Abstract
An artificial hip joint which addresses all prior disadvantages. Preferably the hip joint comprises a titanium plate with a roughened surface, screw thread and underlying acetabulum cap. The plate may be attached with a three-part fastener comprising a screw-threaded base, spiked inner part and conical locking nut with side apertures. The femoral portion may comprise a shaft mounted to a detachable head and neck. The shaft may comprise an outer thistle with holes and inner thistle with a spiky outer surface which fit together and encourage knitting and the circulation of nutrients. The spikes may have pronged tips. The prosthesis may have optimum dimensions and angles. The bone cement used for fixing the prosthesis may include boron.
Description
L 2447018 Advanced Artificial Hip Joint
Background
Evolution of hip joint; a) 1925 (M. Smith -Peterson) ,-hemispherical glass attachment applied to degenerated ba/I on neck of femur, this broke.
b) 1936 Introduction of Cobalt-chmmium alloy, 1938 application of dental actylic resulting in limited movement and osteo (mechanical) arthritic degeneration of acetabulum cup.
C) Sir John Chamley first introduces a Teflon then a high density polyethylene socket with a dental bone cement to fasten cup to pelvis. (Clinical studies revealed inevitable severe failure over time).
d) Nick Spensor observed that polyethylene is hydrophobic (repels lubricating sync via).
Results welcomed by Hugh Phillips (Pres RCS). Decided that a hydrophilic additive to articulating surfaces would be a viable improvement. (2001).
e) Patent established for "femoral endoproSfhe)-is for artificial hip joint' comprising of 3D lattice structure attached to upper femoral shaft and connecting dome of cup (to underlying human trabeculae). The intention to pmvide a 3D trabecular structure for bone to "knit" into and prevent movement.
Problems 1) Detachment of acetabulum plate to pelvis. Inept cement and holding screws.
2) Synovial fluid entering between acetabulum plate and peMs.
3) Outer ace tabular cup (peculators I metal) thicker than normal, resulting in narrower diameter /smaller head, or attachment to less dense bone in pelvis (further away from hard outer bone). Diameter of ball of head (considering redistribution of pressure parameters between a football size object and the head of a needle (also round), excess repetitive stress on ace tabular cup facet.) - 4) Lack of lubrication around ball and cup. Hydrophobic action of polyethylene.
4) Ball wearing down with excess space, movement and forces on joint.
5) Deposits entering joint area from head and cup causing inflammatory analysis. (noted with post Charnley devices (high density polyethylene)).
6) Alteration of normal gait with unnatural forces occurring. Incorrect coxa varum/valgum wrong angle of neck of femur to shaft of artificial hip joint to individual.
7) Longer shaft need during revision surgery.
8) Lack of interconnection between artificial shaft to surrounding bone.
9) Alteration of normal gait with unnatural forces occurring. Incorrect coax arum/val gum.
10) Femoral shaft (standard operation) splinting or femoral neck (less common style of operation) exacerbated by rotation of femur to inner shaft of artificial joint (with constant body weight/ground reaction forces).
11) Unnatural, stiff and heavy materials taking space normally occupied by spongy,porous bone, blood vessels etc. Entrapment! atrophy of upper nutrient arteries (medialllateral circumflex arteries) between fat dagger-like shaft" and body weight forces and inner wall of upper femoral shaft. Quality of bone deteriorating (like a tree dying from the top I consider avascular necrosis of femoral head).
12) No consideration for elastic retention of potential gait energy.
Where components are invarIably over nd under engineered.
Discussion 2.
Consider someone hanging a picture on a screw into wall plaster near a train line.
Inner porous bone isn't that tough. It was nev9r designed to withhold the forces of body weight -ground reaction forces. It is also in a constant state of flux -remodeling as osteo..
clasts/blasts, minerals etc pass through the porous channels, It is simply not built for the job. Attempting to hold an artifidI fhiitr rk+ ar.c...-._-_i _L.tL * a small but significant discrepancy of up to 2 degrees (possibly more in some cases / its difficult to get clear data on this, and I'm cynical about accepted clinical assumptions, as I've yet to find any clear studies in this area). An inclination out of alignment by 2 degrees would possibly exacerbate normal biomechanical loading (to that individual) with excess loading occurring at focal points on ball/head and retaining cup.
