Patent number: 8292967Abstract: A prosthesis includes an implant defining an attachment surface thereon. A porous insert is selectively coupled to the implant. The porous insert is adapted to be received at the attachment surface of the implant in a retained position. The porous insert is adapted to facilitate tissue ingrowth. In one embodiment the implant comprises a femoral component. The femoral component comprises an inner condylar portion having a first and second lateral sidewalls, an anterior wall and a posterior wall defining a box. The box defines the attachment surface. In other embodiments, the implant comprises a hip stem and an acetabular shell.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2005Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: Biomet Manufacturing Corp.Inventors: David R Brown, Brian May, Jennifer Woodell-May, Jacy C Hoeppner, Elizabeth Schlueter, Mukesh Kumar, John R White, Russell Parrott
