摘要:
A reamer for reaming a portion of a long bone cavity for use in implanting a joint prosthesis. The reamer is used in cooperation with a portion of an orthopaedic implant component and includes an expandable body that is adapted to adjust between a plurality of diameters. A plurality of cutting edges are also included and extend outwardly from the body, the edges adapted for cooperation with bone, and the cutting edges expanding as the expandable body expands.

Surgical instruments and methods for use in implanting a modular femoral prosthesis during performance of a hip revision procedure are disclosed, and include a distal reamer operable to ream an intramedullary canal of a patient's femur during a surgical procedure. The distal reamer includes an elongated shank having a cutting head formed in a distal end of the elongated shank and a drive connector formed in a sidewall positioned at an opposite, proximal end of the elongated shank. The cutting head has a plurality of helical cutting flutes arranged in a geometry that corresponds with the geometry of the distal stem component. The drive connector has a female drive socket and a number of locking slots formed in the sidewall so as to open into the female drive socket.

A surgical instrument includes a finishing rasp having a longitudinal axis, an elongated shaft, a handle, and a cutting head. The elongated shaft has an outer circumference and a bore formed therein, and the bore has an open end defined in a distal end of the elongated shaft and a blind end positioned proximally of the open end within the elongated shaft. The handle is secured to an opposite, proximal end of the elongated shaft. The cutting head is secured to, and extends away from, the distal end of the shaft. The cutting head has a length that extends along the longitudinal axis and is arcuate in shape so as to extend around less than the outer circumference of the elongated shaft at the open end of the bore. The cutting head includes a plurality of linear cutting teeth that extend along the length of the cutting head.
摘要:
A method of milling a calcar region of the femur. The method includes using a miller assembly including a cutter and a frame. The frame has a longitudinal axis and a cutter mount for mounting the cutter at a first angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the frame. The cutter mount extends at the first angle from the longitudinal axis of the frame and receives a portion of the cutter and maintain the received cutter oriented at the first angle during rotation. The frame includes a handle that forms a portion of a drive joint for coupling the frame to a drill. The handle is coupled to the drill and the miller assembly is inserted into the femur such that the cutter is located in the calcar region. The drill is then operated, causing the cutter to rotate and mill bone in the calcar region.
摘要:
A miller assembly for creating a cavity in a bone. The cavity has a cross section which has a generally triangular profile having a first side generally parallel with an axis of the bone and a second side forming an acute angle with the first side, and is contiguous with a pre-existing conical cavity in the bone. The miller assembly includes a cutter and a frame for carrying the cutter. The frame includes a connection portion having a longitudinal axis and a cutter mount for mounting the cutter at a first angle approximating the acute angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the connection portion. The cutter mount extends at the first angle from the longitudinal axis of the connection portion and is configured to receive a portion of the cutter and maintain the received cutter oriented at the first angle during rotation. The frame further includes a handle configured to form a portion of a drive joint for coupling the frame to a drill, the handle having a longitudinal axis. The longitudinal axis of the handle is coincident with the longitudinal axis of the frame.
摘要:
A prosthetic trial for a joint prosthesis includes a stem having a proximal section and a distal section for implantation in a bone. A body includes a channel receiving at least the proximal section of the stem. A locking mechanism is at least partially disposed within the body. The locking mechanism is biased into a locking position in which the mechanism locks the stem within the first channel of the body. The locking mechanism is accessible outside said body to be pulled into a releasing position to unlock the stem from the body.

A modular prosthesis is disclosed that includes a neck member having a tapered neck body. The modular prosthesis further includes a sleeve component having a first elongated tapered bore. The tapered neck body is received within the first elongated tapered bore so as to taper lock the sleeve component to the neck member. The modular prosthesis also includes a stem member configured to be implanted into a medullary canal of a bone. One of the neck member and the stem member includes a second elongated tapered bore. The other of the neck member and the stem member includes a tapered post that is received within the second tapered bore so as to taper lock the neck member to the stem member.
摘要:
A medical instrument and procedure is adapted to mill bone along a curve and with respect to at least two angles of orientation with respect to an input source of rotary motion. Particularly, the medical instrument is a bone milling apparatus that is configured to mill bone along a predetermined curved path or curve. The bone milling apparatus includes a reamer that is rotatable about a curved shaft which is retained by a frame. The shaft has a predetermined curve that corresponds to a desired milling curve. The reamer is comprised of a plurality of interconnected segments, with each segment having cutting surfaces such that each segment is a cutter. The reamer is thus flexible with respect to the interconnection between the individual segments.

An orthopaedic hip implant includes an acetabular cup having a rounded outer surface configured to be implanted into a surgically-prepared surface of a patient's acetabulum. A porous metallic coating is disposed on the rounded outer surface of the acetabular cup, with a hydroxyapatite coating being disposed on the porous metallic coating in a pattern which defines a readable indicia.
