Patent number: 10064733Abstract: A knee prosthesis system constructed in accordance to one example of the present disclosure can include a femoral component, a tibial component, a first femoral component insert, a second femoral component insert, a first tibial bearing, and a second tibial bearing. The knee prosthesis system may be configured in one of a non-hinged configuration and a second hinged configuration. In the first non-hinged configuration, the first femoral component insert is positioned relative to the femoral component and the first tibial bearing is positioned onto the tibial component. In the second hinged configuration, the second femoral component insert is positioned relative to the femoral component and the second tibial bearing is positioned onto the tibial component.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2017Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: Biomet Manufacturing, LLCInventors: Robert Metzger, Andrew L. Pierce, David R. Brown, Brian M. May, Joshua R. Porter, Larabeth G. Ryan

Patent number: 8936648Abstract: A prosthesis for replacing a knee joint between a femur and a tibia can include a femoral component, a tibial component, a bearing and a yoke assembly. The yoke assembly can have a yoke disposed between the bearing and the femoral component and an axle having an axle axis. The axle can hingedly couple the yoke with the femoral component. Rotation of the femoral component about a rotation axis that is perpendicular to the axle axis causes concurrent rotation of the yoke about the rotation axis.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2013Date of Patent: January 20, 2015Assignee: Biomet Manufacturing, LLCInventors: Curt Collard, Michael John Collins, Robert Metzger, Brian M. May, Larabeth G. Ryan
