Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to arthroplasty devices, systems, and methods. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to adjustable arthroplasty devices, systems, and methods for surgical repair of a diseased joint.
  • Joint arthroplasty procedures are surgical procedures in which one or more articulating surfaces of a joint are replaced with prosthetic articulating surfaces. Such procedures are becoming increasingly commonplace, particularly for knees.
  • knee arthroplasty For a successful knee arthroplasty, it is important that the knee implants arc correctly oriented and placed with respect to the patient’s bones to remain in place, avoid subsequent complications, and maintain the necessary wear characteristics. Further, it is desirable for the knee arthroplasty procedure to be carried out quickly, smoothly, and at a lower cost. Many existing knee arthroplasty implants, systems, and methods are time-consuming to implant as they require complicated, costly, and time consuming trialing instruments and associated trialing procedures.

Description

ADJUSTABLE ARTHROPLASTY DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS
TECHNICAL FIELD
|0001| The present disclosure relates to arthroplasty devices, systems, and methods. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to adjustable arthroplasty devices, systems, and methods for surgical repair of a diseased joint.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Joint arthroplasty procedures are surgical procedures in which one or more articulating surfaces of a joint are replaced with prosthetic articulating surfaces. Such procedures are becoming increasingly commonplace, particularly for knees.
[0003] For a successful knee arthroplasty, it is important that the knee implants arc correctly oriented and placed with respect to the patient’s bones to remain in place, avoid subsequent complications, and maintain the necessary wear characteristics. Further, it is desirable for the knee arthroplasty procedure to be carried out quickly, smoothly, and at a lower cost. Many existing knee arthroplasty implants, systems, and methods are time-consuming to implant as they require complicated, costly, and time consuming trialing instruments and associated trialing procedures.
[0004] Accordingly, infinitely adjustable arthroplasty devices, systems, and methods that can eliminate the need for complicated, costly, and time consuming trialing instruments and procedures would be desirable.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[00149] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be best understood by reference to the drawings, wherein like parts are designated by like numerals throughout. It will be readily understood that the components of the present disclosure, as generally described and illustrated in the drawings, could be arranged, and designed in a wide variety of different configurations. Thus, the following more detailed description of the embodiments of the devices, systems, and methods, as represented in the drawings, is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure but is merely representative of exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure.
[00150] The word "exemplary" is used herein to mean "serving as an example, instance, or illustration." Any embodiment described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments. While the various aspects of the embodiments are presented in the drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated. [00151] Standard medical planes of reference and descriptive terminology are employed in this specification. While these terms are commonly used to refer to the human body, certain terms are applicable to physical objects in general.
[00152] A standard system of three mutually perpendicular reference planes is employed. A sagittal plane divides a body into right and left portions. A coronal plane divides a body into anterior and posterior portions. A transverse plane divides a body into superior and inferior portions. A mid-sagittal, mid-coronal, or mid-transverse plane divides a body into equal portions, which may be bilaterally symmetric. The intersection of the sagittal and coronal planes defines a superior-inferior or cephalad- caudal axis. The intersection of the sagittal and transverse planes defines an anterior-posterior axis. The intersection of the coronal and transverse planes defines a medial-lateral axis. The superior-inferior or cephalad-caudal axis, the anterior-posterior axis, and the medial-lateral axis are mutually perpendicular. [00153] Anterior means toward the front of a body. Posterior means toward the back of a body. Superior or cephalad means toward the head. Inferior or caudal means toward the feet or tail. Medial means toward the midline of a body, particularly toward a plane of bilateral symmetry of the body. Lateral means away from the midline of a body or away from a plane of bilateral symmetry of the body. Axial means toward a central axis of a body. Abaxial means away from a central axis of a body. Ipsilateral means on the same side of the body. Contralateral means on the opposite side of the body. Proximal means toward the trunk of the body. Proximal may also mean toward a user or operator. Distal means away from the trunk. Distal may also mean away from a user or operator. Dorsal means toward the top of the foot. Plantar means toward the sole of the foot. Varus means deviation of the distal part of the leg below the knee inward, resulting in a bowlegged appearance. Valgus means deviation of the distal part of the leg below the knee outward, resulting in a knock-kneed appearance.
[00154] As defined herein, the terms “arthroplasty prosthesis” and “arthroplasty sy stem” (and their analogs) encompasses any prosthesis or prosthesis system comprising a bone-facing side that can be implanted within, adjacent, or near a bone of a patient or an animal. Thus, the terms “arthroplasty prosthesis” and “arthroplasty system” can also include prostheses or prostheses systems that may or may not be utilized to repair a diseased joint of a patient or an animal.
[00155] As defined herein, the term “bone anchoring component” (and its analogs) encompasses any prosthesis that comprises at least one bone-engaging surface (or at least one bone cement engaging surface, or at least one bone augment material engaging surface, etc.), or that is coupled to or supports (either directly or indirectly) another component of the prosthesis that comprises the at least one boneengaging surface (or the at least one bone cement engaging surface, or the at least one bone augment material engaging surface, etc.) that is implantable within, adjacent, or near a bone of a patient or an animal. Accordingly, the term the term “bone anchoring component” can include any a stem (e.g., short stems, long stems, intermediate stems, etc.), intramedullary rod, keel, sleeve, adapter, augment, etc., that has any size, shape, feature, morphology, etc., that is described or contemplated herein, as well as any a stem (short stems, long stems, etc.), intramedullary rod, keel, sleeve, adapter, augment, etc., that has any size, shape, feature, morphology, etc., that is not described or contemplated herein.
[00156] Although the arthroplasty prostheses and systems described herein are disclosed in the context of knee arthroplasty prostheses and systems, it will be readily understood by those of skill in the art that the inventive concepts described and contemplated herein may be applied to any prosthesis or prosthesis system for any bone or joint of a patient or an animal, including, but not limited to, bones/joints of the foot, ankle, knee, hip, hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder, sacral, spine, neck, etc., without departing from the spirit or scope of the present disclosure.
[00157] It will also be understood that any component or feature of any arthroplasty system described or contemplated herein may be combined with any other component or feature that is described or contemplated herein to create any number of different arthroplasty system embodiments.
[00158] It will also be understood that any component or feature of any arthroplasty system described or contemplated herein may be combined with any other component or feature that is described or contemplated herein to create any number of different surgical kits. Each of these surgical kits may also include (or not include) any number of supporting surgical instruments or general parts (e.g., bone screws, fasteners, K-wires, etc.).
[00159] Moreover, it will also be understood that any method step (or component/feature of any method step) that is described or contemplated herein may be combined with any other method step (or component/feature of any method step) that is described or contemplated herein in any order, and/or in any combination, to create any number of different method embodiments for implanting any number of different arthroplasty system embodiments that are described or contemplated herein.

[00170] As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments the tibial base plate 100 may include a prosthesis attachment feature 10 or first adjustable attachment feature on the bone-facing side 2 of the tibial base plate 100.
[00171] In some embodiments, the prosthesis attachment feature 10 may be formed in/on the bonefacing side 2 of the tibial base plate 100. The prosthesis attachment feature 10 may include a rotary recess 15 having a recess surface 11, a recess sidewall 12, a recess fastener hole 13, and a recess diameter 14. The rotary recess 15 may also be referred to herein as a prosthesis recess, a component recess, a primary recess, or a revision recess. However, In some embodiments, the prosthesis attachment feature 10 of the tibial base plate 100 may include a rotary plate, as will be discussed in more detail below.
[00172] Continuing with FIGS. 1-5D, the keel 200 may also be referred to herein as a bone anchoring component, a primary bone anchoring component, or a revision bone anchoring component. [00173] In some embodiments, the keel 200 may generally include a first keel web 201, a second keel web 202, a central keel post 203, a keel bore 244, a keel bore thread 205, and one or more keel ribs 210 or crenellations formed in the bone engagement surface 4 of the keel 200.
[00174] In some embodiments, the keel 200 may also include at least one second anti-rotation feature 62 and a component attachment feature 20 that may be coupled to, or formed in/on, the proximal end of the keel 200.
[00175] In some embodiments, the at least one second anti-rotation feature 62 may be tapered and received within the at least one first anti-rotation feature 61 formed in the tibial base plate 100 to form a tapered connection that may prevent relative rotation of the keel 200 and the tibial base plate 100, as will be discussed below in more detail.
[00176] The component attachment feature 20 may also be referred to herein as a second adjustable attachment feature, a primary attachment feature, or a revision attachment feature.

[00217] In some embodiments, the rotary plate 25 may include the translation member 30 coupled to the rotary plate 25, and the bone anchoring component (e.g., the stem adapter 300 and/or the stem 400 in this embodiment) may comprise the translation coupler 40 configured to movably couple with the translation member 30 to enable the bone anchoring component to translate along the translation member 30 in a first direction with respect to the rotary plate 25, and translate along the translation member 30 in a second direction, opposite the first direction, with respect to the rotary plate 25. In these embodiments, the first adjustable attachment feature or prosthesis attachment feature 10 may also comprise the rotary recess 15 formed in the bonc-facing side of the arthroplasty prosthesis, and the second adjustable attachment feature or component attachment feature 20 may comprise the rotary plate 25 which may be coupled to the bone anchoring component (e.g., the stem adapter 300 and/or the stem 400, via the translation member 30) and configured to mate with the rotary recess 15 to also rotatably couple the bone anchoring component to the bone-facing side of the arthroplasty prosthesis.
[00218] In this manner, the bone anchoring component (e.g., the stem adapter 300 and/or the stem 400) may both rotatably and/or translatably mate with the bone-facing side 2 of the tibial base plate 100. This arrangement allows the stem adapter 300 and/or the stem 400 to be positionally adjusted with respect to the bone-facing side 2 of the tibial base plate 100 along an infinite number of different rotational and/or translational positions (e.g., a rotational position along 360 degrees or rotation and/or a translational position along the length of the translation member 30) in order to achieve an exact desired position of the bone anchoring component with respect to the bone-facing side of the arthroplasty prosthesis. [00219] Once a desired position of the bone anchoring component with respect to the bone-facing side of the arthroplasty prosthesis has been achieved, this desired position may be locked into place by tightening the locking fastener 50, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13. For example, as the locking fastener 50 is tightened, the distal end of the locking fastener 50 may press against the translation coupler lock surface 46 and push the first and second translation coupler arms of the translation coupler 40 down against the first and second translation member arms of the translation member 30. This will frictionally lock the stem adapter 300 against the translation member 30 and prevent the stem adapter 300 from translating along the translation member 30. Moreover, tightening the locking fastener 50 will also tighten the rotary plate 25 against the rotary recess 15 formed in the tibial base plate 100 to prevent the stem adapter 300 (and/or the stem 400) from rotating with respect to the bone-facing side 2 of the tibial base plate 100.
[00220] In some embodiments, the locking fastener 50 may be loosened to allow the stem 400 to rotatably and/or translatably move with respect to the bone-facing side 2 of the tibial base plate 100. In this state, the stem 400 may then be inserted into a prepared bone tunnel or resected bone to engage a bone engagement surface 4 of the stem 400 with a resected surface of the bone (e.g., a surface of a bone tunnel formed in the bone to receive the stem 400, which may be a little smaller in diameter than a diameter of the stem 400 to assure a good press-fit). Pushing the stem 400 further into tire bone tunnel may result in the transmission of at least one force between the resected surface of the bone and the bone engagement surface 4 of the stem 400 that may cause the stem 400 to movably self-align or selflocate with respect to the bone-facing side 2 of the tibial base plate 100, as the stem is pushed into the bone tunnel. The operator may also grasp the tibial base plate 100 and manually move it with respect to the stem 400 that is within the bone tunnel to further adjust a position of the tibial base plate 100 with respect to the bone-facing side 2 of the tibial base plate 100 (if desired). Once a desired position of the bone anchoring component with respect to the bone-facing side of the arthroplasty prosthesis has been achieved, this desired position may be locked into place by tightening the locking fastener 50, as previously discussed. In this manner, the self-adjusting and/or adjustable arthroplasty systems of the present disclosure may eliminate the need for trial instruments and/or eliminate the need to perform one or more trial procedures in order to select a prosthesis with a “closest fit” or a “closest discrete shape” from among a number of different prostheses in a kit having many different discrete sizes and shapes (e.g., each discrete prosthesis may include a different discrete rotational position, shape, or morphology, and/or a different discrete offset position, shape, or morphology).
[00221] In other embodiments, the structures of the second adjustable attachment feature or component attachment feature 20 and the first adjustable attachment feature or prosthesis attachment feature 10 may be reversed, such that the first adjustable attachment feature comprises the translation coupler 40 on the bone-facing side of the arthroplasty prosthesis, and the second adjustable attachment feature comprises the translation member 30 configured to movably couple with the translation coupler 40 and enable the bone anchoring component to translate along the translation coupler 40 in a first direction with respect to the bone-facing side of the arthroplasty prosthesis, and translate along the translation coupler in a second direction, opposite the first direction, with respect to the bone-facing side of tire arthroplasty prosthesis.

The prosthesis attachment feature may be configured to removably couple the revision bone anchoring component to the bone-facing side of the knee arthroplasty prosthesis by mating with the revision attachment feature.
