) pivotally connected to the lower member (2) and slidably connected to the upper member (1). At full extension the crank (5) is inclined posteriorly upwardly, with the pivotable connection with the upper member (1) located below the pivotable connection with the lower member (2). The slider is located in a tract (4) which forms part of the upper member (1) and may move with a rolling or sliding contact. The pivotal connection of the slider with the lower member (2) is located posterior to the pivotal connection with the crank (5).
摘要:
An augmentation system for an implantable bone prosthesis, such as a femoral component of a knee joint prosthesis, includes an augmenting block (12) having an aperture (14) disposed therein. A collet (16) having an expandable distal end (16), extending beyond one surface of the augmenting block, is positioned within the aperture. The proximal end of the collet includes a cavity (17) that receives an expansion pin (20) that is adapted to communicate with the collet to expand the collet. The distal end of the collet is adapted to fit within a mounting cavity (35) of a joint prosthesis. With the augmenting block placed on the appropriate surface of the joint prosthesis, the distal end of the collet is positioned within the mounting cavity. Advancement of the expansion pin causes the distal end of the collet to expand, thus frictionally and/or mechanically engaging the interior walls of the mounting cavity to firmly secure the augmenting system to the prosthesis. The expansion pin can include threads which mate with corresponding threads within the cavity of the collet. Alternatively, the pin and collet cavity can include ratchet and pawl-like surface features.

An augmentation system for an implantable bone prosthesis, such as a femoral component of a knee joint prosthesis, includes an augmenting block having an aperture disposed therein. A collet having an expandable distal end, extending beyond one surface of the augmenting block, is positioned within the aperture. The proximal end of the collet includes a threaded cavity that receives a set screw which is adapted to communicate with the collet to expand and contract the collet. The distal end of the collet is adapted to fit within a mounting cavity of ajoint prosthesis. With the augmenting block placed on the appropriate surface ofthejoint prosthesis, the distal end of the collet is positioned within the mounting cavity. Tightening of the set screw causes the distal end of the collet to expand, thus frictionally and/or mechanically engaging the interior walls of the mounting cavity to firmly secure the augmenting system to the prosthesis.
