Definitions
- the present invention relates to a modular knee prosthetic system used to replace the natural knee and, more particularly, to a unicompartmental and bicompartmental modular knee system having various distal posterior femoral components that are interchangeable with each other and with various patellar-femoral joint components.
- prosthetic knee components In knee artlroplasty, portions of the natural knee joint are replaced with prosthetic knee components.
- these components include a tibial component, a femoral component, and a patellar component.
- the femoral component generally includes a pair of spaced condyles that articulate with the tibial component.
- the components are made of materials that exhibit a low coefficient of friction when they articulate against one another.
- TKR total knee replacement
- TKR TK receptor balancing
- the normal, non-diseased knee is considered properly balanced when the deflection between the medial and lateral condyles and the tibial plateau is equal throughout the entire range of motion. If this balance is not achieved, abnormal knee kinematics occurs, and the TKR components and surrounding soft tissue can experience excessive forces even during normal range of motion. These excessive forces can further cause an abnormal gait, pain, and early failure of total knee replacements.
- Soft-tissue balancing can be achieved in TKR if the components are correctly sized and properly placed.
- tibial-femoral flexion gaps and extension gaps must be achieved.
- the flexion gap is defined as the space between the posterior coronal cut on the distal femur and transverse cut on the proximal tibia, while the knee is in 90° of flexion.
- the extension gap is defined as the space between the transverse cut on distal femur and the transverse proximal tibial cut while the knee is in complete extension. Soft tissue balance occurs when stability is achieved in both flexion and extension.
- Elevation of the joint line is one such compromise.
- An elevation of the joint line occurs when there is a change in distance from the original articular surface to the newly reconstructed surface. This change in distance is typically measured as a vertical distance from a fixed point on the tibia.
- the joint line can become elevated. Excessive medial or lateral releases and insertion of thicker plastic inserts can cause the line to elevate. Further, the joint line can become elevated when the femoral component is undersized. Such an undersize can create a larger flexion gap than extension gap. To balance these gaps, more bone may need to be removed from the distal femur; and this additional bone loss raises the joint line.
- Another surgical compromise often occurs when soft tissue gaps are not balance when implanting a distal femoral knee prosthesis.
- a healthy balance of these gaps maintains the natural kinematics of the patient.
- the compromise occurs when the operating surgeon must choose one of six or seven differently sized distal femur prostheses; and the size of these prostheses may not exactly match the size of an ideal prosthesis for the patient.
- current anterior referencing methodology to achieve balanced flexion and extension gaps in most patients requires the surgeon to slightly alter the joint line. If an anterior referencing sizing guide falls between two sizes, the surgeon could be forced to choose a smaller size prosthesis so the flexion gap is not overstuffed. A smaller prosthesis, in such an instance however, can consequently enlarge the flexion gap as much as 3.5 mm to 4 mm.
- MIS minimally invasive surgery
- MIS has many advantages over traditional surgical techniques since it provides shorter incisions, faster recovery times, and generally less pain for the patient.
- the surgical technique though, has limitations.
- current tricompartmental distal femoral prostheses cannot fit through the small incision, usually three inches in length.
- MIS has been generally limited to unicondylar or unicompartmental knee replacement prostheses that are much smaller in size and able to fit through the incision.
- the present invention is directed toward a modular knee system having various distal posterior femoral components that are interchangeable with each other and with various patellar-femoral joint components.
- the modular knee system has a variety of components that are interchangeable and connectable to resurface the distal femur using either a unicompartmental femoral knee prosthesis or a bicompartmental femoral knee prosthesis.
- These components include a medial distal posterior femoral component, a lateral distal posterior femoral component, a patellar-femoral joint component, and an interconnection mechanism to modularly connect the components together.
- the knee system of the present invention allows for modularity between the distal posterior femoral components and the patellar-femoral joint components.
- the interchangeability of these components enables mixing and matching of multiple sizes and thicknesses of all components. This interchangeability allows the surgeon to resurface the distal femur without overstuffing the patellar compartment or changing the natural tibial-femoral joint line.
- One advantage of the present invention is that the modularity of components gives the surgeon more diversification when choosing sizes for the medial and lateral condyles. The deflection between these condyles and the tibial plateau, thus, can be more easily equalized throughout the range of motion. As such, the soft-tissue can be more easily balanced.
- Another important advantage of the present invention is that the various knee components are interchangeable and can be more correctly sized for an accurate fit. As such, more equal tibial-femoral flexion gaps and extension gaps can be achieved. In particular, excessive medial or lateral releases and insertion of thicker plastic inserts can be more easily avoided. Elevation of the joint line in these situations can be minimized or, better yet, avoided.
- modularity of the knee components enables a more natural balance between soft tissue gaps when implanting a distal femoral knee prosthesis. If, for example, different sizing occurs between the medial and lateral sides of the distal posterior components, differently sized distal posterior femoral components can be connected together to accommodate this variance of sizing. Thus, differently sized condyles may be implanted on the medial and lateral sides to more closely replicate the natural anatomy of the patient. Further, additional bone may be saved and not unnecessarily removed from the distal femur or from the tibia.
- the present invention can more readily accommodate various sizes during knee replacement surgery, the natural location of the joint line can be maintained. Certain problems associated with altering the joint line can be avoided or minimized.
- the present modular knee system can also help achieve natural loading and kinematics of the patellar-femoral joint.
- the various sizes and interchangeability of knee components can enable more correctly sized patellar-femoral joints. In some situations, overstuffing can be avoided.
- all of the individual components of the modular knee system of the present invention is small enough to be used during minimally invasive surgery or MIS.
- Each modular component can fit through a three inch incision.
- the modular components can be assembled after being inserted through the incision.
- the modular knee system can be used with either unicompartmental, bicompartmental, or tricompartmental procedures (i.e., either unicondylar, bicondylar, or tricompartmental knee replacements).
- the modularity of the present knee system reduces the overall number of individual components required in a knee product line. This reduction has significant cost savings.
- the present invention comprises a combination of features and advantages that overcome various problems, deficiencies, or shortcomings associated with prior devices.
- the various features and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art upon referring to the accompanying drawings and reading the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention.

- a stand-alone distal/posterior component can be used as an MIS unicompartmental prosthesis.
- surgeon can make the intraoperative choice of unicompartmental or bicompartmental procedure.
- a stand-alone Asian distal/posterior component would allow a unicompartmental or bicompartmental procedure that would closely replicate the Asian anatomy.
- Posterior femoral components of two different thickness options may be implanted on the medial and lateral condyles. This option will allow the surgeon to correctly replicate the natural patient anatomy.
- An attachment or connection feature and mechanism between the anterior PFJC and the distal components allows a surgeon to convert a unicompartmental knee to a primary knee by simply attaching the anterior component to the existing distal/posterior component(s).
- the attachment features would also allow the surgeon to convert a PFJC to a total knee replacement without revising the PFJC.
