- the concave recess 758 is illustrated as having a generally smooth, uninterrupted articular surface, it should be understood that a surface depression or cavity may be defined along a portion of the recess 758 to aid in clearing out matter, such as particulate debris, that is disposed between the abutting articular surfaces of articular components 702 , 704 .
- the convex articular surface of the projection 730 may alternatively define a generally smooth, uninterrupted articular surface.
- each of the convex projection 730 and the concave recess 758 may define a surface depression to facilitate removal of particulate matter disposed between the abutting articular surfaces.
- a flange member or keel 760 configured similar to the keel 740 of articular component 702 , extends from the bearing surface 754 .
- the keel 760 extends perpendicularly from the bearing surface 754 and is approximately centrally located along bearing surface 754 .
- the articular component 704 may include two or more keels 760 extending from the bearing surface 754 .
- the keel 760 extends along substantially the entire length of the support plate 750 . Such an embodiment would accommodate insertion of the prosthetic joint 700 using an anterior approach. However, as discussed above, other approaches such as lateral, transforaminal, and anterior-oblique approaches are also contemplated for insertion of the prosthetic joint 700 .
- the keel 760 may be angled, tapered, or configured in some other shape to facilitate the functional demands of the keel.
- the keel 760 may be configured as a winged keel, including a transverse portion (not shown) extending across the main body portion of keel 760 .
- the keel 760 also includes a pair of openings 762 extending therethrough to facilitate bone through-growth to enhance fixation to the adjacent vertebra.
- any number of openings 762 may be defined through keel 760 , including a single opening or three or more openings.
- the openings 762 need not necessarily extend entirely through the keel 760 , but may alternatively extend partially therethrough.
- the keel 760 need not necessarily define any openings 762 extending either partially or entirely therethrough.
- the openings 762 are illustrated as having a circular configuration, it should be understood that other sizes and configurations of openings 762 are also contemplated.
- the surfaces of the articular component 704 that are in direct contact with vertebral bone are preferably coated with a bone-growth promoting substance.
- the bearing surface 754 and the surfaces of the keel 760 can be coated with hydroxyapatite to promote bony engagement with the adjacent vertebrae.
- the bearing surface 754 and the surfaces of keel 760 can be roughened prior to application of the hydroxyapatite coating.
- one or both of the keels 740 , 760 may include a sharp forward edge, illustrated by edge 760 a of FIGS. 45 and 46. By having such an edge, insertion of the keel 740 , 760 into the associated vertebral body is facilitated. Also, the edge 760 a can be of sufficient sharpness that the vertebral body does not require a slot for receiving the keel 760 , discussed in greater detail below.
- the mobile-bearing prosthetic joint 700 is assembled by inserting the modular projection 722 member into the recess 714 formed in the articular surface 708 of articular component 702 . Upon assemblage, the prosthetic joint 700 is ready to be inserted into the disc space S 1 between adjacent vertebral bodies V S , V I (FIG. 48).
- the adjacent vertebral bodies V S , V I can be prepared to accept the prosthetic joint 700 therebetween.
- slots 770 , 772 are formed along the vertebral endplates of the vertebrae V S and the vertebrae V I , respectively.
- the slots 770 , 772 can be created by the keels 740 , 760 themselves, or can be prepared beforehand by one or more of the methods discussed above.
- the prosthetic joint 700 Upon insertion into the disc space S 1 , the prosthetic joint 700 allows translational movement of the articular component 704 relative to the articular component 702 due to the engagement of the modular projection 722 with the concave recess 758 of articular component 704 .
- the modular projection member 722 is shown in a posterior position (which would result in movement of the articular component 704 in the posterior direction P), while in FIG. 52, the modular projection member 722 is shown in an anterior position (which would result in movement of the articular component 704 in the anterior direction A).
- 51 and 52 are of course only exemplary of the translational movement allowed by the implementation of modular projection member 722 and the corresponding recess 714 , and thus, the amount of translational movement of the modular projection member 722 , and therefore the articular component 704 , relative to the articular component 702 can vary, including in directions other than P and A.
- the positioning of the modular projection member 722 within the recess 714 of the articular component 702 allows the modular projection to spin relative to the articular component 702 .
- the modular projection member 722 adds the benefit of being able to impart rotation to the articular component 704 (via the engagement with the recess 758 ) independent of translational movement imparted to the articular component 704 .
- Such independent relationship between translational and rotational movement adds to the amount of mobility experienced at the prosthetic joint 700 relative to prosthetic joints for which translational movement is dependent upon rotational movement and vice versa.
