    摘要: The instrumentation set of this invention assists the surgeon in selecting the proper implant components, in determining the amount of distal bone to resect, and in aligning instrumentation designed to resect the bone. The instrumentation set provides numerous systems for verifying to the surgeon that he has correctly aligned the instruments prior to removing any bone. The set includes a rotational alignment guide, which aids the surgeon in establishing the appropriate rotational alignment for the knee as determined by reference to standard femoral landmarks such as the posterior condyles and epicondyles. The rotational alignment guide includes a slot for guiding a saw blade for removal of the posterior condyles of the femur. The set further includes a tensor designed to tense the knee joint in flexion and extension. The tensor is activated by a torque wrench so that a measured mount of tension force can be applied to the joint. The tensor is configured to slidably carry a sizing rod which contacts the femur and includes a plurality of markings, which relate to the size of the femur as well as the spacing between the femur and tibia. This information is used by the surgeon to select the proper size of femoral and tibial articulate surface components. The sizing rod also indicates to the surgeon any variation required in the amount of bone to be resected.

    摘要: The invention is directed to an intramedullary guide rod assembly for use in orthopaedic surgery for aligning one or more milling or cutting guides. A guide member is pivotally connected to an intramedullary guide rod intermediate and proximal and distal ends thereof. An alignment mechanism selectively locks the guide member to the intramedullary guide rod between discrete predetermined positions relative the guide rod.

    摘要: A tibial milling guide which incorporates a combination of instruments for producing a planar surface on a portion of the tibia using a milling device. The system includes: an extramedullary alignment guide with a detachable reference guide, an adjustable milling base assembly, a detachable milling template, a sizing gauge, and a milling depth gauge. The reference guide is used to position the alignment guide to the tibia. The reference guide has a T-shaped member which provides a planar reference and a centering reference to the tibial head. The reference guide also allows the surgeon to set the rotational alignment before the alignment guide is secured in place. The adjustable milling base assembly is also detachably connected to the alignment guide. The milling base assembly includes a slide and a shiftable base that allows for lateral adjustments of the template with respect to the articular surface after the alignment guide has been properly secured to the tibia. The milling base is also extensibly connected to the alignment guide to allow the spacing between the articular surface and the template to be adjusted.

    摘要: The milling instrumentation of this invention provides a milling guide connected to the femur for accommodating a milling device. The milling instrumentation includes an alignment guide which is used by the surgeon to set a femoral bracket or base on the medial and lateral sides of the exposed femur adjacent its distal end. Once the brackets are set, the alignment guide is removed and a milling guide is connected to the bases. The milling guide establishes a series of reference planes each including a slot. A powered milling device having a burr connected thereto is guided by the slots along the reference planes to accurately mill away a portion of the bone. The milling device includes a bobbin-shaped tip which positively engages the slots to ensure that the milling device is held substantially perpendicular to the reference planes of the milling guide. If necessary, other instrumentation may be connected to the femoral bases which would form a common connection point for the additional instruments thereby ensuring alignment between the various instruments. Optionally, a one piece cutting guide may be connected to the bases to allow resection of the bone by a standard oscillating saw blade. The cutting guide includes a plurality of slots such that all the cuts required for the femur can be made with one cutting guide without reorienting the guide.

    摘要: A control lever assembly adapted for use with a powered surgical instrument which prevents the instrument from being inadvertently or accidentally activated. The assembly 10 includes a depressible control lever 20 for controlling the action of the instrument and a second safety lever or latch 30 which engages the trigger pin 6 of instrument only when selectively positioned with respect to control lever 20. Control lever 20 is secured to cutting device 2 by a mounting bracket 12. Safety latch 30 is pivotally carried by control lever 20 for shiftable movement between a safety position and an operational position. In the operational position, safety latch 30 engages trigger pin 6 when control lever 20 is depressed. Safety latch 30 cannot be switched from its safety position to its operational position when control lever 20 is depressed; therefore, the instrument is "locked-out" and cannot be inadvertently activated even when control lever 20 is depressed. Safety latch 30 can only be manually shifted from the safety position to the operational position when control lever 20 is released, which ensures safe handling of the instrument.
