Leaflike shaft of a hip-joint prosthesis for anchoring in the femur

InactiveUS7494510B2Advantageous for revascularizationFacilitate revascularizationSurgeryJoint implantsRaspFemoral shaft
The present invention relates in certain embodiments to components of a hip-joint prosthesis. More particularly, embodiments of the invention relate to a leaf-like femoral shaft for use as part of a hip-joint prosthesis, and instruments (e.g., a rasp) and methods for implanting the shaft. The shaft includes an anchoring section extending between a proximal region and a distal end of the shaft. The shaft has a cross-sectional contour that defines a lateral side, a medial side, an anterior side and a posterior side. A corresponding rasp is preferably provided for each femoral shaft. The rasp is inserted into the femur to form a cavity having generally the same configuration as the rasp. The shaft is configured to be over-dimensioned in at least one of the anterior-posterior direction and medial-lateral direction relative to the rasped femur cavity. In one embodiment, the distance between diagonally opposite corner junctions of the shaft is substantially equal to the distance between corresponding diagonally opposite corner junctions of the femur cavity, so as to inhibit excess stress on the corticalis.

Surgical tool holder for facilitated sterilization

A surgical tool holder aids a surgeon in controlling the use of a tool during, for example, preparation of a femoral cavity for reception of hip joint prosthesis. The holder has a housing that encloses a mechanism having, at a far end, a tool-engaging interface, and at the opposite end, a handle which facilitates manipulation of the tool during use in preparing a bone site by the surgeon. The holder enables easy orientation of the tool attached to its end, which is important because control of the tool is critical in order to accurately prepare a recess for reception and installation of a prosthesis.

Femur fixture and set of femur fixtures

A femur fixture for a hip-joint prosthesis comprising an intraosseous anchoring structure of a generally circular cross-section for screwing laterally into a complementary bore drilled laterally into the neck of a femur after resection of the femur head to an anchored position. The intraosseous anchoring structure has a proximal end, a distal end, a relatively short frusto-conical proximal section at the proximal end, and a proximal cylindrical section having a screw thread profile thereon.

Bimetal acetabular component construct for hip joint prosthesis

InactiveUS20050102034A1Superior bone-engaging faceSuperior polyethylene-engaging faceJoint implantsTissue regenerationAcetabular componentMaterials science
This invention provides a prosthetic acetabular component that comprises two constructs, one being a metal base construct that engages the bone and the other being a polyethylene bearing construct that attaches to the metal base construct and articulates with a femoral stem prosthetic component. The metal base construct is composed of two different metals, one of which engages the bone surface and the other of which engages the polyethylene bearing construct. Each of these metals is selected so that its characteristics are well suited to its particular function. The first metal is selected so as to provide a superior bone-engaging face, while the second metal is selected so as to provide a superior polyethylene-engaging face. By combining the different material characteristics of two different metals in the metal bone construct, it is possible to simultaneously form a superior bone-engaging face and a superior polyethylene-engaging face.

Hip joint prosthesis

A hip joint prosthesis has a socket part and a head rotatably arranged within the socket part. The socket part has an outer side facing away from the head and the outer side has a gliding surface configured to rotatably support the socket part in a natural hip socket. The socket part is polished on the outer side for forming the gliding surface. A stop is provided on the head or on the hipbone for limiting rotation of the socket part. The socket part has an angled edge portion that is arranged in an edge depression of the hip socket and strikes on the hipbone. The rotation of the socket part is limited in this way.

A profiled shaft for anchoring a hip-joint prosthesis in the femur is disclosed, with a shaft section and a fixation section that is formed at the end of the shaft section and that serves for the fixation of a spherical joint head, wherein the shaft section on the lateral surface in the proximal region merges with a trochanter wing at the edges of which beveled surfaces are formed. The essential point of the invention is that the angle formed between the plane of a beveled surface the plane of the adjacent surface is smaller than 135° and larger than 90°. In a construction of this kind the advantage of an improved filling of the empty space in the trochanter-wing region is achieved.

Temporary, modular, hip joint with neck-length modification mechanism

A temporary neck for a hip joint prosthesis comprising a mechanism that will allow the length of the temporary neck to be varied while in place, during implant surgery and after the stem and base of a permanent prosthesis have been positioned. In one best mode the variation in length is driven by rotating a pinion gear that engages a rack gear connected to the interior of the side walls of a moveable unit, and the ball is connected by a stud to the front wall of the moveable unit; thus the ball moves the same distance as the moveable unit, and that distance is a direct function of gear tooth spacing and number of rotations of the gear. In an alternative mechanism, a threaded drive axle (worm gear) moves in response rotation an adjustment base (wheel gear) in which the base comprises a drive disk with a female, threaded bore. The axle is secured to the pressure disk at one end and free at the other. The position of the drive disk (hence bore) is static; thus as the drive disk rotates and the threads are engaged, the pressure disk moves and the ball moves with it. Both devices include visual references to determine precisely the distance that has been traveled (generally in mm).

Hip stem

A stem (100) for use in a joint prosthesis, such as a femoral stem for a hip joint prosthesis, the stem comprising: a solid central core (102); a proximal outer layer (127) disposed over a proximal portion (101a) of the central core, wherein the proximal outer layer comprises a set of longitudinal ribs (120), defining slots (130) there between; and a distal outer layer made of a deformable porous material disposed over a distal portion (101b) of the central core. The arrangement is such that the stem (100) can be made with a relatively large diameter yet without being excessively stiff, for cementless fixation in osteoporotic patients. The deformability of the distal outer layer also mitigates against the risk of intraoperative bone fractures.
