20130325016 | FEMORAL ORTHOPAEDIC SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS AND METHOD OF USE OF SAME - An orthopaedic surgical instrument assembly includes a base block, an intramedullary orthopaedic surgical instrument configured to be inserted into a medullary canal of a patient's femur, an adaptor, and a modular cutting block. The base cutting block includes a slot, and the adaptor is positioned in the slot. The adaptor includes a mounting bracket engaged with the base plate, and a fastener coupled to the intramedullary orthopaedic surgical instrument. The modular cutting block is configured to be secured to the base block. | 12-05-2013 |
20130325021 | METHOD OF ASSEMBLING AND POSITIONING A FEMORAL ORTHOPAEDIC SURGICAL INSTRUMENT - A method for performing an orthopaedic surgical procedure on a femur includes attaching a proximal end of an intramedullary adaptor to an intramedullary orthopaedic surgical instrument, securing a distal end of an intramedullary adaptor to a base cutting block, inserting the intramedullary orthopaedic surgical instrument into a medullary canal using the base cutting block, and positioning the base cutting block on a distal end of the femur. | 12-05-2013 |
20140243834 | FEMORAL ORTHOPAEDIC SURGICAL INSTRUMENT INCLUDING A MEASUREMENT DEVICE AND METHOD OF USE OF SAME - An orthopaedic surgical instrument assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes an orthopaedic surgical instrument including a first surface, and a measurement gauge removably coupled to the orthopaedic surgical instrument. The gauge includes an arm having a tip positioned proximal to the orthopaedic surgical instrument, and a plurality of markings defined on the arm. Each marking indicates a predetermined distance from the first surface of the orthopaedic surgical instrument. The assembly may be used during an orthopaedic surgical procedure on a femur, which is also described herein. | 08-28-2014 |
20140276836 | METHOD OF SURGICALLY PREPARING A PATIENT'S FEMUR - A number of orthopaedic surgical instruments for use in a surgical procedure to prepare a patient's femur to receive an orthopedic prosthesis are disclosed. The tools include guide tools, cutting tools, surgical blocks, and other orthopaedic surgical instruments configured to plan and guide the preparation of the patient's femur. A method of using the orthopaedic surgical instruments is also disclosed. | 09-18-2014 |
20140276837 | FEMORAL ORTHOPAEDIC INSTRUMENT ASSEMBLY FOR SETTING OFFSET - A number of orthopaedic surgical instruments for use in a surgical procedure to prepare a patient's femur to receive an orthopedic prosthesis. The tools include guide tools, cutting tools, surgical blocks, and other orthopaedic surgical instruments configured to plan and guide the preparation of the patient's femur.

20140276838 | FEMORAL SYSTEM HANDLE SURGICAL INSTRUMENT AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLING SAME - An orthopaedic surgical instrument assembly includes a system handle configured to clamp a broach and femoral stem trial assembly. The system handle includes a clamp lever and a release lever both pivotally coupled to the system handle, and a leaf spring connecting the clamp lever and the release lever. When the release lever is moved from an unclamped position to a clamped position, the leaf spring is put in tension, and the clamp lever engages a flange of the broach, securing the broach to the system handle. Methods of assembling the system handle are described and claimed. | 09-18-2014 |
20140276850 | FEMORAL SURGICAL INSTRUMENT AND METHOD OF USING SAME - An orthopaedic surgical instrument assembly includes an instrument handle configured to clamp a broach and femoral stem trial assembly. A depth stop is configured to removably couple to the instrument handle. When the broach and femoral stem trial are advanced into a medullary canal of a patient's femur, a substantially planar proximal surface of the depth stop is configured to engage the distal surface of the femur, determining the depth of the broach in the medullary canal. The proximal surface of the depth stop is parallel to the joint line, defining an oblique angle to the anatomical axis of the femur. The depth stop may be attached to the instrument handle at a number of positions to control the depth of the broach. The assembly may include a spacer plate removably coupled to the depth stop that distalizes the broach in the medullary canal. | 09-18-2014 |
