Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to bone implants, and more specifically to a bone prosthesis having a preapplied cement mantle.
  • a prosthesis is an artificial replacement of a limb, bone or other part of the body.
  • a prothesis attempts to emulate the function of the replaced body part.
  • the present invention is directed to those prostheses which are implanted into a bone of a body, human or otherwise.
  • Implantation of a new prosthesis into a bone may be required in several instances.
  • One example is where it is impossible for a badly arthritic joint to be repaired. In this situation, the damaged portions of the joint are sectioned (cut) and removed.
  • Another example is where removal of bone tissue occurs due to cancer or disease.
  • the prosthesis is implanted to compensate for the loss in length of the bone and/or joint mobility.
  • a new prosthesis may be required where problems with an existing prosthesis develop, such as loosening which creates subsequent movement of the prosthesis within the bone.
  • the body's rejection of an existing prosthesis may necessitate replacement. Replacement of an existing prosthesis is performed during revision surgery.
  • bone-implanted prostheses may be implanted into a bone by mechanical means such as (1) screwing the implant into the bone, or (2) drilling a cavity into the bone, inserting the prosthesis into the drilled cavity and anchoring the prosthesis to the bone cavity with an adhesive or cement.
  • the present invention is directed to the latter means of implantation.
  • a critical factor in the successful implantation of a prosthesis is the strength and stability of the means by which the prosthesis is anchored to the bone and the means by which the cement is anchored to the prosthesis.
  • a stronger, more stable anchoring means increases the probability of a successful implantation.
  • Various methods of anchoring prostheses into bone have been the subject of much recent research and development and form the basis for the present invention.
  • the femur or thigh bone
  • the following discussion utilizes the femur as a bone suitable for a prosthesis implantation.
  • the present invention is directed to bone implants generally as opposed to the more narrow field of femoral bone implants.
  • femoral prostheses are utilized in what is commonly known as a hip replacement.
  • a hip replacement the upper portion of the femur is replaced with a femoral prosthesis.
  • a femoral prosthesis consists of a body and an acetabular cup.
  • the body is provided with a stem, a neck and a ball.
  • the stem is anchored into the femur while the acetabular cup is anchored into the hip joint space in the pelvis.
  • the ball fits into the acetabular cup.
  • the surgeon In hip replacements, proc ⁇ durally, the surgeon first exposes the joint socket. An acetabular cup is placed in the pelvis after reaming the acetabulum. Next, in the femur the surgeon removes all diseased or damaged tissues and cleans or hollows out a cone-like femoral cavity using a broach and reamer. The stem is inserted and anchored into the femoral cavity.
  • a conventional femoral stem may be anchored to the bone in a variety of ways including: a mechanical interlock; a coating; polymer cement; or a combination of these. Each of these methods are well known in the art. U.S.
  • Patent No. 4,994,759 to Mallory et al. discloses an example of a screw and coating combination.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,983, 183 to Horowitz discloses an example of a combination of a coating and cement to anchor a prosthesis.
  • An example of using a coating to anchor a prosthetic stem is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,718,912 to Crowinshield.
  • Hydroxyapatite is a common mixture of calcium and phosphate.
  • Synthetic hydroxyapatite is a polycrystalline apatite ceramic that is dense, nonporous, nonresorbable, and inert. It bonds strongly to and integrates with living bone.
  • the coating is applied to the outside surface of the stem. After the coating is applied, the stem is press-fit into the femoral cavity.
  • the porous coating comes into direct contact with the femur. Because the coating is porous, it contains interstices into which the bone can easily regenerate and grow. Such bone ingrowth into the stem enhances the stability and strength of the stem-to-bone interface, thereby anchoring the prosthesis into the bone. A stronger anchor increases the probability of a successfully implanted, stable femoral prosthesis.
  • Polymer cement used in bone implants commonly consists of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), although other compositions of polymer cement with a lower modulus of elasticity are also used. Polymer cement is also referred to by those skilled in the art as acrylic cement. Polymer cement is typically stored in powder form as two separate components which are mixed to a pourable, paste-like consistency to activate the cement characteristics. The cement typically hardens within approximately 10 minutes after mixing. When anchoring a prosthesis using polymer cement, the surgeon mixes enough cement to ensure a quantity sufficient to fill the cavity and coat the stem. This mixing step takes approximately two minutes. After mixing, the surgeon places the cement into the femoral cavity using a cement gun, being careful to avoid the sides of the femoral cavity to prevent trapping air. The prosthesis is coated with cement, pressed into the femoral cavity, and held until the cement hardens. Any excess cement displaced by insertion of the stem is wiped away.
  • PMMA polymethyl methacrylate
  • Another disadvantage of the polymer cement anchoring method is the possibility of stem-to-bone contact.
  • the polymer cement is mixed and poured into the femoral cavity; the stem is coated with polymer cement and inserted into the cavity, displacing the poured cement.
  • the stem can be pushed too far in one direction within the cavity thereby completely displacing the cement in that area and causing a portion of the stem to come into direct contact with the bone.
  • the cement will set and the stem will be permanently fixed in direct contact with the bone.
  • This direct contact can cause a less than optimal distribution of cement thickness and lead to cement fracture and paniculate debris.
  • the cement must be broken and removed and the stem must be replaced during revision surgery. This increases the cost of the implant procedure and can result in additional loss of bone material critical to successful placement and stability of the prosthesis.
  • a further disadvantage of polymer cement anchoring is that cement shrinks approximately 4% in volume during curing. When this shrinkage occurs in the femoral cavity after the stem is inserted, the integrity of the interface between the cement and the cavity and between the cement and the stem is at risk.
  • Another disadvantage of polymer cement anchoring is that upon mixing of the bone cement, an exothermic reaction takes place. The resulting elevated temperature caused by cement curing within the femoral cavity can cause death of the surrounding body tissue.
  • the Pratt patent (the Pratt patent), the disclosure of which is herein incorporated in its entirety by reference.
  • the inventor of the present invention is a named co-inventor of the invention of the Pratt patent.
  • the Pratt patent discloses a prothesis having a preapplied cement mantle ranging in thickness between 3-5 millimeters and a prepared bone cavity covered by a second quantity of cured cement. After the cement covering the cavity has cured, a third quantity of cement is introduced into the bone cavity to bond the mantle to the cavity-covering cement. Accordingly, the Pratt patent still requires that a large amount of cement be mixed and placed within the femoral cavity to set the prosthesis. Moreover, the chances of foreign matter being introduced into the cavity are greatly increased by requiring two layers of cement between the mantle and the femoral cavity. Further, the Pratt patent doubies the duration of time that the cavity tissue is exposed to elevated temperatures because the cement covering the cavity must cure before the third quantity of bonding cement is introduced and allowed to cure.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,133,771 to Duncan et al. discloses the incorporation of a mantle of substantial thickness on a temporary prosthesis stem prior to insertion.
  • the Duncan patent uses the actual femoral cavity as a mold for the mantle. Therefore, the problem of air pocket formation or homogeneity in the cement mantle and bonding between the stem and the cement persists because the unavoidable steps of pouring a large quantity of cement into the cavity and inserting the stem remain unchanged from the conventional operating room procedure.
  • the present invention provides these features by mating a thick cement mantle to a femoral stem under highly controlled conditions in a factory during manufacturing of the stem. While mating a thick cement mantle to a femoral stem, consideration must also be given to the possibility of future events such as infection, death of the bone tissue, breaking of the femur due to falling, or the like which necessitate the extraction of the prosthesis and cement for replacement. Because of these considerations, it is advantageous to also configure the present invention to allow ease of extraction of the prosthesis during revision surgery. This is accomplished by providing longitudinal channels, grooves, or apertures along the stem and providing a cement mantle which fills the channels, grooves or apertures while providing a smooth outer surface.
  • the channels allow greater ease of extraction of the stem from the femur. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a prosthesis with a cement mantle which is homogenous, without the air pockets inherent in operating room cement mixing and pouring operations.
  • the optimal thickness of the mantle assures that only a small percentage of the entire volume of cement applied during surgery and occupying the femoral cavity has a chance to develop air pockets and that the cement will see increased pressurization into the bone interstices because of the bulk of the prosthesis-polymer construction.
  • a further object of the present invention is that the coating on the prosthetic stem can be made with the cross-sectional area of the polymer coating greater comprising at least 30% and as much as 40% or greater of the total cross-sectional area of the prosthesis. Therefore, the thick mantle-stem combination occupies nearly the entire femoral cavity and there is a large reduction in the volume of cement which must be poured into the cavity causing less volumetric shrinkage of the poured cement and less heat from reacting bone cement.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is that stem-to-bone contact is eliminated by providing a mantle which covers the entire stem within the femoral cavity.
  • a further object of the present invention is to configure a stem with longitudinal channels which allow ease of extraction of the prosthesis from the femur during revision surgery.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a mantle with a modulus of elasticity which is lesser than that of the stem, but greater than that of the bone cement.
  • the invention is a prosthetic implant comprising a stem having a proximal end, a distal end, an outer surface and a preapplied mantle disposed over the entire portion of the outer surface of the stem.
  • the mantle has an outermost surface that is preshaped to correspond approximately to the size and shape of a femoral cavity.
  • the mantle is preapplied to the stem of the prosthetic implant by injection molding.
  • a thin film of precoat is applied to the stem prior to injection molding the mantle.
  • the precoat may be a polymer and may be applied by plasma spraying.
  • Additives may be introduced into the mantle to enhance its flexibility over conventional mantles made from PMMA.

  • Bone plug 31 forces cement 26 to flow towards proximal end 18 of stem 16 by blocking cement 26 from flowing downwardly into the medullary canal of femur 30.

  • a collar (not pictured) may be disposed between the neck and the stem and, if provided, would be seated over the calcar 22 and bone interior 24.

Another possible composite material is a combination of metal alloy and high density polyethylene or polytetrafluoroethylene. The preferred stem material is the cobalt-chromium alloy.
  • One unique aspect of the present invention is the marriage of a homogenous mantle 280, thereby providing maximum strength, to the outer surface of a state-of-the-art stem 160 under controlled conditions.
  • the mantle 280 is formed by applying a polymer to prosthetic stem 160.
  • the surface of stem 160 may be cleaned by acid etching or gritblasting prior to application of the polymer in order to provide a pristine surface for bonding.
  • the polymer may be any conventional cement having a low modulus of elasticity.
  • the preferred polymer used to manufacture mantle 280 is PMMA which is also used in making plexiglass, although other polymers having varying moduli of elasticity are also contemplated.
  • Using a factory manufactured mantle 280 eliminates the need to combine large quantities of PMMA powder components in the operating room.
  • the polymer mantle 280 is applied to a clean stem 160 by injection molding wherein stem 160 is disposed inside- a mold and the polymer is injected into the mold to surround and adhere to stem 160. Further, because the application of mantle 280 to stem 160 occurs under factory-controlled conditions, environmental factors such as temperature, pressure and position can all be controlled to ensure optimal bonding. It is possible to provide additives to the PMMA prior to application of the mantle 280 to the stem 160 to provide a mantle 280 having greater flexibility than a mantle 280 made solely from PMMA.
  • Mantle 280 Possible additives to mantle 280 include styrene and barium sulfide.
  • Mantle 280 occupies a large sectional area relative to stem 160.
  • Mantle 280 is constructed to closely approximate the diameter of cavity 34 such that when placed therein it deviates from the inner surface of cavity 34 by as little as possible, for example about 1.0 mm.

  • the plasma sprayed thin film provides a superior stem-to-cement bond and an improved surface for adherence by the injection molded mantle 280. It is contemplated that the thin film need not be formed from the same material as the material which is injection molded to form the mantle.
  • One advantage of custom manufacturing prosthesis 100 is that all its dimensions may be calculated using finite element analysis to maximize the dimensions of prosthesis 100 along its length within a reshaped femoral cavity 34 while allowing for insertion of prosthesis 100 into cavity 34.
  • the stem geometry is a critical aspect of the invention.
  • An objective function is comprised of a linear combination of three critical stress parameters: maximum effective stress (i.e. von Mises stress) in the cement mantle 280, the maximum effective stress in the metal core, and the maximum stress difference (the degree of stress protection) in the proximal medial cortical bone.
  • maximum effective stress i.e. von Mises stress
  • maximum effective stress in the cement mantle 280 the maximum effective stress in the metal core
  • maximum stress difference the degree of stress protection
  • a cobalt-chromium alloy model and a titanium alloy model can be used.
  • the optimal solution occurs when no further improvement (reduction) in the objective function is possible.
  • these models provide quantitative relationships for the principal stresses in the cortical bone and the shear stresses at the prosthesis-bone interface as a function of the modulus of the prosthesis.
  • the principal stresses in the cortical bone are normalized to the corresponding stresses predicted for the intact femur to evaluate the degree of stress protection as a function of the material properties of the metal core.
  • stem 160 resulting from such analysis preferably will not have a circular cross-section because such a cross-section may not provide sufficient strength upon torsional loading.
  • stem 160 preferably does not have sharp edges because such a geometry may cause mantle 280 to split, thereby interfering with its integrity. Therefore, stem 160 must be of a geometry which provides torsional strength while promoting the integrity of mantle 280.
  • the mantle 280 of prosthesis 100 will have a radial thickness of between 2.0 to 5.0 millimeters.
  • Prosthesis 100 is implanted into femur 30 in the following manner. First, a femoral cavity 34 is created. Then, a bone plug 31 may be inserted at the bottom of cavity 34. Next, a small amount of cement 26 is poured into the cavity 34 and used to coat the mantle 280. Because the geometry of the mantle 280 provides a close fit between the cavity 34 and the mantle 280, only a small quantity of cement is required to bridge the gap. Stem 160 and mantle 280, which is adhered thereto, of prothesis 100 are inserted into cavity 34. Because of the close proximity between mantle 280 and the wall of cavity 34, mantle 280 pressurizes cement 26 causing it to flow upwardly and completely surround mantle 280.
  • Bone plug 31 is tightly fitted within cavity 34 and forces cement 26 to flow towards proximal end 18 of stem 160 by blocking cement 26 from flowing downwardly into the medullary canal of femur 30.
  • FIG 3 a magnified view of a portion of Figure 2 is depicted. Specifically, mantle 280 is shown in contact with cement 26 which penetrates into interstices 32 in bone 24. The greatest distance between mantle 280 and bone 24 which is occupied by cement 26 is approximately 2.0 mm. As illustrated, the insertion of stem 160 into cavity 34 pressurizes cement 26, thereby pushing it into interstices 32 of the bone 24. Filling the interstices 32 with cement 26 is highly desirable in that a higher strength bond is formed between the femur 30 and cement 26 and air pocket formation due to unfilled interstices 32 is avoided.
  • Figure 4 illustrates the formation of cement 26 around mantle 280.
  • the cross-sectional area of prosthesis 100 is defined as the combined the cross-sectional area of mantle 280 and stem 160.
  • Mantle 280 occupies at least
  • the stem 160 is provided with a plurality of longitudinal channels 360.
  • the longitudinal channels 360 allow ease of extraction of the femoral component 100 from the femur by allowing a drill to be introduced into the channels to separate the stem 160 from the mantle 280 during revision surgery.
  • longitudinal channels 360 of stem 160 do not have sharp edges because such a geometry may interfere with the integrity of mantle 280 by causing mantle 280 to split.
  • another aspect of the present invention is a merging of the best possible stem 160 with the best possible mantle 280 together with a means for removing prosthesis 100 without destroying the bone.
  • Prosthesis 100 is formed when mantle 280 is secured to stem 160.
  • Mantle 280 is applied to stem 160 at a temperature which is greater than room temperature.
  • stem 160 may be heated while mantle 280 is secured thereto.
  • Applying mantle 280 to stem 160 before surgery has several advantages. First, a superior bond between mantle 280 and stem 160 is assured by using a controlled application of polymer to stem 160. Control is exercised over factors such as quantity, temperature, pressure, and time. The cooling of stem 160 and surrounding mantle 280 must be controlled to avoid nonuniform shrinking rates relative to stem 160 and mantle 280 as well as to intensify the mechanical adhesion between stem 160 and mantle 280.
  • Prosthesis 100 also has the relative advantage of decreased overall stiffness while being substantially femoral canal-filling. In the operating room theater prior to inserting the femoral component
  • Mantle 280 pressurizes mixed cement 26 so that it flows upwardly to form a thin layer of hardened cement 26 distributed throughout femoral cavity 34.
  • the PMMA mantle 280 and the mixed cement 26 may be chemically the same composition or the PMMA mantle 280 may include additives as previously described.
  • a chemically altered mantle 280 having additives will be more flexible than the layer of hardened mixed cement 26 lining femoral cavity 34 while still allowing for chemical bonding between mantle 280 (with additives) and mixed cement 26.

  • the invention relates generally to a preapplied mantel which, because of an object of the invention, occupies as much of the volume of the intramedullary canal as possible. Because the intramedullary canal and a typical stem may not taper to the same extent, the preapplied mantel may vary in thickness. In otherwords, the shape of the outermost surface is not strictly determined by the shape of the stem but rather, in large part a function of the shape of the canal in which the stem is inserted.
