Abstract:
It is disclosed a device for determining an axis joining origins of at least two reference systems (Ref1, Ref2) of a rigid body (T). The device comprises at least a first and a second inertial sensor (1, 2), provided with a triaxial accelerometer and a triaxial gyroscope, predisposed to be constrained to the rigid body (T) and for respectively defining the first and the second reference system. The device further comprises a processing unit (3), connected to the inertial sensors (1, 2). The processing unit comprises an acquiring module (31) configured to acquire first data (d1) representing angular velocities and second data (d2) representing linear accelerations of the rigid body (T) detected by the first and second inertial sensor (1, 2) during a movement of the rigid body (T) itself, comprises a first calculating module (32) configured to calculate third data (d3) representing angular accelerations of the rigid body (T) as a function of the first data (d1) acquired, comprises a second calculating module (36) configured to calculate a relative orientation between the first and the second reference system (Ref1, Ref2) as a function of the first data (d1), comprises a third calculating module (33) configured to calculate a vector (V1) which joins origins (Ο 1 , O 2 ) of the first (Ref1) and of the second (Ref2) reference system as a function of the first, second and third data (d1, d2, d3) and as a function of the relative orientation calculated between the first and the second reference system (Ref1, Ref2), wherein the primary direction (DIR_1) of the primary vector (V1) is representative of the axis joining the origins of the two reference systems (Ref 1, Ref2).

Abstract:
A femoral trial component (16) for attachment to a prepared distal surface of a femur, the femoral trial component comprising a first fastening point (20) for coupling the femoral trial component to a tibial cutting jig. The femoral trial component may further comprise a second fastening point (21) for coupling the trial component to a tibial cutting jig (25), the first and second fastening points being at a predetermined angle (e.g. substantially 90 degrees) to one another. Advantageously the trial component may also have a cut-out region (17) for accommodating an anterior cruciate ligament.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for replacing a knee joint with an implant prosthesis are described. The method includes distracting the knee, locating the pre-diseased joint line of the knee and referencing cuts to the femur and tibia in the coronal plane relative to the joint line. The method further comprises determining the posterior slope of a cut to the tibia in the sagittal plane such that the gaps between the tibia and femur in extension and flexion are substantially equal. Apparatus for use in the method is described, including a distractor for distracting the joint, a joint level finder for finding the pre-diseased joint line and a flexion gap optimisation device.
Abstract:
A tibial component placement guide for use in a knee arthroplasty procedure involving a knee joint comprising a tibia, a patella, and a femur, the guide comprising an overlay configured to be overlaid a resected tibia, the overlay including at least one of an indicia and an opening indicative of at least one of an orientation and a position of at least one of a first axis of the femur, a second axis of the femur, and a first axis of the patella.
Abstract:
A method of preparing a tibia to receive a tibial implant component includes performing a first set of cuts to prepare a floor interface surface on the tibia, wherein the floor interface surface includes a portion on each side of a tibial eminence extending above the floor interface surface on the tibia. The method further includes performing a second set of cuts to prepare a tibial eminence wall interface surface, wherein the wall interface surface extends substantially perpendicular to the floor interface surface between the floor interface surface and a top surface of the tibial eminence. The method further includes performing a third set of cuts to prepare a radiused intersection between the floor interface surface and the wall interface surface. The sets of cuts are performed subject to a cutting restraint guide. At least one set of cuts may be performed using a rotary cutter.
