Patent number: 8419799Abstract: An assembly tool (1) for assembly of a first component (2) of a prosthesis (4) to a second component (6) of the prosthesis (4) for use in joint arthroplasty is provided. The tool (1) includes a first member (8) operably associated with the first component (2). The first member (8) defines a first member longitudinal axis (10) of the first member (8). The tool also includes a second member (12) operably associated with the second component (6). The second member (12) defines a second member longitudinal axis (14) of the second member (12). The second member (12) is adapted to provide relative motion of the second member (12) with respect to the first member (8) when the second member (12) is rotated relative to the first member (8) about the second member longitudinal axis (14).Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2007Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: DePuy Products, Inc.Inventors: Kimberly Ann Dwyer, David Wayne Daniels, Brad Alan Parker

Patent number: 7942879Abstract: A milling system is disclosed for creating a cavity in a bone. The cavity has a cross section which has a generally triangular profile having a first side generally parallel with an axis of the bone and a second side forming an acute angle with the first side. The cavity is contiguous with a pre-existing conical cavity in the bone. The system comprises a drive shaft, a frame for carrying a cutter and a cutter for cutting the cavity. The drive shaft has a proximal end configured for coupling to a drive means and a distal end configured to form a portion of a drive joint for coupling the drive shaft to a cutter. The frame includes a shaft and a cutter mount for mounting a cutter at a first angle approximating the acute angle with respect to the shaft. The mount includes a bracket extending laterally from the shaft to a bearing configured to receive a portion of a cutter and maintain the received cutter oriented at the first angle during rotation.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2010Date of Patent: May 17, 2011Assignee: DePuy Products, Inc.Inventors: Michael J. Christie, David K. DeBoer, Michael C. Jones, Steven Wayne Smith, Brad Alan Parker, Charles W. Jaggers, Derek A. Shrack, James Ray Rogers

The drive shaft has a proximal end and a distal end forming a portion of a drive joint for coupling the drive shaft to a cutter. The frame includes a frame shaft and a cutter mount, mounting a cutter at a first angle. The mount includes a bearing bracket extending laterally from the frame shaft to a bearing receiving a portion of a cutter and maintains the received cutter oriented at the first angle during rotation. The cutter has a head forming a portion of drive joint for coupling the cutter to a drive shaft. The cutter is received in the mount at the first angle and the drive shaft forms a second angle with the longitudinal axis less than the first angle.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2003Date of Patent: August 31, 2010Assignee: DePuy Products, Inc.Inventors: Michael J Christie, David K.
