Publication number: 20120226281Abstract: A method of milling a calcar region of the femur. The method includes using a miller assembly including a cutter and a frame. The frame has a longitudinal axis and a cutter mount for mounting the cutter at a first angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the frame. The cutter mount extends at the first angle from the longitudinal axis of the frame and receives a portion of the cutter and maintain the received cutter oriented at the first angle during rotation. The frame includes a handle that forms a portion of a drive joint for coupling the frame to a drill. The handle is coupled to the drill and the miller assembly is inserted into the femur such that the cutter is located in the calcar region. The drill is then operated, causing the cutter to rotate and mill bone in the calcar region.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2012Publication date: September 6, 2012Inventors: SAMUEL G. SACKETT, BRIAN P. JOHNSON, SAMUEL B. OWEN, LARRY G. MCCLEARY

Patent number: 8252002Abstract: A prosthetic trial for a joint prosthesis includes a stem having a proximal section and a distal section for implantation in a bone. A body includes a channel receiving at least the proximal section of the stem. A locking mechanism is at least partially disposed within the body. The locking mechanism is biased into a locking position in which the mechanism locks the stem within the first channel of the body. The locking mechanism is accessible outside said body to be pulled into a releasing position to unlock the stem from the body.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2009Date of Patent: August 28, 2012Assignee: DePuy Products, Inc.Inventors: Daniel N Huff, Larry G McCleary

Patent number: 8167882Abstract: A miller assembly for creating a cavity in a bone. The cavity has a cross section which has a generally triangular profile having a first side generally parallel with an axis of the bone and a second side forming an acute angle with the first side, and is contiguous with a pre-existing conical cavity in the bone. The miller assembly includes a cutter and a frame for carrying the cutter. The frame includes a connection portion having a longitudinal axis and a cutter mount for mounting the cutter at a first angle approximating the acute angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the connection portion. The cutter mount extends at the first angle from the longitudinal axis of the connection portion and is configured to receive a portion of the cutter and maintain the received cutter oriented at the first angle during rotation. The frame further includes a handle configured to form a portion of a drive joint for coupling the frame to a drill, the handle having a longitudinal axis.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2008Date of Patent: May 1, 2012Assignee: Depuy Products, Inc.Inventors: Samuel G. Sackett, Brian P. Johnson, Samuel B. Owen, Larry G. McCleary
