摘要:
An implant (100, 200, 300, 500) includes a base (120, 220, 320, 520), a flange (142, 144, 146, 242, 244, 246, 342, 344, 346, 542, 544, 546), and ridge (150, 250, 350A, 350B, 350C, 550). The flange extends from the base. The ridge extends from the flange. A hole extends through the flange and the ridge. A system with the implant includes a fastener (160, 260, 560) extending through the ridge of the implant. The implant is placed into bone by securing a base of the implant to a main complementary contact surface of bone and by securing a ridge extending outwardly from a flange of the implant to a secondary complementary contact surface of bone spaced from the main complementary contact surface.

An orthopaedic device (1) for the mobile connection of a first bone segment (4) with a second bone segment (5) of an organic system to replace or assist a damaged joint (2) comprises a first component (10) that can be associated with the first bone segment (4) and a second component (11) that can be associated with the second bone segment (5); the first and second components (10, 11) are coupled virtually or physically by a spherical kinematic pair centred at a point (O) that is the centre of a 1-degree-of-freedom spherical motion representing the real relative spatial motion between the first bone segment (4) and the second bone segment (5); the device (1) also comprises connecting elements (20, 21) which guide the relative motion between the first and the second bone segment (4, 5).
摘要:
The invention relates to a femoral prosthesis part, the metaphyseal part of which comprises a series of geometric sections (SA to SG) which are disposed in parallel to the transverse plane at equidistant levels. The aforementioned geometric sections are provided with a quadrilateral shape having strongly rounded summits. The two long sides of said sections converge in the medial direction and each section lies inside a geometric quadrangle which is located in the plane. The four sides of said quadrangle intercept, respectively, four geometric lines (m, l, a, p) which are obtained by projecting the profiles of the internal surface of the cortical bone. The above-mentioned geometric sections pivot in relation to one another in internal rotation from the bottom upwards in order to obtain the desired helitorsion angle.

The invention relates to an articular prosthesis comprising an articulation cavity (21) for an articulation body (15), in a head section (13) of a base part (11). The position of the articulation body (15) used in the articulation cavity (21) defines the subsequent collar axis for an articulation part mounted on the articulation body (15). The articulation cavity (21) has a tapered lateral surface (25) which co-operates with an articulation surface (43) that is symmetrical to a pivoting axis. Said articulation surface has a circular edge (43). In a cutting plane perpendicular to the pivoting axis (45), which passes through the contact point (55) between the lateral surface (25) and the circular edge (43), the radius (63) of the circular edge (43) is larger than the radius (65) at the apex of the cutting curve (61) between the cutting plane and the lateral surface (25). Two contact points can thus be created between the circular edge (43) and the lateral surface (25), said contact points being located on different sides of a plane containing the rotational axis (30) and the pivoting axis (45). In this way, a rolling movement of the articulation body (15) in the articulation cavity (21) is prevented.
摘要:
An implant is provided for replacing a portion of an articular surface. The implant includes a body portion having a recess. An insert is disposed in the recess. The body portion and insert provide a load bearing surface of the implant, with the load bearing surface including regions of the insert and regions of the body portion. The insert may be formed from a lubricious and shock absorbing material, providing a low friction and shock absorbing region of the load bearing surface.

Acetabulum cup (10) for arthro-prosthesis of the hip comprising an inner surface (12) of a hemispherical conformation and a shaped edge (13), which edge (13) has an anatomical and asymmetric profile, different for the left and right sides with respect to a vertical diameter thereof (Z), so that an angle of ante-version (ß) defined by said edge (13) varies from an upper end (Ps) to a lower end (Pi) of said vertical diameter (Z).
摘要:
Methods, systems and apparatus for planning the position of a prosthesis in a long bone in orthopaedic surgical procedures, such as hip replacement surgery, knee replacement surgery, long bone osteotomies, and the like. A bone model is generated from a scanned image of a bone, a prosthesis model is selected from a library of prosthesis models and then a cavity model is formed based on the prosthesis model and/or the bone model. The cavity model may then be positioned over the bone model, either interactively by the surgeon or automatically through an algorithm based on clinical parameters, to determine a reasonable location for implantation of a prosthesis within the bone. The cavity model allows the surgeon to optimize placement of the implant within the bone, and it provides important clinical information to the surgeon, such as areas in which press fits are provided, extension areas for possible subsidence and access areas for allowing the surgeon to insert the implant into the cavity.
摘要:
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:
A joint prosthesis designed to replace the carpometacarpal joint of the human thumb. A first element which replaces the articular portion of the first metacarpal mates with a second element which replaces the articular portion of the trapezium. Articulation of the said first and second elements is provided by abutting toroidal mating surfaces which are complementary sections of the surfaces of identical toruses having center hole diameters equal to the diameters of the tubes. Contact of the mating surfaces is only along a pair of curved lines in perpendicular planes providing open spaces for lubrication of the joint by biological fluids.
