30 results about "Hip resurfacing" patented technology

Hip resurfacing has been developed as a surgical alternative to total hip replacement (THR). The procedure consists of placing a cap (usually made of cobalt-chrome metal), which is hollow and shaped like a mushroom, over the head of the femur while a matching metal cup (similar to what is used with a THR) is placed in the acetabulum (pelvis socket), replacing the articulating surfaces of the patient's hip joint and removing very little bone compared to a THR. When the patient moves the hip, the movement of the joint induces synovial fluid to flow between the hard metal bearing surfaces lubricating them when the components are placed in the correct position. The surgeon's level of experience with hip resurfacing is most important; therefore, the selection of the right surgeon is crucial for a successful outcome. Health-related quality of life measures are markedly improved and patient satisfaction is favorable after hip resurfacing arthroplasty.

Hip resurfacing surgical guide tool

Disclosed herein is a tool for guiding a drill hole along a central axis of a femur head and neck for preparation of a femur head that is the subject of a hip resurfacing surgery. In one embodiment, the tool includes a mating region and a guide hole. The mating region is configured to matingly receive a predetermined surface of the femur. The mating region and guide hole are positionally correlated or referenced with each other such that when the mating region matingly receives the predetermined surface of the femur, the guide hole will be generally coaxial with a central axis extending through the femur head and the femur neck.

Femoral head resurfacing implant with internal plate fixation and instrumentation

The instantly disclosed implant is designed to resurface or partially replace (two versions) the arthritic or osteonecrotic femoral head in an anatomic fashion with maximum fixation, durability and stability. It will serve a wide range of patient ages, arthritic / traumatic deformity, and bone pathologies while providing for high performance activity. The implant has absolute fixation utilizing existing, contoured femoral head bone with or without bone cement / porous texturing, an internal plate with modular head attachment, and advantageously benefit from the concurrent use of precision guided instrumentation. This implant optimizes maximal femoral head contact with or without porous contact surfaces but does not rely purely on the head for long term stability. This new concept prevents the common failure mechanisms of femoral neck fracture, loosening and malpositioning as well as makes patient bone quality less important for this high performance hip resurfacing implant.

Surgical instrument tray, hip resurfacing kit, and method of resurfacing a femoral head to preserve femoral head vascularity

A method of resurfacing a femoral head involves using a chamfered reamer to ream only a top portion of the femoral head above an anterior lateral portion of the femoral head where the retinacular vessels supply blood to the femoral head. As no cylindrical reaming is performed on the lateral portions of the femoral head, damage to the retinacular vessels is avoided. The method thereby preserves femoral head vascularity. A surgical instrument tray for enabling a surgeon to perform this method includes both a reamer and a spherometer for assessing the sphericity of the femoral head to determine whether osteophyte growth on the femoral head is likely to cause femoro acetabular impingement. The instrument tray can also include a tool, such as a bone chisel or burr, for removing the osteophytes to restore the sphericity of the femoral head, rather than removing the osteophytes using a cylindrical reamer.

Hip resurfacing drill guide device

A device for guiding a drilling of a femoral head of a femur in femoral head resurfacing comprises a body defining a guide channel adapted to receive and guide a drilling component therein. Arms are pivotally connected to the body and biased toward one another, the arms each having a contact end extending below the body, the contact ends adapted to contact a femoral neck when the body is in a hovering position relative to the femoral head. Sensors produce a signal indicative of an orientation angle of each of the arms relative to the body. A processor unit calculates the orientation angles of the arms from the signal, and evaluates from the orientation angles an alignment of the body relative to the femur. A visual output produces a visual signal representative of said alignment. A method for aligning a drill guide device on a femur for subsequent drilling a femoral head with a guide channel in the drill guide device is also provided.

Hip resurfacing implant

The present invention is an implant meant for hip resurfacing arthroplasty, a surgical reconstruction performed on patients with diseased hips, during which the surgeon replaces the surface of the femoral head with a polished metallic spherical shell. The presented implant consists of a metallic shell (1) with a polished hemispherical outer surface and an inner hemispherical concave surface, which possesses a trunnion (2) with a thread (4) and thin meridian fins (3) and is fully metal porous coated for osseointegration between implant and bone. The presented implant is fitted onto the appropriately contoured femoral head and is stabilized by means of a preload tension wire (5), which drills the femoral head and neck and exits the greater trochanter.; The wire attaches proximally to the thread (4) of the trunnion (2) of the shell and distally to a nut-washer combination (6), by the tightening of which establishment of preload is achieved.

Acetabular cup with supplemental screw fixation using conical interference fit between screw and cup

A fixation technique is provided whereby a solid metal acetabular cup, such as is used with hip resurfacing implants, or so called “metal on metal” bearings used with traditional total hip replacement, which do use supplemental screw fixation, can achieve immediate fixation to the acetabulum using a acetabular fixation screw, which couples to an acetabular metal cup by way of a precision taper coupling (tapered interference fit) between the fixation screw and the acetabular cup. Under normal loading, the cold weld achieved between the two surfaces is stable, and disassociation between the two metal surfaces can be achieved only with significant force.

Resurfacing cup for acetabulum hemiarthroplasty of the hip joint

The present invention disclosed resolves the main problems of bone-sparing hip resurfacing surgery by using only an acetabular component in which the femoral head articulates, being only shaved to a spherical shape and cleared of osteophytes that could impinge on the acetabulum and so restrict the range of motion. The inner surface of the resurfacing cup is aspherical in shape creating an annular contact with the femoral head. The inner, articulating surface of the cup (10) is ADLC or pyrolytic carbon coated to reduce friction and wear of the femoral head. The surgical approach is well developed with surgery time significantly reduced by avoiding the use of the femoral resurfacing component. The cup is preferably of the double¬shell type for cementless fixation, but it can also be made as a single shell for cementless or cemented fixation. Should a revision surgery due to wear of the femoral head become necessary, the cup can be retained and combined with a dual mobility femoral component.
