Abstract:
An ankle implant having a tibial component with a bottom groove, a talar component with a convex dome on top, and a bearing component slidably insertable into the bottom groove in the tibial component and having a concave bottom recess receiving the top dome of the talar component. The tibial component is channel-shaped, with a flat bottom wall for reception in a corresponding surgically prepared recess in the bottom of the patient's tibia, an anteriorly inclined posterior end wall projecting up from its bottom wall, a taller anterior end wall perpendicular to its bottom wall, and a rounded groove on the inside at the juncture between the anterior and bottom walls. The talar component has a cross-shaped segment on the bottom for reception in a corresponding surgically prepared recess in the top of the patient's talus.
Prosthetic Devices Having A Universal Socket Design And Methods Of Making And Using The Same
A prosthetic device () comprising: a universal socket () operatively adapted and sized to receive a variety of stump sizes, said universal socket comprising: a first socket open end () sized to receive a user stump, a second socket end () opposite the first socket end, at least two differently sized socket regions (L, M, S) positioned between the first socket open end and the second socket end, said at least two differently sized socket regions comprising an upper socket region proximate the first socket open end and a lower socket region positioned between the upper socket region and the second socket end, wherein the upper socket region has an upper region cross-sectional area, the lower socket region has an lower region cross-sectional area, and the upper region cross-sectional area is greater than the lower region cross-sectional area.
