Patent number: 11918485Abstract: Piezoelectric osteotomy devices and corresponding systems and methods for removing an acetabular cup or shell from a patient's acetabulum are disclosed. In one embodiment, the piezoelectric osteotomy device includes a piezoelectric element to actuate a cutting tip on an armature. In some such embodiments, the cutting tip may be extended and/or retracted to facilitate cutting of bone around an acetabular cup. The armature may include a fluid output port located proximate the cutting tip to mitigate heat generated by the cutting tip. In one embodiment, the piezoelectric osteotomy device is arranged and configured to provide constant current adjustment.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignees: SMITH & NEPHEW, INC., SMITH & NEPHEW ORTHOPAEDICS AG, SMITH & NEPHEW ASIA PACIFIC PTE.

Patent number: 11517441Abstract: Prostheses, acetabular apparatuses, and methods of use are disclosed. In some embodiments, an acetabular apparatus includes an acetabular cup, a pre-assembled liner and flange construct, and a dual mobility bearing (e.g., a dual articulating femoral head component and insert). In one embodiment, the pre-assembled liner and flange construct may be coupled together by a band coupled to the flanges, the band being arranged and configured to be pressed onto an outer surface of a liner. The pre-assembled liner and flange construct being arranged and configured to accept the dual mobility bearing so that it is freely rotatable relative thereto during use.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2020Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignees: Smith & Nephew, Inc., Smith & Nephew Asia Pacific Pte.

Publication number: 20220273449Abstract: An acetabular cage or device is disclosed. In one embodiment, the acetabular cage includes a cup portion configured for implantation in an acetabulum and a flange extending from the cup portion. The flange including a first, bone contacting surface configured to face bony tissue surrounding the acetabulum when the cup portion is implanted into the acetabulum and a second, top surface opposite the first surface. The flange includes a flexible portion and a fixation portion, the fixation portion including one or more fixation features configured to facilitate fixation of the flange to the bony tissue surrounding the acetabulum. The flexible portion is arranged and configured to enable the flange, and hence the fixation portion, to move relative to the cup portion to facilitate placement of the flange relative to the bony tissue.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2022Publication date: September 1, 2022Applicants: Smith & Nephew, Inc., Smith & Nephew Orthopaedics AG, Smith & Nephew Asia Pacific Pte.

Publication number: 20220249249Abstract: Systems, methods and devices for providing orthopedic implant augments are provided which have fastener locking mechanisms. The augments include a surface for mating with an implant component and a surface for interfacing with a patient's bone. The fastener locking mechanisms are aligned such that the augment may be locked in a variety of orientations while maintaining close contact with both an implant and a patient's bone. The alignment of the locking mechanisms provides variability and adjustability to the augment to address a variety of bone anatomies and requirements.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2022Publication date: August 11, 2022Applicant: Smith & Nephew, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey J. Shea, Nathaniel M. Quinn, Daniel R. Goldberg
