摘要:
The invention relates to a biocompatible component comprising a substrate having a surface having a hierarchical surface structure comprising a microstructure, a primary nanostructure superimposed on said microstructure, and a secondary nanostructure superimposed on said primary nanostructure. The invention provides an implant surface which is improved in respect of osseointegration and biomechanical interaction with bone tissue.

A generic bone implant, or set of standardized implants, is created based on using a guide device to develop an axis normal to an articular surface of bone and collecting only one or two data points. A generic cutting tool is used to cut the bone to a point where a generic implant can be used. Several improved tools relating to the procedure for using such an implant, as well as methods for using implants consistent with the invention are further described, including: single-axis and biaxial drill guide tools and methods, generic single-axis implant methods and devices, generic biaxial implant methods and devices, tools and methods for holding or delivering an implant, removal or revision tools and methods, digital measuring systems and methods, and set of measuring gauges for determining the appropriate implant dimensions.

摘要:
An implant (40) for installation into a portion of an articular surface (50) includes a protrusion (45) configured to cover and un-excised portion of articular surface proximate to the implant (40). Another implant may form a cavity to allow the un-excised portion of articular surface to remodel over a perimeter edge of the implant. The implant (40) may also includes indentations (6805) such as grooves (6807) to promote articular cartilage remodeling over a portion of the load bearing surface of the implant (40). An elongated or non-round implant (6600) is also provided having two opposing concentric arcuate shaped sides (6611, 6612), as well as a method to seat such an implant in an articular surface. A method for seating an implant without cutting articular cartilage is also provided.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for modification of a biocompatible component comprising the steps of a) providing a biocompatible component at least partly covered by metallic oxide; and b) treating at least a part of said component, which part is covered by said metallic oxide, with an aqueous composition comprising oxalic acid; whereby a modified metallic oxide is obtained. The invention also relates to a biocompatible component comprising a substrate having a surface comprising a) a microstructure comprising pits separated by plateus and/or ridges; and b) a primary nanostructure being superimposed on said microstructure, said primary nanostructure comprising depressions arranged in a wave-like formation.

The invention concerns a set of femoral stems comprising a stem (1) designed to be impacted in a bone cavity with cement and a stem (2) designed to be impacted in said cavity without cement. The invention is characterized in that the cross-section of each of the stems (1) and (2) is different and determined to enable their being set after passing a single file which is identical in dimension to the cement-free stem (2) whereof the cross-section is determined to ensure immediate self-locking following impingement; the stem (1) designed to be impacted with cement, is self-centered in the metaphyseal part through a portion at the cervical section identical in front and saggital dimensions to the file and centered in the metaphyseal part by a closure plug (3), said stem (1) including a central through channel (1a) for injecting the cement and its discharge outside to fill the space between the stem and the bone.
摘要:
The present invention provides tools and mehods for mapping and measuring the articular surface of a joint (or of any bony surface) and for fabricating a prosthetic device based on this recorded data. In one embodiment, once the defect of the chondral surface has been identified, a guide pin (20) is inserted arthroscopically. A fixation screw (10) is driven into the subchondral bone in relation to a reference axis that is approximately central to the defect, the fixation device also serving to define a tangent point to the surrounding articular surface. A measuring tool (70) having a static post that establishes the axial location of origin is inserted on the reference axis. Data recorded during the mapping procedure is entered into parametric engineering design software of similar algorithm to define a three dimensional surface matched to the bearing surface geometry to be implanted and reproduce the anatomic contours mapped.
