Patent number: 9320605Abstract: Knee prostheses featuring components that more faithfully replicate the structure and function of the human knee joint in order to provide, among other benefits: greater flexion of the knee in a more natural way by promoting or at least accommodating internal tibial rotation in a controlled way, replication of the natural screw home mechanism, and controlled articulation of the tibia and femur respective to each other in a more natural way. In a preferred embodiment, such prostheses include an insert component disposed between a femoral component and a tibial component, the insert component preferably featuring among other things a reversely contoured posterolateral bearing surface that helps impart internal rotation to the tibia as the knee flexes.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2012Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignees: Smith & Nephew, Inc., The Trustees of the University of PennsylvaniaInventors: Jason K. Otto, Brian William McKinnon, Michael Dean Hughes, Michael D. Ries, Jan Victor, Johan Bellemans, Jonathan Garino, Timothy Wilton

Publication number: 20140188134Abstract: A robotic system for preparing a bone to receive a prosthetic device. The robotic system includes a controllable guide structure configured to guide cutting of the bone into a shape for receiving the prosthetic device, and a computer readable medium for storing data representative of the prosthetic device. The prosthetic device includes a body portion having an implantation surface configured to face the bone upon implantation and at least one feature that provides a constraint structure that will constrain the prosthetic device in the bone. The robotic system includes a control system for controlling the guide structure, and is configured to define at least one bone-cutting pattern for (i) removing a first portion of bone in a first area sufficient to seat the body portion and (ii) at least one of removing and maintaining a second portion of bone in a second area configured to interact with the constraint structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2014Publication date: July 3, 2014Applicant: MAKO Surgical Corp.Inventors: Scott David Nortman, Amit Mistry, Jason K.

Publication number: 20140019110Abstract: A method for preoperatively characterizing an individual patient's biomechanic function in preparation of implanting a prosthesis is provided. The method includes subjecting a patient to various activities, recording relative positions of anatomy during said various activities, measuring force environments responsive to said patient's anatomy and affected area during said various activities, characterizing the patient's biomechanic function from said relative positions and corresponding force environments, inputting the measured force environments, relative positions of knee anatomy, and patient's biomechanic function characterization into one or more computer simulation models, inputting a computer model of the prosthesis into said one or more computer simulation models, and manipulating the placement of the prosthesis in the computer simulation using said patient's biomechanic function characterization and said computer model of the prosthesis to approximate a preferred biomechanical fit of the prosthesis.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2013Publication date: January 16, 2014Applicant: SMITH & NEPHEW, INC.Inventors: Jason K.
