Problems solved by technology

However, revision knee surgery is rarely bilateral
Thus half of the trial (i.e., parts specific to the non-operated side of the limb) is unused, and thus resources such as bench space, cleaning and subsequent disinfection are unnecessarily consumed

Abstract

The invention provides a side-specific orthopaedic surgical instrument systems and associated methods of use. The surgical instrument system includes a pair of side-specific orthopaedic surgical instrument assemblies. The right-limb side-specific instrument assembly is kitted so as to be devoid of left-limb side-specific instruments and vice versa.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to orthopaedic instruments for performing orthopaedic joint replacement procedures, and more particularly to orthopaedic instruments for performing revision knee replacement procedures. Background technique [0002] Arthroplasty is a well-known surgical procedure by which a diseased and / or damaged natural joint is replaced with a prosthetic joint. For example, in total knee arthroplasty, the patient's natural knee is partially or completely replaced with a prosthetic knee or knee prosthesis. A typical prosthetic knee joint includes a tibial tray, a femoral component, and a polymeric insert or bearing disposed between the tibial tray and the femoral component. The tibial tray typically includes a plate with a stem extending distally therefrom, and the femoral component typically includes a pair of spaced apart condylar elements that include surfaces that articulate with corresponding surfaces of the polymeric be...
