Patent number: 8801799Abstract: An implant is provided for replacing the proximal portion of a femur having a substantially intact natural femoral neck and a lateral side opposite the femoral neck, with a bore extending from the femoral neck through a lateral side of the femur. The implant comprises a sleeve having a flange for engaging a proximally facing resected surface of the neck surrounding the bore in the femur and having a bore with an inwardly tapered conical portion. A shaft member having a longitudinal axis, a distal end, and a proximal end is placed in the bore through the femur. The shaft member has an intermediate conically tapered male portion for coupling to the conically tapered bore of the sleeve and a proximal end having a conically tapered portion. A head member having a distal end and a proximal substantially-spherical portion and a tapered recess is configured for positioning in a natural or prosthetic hip socket.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2008Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Howmedica Osteonics Corp.Inventors: Theodore Crofford, Michael Santarella

Patent number: 7998147Abstract: A modular hip body/stem inserter comprises a stem inserter and a holder. A proximal body portion of an implant is loaded, or mounted, onto the holder. A distal stem portion of the implant is affixed onto the stem inserter. The modular hip body/stem inserter maintains the proximal body portion and distal stem portion a short distance apart. The stem inserter can be adjusted to control the version of the distal stem, while the holder can be independently adjusted to control the version of the proximal body. Once the version is adjusted to determine a final seating position, the stem inserter portion is removed and the holder is then used to impact the proximal body and distal stem together, thereby locking the implant components together through a taper locking mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2009Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Assignee: Howmedica Osteonics Corp.Inventors: Michael Santarella, Richard H.
