Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to modular implantable orthopedic prostheses, and particularly those which are adjustable in size to fit a given patient's needs.
  • Various prostheses have heretofore been designed to replace one or both components of a ball and socket hip joint.
  • the ball portion is connected to an arm composed of a neck and a stem or shaft which stem or shaft is embedded in the intramedullary canal of the proximal femur for hip reconstruction.
  • Such prostheses are often formed with an integral stem and neck portion.
  • a removable ball or head element is positioned on the proximal end of the neck. See, for example, U.S. Patent Numbers 4,012, 795 or 4,459, 708.
  • U. S. Patent No. 5, 108,452 to Fallin shows a modular hip having extension sleeves to adjust the length between the ball and neck as well as additional pads to increase the cross-sectional shape of the prosthesis body.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,878,917 to Kranz et al. discloses a modular hip prosthesis having a stem with a distal tip that is radially expandable to anchor the stem against the medullary canal wall.
  • U. S. Patent No. 4,846,839 to Noiles discloses a modular prosthesis design, alternatively adaptable to either total hip or knee arthroplasty, which presents a stepped contour interface with the patient's bone.
  • the components of this design are connected via conventional Morse tapers.
  • a further type of device used for the fixation of modular prosthesis components is sold by H. D. Holmes under the registered trademark Spiralock®, consisting of a clamping screw which fastens a standard Morse taper connection together, e. g., connecting either the tibial tray or femoral component of a total knee joint to its respective stem.
  • Spiralock® consisting of a clamping screw which fastens a standard Morse taper connection together, e. g., connecting either the tibial tray or femoral component of a total knee joint to its respective stem.
  • a further example of the use of such locking screws in a modular hip prosthesis is found in U. S. Patent No. 5,3
  • U. S. Patent No. 5,405,398 to Buford, III et al. discloses a knee prosthesis with a femoral component having a pin including a split ring which expands to keep the pin in place.
  • U. S. Patent Nos. 5,531, 792 to Huene and 4,011,602 to Rybicki, et al. each show bone fixation plugs having radially expanding members to apply compressive forces against the surrounding bone and promote ingrowth of the tissue into the member. Neither of these contemplate an improved mechanism for connecting the components of modular orthopedic implants of the type used in large or small total joint arthroplasty.
  • the modular knee and hip joint prostheses address the need for either or both the ball component or trochanteral module component to be removed if replacement becomes necessary, without extraction of the stem from the bone canal.
  • Different size balls or trochanteral components could also be substituted should the surgeon decide that such revision is necessary after a period of time.
  • These conventional devices also contemplate selecting from a variety of sizes of their components, in order to match the anatomy of a given patient as closely as possible within the inherent variability of the assembly.
  • the modular systems notwithstanding the variability offered in their assemblage of specifically sized components, fail to provide an infinite variability within a given size range while creating a biomechanical assembly of enhanced strength. That is, the prior assemblies introduce tors ⁇ onal stresses at the junctures of their components which do not necessarily reflect a unitary construction. Moreover, a wide array of sizes must be kept in stock during surgery to match a patient's anatomy.
  • an implantable modular orthopedic prosthesis which consists of three components.
  • a first component has an elongated stem with a free end, configured to be situated within the intramedullary canal of a patient's bone, and an opposite end having an articulating portion.
  • a second component has another articulating portion which is matingly engageable with the articulating portion of the first component.
  • a third component has a body with a linearly-extruded channel through which the articulating portions are adjustably received, wherein at least one of the components is radially-expansible to pressure lock against an internal surface of the channel in a selected position and arrest the first, second and third components together as the articulating portions are fully engaged with one another.
  • the prosthesis is a modular hip, while in another preferred embodiment it is a modular knee, particularly, a tibial prosthesis.
  • the articulating portions are complementary Morse-tapered connectors.
  • a tensioning member urges the articulating portions together, causing the radially-expanding component to pressure-lock against the internal surface of the channel and affix the three components together.
  • the radial-expansion take the form of a split collet mechanism.
  • An advantage of the present invention is an improved mechanism for interlocking the components of a modular orthopedic prosthesis which, following implantation, functions as a unitary biomechanical structure.
  • Another advantage of the present invention is a prosthetic system which is easy to use and interoperatively adjustable to fit minute variations in a patient's given anatomy, while minimizing the inventory of component sizes needed on hand during surgery.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une prothèse orthopédique modulaire implantable (10, 110), destinée de préférence à être utilisée dans l'arthroplastie de la hanche (10) ou du genou (110), cette prothèse étant constituée de trois composants (12, 20, 24; 112, 120, 124). Le premier composant comporte une partie arrière (12, 112) dotée d'une extrémité libre (14, 114), conçue pour être placée dans le canal intramédullaire de l'os d'un patient, et d'une extrémité opposée (16, 116) ayant une partie articulée telle qu'un élément en forme de cône Morse (18, 118). Un second composant (20, 120) possède une autre partie articulée qui peut également être un élément en forme de cône Morse correspondant (22, 122) venant en contact de façon à s'accoupler avec la partie articulée (18, 118) du premier composant (12, 112). Un troisième composant (24, 124) possède un corps (26, 126) pourvu d'un canal extrudé de manière linéaire (28, 128) dans lequel sont admises, de façon à pouvoir se régler, les parties articulées (18, 22; 118, 122). Au moins un des composants (12, 20; 112, 120) peut se dilater radialement (32, 132) et exercer une pression contre une surface interne (30, 130) du canal (28, 128) dans une position choisie et bloquer les premier (12, 112), deuxième (20, 120) et troisième composants (24, 124) de façon à ce que les parties articulées (18, 22; 118, 122) s'engagent totalement les unes dans les autres. L'implant orthopédique modulaire de l'invention (10,110) fonctionne comme une structure biomécanique unitaire et est simple à utiliser du fait qu'il peut se régler de manière peropératoire pour s'adapter à de faibles variations en fonction de l'anatomie du patient et qu'il est possible, en même temps, de réduire le nombre de tailles requises des composants à portée de main, lors d'une intervention.
