Abstract: An orthopaedic prosthetic assembly includes a femoral component configured to be attached to a distal end of a patient's femur. A tibial tray is configured to be attached to a proximal end of a patient's tibia. A tibial insert is provided that includes a spine extending proximally from a body, and a pin hole extending through the spine. A bushing is sized and shaped to be positioned in the pin hole of the spine. A hinge pin is sized and shaped to be positioned in the bushing to couple the tibial insert to the femoral component. The bushing includes a retaining tab configured to engage an inner wall of the pin hole to secure the bushing to the spine.

Abstract: A surgical instrument for implanting an acetabular prosthetic component is disclosed, wherein the surgical instrument includes a modular head. A plurality of locking pins extends from the modular head. A locking arm extends from the modular head and is movable between an open position and a closed position. A surgical handle extends from the modular head. The modular head is removably coupled to the surgical handle. The surgical handle engages a first locking pin to lock the modular head to the surgical handle. A linkage assembly engages a second locking pin to actuate the locking arm.

Abstract: An instrument for positioning a hollow cup component of an orthopaedic joint prosthesis. The instrument includes an insertion end section, a handle end section opposite the insertion end section, and a shaft coupling the insertion end section to the handle end section. The insertion end section includes a cam wheel and a plurality of expanding pieces coupled to the cam wheel such that when the cam wheel is rotated in one direction, the expanding pieces expand out in a radial direction and frictionally engage an inner surface of the hollow cup component.

Abstract: An instrument for positioning a hollow cup component of an orthopaedic joint prosthesis. The instrument includes a longitudinal member having a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The instrument further includes a resilient cup engaging member coupled to the first end. The resilient cup engaging member has a convex outer surface adapted to engage an interior of the hollow cup component. The entire outer convex surface is manufactured of a resilient material. An actuator in fluid communication with the resilient cup engaging member is also included. When the actuator is actuated, the suction force between the resilient cup engaging member and the hollow cup increases.
