Patent number: 10238403Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for performing total hip arthroplasty with patient-specific guides. Pre-operative images of a pelvic region of a patient are taken in order to predefine the structure of the guides and corresponding implants. From the obtained image data an insertional vector for implanting an acetabular implant or component into an acetabulum of the patient is determined, wherein the insertional vector is coaxial with a polar axis of the acetabular component. Also from the obtained image data, a superior surface of the guides and implants can be shaped to match the acetabulum of the patient. A nub portion extending outwardly from the superior surface of the guides and implants is shaped to substantially match the shape of a fovea of the acetabulum. A guide portion of the guides forming a slot has a longitudinal axis coaxial with the determined insertional vector of a corresponding acetabular component.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2018Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: Howmedica Osteonics Corp.Inventors: James V.

Patent number: 8983807Abstract: A method of designing a group of femoral implants from three-dimensional images of femurs from a patient population greater than 100. A boundary between cortical and cancellous bone is defined in each of the images. A longitudinal axis of the femur is defined centered within the boundary. The width of the boundary is measured in a direction perpendicular to the axis at multiple cross-sections along the longitudinal axis spaced less than 20 mm. At least five (5) different size implants for implantation in a noncortical bone area of the femur are designed based on the measured widths. At least one area of the proximal femoral component boundary is designed where the implant outer surface is sized to be within 2 mm of the cortical bone. The proximal dimensions of the at least five implants are sized to provide the fit within 2 mm in 95% of the femurs from the population.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2012Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: Howmedica Osteonics Corp.Inventors: Thies Wuestemann, Adam Bastian
