  • Tibial trials with sliding spacers and method
    Patent number: 11304826
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a knee arthroplasty trialing system and method with a femoral component and a tibial trial that has one or more spacers and one or more articular trials. Some embodiments include spacers and articular trials that may be moved in and out of the joint space without significantly distracting the femoral component away from the tibial trial. Some spacers and trials are configured to be inserted and removed from a joint space substantially along an anterior-posterior axis.

  • Anterior and posterior referencing sizing guides and cutting blocks and methods
    Patent number: 10195055
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include instruments and methods for preparing a femur to receive a femoral component of a knee arthroplasty system, with some embodiments configured to enable anterior referencing techniques, posterior referencing techniques, and to facilitate intraoperative switching between anterior and posterior referencing techniques. Other embodiments of the invention include cutting blocks and methods for preparing a femur to receive a knee arthroplasty system femoral component, with some embodiments including cutting blocks that can be used in both an anterior referencing technique and a posterior referencing technique, thereby reducing the number of cutting blocks required to provide an instrument set capable of implanting all available sizes of femoral components with both anterior and posterior referencing techniques.
