  • Orthopaedic prosthesis having support structure
    Patent number: 11963877
    Abstract: A femoral orthopaedic prosthesis includes a metallic core extending from a proximal end to a distal tip. The metallic core includes a neck that is positioned at the proximal end and is configured to receive a prosthetic femoral ball. An elongated stem extends distally from the neck to the distal tip. The stem includes a proximal section extending distally from the neck, and a distal section that extends proximally from the distal tip. The elongated stem also includes a pair of spaced-apart beams that connect the proximal section to the distal section. An aperture is defined in the stem between the pair of spaced apart beams.

  • THREE-DIMENSIONAL POROUS STRUCTURES FOR BONE INGROWTH AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING
    Publication number: 20220323225
    Abstract: An orthopaedic prosthetic component is provided. The orthopaedic prosthetic component comprises a porous three-dimensional structure shaped to be implanted in a patient's body. The porous three-dimensional structure comprises a plurality of unit cells. At least one unit cell comprises a first geometric structure having a first geometry and comprising a plurality of first struts, and a second geometric structure having a second geometry and comprising a plurality of second struts connected to a number of the plurality of first struts to form the second geometric structure.
