  • Patent number: 10610367
    Abstract: Systems, kits and methods for long bone arthroplasty that include arrays of humeral head prosthesis components, each having on a first side a bone articulation surface that has an overall generally hemi elliptical convex shape defined by a major axis and a minor axis, the bone articulation surface having an apex and a base that each has an non-circular elliptical cross sectional shape, the prosthesis components having on an opposite side, adjacent the base, a bone contact surface. The humeral head prosthesis components in the arrays vary from having a base with a more circular cross sectional shape to a more elongated elliptical cross sectional shape with increasing size.

  • Patent number: 10433969
    Abstract: A system for long bone arthroplasty includes humeral head prosthesis components, and an array of humeral head prosthesis components, each humeral head prosthesis component in the array having a convex articulation surface that is hemi-elliptical and defined by a major axis, a minor axis, an apex, and a base having an elliptical cross sectional shape defined by a major diameter along the major axis and a minor diameter along the minor axis, wherein the array of elliptical humeral head prosthesis components provides for suitable and sufficient anatomical fit within a variation of up to and not more than 3 mm in at least 96% of a patient population, and up to 99% of a patient population.

  • Patent number: 9044327
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20100152858
    Abstract: 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.
