Patent number: 8926621Abstract: A surgical instrument for acetabular cup implantation includes an acetabular cup, a shell body and a drive shaft. The drive shaft includes a drive rod and a handle bar. The handle bar engages the pivot for angular displacement having forward position and backward position. In the forward position the drive rod rotates the acetabular cup forward, and in the backward position the drive rod shifts backward resulting in the acetabular cup engaged the extension portion. Accordingly, the operator rotates the handle bar to control the acetabular cup inserting into the position of acetabulum. The rotation of the handle bar results in the gripping or releasing of the acetabular cup or insert from the invention. Thus the invention provides a clear and ergonomic instrument for medical personnel concerning the operation of acetabular cup implantation.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2012Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: United Orthopedic CorporationInventor: Chih Ming Liang

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.
