摘要:
An orthopaedic knee prosthesis includes a tibial bearing and a femoral component configured to articulate with the tibial bearing. The femoral component includes a posterior cam configured to contact a spine of the tibial bearing and a condyle surface curved in the sagittal plane. The radius of curvature of the condyle surface decreases gradually between early-flexion and mid-flexion. Additionally, in some embodiments, the posterior cam of the femoral component may include a concave cam surface and a convex cam surface.

A posterior stabilized knee orthopaedic prosthesis assembly includes a tibial bearing, a primary femoral component, and a revision femoral component. Each of the primary and revision femoral components is configured to separately articulate with the tibial bearing. However, each of the primary and revision femoral components has different geometry. The primary femoral component includes a posterior cam having a posterior cam surfacing including a concave cam surface and a convex cam surface. The revision femoral component includes a posterior cam having only a convex cam surface.

An orthopaedic knee prosthesis includes a tibial bearing and a femoral component configured to articulate with the tibial bearing.

The radius of curvature of the condyle surface decreases gradually between early-flexion and mid-flexion. Additionally, in some embodiments, the radius of curvature of the condyle surface may be increased during mid-flexion.
摘要:
An implantable orthopaedic knee prosthesis includes a femoral component including an articular surface configured to engage a tibial bearing and a laterally-angled trochlear groove defined in the articular surface. The trochlear groove of the femoral component is configured to receive a patella component in a first location at a first degree of flexion and a second location at a second degree of flexion. The second degree of flexion is greater than the first degree of flexion. An arced imaginary line defines a central section of the trochlear groove. When the femoral component is viewed in a first coronal plane extending through the first location, the arced imaginary line has a first radius of curvature. When the femoral component is viewed in a second coronal plane extending through the second location, the arced imaginary line has a second radius of curvature that is less than the first radius of curvature.

A modular knee prosthesis system includes a femoral component having a stem and a plurality of different sizes of sleeves mountable on the stem. The system is modular, and provides the surgeon with the option of distally offsetting the joint line by selecting the size of sleeve that will provide the desired joint line. The different sizes of sleeves have different axial lengths but share a common geometry along a substantial part of their lengths so that the same bone cavity will accept multiple sizes of sleeves.

摘要:
A fixed-bearing prosthesis includes a femoral component having a medial condyle surface and a lateral condyle surface. The knee prosthesis also includes a bearing having a medial bearing surface configured to articulate with the medial condyle surface of the femoral component, and a lateral bearing surface configured to articulate with the lateral condyle surface of the femoral component. A tibial tray is secured to the bearing. The tibial tray has a platform with an elongated stem extending downwardly from a lower surface thereof. A posterior buttress extends along a posterior section of the perimeter of the tray's platform, and an anterior buttress extends along an anterior section of the perimeter of the tray's platform. Differently-sized tibial trays are interchangeable with differently-sized bearings.

摘要:
A surgical instrument support system has a support frame supported by three arms. Each arm has a plurality of ball and socket members strung in series along a cable. The arms are also connected to bases mountable to the patient's limb on the proximal and distal sides of the joint. Actuators are provided for each arm to change the tension in the cables to change the stiffness of each arm. The support system can be part of a surgical instrument system that includes a plurality of resection guides mountable to the support frame.
