Patent number: 9149287Abstract: The present disclosure provides a femoral cut guide for preparing a distal femur to receive a prosthetic femoral component of a knee implant. The prosthetic femoral component includes a central box. The femoral cut guide replicates the size and shape of the prosthetic femoral component, such that the femoral cut guide may serve as a trial or provisional component used to reduce and test the prepared knee joint before implanting the final prosthetic femoral component. The femoral cut guide includes a detachable box cut guide for preparing the distal femur to receive the central box of the prosthetic femoral component.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2015Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: Zimmer, Inc.Inventors: Aaron M Bailey, Kevin S. Cook, Christopher M. Byrd, Prashanth Hegde

Patent number: 7744600Abstract: An apparatus is provided for guiding a cutter to cut a bone to receive a knee prosthesis and methods for its use. In one aspect of the invention a relative angle adjustment mechanism is provided to adjust the relative angle between first and second cut guides. In another aspect of the invention, a cut guide is hinged to a mounting base such that it is rotatable about the hinge between a first position in which the cut guide is adjacent to the bone and a second position in which the cut guide is spaced from the bone. In another aspect of the invention, a mounting base includes an initial fixation mechanism and a secondary fixation mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2006Date of Patent: June 29, 2010Assignee: Zimmer Technology, Inc.Inventors: Chetan Rangaiah, Prashanth Hegde, Maleata Y.
