Mar 17, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/811043

Inventors:

Jose Luis Moctezuma - Freiburg, DE

Matthew P. Poggie - Upper Montclair NJ

Assignee:

Howmedica Osteonics Corp. - Allendale NJ

International Classification:

A61B 1756

US Classification:

606 88

Abstract:

A method for aligning a resection guide relative to a patients bone has applications during arthroplasty. An alignment guide is coupled to a patients bone, to which there is coupled a resection guide. The resection guide is positioned along a transactional path and a plurality of rotational paths by manipulation of the alignment guide, thereby providing three degrees of freedom of manipulation over infinitely adjustable ranges.

C08F 2/50

US Classification:

523116, 424423, 623 2362, 525298, 522 6

Abstract:

A bone cement has a liquid acrylic monomer component, a powdered acrylic polymer component and yellowish beta-carotene (Pro-vitamin A) mixed into one of the liquid or powdered component and FDC blue No. 2 Lake powder mixed into the powdered component. The beta-carotene and FDC blue adds a greenish (yellow plus blue) color to the combined liquid and powdered component. The yellowish color disappears on setting of the bone cement leaving the cement blue.

International Classification:

A61F 2/28

US Classification:

623 235

Abstract:

Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to preparing models of three-dimensional structures. In particular, a model of a three-dimensional structure constructed of porous geometries is prepared. A component file including a porous CAD volume having a boundary is prepared. A space including the porous CAD volume is populated with unit cells. The unit cells are populated with porous geometries having a plurality of struts having nodes on each end. The space is populated with at least one elongated fixation element extending beyond the boundary to produce an interlocking feature enabling assembly or engagement with a mating structure.

A61B 17/17

US Classification:

623 222, 606 96

Abstract:

A method of reinforcing the bone in an acetabulum for receiving a prosthetic acetabular implant includes preparing a surface of the acetabulum to receive an acetabular implant. At least one porous generally cylindrical bone reinforcement element is provided. At least one bore is drilled in an area of the acetabulum receiving the prosthetic acetabular implant for receiving at least one and preferably more reinforcement elements in the form of cylindrical pilings. The cylindrical porous bone reinforcement element is inserted in the bore such that an exposed surface of the porous bone reinforcement element is adjacent the surface of the acetabulum. The acetabular implant is then implanted with an outer surface of the acetabular implant supported by the reinforcement members.

International Classification:

A61B 1756

US Classification:

606 80

Abstract:

A surgical instrument system for preparing the medullary canal of the femur for implanting a prosthetic femoral component includes a template to be used in determining osteotomy position from an x-ray. A gauge is provided to locate and mark this position on the anterior femur. A distal reamer having an elongated drive shaft is used to form the canal to receive the distal stem of the femoral component. A metaphyseal template is used to determine the proper anteversion/retroversion and a chisel is used to cut the lateral area of the femur, both of which are guided by the elongated reamer shaft. A proximal broach also guided by the reamer shaft is used to shape the proximal medullary canal.

Pfizer Hospital Products Group, Inc. - New York NY

International Classification:

A61M 3700

US Classification:

128 92Y

Abstract:

A femoral spacer for positioning a femoral prosthesis is disclosed comprising a hollow body portion having an outside surface and an inside surface. The outside surface is adapted to contact the intramedullary canal wall, and the inside surface is adapted to contact the proximal portion of the prosthesis such that the prosthesis is substantially centered within the intramedullary canal.
