Publication number: 20230013210Abstract: Systems that may be used for performing a robotic revision knee arthroplasty are disclosed. Such systems can optionally include a processor that can: intraoperatively receive a plurality of position data obtained by a robotic surgical device after a primary implant has been removed from a bone, the plurality of position data correspond to a plurality of landmarks of the bone of a patient, the plurality of landmarks include a position of an intramedullary canal of the bone; select from a database having a plurality of mean models of a corresponding bone a mean model that comprises a best match based upon the plurality of landmarks of the bone; generate an updated model by altering the mean model to fit an anatomy of the bone of the patient based upon the plurality of landmarks; and output to a user interface the updated model for use during the robotic revision knee arthroplasty.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Inventors: Yann Facchinello, Vincent Pelletier, Adam H. Sanford, Catherine Leveille, Adam D. Henderson

Patent number: 11324598Abstract: Methods are disclosed for designing a tibial implant to minimize cortical impingement of a keel or other fixation structure when the tibial implant is implanted in the tibia bone. The design of the keel or other fixation structure on the tibial baseplate can be based on determining a common area between defined cancellous regions of at least two tibia bones. Methods are disclosed for designing a femoral component having a stem extension such that the stem can be sufficiently placed in the diaphysis of the femur when the femoral component is implanted. The method includes determining a canal axis in a femur that creates adequate engagement between a reamer and the diaphysis of the femur.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2020Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: Zimmer, Inc.Inventors: Yifei Dai, Christine Schaerer, Dwight T. Todd, Jeffrey E. Bischoff, Adam D. Henderson

Patent number: 10322004Abstract: A prosthetic femoral component (10) for an orthopaedic prosthesis has a canted patellar groove adapted for optimal patella/component interaction, with the component configured to have a medial or lateral cant depending upon the method of implantation. The femoral component defines a distal “component transverse plane,” which is a plane tangent to the distal-most points of the component condyles (12, 14). In a “mechanical” implantation, the component transverse plane is substantially normal to the mechanical femoral axis of the femur after the component has been implanted. Where the femoral component is configured to be “mechanically oriented” in this manner, the component has a medially canted patellar groove. On the other hand, an “anatomic” implantation is one in which, after the component has been implanted, the component transverse plane is substantially parallel to an “anatomic” transverse plane.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2017Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: ZIMMER GMBHInventors: Cosimo Donno, Adam D.
