| 20100063597 | COTYLE COMPRISING A STERILE INTERFACE - A cotyle including a metallic insertion acetabular shell having an outer, essentially hemispherical, convex anchoring face formed in such a way as to be anchored in a cotyloid cavity of the pelvis of a patient, and a concave receiving face. The cotyle also includes a fixed definitive articular ceramic insert having an outer face engaging in the concave receiving face of the metallic insertion acetabular shell, and an inner receiving face including a concave, essentially hemispherical, articular surface for allowing the engagement and pivoting of a femoral prosthesis head or a mobile articular insert. The cotyle is packed in its assembled sterile state, with the definitive fixed articular ceramic insert engaged in the metallic insertion acetabular shell having a peripheral receiving structure that can receive means for fixing an impacter for positioning a cotyle and is designed in such a way that the impacter can be fixed to the cotyle in the presence of the definitive fixed articular ceramic insert. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20100137997 | PROCESS FOR REALISING BIOLOGICALLY-COMPATIBLE THREE-DIMENSIONAL ELEMENTS - The process for realizing biologically-compatible three-dimensional elements comprises sintering in forming means ( | 06-03-2010 |
| 20110130845 | CUP COMPONENT OF AN ORTHOPAEDIC JOINT PROSTHESIS - A cup component of an orthopaedic joint prosthesis comprises a hollow shell wherein the head part of a mating component of the joint can be received. The shell has a flange at its open face extending around at least part of its periphery with at least two major threaded bores extending through the flange. The flange also provides at least one minor threaded bore, wherein the diameter of the minor bore is less than that of the major bores and the pitch of the thread in the minor bore is less than that of the thread in the major bores. The cup component includes at least two fixation screws whose shanks have approximately equal diameters, each of which is threaded on its external surface (i) to engage the thread a respective one of the bores in the shell flange, and (ii) to threadingly engage the bone, and a temporary screw having a self-drilling tip for forming a bore in a bone, and a diameter and a thread which are suitable for threadingly engaging the thread in the minor bore. | 06-02-2011 |
| 20120095569 | PROSTHETIC JOINT ASSEMBLY AND JOINT MEMBER THEREFOR - A prosthetic joint member includes: a generally concave cup with an outer surface that is bone-implantable, the cup including a first indexing feature; a concave insert disposed inside the cup, the insert comprising a rigid material and including a concave interior defining a nominal surface, the interior including a cantilevered flange defined by an undercut in the insert, the flange defining a wear-resistant first contact surface which protrudes inward relative to the nominal surface, the insert including a second indexing feature. The first and second indexing features engage each other so as to retain the insert in a fixed angular orientation relative to the cup. | 04-19-2012 |
| 20120296439 | Joint Resurfacing Prosthetic Implant System - A joint resurfacing prosthetic implant system is disclosed having an anatomically-shaped implant to replace a joint at a pedal digit or finger, including a head having an elliptical bearing surface disposed for engaging the end of an adjacent bone and a seating surface opposite the bearing surface, an elongated stem extending distally from the seating surface, and a flange on the circumference of the device and extending distally from the seating surface. The flange includes one or more portals and a removed section configured to avoid impinging upon a tendon during and after implantation of the prosthetic. A specialized tool is also provided to facilitate the resection of the bone for implantation. The specialized tool includes an elliptical template having a cutting edge and a center insert that is sized and configured to match a reamer used to bore into the bone for insertion of the implant. | 11-22-2012 |
| 20130046390 | Photodynamic Articular Joint Implants and Methods of Use - Photodynamic devices for replacement of an articular head of a bone are provided. In an embodiment, a photodynamic device includes a photodynamic support member and an articular member attachable, either fixedly or removably, to the photodynamic support member and having a bearing surface. In an embodiment, the articular member includes a recess designed to receive the photodynamic support member. In an embodiment, the photodynamic support member includes an opening into which a shaft of the articular member can be inserted to attach the articular member to the photodynamic support member. | 02-21-2013 |
| 20130073053 | PROSTHETIC JOINT ASSEMBLY AND PROSTHETIC JOINT MEMBER - A prosthetic joint member includes: a generally concave cup with an outer surface that is bone-implantable, the cup including a first indexing feature; a concave insert disposed inside the cup, the insert comprising a rigid material and including a concave interior defining a nominal surface, the interior including a cantilevered flange defined by an undercut in the insert, the flange defining a wear-resistant first contact surface which protrudes inward relative to the nominal surface, the insert including a second indexing feature. The first and second indexing features engage each other so as to retain the insert in a fixed angular orientation relative to the cup. | 03-21-2013 |
| 20140277567 | VOID FILLING JOINT PROSTHESIS AND ASSOCIATED INSTRUMENTS - A bone void filling prosthesis including a body and at least one leg. The body has a frustoconical profile, a length defined between a first end and a second end, and an aperture extending through the entirety of the length. The aperture defines a sidewall having a thickness spanning between an outer surface and an inner surface of the body. The at least one leg has a frustoconical profile, and a first and second end. The at least one leg is coupled to and extends away from the body such that the first end of the at least one leg is disposed between the first and second ends of the body. | 09-18-2014 |
| 20140343686 | ORTHOPEDIC AUGMENTS HAVING RECESSED POCKETS - Systems, devices, and methods are described for providing orthopedic augments having recessed pockets that receive a fixation material. The orthopedic augments include an outer surface that interfaces with a patient's tissue or bone, and an inner surface that interfaces with an implant, the inner surface comprising a recessed pocket configured to receive a fixation material, a rim around at least a portion of the recessed pocket, and a port in the rim, wherein the recessed pocket extends along the inner surface in at least a direction laterally from the port. | 11-20-2014 |
