  • Publication number: 20170340450
    Abstract: The presented invention is a system for performing reverse ankle replacement in the setting of ankle joint osteoarthritis, and other degenerative conditions of the ankle joint including avascular necrosis. The presented tibial and talar components can be implanted in a cement-less or cemented fashion. The prosthesis of the presented invention consists of (1) a tibial component which includes a planar undersurface with porous texture applied to its upper, non-bearing surfaces, (2) a talar component which includes a bearing surface which is concave, (3) a polyethylene component which includes a bearing undersurface which is convex, and (4) multiple talar component embodiments with or without flanges and/or screw holes for accommodation of bone screws for additional fixation and for permitting sub-talar joint fusion.

  • Patent number: 9539098
    Abstract: A scalable modular hip resurfacing arthroplasty system includes (1) an alignment guide for precise guide pin insertion, (2) a modular cannulated cylindrical reamer assembly for accurate femoral head cylindrical reaming and central bone channel drilling, (3) a saw guide for an accurate femoral head osteotomy, (4) a soft tissue protector with a stepped design to shield and retract tissues, (5) a hip retractor that seats onto a prepared femur, (6) an outer hole drill guide aiding drilling of peripheral holes, and (7) a femoral resurfacing implant with a cap portion and central stem adapted for multiple modular attachments including plates. A method for preparing the proximal femur for hip resurfacing with novel stepped cylindrical femoral head osteotomy and central bone channel drilling, leaving an intact collar of cortical bone above the femoral head articular rim.
