Patent number: 9044327Abstract: A structure improvement of orthopaedic implant for connecting a distal femur and a proximal tibia, and a stem was implanted into the proximal tibia, in which formed to allow inter-engagement between the stem of the tibia and the structure improvement of orthopaedic implant. The structure improvement of orthopaedic implant includes a tibial baseplate, a tibial insert, and a reinforcement. The tibial baseplate forms a recess having a bottom that has a central portion defining a through hole extending through the tibial baseplate. The tibial insert includes a support, a through region, and a projection, wherein an end of the tibial insert forming the projection corresponding to the recess of the tibial baseplate for press-fitting to the tibial baseplate. The reinforcement is inset in the tibial insert and includes a sleeve and a bolt. As such, the advantages of stable coupling includes force resistance, avoids insert loosening then extends prosthetic longevity.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2013Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: UNITED ORTHOPEDIC CORP.Inventors: Yu-Liang Liu, Cheng-Kuang Lu, Jiann-Jong Liau

Patent number: 8721729Abstract: A connecting device of joint prosthesis includes a stem means provided for being inserted into a medullary cavity of a bone, a receiving means provided for receiving a bone structure near the bone, an offset connecting means connected between the stem means and the receiving means, and an inserting member. The offset connecting means includes a first connecting component and a second connecting component. The inserting member inserts into an inserting bore of the first connecting component and an inserting recess of the second connecting component to make the first connecting component being fixed and positioned at the second connecting component, wherein there is an offset distance between the longitudinal central axis of the first connecting component and the longitudinal central axis of the second connecting component. Thereby the connecting device of joint prosthesis is adjustable for fitting individual patients with more effect in regard of the musculoskeletal mechanics.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2013Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Inventor: Cheng-Kuang Lu

Patent number: 8172906Abstract: An artificial joint fixation mechanism has a base for being attached to an artificial joint, a stem for guiding an artificial joint to engage with a human bone, and a sleeve. The base defines a conic shaft hole therethrough. At least a positioning section and at least a threaded section are extended adjacent an end of the shaft hole. The stem includes an engaging pole at an end thereof for jointing to an artificial joint. The sleeve is threaded for screwing to the threaded section and defines an inner cone hole therethrough. In use, the engaging pole of the stem implants into the shaft hole. The sleeve is screwed to the threaded section, and the inner cone hole reversely pressing against the guiding section. Thus the stem is pressed reliably.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2006Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: United Orthopedic CorporationInventors: Rong-Sen Yang, Chao-Chang A.

Publication number: 20100152858Abstract: A structure improvement of orthopaedic implant includes a tibial baseplate, a tibial insert, and a reinforcement. The tibial baseplate forms a recess having a bottom that has a central portion defining a through hole extending through the tibial baseplate. The through hole has a top circumference that defines a circumferential groove extending outward. The tibial insert has a bottom forming a projection corresponding to the recess of the tibial baseplate for press-fitting to the tibial baseplate. A support is formed on at a central portion of a top of the tibial insert and defines a bore that extends through the tibial insert. The tibial insert forms two curved surfaces on opposite sides of the support to support contact and rolling. The reinforcement is inset in the tibial insert and includes a sleeve and a bolt.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2009Publication date: June 17, 2010Applicant: UNITED ORTHOPEDIC CORP.Inventors: Cheng-Kuang Lu, Yu-Liang Liu, Jiann-Jong Liau

Publication number: 20070288020Abstract: A soft tissue fixation device for organs proximate shankbone includes a fixing body, a fixing plate, and a plurality of fixing components for attaching the fixing plate to the fixing body. The fixing body forms an arcuate bound portion on a side thereof. A plurality of engaging holes is defined in a surface of the bound portion. The fixing plate is arcuate and defines at least a positioning hole substantially in a center thereof for passing a suture through, and fixing holes respectively adjacent both sides thereof for corresponding to the engaging holes. The suture and ligament are positioned reliably with respect to the fixing body. The fixing plate is adjustable in height and orientation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2006Publication date: December 13, 2007Inventors: Rong-Sen Yang, Chao-Chang A.
