  • Patent number: 9056013
    Abstract: A set of femoral implants for a knee prosthesis includes at least two femoral implants having different dimensions from each other. Each femoral implant includes an outer face suitable for cooperating with one of a patellar implant and a patella of a patient, an inner face provided with an anchoring feature for anchoring to a bone of the patient, as well as a distal part and an anterior part each defined both on the outer face and the inner face. The set is characterized in that at least the distal parts of the femoral implants are substantially identical irrespective of the dimensions of the femoral implants.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20050055102
    Abstract: A tibial prosthetic assembly generally comprises a base (6) intended to be connected to a tibia and a shoe adapted to be fixedly mounted on the base. This shoe defines a prosthetic articulating surface intended to cooperate with a femoral element (2) and presenting an anterior spine (56) on either side of which are located two glenoidal cavities (54, 55) for receiving femoral condyles (14, 15). In order to form such an assembly, the surgeon has at his disposal a set comprising the base (6) and a plurality of shoes which are adapted to be assembled in respective inherent angular positions in each of which the longitudinal axis of the anterior spine (56) of each shoe forms a predetermined angle with the antero-posterior median axis of the base (6). Application to the domain of prostheses of the knee joint, particularly of humans.
