  • Publication number: 20250000659
    Abstract: A hinged orthopaedic prosthesis system includes a hinged femoral component, a housing assembly, and a tibial component. The hinged femoral component is configured to be coupled to the housing assembly such that the hinged femoral component is capable of rotation about a flexion-extension axis of rotation. The tibial component is configured to be coupled includes a tibial articular surface on which a femoral articular surface of the hinged femoral component articulates when rotated about the flexion-extension axis of rotation. Additionally, the femoral articular surface includes a curved surface section having a constant radius of curvature through a defined range of flexion of the hinged femoral component.

  • Patent number: 11426179
    Abstract: A method of assembling an orthopaedic surgical instrument may include selecting a surgical reamer for use in resecting a portion of a patient's bone. The method may also include aligning an outer sleeve of a stem trial component with a distal end of a shaft of the surgical reamer. The method may also include advancing the outer sleeve into engagement with the distal end of the reamer shaft. The method may also include advancing a central rod of the stem trial component along a passageway defined in the outer sleeve into engagement with the distal end of the reamer shaft. The method may also include threading the central rod into the distal end of the reamer shaft to couple the stem trial component to the surgical reamer for use in resecting the portion of the patient's bone.
