Abstract: A mobile tibial assembly includes a tibial tray, a tibial insert, and a platform separate from the tibial tray and the tibial insert. The platform is configured to be coupled to the tibial insert and the tibial tray. The tibial insert is movable relative to the platform and the platform is movable relative to the tibial tray.

Abstract: A knee prosthesis system for total knee replacement procedures includes a plurality of distinctly-sized femoral components, a plurality of distinctly-sized fixed tibial components, a plurality of distinctly-sized mobile tibial components, a plurality of fixed inserts, and a plurality of mobile inserts. Each of the mobile inserts is sized and shaped such that each may be optimally matched to one of the femoral components and may be used with any one of the mobile tibial components. Each of the fixed inserts is sized and shaped such that each may be optimally matched to one of the femoral components and may be used with any one of the fixed tibial components.

Abstract: A prosthetic knee system includes a tibial tray, a non-rotating tibial insert, and a rotating tibial insert. The non-rotating tibial insert and the rotating tibial insert are selectively couplable to the tibial tray such that a fixed or a mobile orthopaedic prosthesis may be configured. In some embodiments, the tibial tray may be a fixed or mobile tibial tray. Additionally, in some embodiments, the prosthetic knee system may include a femoral component.

Abstract: A combination cutting and spacer guide has a cutting block portion and a guide arm portion. The cutting block portion has a cutting guide slot and holes to receive pins or drills for mounting the combination cutting and spacer guide to the femur. The cutting guide portion also has a cutting guide slot defining the distal femoral resection plane. The guide arm portion has a planar femoral and tibial surfaces and an elongate slot between the surfaces. A shim has a shim arm with contact surfaces for contacting part of the guide arm and part of one of the bones of the knee and a mounting member connected to the shim arm. The shim arm mounting member is receivable in the elongate slot of the guide arm to mount the shim to the guide arm to adjust the level of the femoral resection plane.

Abstract: A bone plate is disclosed herein. The bone plate generally comprises a bone facing surface, an outward facing surface opposite the bone facing surface, and at least one hole extending through the bone plate from the outward facing surface to the bone facing surface. An arced compression surface is provided within the at least one hole and a cam path is formed on the arced compression surface. The cam path comprises a cam groove that forms an indentation in the arced compression surface. The arced compression surface generally extends 360° or less within the at least one hole. Similarly, the cam path generally extends one revolution or less around the hole upon the arced compression surface. Depending on the type of screw used in association with the bone plate, the bone plate to be used as either a compression plate or a locking plate.

Abstract: A knee replacement system provides a knee implant that may be used to more accurately replicate the diameter of a natural knee. In one embodiment, a patellofemoral component is connected to the posterior portion of a condylar component by screws that pass through the femur allowing the patellofemoral component and the condylar component to be torqued against opposing sides of the femur. Two additional screws are used to connect the patellofemoral component to an anterior portion of the condylar component. A gap may be left between the patellofemoral component and the anterior portion of the condylar component if needed to provide precise replication of the diameter of the natural knee from the patellofemoral component to the condylar component.
