Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to surgery and more particularly to orthopaedic instruments for use in bone reperation.
- Devices and methods are described herein for implanting and aligning biomedical implants.
- Such devices may include or be used with components having patient-matched surfaces that generally conform to portions of a patient's anatomy, and other patient-matched features that are used to align surgical instruments and/or implants.
- a surgeon may use a variety of surgical instruments when performing a hip arthroplasty to implant an acetabular cup into a patient's acetabulum (or otherwise, when performing other orthopaedic surgeries to implant a biomedical device into a patient's anatomy).
- the surgeon may use a reamer (or other cutting device) to mill out the acetabulum and thus form a socket within which an artificial cup can be anchored.
- An impactor also may be used to drive the cup into place within the acetabulum.
- the surgeon must take care that the instruments are oriented as precisely as possible, so that the acetabular cup will ultimately be positioned and oriented as intended with the greatest possible precision.
- the acetabular cup is not properly positioned (for example, if it has too shallow or too high of a cup inclination angle), the patient may experience excessive wear on the acetabular cup or components used with the acetabular cup, dislocation, impingement, limited ranges of motion, infection, or rejection of the implant. Improper alignment may be more prone to occur if the surgeon performs the surgery freehanded.
- Patient-matched devices may include a patient- matched surface that generally conforms to a portion of the patient's anatomy, and an alignment mechanism that is positioned at a fixed orientation with respect to the patient-matched surface.
- the alignment mechanism is an alignment post extending away from the patient-matched surface along a predetermined axis. This axis may be pre-operatively determined to correspond to (or at least indirectly reflect) the proper orientation of surgical instruments and/or implants that are used in the surgery.
- An alignment base and platform may selectively couple to the patient-matched device and other instruments (such as a reamer or an impactor). The surgeon may use alignment indicators on the alignment platform to ensure that the proper orientation is maintained throughout the surgery. While for convenience, the devices and methods shown and described are generally shown as configured for use in procedures on a patient's acetabulum, it is anticipated that the same principals may be applied to surgical instruments and implants configured for use in other procedures.
- a surgical instrument for use in hip arthroplasty.
- the surgical instrument comprising: a patient matched device having a base portion and an alignment post, the base portion having a patient matched surface; an alignment base removably attached to the patient matched device; and at least one alignment indicator operatively connected to the alignment base.
- the at least one alignment indicator is integral with the alignment base.
- the alignment post comprises a keyed portion and a tip.
- the alignment post extends along an axis that reflects a pre-operatively determined desired orientation.
- the alignment post and the base portion are monolithic.
- the base portion is hollow.
- the at least one indicator comprises a bubble level. In one particular embodiment, the at least one indicator comprises a 3-axis electronic accelerometer. In another embodiment, the at least one indicator comprises an emitter. In still another embodiment, the alignment base comprises a body, a first prong, and a second prong. In yet another embodiment, the first prong and the second prong define a recess. In one embodiment, the surgical instrument further comprises an alignment platform removably attached to the alignment base, and the at least one indicator is integral with the alignment platform. In still another embodiment, the alignment base comprises a socket that receives a ball associated with the alignment platform.

- the alignment post 16 may comprise a keyed portion 18 and a tip 20.
- the alignment post 16 extends along an axis Al.
- Axis Al, and its relationship to the patient-matched surface 14 of the base portion 12 may be pre-operatively determined to reflect a desired orientation of the surgical instruments and/or implants used in the procedure.
- axis Al corresponds to the desired inclination and anteversion angles of certain instruments and/or implants relative to a patient's pelvic bone, including an acetabulum of the pelvic bone.
- the alignment post 16 may be integrally formed with the base portion 12, or may be formed separately and subsequently coupled to the base portion 12.
- the base portion 12 is shown as a solid body in FIGS. 1A-C, but in other embodiments, the base portion 12 may be "hollow" such that it resembles a cup or a bowl. Additionally, the base portion 12 may comprise a continuous surface (as in the figures), or a discontinuous surface.
- the base portion 12 comprises a patient-matched surface 14 that substantially conforms to at least a portion of the patient's anatomy.
- the patient- matched surface 14 may conform or otherwise fit to the anatomy in one position and orientation only (for example, only in the "12 o'clock position" within the acetabulum) rather than in multiple positions and/or orientations (each of the "2 o'clock position" and "4 o'clock position,” etc.). It is not necessary for the patient-matched surface 14 to extend continuously over the base portion 12. Rather, only select portions of the base portion 12 may comprise the patient-matched surface 14.
- the patient-matched surface 14 may be textured to improve the overall stability of the patient-matched device 10 with respect to the patient's acetabulum.
- the texturing may comprise serration, points, cross-hatch, grooves, ridges, bumps, or barbs that increase the friction between the patient's anatomy and the patient-matched surface 14.
- FIGS. 2A and B illustrate an embodiment of an alignment base 30.
- the alignment base 30 may include a body 32, a first prong 34, and a second prong 36.
- the first and second prongs 34, 36 define a recess 35 that can selectively couple with keyed portions of the patient-matched device 10, the reamer 60 (discussed below), or the impactor 92 (discussed below).
- the recess 35 is shown with planar sides, but other geometries are also within the scope of other embodiments.

- the alignment platform 50 includes at least one alignment indicator 52 that indicates the alignment or orientation of the alignment platform 50.
- the alignment indicator 52 may comprise a bubble level (which may include a bubble 53 that is measured against a scale).
- FIG. 3 shows both tubular and bulls-eye types of bubble levels.
- Other levels or other mechanical, electronic, or other types of devices for indicating the degree of inclination in one or more planes or axes may also be used.
- the alignment indicator 52 may include an emitter (such as a laser or other light source) that emits a beam of energy (such as a laser or a beam of light) to project on certain landmarks within the surgical environment.
- the alignment platform 50 is not necessary in all embodiments.
- the alignment base may have alignment indicators 52 such that a separate alignment platform 50 is not necessary.
- the alignment platform 50 may be coupled to the alignment base 30.
- the alignment base 30 comprises a socket 38 that receives a ball 54 associated with the alignment platform 50.
- a securing member 42 may be advanced within an aperture 40 (for example, by turning or pushing knob 44) until the securing member 42 presses against the ball 54.
- Other structure and methods for securing the alignment platform 50 to the alignment base 30 would be known to one of skill in the art.
- the alignment platform 50 may be formed integrally with the alignment base 30.
- the alignment base 30 may be coupled to the patient-matched device 10, either before or after the alignment platform 50 is coupled to the alignment base 30. Specifically, a keyed portion 18 of the patient-matched device 10 is received within the recess 35 defined by the first and second prongs 34, 36 of the alignment base 30. If desired, a fastener or other means (not shown in the figures) may be used to secure the alignment base 30 to the alignment post 16 such that the two components do not move with respect to each other. It may be desirable to minimize any relative movement of the alignment base 30 and the alignment post 16 in order to ensure that the proper orientation of the surgical instruments is maintained throughout the surgery. Although the sides of the recess 35 and the keyed portion 18 are both shown as planar, any other geometry is possible, provided that the alignment base 30 is secured and does not move with respect to the alignment post 16.

- the imaging data may be obtained with magnetic resonance imaging, x-ray (including digital x-rays), ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), or other techniques.
- CT computed tomography
- this disclosure refers generally to "imaging data," although it should be understood that in other embodiments, non-image based technologies could be used to obtain sufficient data about the anatomy of interest.
- the imaging data does not relate to the entire portion of the anatomy of interest (e.g., the entire acetabulum), but instead, only relates to certain key or desired anatomical points or areas (e.g., the medial portion of the acetabulum).
- the imaging data may be processed to define the patient-matched device 10.
- Step 204 may be comprised of multiple sub-steps.
- step 204 may include processing the imaging data to create a three-dimensional model of the patient's anatomy, and identifying desired position(s) and/or orientation(s) of instruments and/or implants with respect to the patient's anatomy. This step may also include designating alignment axes, cutting planes, or other constructs or references.

Abstract
Selon certains modes de réalisation, l'invention porte sur des dispositifs correspondant à un patient qui peuvent comprendre une surface correspondant à un patient, en ce qu'elle est généralement conforme à une partie de l'anatomie du patient, et un mécanisme d'alignement qui est positionné selon une orientation fixe par rapport à la surface correspondant au patient. Dans certains modes de réalisation, le mécanisme d'alignement est une broche d'alignement s'étendant loin de la surface correspondant au patient le long d'un axe prédéterminé. Cet axe peut être déterminé avant l'intervention chirurgicale pour correspondre à (ou au moins refléter indirectement) l'orientation correcte des instruments chirurgicaux et/ou des implants qui sont utilisés pendant l'intervention chirurgicale. Une base et une plateforme d'alignement peuvent être couplées de manière sélective au dispositif correspondant au patient et à d'autres instruments (tel qu'un alésoir ou un impacteur). Le chirurgien peut utiliser des indicateurs d'alignement sur la plateforme d'alignement pour assurer que l'orientation correcte est maintenue tout au long de l'intervention chirurgicale.
