  • Publication number: 20200306050
    Abstract: There is provided a tibial component (100) comprising a tibial tray (102) having a superior side and an inferior side, and a support member (104) connected to the inferior side of the tibial tray, the support member having a stem portion (120), the stem portion including one or more fins (130) and a first arm (134) angled relative to a second arm (136). In one form, the fins have a curvature that extends away from the stem portion. In another form, the first arm defines an opening sized to receive an anchor wherein the anchor is configured to penetrate a portion of bone and the opening in the first arm. Optionally, the stem portion includes a first portion (1022) having a first cross sectional area and a second portion (1024) having a second cross sectional area wherein the first cross sectional area is larger than the second cross sectional area. The fins and arms can include rail protrusions (1186).

  • Publication number: 20050126186
    Abstract: A piston includes a circumferential groove having a dynamic split seal ring having a flat axially facing surface, a static seal ring having a flat axially facing surface abutting the flat surface of the dynamic seal ring, and a spring mounted within the groove. The spring exerts an axial force on the static seal ring that serves to distribute the axial load with a static seal over the dynamic split seal, thereby preventing shuttling of the split seal within the groove and restricting the leak path of the seal. Preferably, the static seal ring is a polymer and can be an L-ring, a load ring with a flange that abuts the piston body, or flanged designs. In addition, a load ring can be fitted between the L-ring and the spring. The split seal ring has at least one radial spring mounted within the seal ring to create a radial force on the split seal ring. The piston can also include a sleeve that mounts to the piston body, the sleeve forming a wall of the groove.
