摘要:
An implantable modular orthopaedic hip prosthesis includes an implantable distal stem component having a tapered post which can be received into a tapered bore of an implantable proximal body component. A threaded bore extends inferiorly into the distal stem component, and an alignment key is secured to the superior surface of the distal stem component and extends superiorly therefrom.

An implant or endoprosthesis suitable to be implanted in human or animal tissue comprises two (or more than two) parts to be joined in situ. Each one of the parts comprises a joining location, the two joining locations facing each other when the device parts are positioned for being joined together, wherein one of the joining locations comprises a material which is liquefiable by mechanical vibration and the other one of the joining locations comprises a material which is not liquefiable by mechanical vibration and a structure (e.g. undercut cavities or protrusions) suitable for forming a positive fit connection with the liquefiable material. The joining process is effected pressing the two device parts against each other and by applying vibration, e.g. ultrasonic vibration, to one of the device parts when the two parts are positioned relative to each other such that the two joining locations are in contact with each other. Preferably, at least one of the device parts is fixed to the tissue before or during the joining process. Such fixing is advantageously effected with the aid of a further liquefiable material and mechanical vibration which results in an anchorage of the part by interpenetration of the tissue by the liquefiable material.

A prosthetic hip alignment apparatus includes a medical instrument (20) comprising a mount attachable to a bone and first (22), second (30), third (40) and fourth (60) members. Adjacent ones of the first, second, third and fourth members are rotatable with respect to each other about a first axis, and between one of the first to fourth members and another means permitting rotation about second and third axes is provided. One of the member mounts a level (64) and wherein one of said members mounts direction indicator (65).

A trial implant system and method of trialling are described. The trial implant system comprises a stem component (120) having a neck (122) including a free end (124) and a neck longitudinal axis (123). A first trial head (100) has an articulating surface (102) and includes a bore (108) having a bore longitudinal axis (106) and which can receive the free end of the neck with the neck longitudinal axis and bore longitudinal axis coincident. The system includes a first formation (126) and a plurality of second formations (128) angularly disposed around the longitudinal axis. One of the first formation and the plurality of second formations is provided on the neck and the other is provided within the bore. Each of the second formations can matingly engage with the first formation to limit the depth of insertion of the neck into the bore by a different amount.

A rotary tool implement for use in surgery includes an elongated shaft having a connector formed in its proximal end which can be fitted into the chuck of a rotary power tool. A series of differently coloured depth marks are provided on an outer surface of the shaft, positioned at locations on the elongated shaft corresponding to predetermined depths of operation of the rotary tool implement.
