Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a femoral condyle prosthesis and a knee joint prosthesis. Background Art

[0002] With the aging of the population, the use of knee replacement surgery has increased significantly. Currently, knee prostheses used in knee replacement surgery can be divided into two types: cemented and uncemented. Cementless knee prostheses are spray-coated on the inner surface of the femur, creating a porous structure that tightly bonds to the bone, achieving long-term bone ingrowth and biological fixation. These prostheses are increasingly used in clinical practice.

[0003] In clinical practice, when doctors perform osteotomies on the human femur, osteotomy deviation is prone to occur, resulting in a gap between the femoral condyle prosthesis and the osteotomy surface of the distal femur. For bone cement-based femoral condyle prostheses, this gap can be filled by injecting bone cement. However, for non-bone cemented knee prostheses, since the non-bone cemented femoral condyle prosthesis needs to fit closely with the osteotomy surface of the distal femur during implantation, if there is a gap between the non-bone cemented femoral condyle prosthesis and the osteotomy surface of the distal femur, a press fit cannot be achieved, resulting in the inability to achieve initial stability and the inability to achieve long-term bone ingrowth and biological fixation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0042] Please refer to the following Figures 1 to 14 A femoral condyle prosthesis and a knee joint prosthesis according to embodiments of the present invention are described.

[0043] The femoral condyle prosthesis of the embodiment of the present invention includes a main body 1 and a posterior spacer 2. The main body 1 includes an anterior condyle 11, a distal portion 12, and a posterior condyle 13. The anterior condyle 11, the distal portion 12, and the posterior condyle 13 are sequentially connected. The posterior spacer 2 is disposed on the side of the posterior condyle 13 facing the human femur 7. The position of the posterior spacer 2 relative to the posterior condyle 13 along the thickness direction of the posterior condyle 13 is adjustable. It is understood that the position of the posterior spacer 2 is adjustable in a direction toward the osteotomy surface of the human femur 7 or away from the osteotomy surface of the human femur 7.

[0044] According to the femoral condyle prosthesis of an embodiment of the present invention, since the posterior pad 2 is arranged on the side of the posterior condyle 13 facing the human femur 7, and the position of the posterior pad 2 relative to the posterior condyle 13 along the thickness direction of the posterior condyle 13 is adjustable, when the position of the posterior pad 2 is adjusted in the direction away from the posterior condyle 13, the posterior pad 2 can drive the femoral condyle prosthesis to move toward the distal end of the human femur 7, so as to clamp the distal end of the human femur 7 through the posterior condyle 13 and the posterior pad 2, thereby achieving initial stability of the femoral condyle prosthesis. Therefore, when the femoral condyle prosthesis is implanted into the distal end of the human femur 7, the doctor can adaptively adjust the relative positions of the posterior pad 2 and the posterior condyle 13 according to the fit between the osteotomy surface of the distal end of the human femur 7 and the femoral condyle prosthesis, so that the posterior pad 2 is abutted and pressurized against the distal end of the human femur 7, thereby achieving the initial stability of the non-bone cement femoral condyle prosthesis, facilitating the later bone ingrowth, improving the long-term stability of the femoral condyle prosthesis after implantation, and causing fewer adverse reactions in patients.

[0045] In addition, since the inner surface of the cementless femoral condyle prosthesis is porous and does not require bone cement for filling and fixation, during surgery, the cementless femoral condyle prosthesis needs to be interference-fitted with the human femur 7 to achieve initial stability and later bone ingrowth. Therefore, when the doctor implants the cementless femoral condyle prosthesis that has an interference fit with the human femur 7, the rough porous surface on the inner side of the femoral condyle prosthesis will inevitably damage the human femur 7. However, when the femoral condyle prosthesis of the embodiment of the present invention is implanted, a certain gap is reserved between the anterior condyle 11 and the posterior condyle 13 of the femoral condyle prosthesis and the human femur 7. After implantation, the doctor can subsequently adjust the position of the posterior pad 2 to achieve an interference fit between the femoral condyle prosthesis and the human femur 7. Therefore, the femoral condyle prosthesis of the embodiment of the present invention can avoid damaging the human femur during implantation.

[0046] In addition, if the doctor needs to revise the femoral condyle prosthesis later, he can also adjust the posterior pad 2 to move the posterior pad 2 in a direction away from the distal end of the human femur 7, so that the posterior pad 2 is separated from the human femur 7 by a certain distance. This can facilitate the loosening of the femoral condyle prosthesis from the human femur 7, making it easier for the doctor to remove the femoral condyle prosthesis.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the posterior condyle portion 13 of the embodiment of the present invention includes a posterior condyle osteotomy surface 131 and a posterior chamfered osteotomy surface 132, the distal portion 12 has a distal osteotomy surface 121, the posterior condyle osteotomy surface 131, the posterior chamfered osteotomy surface 132 and the distal osteotomy surface 121 are connected in sequence, and the posterior pad 2 is provided on at least one of the posterior condyle osteotomy surface 131 and the posterior chamfered osteotomy surface 132.

[0048] Preferably, the doctor can choose to place one posterior pad 2 on the posterior condyle osteotomy surface 131 and the other posterior pad 2 on the posterior chamfered osteotomy surface 132 according to the osteotomy condition of the distal end of the human femur 7. In this way, the contact area between the posterior pad 2, the posterior condyle 13 and the human femur 7 can be increased, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the femoral condyle prosthesis position adjustment.

[0049] In other embodiments, the doctor may also choose to place only the posterior pad 2 on the posterior condyle osteotomy surface 131 according to the osteotomy condition of the distal end of the human femur 7. For another example, the posterior pad 2 is placed on the posterior chamfered osteotomy surface 132.

[0050] Exemplarily, the left and right widths of the rear pad 2 are between 15 mm and 30 mm, and the thickness of the rear pad 2 is between 3 mm and 7 mm.

[0051] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the posterior spacer 2 of the embodiment of the present invention includes a posterior condyle spacer 21 and a posterior chamfered spacer 22. The posterior condyle spacer 21 and the posterior chamfered spacer 22 are independent of each other. The posterior condyle spacer 21 is located on the posterior condyle osteotomy surface 131, and the posterior chamfered spacer 22 is located on the posterior chamfered osteotomy surface 132. It is understood that the relative positions of the posterior condyle spacer 21 and the posterior chamfered spacer 22 can be adjusted independently. Thus, the posterior condyle spacer 21 and the posterior chamfered spacer 22 located on the posterior condyle osteotomy surface 131 and the posterior chamfered osteotomy surface 132 can be adjusted individually, including adjusting the displacement of the posterior condyle spacer 21 and the posterior chamfered spacer 22 along the thickness direction of the posterior condyle 13 and the amount of pressure applied to the distal end of the human femur 7. This can accommodate different femoral osteotomy deviations in different situations, greatly improving the tolerance for femoral osteotomy.

[0052] Preferably, if Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the posterior condyle 13 includes a left posterior condyle 133 and a right posterior condyle 134, which are spaced apart along the left-right direction of the posterior condyle 13. There are two posterior condyle pads 21 and two posterior chamfered pads 22, one of which is provided on the left posterior condyle 133, and another of which is provided on the right posterior condyle 134. It will be understood that the left posterior condyle 133 corresponds to one set of posterior condyle pads 21 and posterior chamfered pads 22, while the right posterior condyle 134 corresponds to another set of posterior condyle pads 21 and posterior chamfered pads 22. Therefore, when adjusting the position of the femoral condyle prosthesis, the posterior pads 2 of the left posterior condyle 133 and the right posterior condyle 134 can be adjusted separately and specifically, so that the left posterior condyle 133 and the right posterior condyle 134 can independently move their positions and fit the human femur 7, thereby achieving the overall fit of the femoral condyle prosthesis with the human femur 7 and improving the stability of the femoral condyle prosthesis after implantation.

[0053] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the posterior condyle portion 13 of the embodiment of the present invention has a mounting groove 135 on the side facing the human femur 7, and part of the posterior pad 2 is disposed in the mounting groove 135, while the other part of the posterior pad 2 is located outside the mounting groove 135. It is understandable that at least a portion of the posterior condyle pad 21 is embedded in the mounting groove 135 at the posterior condyle osteotomy surface 131, and at least a portion of the posterior chamfered pad 22 is embedded in the mounting groove 135 at the posterior chamfered osteotomy surface 132. As a result, the posterior condyle pad 21 and the posterior chamfered pad 22 are prevented from moving along the thickness direction orthogonal to the posterior condyle portion 13, which is beneficial to improving the positioning accuracy of the posterior pad 2 and making the posterior pad 2 more stable after implantation.

[0054] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the femoral condyle prosthesis of this embodiment of the present invention includes an adjustment member 3, which is disposed on the posterior condyle 13, with at least a portion of the adjustment member 3 disposed between the posterior pad 2 and the bottom of the mounting slot 135. The adjustment member 3 is used to adjust the position of the posterior pad 2 along the thickness direction of the posterior condyle 13. It will be appreciated that the adjustment member 3 disposed on the posterior condyle 13 can expand the gap between the posterior pad 2 and the bottom of the mounting slot 135, allowing the posterior condyle pad 21 and the posterior chamfered pad 22 to independently move along the thickness direction of the posterior condyle 13. Thus, the surgeon can adjust the relative position of the posterior pad 2 along the thickness direction of the posterior condyle 13 to ensure that the femoral condyle prosthesis fits the human femur 7.

[0055] Specifically, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the adjusting member 3 includes a conical section 31 and a threaded section 32. In the direction from the threaded section 32 to the conical section 31, the cross-sectional profile of the conical section 31 gradually decreases. The threaded section 32 is threadedly fitted in the outer edge of the mounting groove 135. The conical section 31 is located between the posterior pad 2 and the bottom of the mounting groove 135. Rotating the adjusting member 3 can move the posterior pad 2 along the thickness direction of the posterior condyle 13.

[0056] For example, Figure 13 As shown, the cone angle α of the cone section 31 is between 3° and 15°. For example, the cone angle α of the cone section 31 can be 3°, 5°, 7°, 9°, 11°, 13°, or 15°. This can improve the stability of the cone section 31 in supporting the rear pad 2 and increase the adjustment efficiency.

[0057] Preferably, the adjusting member 3 is disposed in the posterior condyle 13 along the left-right direction of the posterior condyle 13 .

[0058] It is understood that the threaded section 32 of the adjusting member 3 is threadedly connected to the posterior condyle 13 of the femoral condyle prosthesis. Since the conical section 31 is located between the posterior spacer 2 and the bottom of the mounting groove 135, and the cross-sectional profile of the conical section 31 gradually decreases in the direction from the threaded section 32 to the conical section 31, when the adjusting member 3 is screwed into the posterior condyle 13, the conical section 31 moves accordingly, gradually screwing into the space between the posterior spacer 2 and the bottom of the mounting groove 135, gradually expanding the posterior spacer 2 and moving it toward the human femur 7 to press against the human femur 7. Conversely, when the adjusting member 3 is screwed out of the posterior condyle 13, the conical section 31 moves accordingly, driving the posterior spacer 2 to move away from the human femur 7.

[0059] It can be understood that, during the process of screwing the adjusting member 3 into or out of the posterior condyle 13 , the adjusting member 3 is always located in the posterior condyle 13 and does not protrude from the posterior condyle 13 .

[0060] Furthermore, the threaded section 32 has a first end 321 and a second end 322 opposite to each other along its axial direction, the conical section 31 is connected to the first end 321, and the second end 322 has a tool hole 3221, which is used to cooperate with an instrument, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 The femoral condyle prosthesis of the embodiment of the present invention can make the adjustment of the posterior pad 2 simple by setting the adjustment member 3 as the above structure, and has a stable structure, is not easy to loosen, and has a good implantation effect.

[0061] Exemplarily, the tool hole 3221 may be a hexagonal hole or a plum blossom hole, so that the doctor can screw the adjusting member 3 with a wrench.

[0062] Specifically, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a threaded hole 137 is provided in the posterior condyle 13, and the threaded hole 137 is located at the outer edge of the mounting groove 135. The threaded section 32 of the adjusting member 3 is threadedly engaged with the threaded hole 137. Thus, the threaded engagement between the threaded section 32 and the threaded hole 137 prevents the adjusting member 3 from becoming loose from the posterior condyle 13 along its axial direction. On the other hand, the insertion depth of the adjusting member 3 can be adjusted by rotating it, thereby adjusting the displacement of the posterior pad 2.

[0063] Furthermore, if Figure 6 As shown, a clearance hole 138 is provided on one end of the posterior spacer 2 near the threaded hole 137. The clearance hole 138 is used to clear the external threads of the threaded section 32. After the posterior condyle 13 is provided with the mounting groove 135, the outer edge thickness of the mounting groove 135 is limited. The provision of the clearance hole 138 ensures that the adjusting member 3 can be screwed into the posterior spacer 2 to a certain depth, ensuring that the posterior spacer 2 has sufficient travel.

[0064] like Figures 10 to 12As shown, at least one of the rear pad 2 and the bottom of the mounting groove 135 is provided with an arcuate groove 24, the wall of which mates with the conical section 31 of the adjusting member 3. For example, the arcuate groove 24 is provided on both the rear pad 2 and the bottom of the mounting groove 135. This increases the contact area between the adjusting member 3, the rear pad 2, and the bottom of the mounting groove 135, improving the stability of the adjusting member 3 after it is extended.

[0065] When the adjusting member 3 is screwed in until the size of the posterior condyle 13 increases, the gap between the posterior pad 2 and the bottom of the mounting groove 135 can be increased, thereby increasing the thickness of the posterior condyle 13. When the adjusting member 3 is screwed in until the size of the posterior condyle 13 decreases, the gap between the posterior pad 2 and the bottom of the mounting groove 135 can be decreased, thereby decreasing the thickness of the posterior condyle 13.

[0066] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the femoral condyle prosthesis of the embodiment of the present invention includes a positioning member 4, which is disposed within the posterior condyle 13, and at least a portion of the positioning member 4 cooperates with the posterior pad 2 to prevent the posterior pad 2 from disengaging from the mounting groove 135. It will be understood that because the positioning member 4 is disposed within the posterior condyle 13 and cooperates with the posterior pad 2, the posterior pad 2 is prevented from disengaging from the mounting groove 135 during movement along the thickness direction of the posterior condyle 13, thereby serving as a positioning guide.

[0067] Specifically, if Figure 5 As shown, the positioning member 4 is fixedly connected to the outer edge of the mounting groove 135. The positioning member 4 is a cylinder. The posterior pad 2 is provided with a mating hole 23 that cooperates with the positioning member 4. The cross-sectional profile of the mating hole 23 is a strip, and the long side of the strip-shaped mating hole 23 extends along the thickness direction of the posterior pad 2, so that the posterior pad 2 can move relative to the positioning member 4 along the thickness direction of the posterior condyle 13. It can be understood that under the position constraints of the mating hole 23 and the positioning member 4, the posterior pad 2 can move along the thickness direction of the posterior condyle 13, and the posterior pad 2 will not fall out of the mounting groove 135 along the thickness direction of the posterior condyle 13. Therefore, the adjustment method of the posterior pad 2 can be simplified and the processing and manufacturing are convenient.

[0068] Specifically, see Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 11 The long side of the strip-shaped mating hole 23 that engages with the positioning member 4 extends along the thickness direction of the posterior pad 2, allowing the posterior pad 2 to move relative to the positioning member 4 along the thickness direction of the posterior condyle 13, thereby guiding the movement of the posterior pad 2. The short side of the strip-shaped mating hole 23 is consistent with the diameter of the positioning member 4, limiting the movement of the posterior pad 2 in a direction perpendicular to the thickness of the posterior condyle 13, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the adjustment of the posterior pad 2.

[0069] Illustratively, the positioning member 4 is a pin structure, and a positioning hole 136 is provided in the posterior condyle 13, extending in the left-right direction. The positioning holes 136 are located on the left and right outer edges of the mounting slot 135, and the positioning holes 136 are in communication with the mounting slot 135. The positioning member 4 is fixedly connected to the outer edge of the mounting slot 135 (i.e., the posterior condyle 13) through an interference fit with the positioning holes 136. Thus, the positioning holes 136 can limit the radial movement of the positioning member 4 along the positioning hole 136, thereby ensuring the positioning accuracy of the positioning member 4 and the stability of the posterior pad 2 during adjustment.

[0070] Optionally, the outer diameter of the positioning member 4 is between 1 mm and 4 mm.

[0071] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, there are at least two positioning members 4, and the two positioning members 4 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the adjusting member 3, thereby improving the positioning effect of the positioning members 4 on the rear pad 2 and improving the stability of the adjusting member 3 in adjusting the rear pad 2.

[0072] Taking the posterior condylar spacer 21 as an example, at least a portion of the adjusting member 3 is positioned between the posterior condylar spacer 21 and the bottom of the mounting slot 135. Two positioning members 4 are arranged vertically between the adjusting member 3 and the posterior condylar spacer 21. Thus, when the adjusting member 3 extends the posterior condylar spacer 21, the vertical position of the posterior condylar spacer 21 can be moved synchronously, thereby improving the accuracy of the vertical position adjustment of the posterior condylar spacer 21. Similarly, the posterior chamfered spacer 22 is also provided with two positioning members 4 and an adjusting member 3 positioned between the two positioning members 4 for use in conjunction therewith, which will not be further described here.

[0073] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the posterior condyle pad 21 and the posterior chamfer pad 22 of the embodiment of the present invention are both adjusted and positioned using the above-mentioned “adjusting member 3 and positioning member 4”.

[0074] Taking the posterior condyle pad 21 as an example, the positioning member 4 is arranged in the mounting groove 135 along the left and right directions of the femoral condyle prosthesis, and cooperates with the posterior condyle pad 21 to limit the posterior condyle pad 21 from falling out of the mounting groove 135. At least part of the adjusting member 3 is arranged between the posterior condyle pad 21 and the bottom of the mounting groove 135. The adjusting member 3 can adjust the gap between the posterior condyle pad 21 and the bottom of the groove, which will not be repeated.

[0075] Taking the posterior chamfered pad 22 as an example, the positioning member 4 is arranged in the mounting groove 135 along the left and right directions of the femoral condyle prosthesis, and cooperates with the posterior chamfered pad 22 to limit the posterior chamfered pad 22 from escaping from the mounting groove 135. At least part of the adjusting member 3 is arranged between the posterior chamfered pad 22 and the bottom of the mounting groove 135. The adjusting member 3 can adjust the gap between the posterior chamfered pad 22 and the bottom of the groove, which will not be repeated.

[0076] Alternatively, as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the distal portion 12 of the embodiment of the present invention has a distal osteotomy surface 121, and a support portion 5 is provided on the distal osteotomy surface 121. The support portion 5 is plate-shaped, and the long side of the plate-shaped support portion 5 extends along the anterior-posterior direction of the femoral condyle prosthesis, thereby helping to improve the stability of the femoral condyle prosthesis after implantation. Moreover, the long side of the plate-shaped support portion 5 extends along the anterior-posterior direction of the femoral condyle prosthesis, which can meet the slight anterior-posterior movement of the non-bone cement femoral condyle prosthesis brought about by adjusting the rear pad 2, so that the femoral condyle prosthesis can be slightly adjusted anterior and posteriorly.

[0077] When using the femoral condyle prosthesis according to an embodiment of the present invention, if the posterior condyle of the femur 7 has been excessively resected, a gap may form between the posterior condyle resection surface 131 of the femoral condyle prosthesis and the femur 7. The surgeon can adjust the posterior spacer 2 toward the femur 7 to fill the gap. If the anterior condyle of the femur 7 has been excessively resected, a gap may form between the anterior condyle resection surface 111 of the femoral condyle prosthesis and the femur 7. The surgeon can also adjust the posterior spacer 2 toward the femur 7, causing the entire femoral condyle prosthesis to slightly move toward the posterior condyle 13, thereby eliminating the gap between the anterior condyle resection surface 111 and the femur 7. During this process, the plate-shaped support portion 5 allows for micro-movement of the femoral condyle prosthesis, compared to conventional cylindrical columns.

[0078] Optionally, the dimension of the support portion 5 along the anterior-posterior direction of the femoral condyle prosthesis gradually decreases in the direction away from the distal osteotomy surface 121, thereby facilitating the insertion of the support portion 5 into the human femur 7. Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the support portion 5 is generally in the shape of a triangular plate, with a structure that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom.

[0079] like Figure 3 As shown, the support portion 5 has a first side 51 close to the distal osteotomy surface 121 and a second side 52 away from the distal osteotomy surface 121, the dimension of the first side 51 along the anterior-posterior direction of the femoral condyle prosthesis is L3, and the dimension of the second side 52 along the anterior-posterior direction of the femoral condyle prosthesis is L4, wherein 10mm≤L3≤40mm, 0mm≤L4≤20mm.

[0080] For example, L3 may be 10 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm, 35 mm, or 40 mm, and L4 may be 0 mm, 5 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm, or 20 mm.

[0081] Optionally, the contour line of the support portion 5 extending from the first side 51 to the second side 52 away from the distal osteotomy surface 121 can be a curve, thereby facilitating the insertion of the support portion 5 into the human femur 7 during implantation.

[0082] Alternatively, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, there are two support parts 5, and the two support parts 5 are arranged at intervals along the left and right directions of the distal end part 12, and the two support parts 5 are parallel to each other. Therefore, the structural stability of the support part 5 itself can be guaranteed, and the fusion effect of the support part 5 and the human femur 7 can be improved, thereby reducing the probability of loosening of the femoral condyle prosthesis.

[0083] Optionally, the support portion 5 has a dimension L1 (not shown) in the left-right direction of the femoral condyle prosthesis, wherein 1.5 mm ≤ L1 ≤ 6 mm. For example, L1 may be 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, or 6 mm.

[0084] like Figure 3 As shown, the dimension of the support portion 5 along the thickness direction of the distal end portion 12 (i.e., the height of the support portion 5) is L2, wherein 6mm≤L2≤30mm. For example, L2 can be 6mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, or 30mm.

[0085] A dimension of the second side 52 along the anterior-posterior direction of the femoral condyle prosthesis is L4, wherein 10 mm≤L3≤40 mm, and 0 mm≤L4≤20 mm.

[0086] Alternatively, as Figure 7 As shown, a porous structure 6 is provided on the inner wall of at least one of the anterior condyle 11, distal portion 12, posterior condyle 13, and posterior pad 2, as well as the outer wall of the support portion 5. This improves the fusion of the femoral condyle prosthesis with the human femur 7 and reduces the likelihood of loosening of the femoral condyle prosthesis. Exemplarily, the porous structure 6 includes structures such as plasma coating, sintering, and 3D printing.

[0087] In other examples, the outer wall surface of the support portion 5 may also be sandblasted to improve the stability of the support portion 5 after being inserted into the femur 7 of the human body.

[0088] Optionally, the femoral condyle prosthesis further includes an anterior pad (not shown), which is disposed on the side of the anterior condyle 11 facing the human femur 7, and is positionally adjustable relative to the anterior condyle 11 along the thickness direction of the anterior condyle 11. Because the anterior pad is disposed on the side of the anterior condyle 11 facing the human femur 7 and is positionally adjustable relative to the anterior condyle 11 along the thickness direction of the anterior condyle 11, when the anterior pad is adjusted away from the anterior condyle 11, the anterior pad can drive the femoral condyle prosthesis forward, thereby clamping the distal end of the human femur 7 via the anterior condyle 11 and the anterior pad, thereby achieving initial stabilization of the femoral condyle prosthesis.

[0089] Alternatively, as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the anterior condyle portion 11 includes an anterior condyle osteotomy surface 111 and an anterior chamfered osteotomy surface 112, and the distal portion 12 has a distal osteotomy surface 121. The anterior condyle osteotomy surface 111, the anterior chamfered osteotomy surface 112 and the distal osteotomy surface 121 are connected in sequence, and the anterior side pad includes an anterior condyle pad and an anterior chamfered pad. The anterior condyle pad and the anterior chamfered pad are independent of each other. The anterior condyle pad is arranged on the anterior condyle osteotomy surface 111, and the anterior chamfered pad is arranged on the anterior chamfered osteotomy surface 112.

[0090] It can be understood that the relative positions of the anterior condyle pad and the anterior chamfer pad can be adjusted independently, thereby allowing the amount of pressure applied to the positions of the anterior condyle osteotomy surface 111 and the anterior chamfer osteotomy surface 112 to be adjusted in a targeted manner to meet the osteotomy deviation of the femur 7 in different situations, thereby greatly improving the tolerance for osteotomy of the femur 7.

[0091] A knee joint prosthesis according to another embodiment of the present invention comprises a femoral condyle prosthesis, a tibial liner and a tibial tray. The femoral condyle prosthesis is the femoral condyle prosthesis of the present invention, and the tibial liner is arranged between the tibial tray and the femoral condyle prosthesis.

[0092] According to the knee joint prosthesis of an embodiment of the present invention, since the posterior pad 2 is arranged on the side of the posterior condyle 13 facing the human femur, the position of the posterior pad 2 relative to the posterior condyle 13 along the thickness direction of the posterior condyle 13 is adjustable. When the femoral condyle prosthesis is implanted into the distal end of the human femur 7, the doctor can adaptively adjust the relative position of the posterior pad 2 and the posterior condyle 13 according to the fit between the osteotomy surface of the distal end of the human femur 7 and the femoral condyle prosthesis, so that the posterior pad 2 and the distal end of the human femur 7 are abutted and pressurized and fixed, thereby achieving the initial stability of the non-bone cement femoral condyle prosthesis, facilitating the later bone ingrowth, improving the long-term stability of the femoral condyle prosthesis after implantation, and fewer adverse reactions in patients.
