摘要:
An artificial joint apparatus used as an artificial joint inserted into a bone is provided. The artificial joint apparatus includes: a body having a stem having a shape substantially corresponding to a space within the bone, into which the stem is inserted, and a head formed integrally with the stem; and a jacket made of a plastic material and surrounding an outer surface of the stem of the body. The jacket is constructed with an outer layer containing a bone-friendly material and an inner layer mainly made of a plastic material. Since the plastic jacket of an artificial joint apparatus has a bone-friendly material, it is possible to promote a growth of a bone contacted thereto. In addition, the bone is grown into a space where the bone-friendly material is dissolved, so that the jacket and the bone can be securely adhered. Since the bone-friendly material also exists in an inner portion of the jacket it is possible to continuously accelerate a bone in-growth.

An artificial joint is capable of harmoniously connecting the artificial joint, cement and a bone and facilitating effusion of the cement at the time of implantation, as well as diminishing the stress applied thereto. The artificial joint includes a head, a neck and a stem, the stem being coated in advance with cement so as to easily bond the cement to cement filled in a bone cavity of a human femur. An effusion path for effusing the cement filled in the bone cavity is formed in a longitudinal direction on a surface of the cement coated on the stem so that the cement filled in the bone cavity of the human femur can be easily effused upward through the effusion path when the stem is inserted.

A transmission device for application to a vehicle is disclosed. The transmission device includes a planetary gear including means for restricting degrees of freedom and a gearbox having two input axles. The root axle of the gearbox is functionally connected to the planetary shaft of carrier or to the planetary shaft of the ring gear. An end portion of the first axle of the gearbox is functionally connected to the root axle via a synchronizing device and the other end portion to the driving axle of the vehicle or to the internal combustion engine. An end portion of the second axle is a free end and the other end portion is connected to the root axle. The second axle has a direction of rotation opposite to that of the root axle and the third axle a direction of rotation opposite to that of the connected planetary shaft.

A navigation system for an acetabular cup, which guides an insertion orientation of the acetabular cup inserted into a pelvis during a total hip replacement surgery, includes: a pelvis position tracer which includes probes in contact with three particular points of the pelvis placed on an anterior pelvic plane and a first reference mechanism disposed to indicate a specific reference plane when the probes come in contact with the particular points; and a pelvis position indicator which is fixed to the pelvis, and includes a second reference mechanism that is adjustable to indicate a plane parallel to the specific reference plane indicated by the first reference mechanism, or to indicate a plane perpendicular thereto, or to indicate the both planes. Accordingly, an insertion orientation of an acetabular cup can be guided by using a reference mechanism having a simple structure, and the acetabular cup can be accurately guided regardless of changes in the patient's pelvic position during surgery, because a plane used in the insertion of the acetabular cup can be indicated continuously.

A goniometer for measuring artificial acetabular cup angles having the function of measuring an inclination angle and anteversion angle and a method for measuring the artificial acetabular cup angle using the same are disclosed. This goniometer measures the inclination angle or anteversion angle by using the first angle measuring unit, and then measures the inclination angle or anteversion angle by using the second angle measuring unit. Accordingly, it becomes possible to obtain precise operation angles of the acetabular cup easily and quickly, so it is possible to perform the artificial hip joint operation more precisely and quickly.

A robot mounting apparatus for a hip joint operation robot capable of firmly attaching a hip joint operation robot to a femur in order for operation robot to perform an accurate femoral canal cavity operation, and a hip joint operation robot system using the same. The robot mounting apparatus for a hip joint operation robot, comprising: a fixing means for fixing to a femur, including: a bar having a predetermined length and being arranged in perpendicular to a femur; and a seizing means having a predetermined shape for seizing the femur, the seizing means forms at an end of the bar; an installation unit having a predetermined shaped for installing the operation robot thereon, the installation unit is positioned near an end portion of the femur; and a link having a predetermined length for connecting the installation unit and the bar of the fixing means, the link is installed in parallel with respect to a longitudinal direction of the femur. The hip joint operation robot system employs the robot mounting apparatus and the robot firmly mounted on the robot mounting apparatus.

A tooth implant device comprises an abutment and a fixture. The abutment includes an upper portion to which a dental crown is attached and a lower portion whose cross-section decreases to a downward direction. The fixture includes an abutment inserting hole into which the abutment is inserted and is made of a bone-friendly metallic material. The fixture has an outer surface without threaded portions and has stiffness in a range of 5 percents to 40 percents compared to that of a solid form. When the abutment is inserted into the abutment inserting hole, the flexible fixture expands to apply a uniform stress to alveolar bone and be secured thereto in a taper-lock fashion.

A T-shaped gauge and acetabular cup navigation system and acetabular cup aligning method using the T-shaped gauge, which can measure anantomical landmarks of the pelvis at the same time, calculate an anterior pelvic plane from the measured value, calculate a transformed anterior pelvic plane by converting the anterior pelvic plane in comparison with a pelvic reference frame, and set a direction vector of an acetabular cup on the transformed anterior pelvic plane, thereby exactly inserting the acetabular cup into the acetabulum without regard to movement of the pelvis.
摘要:
A cement jacket for a cemented artificial joint stem, the cement jacket including a main body with a hollow interior and an open upper end for receiving and enclosing at least a part of a stem of an artificial joint, the cement jacket being shaped and adapted for longitudinal insertion in an opening formed in a bone canal of a human body, the cement jacket being made of cement and reinforced by imbedded wire or fiber and having an inner surface coated with a plastic film having a high resistance to abrasion, and the outer surface of the cement jacket is formed with discharging paths in the longitudinal direction so that excessive cement paste previously poured into the bone canal for the surgical purpose can be easily discharged upward at the time of inserting the jacket.
