Patent number: 8066779Abstract: A modular hip joint implant and associated method. The modular hip implant includes a femoral stem having a proximal surface defining a dovetail groove having first and second female wings, and a neck component having a distal surface defining a semi-dovetail projection engaging the dovetail groove. The projection includes a single male wing mating with the first femoral wing.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2009Date of Patent: November 29, 2011Assignee: Biomet Manufacturing Corp.Inventors: Phillip M. Gibbs, Monty J. Lackey

Patent number: 7780739Abstract: An acetabular prosthesis and method for its use in an orthopedic surgery is disclosed. The acetabular prosthesis forms a metal bearing, which articulates with a femoral head. The acetabular prosthesis is also configured so as to accept a polymer constraining ring. Should a revision surgery be necessary, the acetabular prosthesis may accept a polymer bearing liner over the metal bearing. The polymer bearing liner then articulates with the femoral head.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2004Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignee: Biomet Manufacturing Corp.Inventors: Ryan C. Lakin, Troy W. Hershberger, Michael S. Schular, William J. Slone, Kim S. Parcher, Phillip M. Gibbs, Aaron P. Smith

Patent number: 7713306Abstract: A trial system for an acetabular prosthesis is described. The acetabular prosthesis is generally for implantation in an acetabulum and surrounding pelvis. The acetabular prosthesis includes an acetabular cup having a substantially concave inner surface and a substantially convex outer surface. The described acetabular prosthesis is especially useful in revision hip implant procedures where significant bone tissue loss has occurred either in or around the acetabulum and/or the pelvis. A collection of trial shells are provided to trial a range of motion of the hip joint before implanting a prosthetic shell into the acetabular prosthesis.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2003Date of Patent: May 11, 2010Assignee: Biomet Manufacturing Corp.Inventor: Phillip M Gibbs

Patent number: 6458161Abstract: An acetabular prosthesis for implantation in an acetabulum and surrounding pelvis is described. The acetabular prosthesis includes an acetabular cup having a substantially concave inner surface and a substantially convex outer surface, wherein an area defining a groove is located on the outer surface of the acetabular cup. An optional spacer member, having a raised ridge formed on a surface thereof, slidably engages the groove. The spacer provides augmentation and load bearing support in cases where bone tissue loss has occurred in and around the acetabulum. A fastener, such as a surgical screw, is used to secure the acetabular cup, and the optional spacer, to the acetabulum. At least one attachment member is integrally formed with the acetabular cup for fastening to a surface of the pelvis, such as the ilium and/or the ischium. Another optional spacer member is provided for the attachment member to provide augmentation around the attachment points on the pelvis.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2001Date of Patent: October 1, 2002Assignee: Biomet, Inc.Inventors: Phillip M. Gibbs, Allen D. Boyd, Jr.
