Abstract: A liner adapted for insertion into an acetabular shell for use in hip arthroplasty. The liner includes a concave inner surface adapted to engage a femoral head. The liner also includes an outer surface adapted to engage the acetabular shell and a rim that extends between the inner surface and the outer surface. The outer surface includes a locking section extending from the rim, a composite-curved section extending from the locking section at a first transition point, and a dome section extending from the composite-curved section, wherein at the first transition point, the composite-curved section is tangential to the locking section.

Abstract: An orthopaedic knee prosthesis includes a tibial bearing and a femoral component configured to articulate with the tibial bearing. The femoral component includes a condyle surface curved in the sagittal plane. The radius of curvature of the condyle surface decreases gradually between early-flexion and mid-flexion. Additionally, in some embodiments, the radius of curvature may be increased during mid-flexion.

Abstract: An orthopaedic knee prosthesis includes a tibial bearing and a femoral component configured to articulate with the tibial bearing. The femoral component includes a posterior cam configured to contact a spine of the tibial bearing and a condyle surface curved in the sagittal plane. The radius of curvature of the condyle surface decreases gradually between early-flexion and mid-flexion. Additionally, in some embodiments, the radius of curvature of the condyle surface may be increased during mid-flexion.

Abstract: An orthopaedic knee prosthesis includes a femoral component having a condyle surface. The condyle surface is defined by one or more radii of curvatures, which are controlled to reduce or delay the onset of anterior translation of the femoral component relative to a tibial bearing.

Abstract: A fluid pressure sensor particularly useful for measuring pressure up to approximately 2000 psi has a hexport (12, 112, 212, 312) formed with a stop surface (26, 326) in a bottom wall (18) circumscribing a fluid pressure inlet (16). A pressure sensing module (22) is received on the stop surface and a distal end (40) of a wall (20, 120, 320) of the hexport is crimped to lock the pressure sensing module onto the stop surface with the stop surface limiting the amount of compression of an O-ring (30) disposed contiguous to and inboard of the stop surface. In one embodiment the crimp is placed directly on a metal ring (38) attached to a plastic connector (32) which in turn transfers the crimping force to the pressure sensing module. In other embodiments (FIGS. 2, 3) the crimp is placed directly in the pressure sensing module to form a subassembly.
