Publication number: 20080208203Abstract: A bone measurement device is used to measure the adequacy of the distance between a cavity in the head and neck of a femur and the outer surface of the neck of the proximal femur. A coupling element is fixedly attached to an outer surface of a femoral head. An arm extends from the coupling element and a bone measurement device having an adjustable bone contacting element thereon is coupled to the arm. An adjustable coupler is provided for moving the bone measurement device in a generally proximal-distal direction. The bone contacting element is mounted on the adjustable coupler for movement in a direction transverse to the proximal-distal direction into contact with bone when the coupling element is attached to the femoral head. The adjustable coupler for moving the bone measurement device in a proximal-distal direction and the adjustable bone contacting element are calibrated with distance markings. The markings correspond to sizes of femoral implants for implantation in the cavity.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2008Publication date: August 28, 2008Applicant: Benoist Girard SASInventors: Marie Moindreau, Loic Pinot, Richard Eddy Field, Neil Rushton

Publication number: 20080208201Abstract: An apparatus for preparing a head portion of a proximal femur has a drill guide support having a cylindrical bore therein for engaging the head of a femur. The support has a central axis for coaxial alignment with a central axis of a neck of a proximal femur. A drill guide is mounted on a proximal end of the drill guide support, the drill guide having a first drill guide portion extending along an axis co-axial with the central axis of the base portion and a second drill portion extending along an axis forming an acute angle with the first drill portion central axis. A bone thickness indicator is mounted on the drill guide and is moveable towards and away from a neck of the femur along an axis forming an angle with the central axis of the drill guide support.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2008Publication date: August 28, 2008Applicant: Benoist Girard SASInventors: Marie Moindreau, Loic Pinot, Richard Eddy Field, Neil Rushton

Patent number: 6758864Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide a cementless prosthetic bearing element which has been molded and which is possible to place in an acetabular socket without cement, the outer surface of the backing being provided with elements to assist stabilization and the ingrowth of bone. Thus, the bearing element is cheaper and easier to produce and provides superior location and installation in the bone. According to the present invention a cementless prosthetic bearing element comprises a backing which supports a bearing liner having a bearing surface, the backing being molded from a rigid polymeric material and said bearing liner being made from elastomeric polyurethane material to which the backing is molded with an outer surface which includes a number of raised engagement features provided in directions extending away from and/or towards the outer periphery of the outer surface.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2001Date of Patent: July 6, 2004Assignee: Benoist Girard SASInventors: John Andrew Storer, Richard Eddy Field, Neil Rushton

Patent number: 6626948Abstract: A prosthetic femoral component is located in a prepared socket in a femur which has been resected at a position on the proximal side of its neck. The component includes an insert portion and an enlarged proximal head portion the distal end of the head portion being adapted for location in the prepared socket. The component takes advantage of the bone at the periphery of the socket which enables the insert and the part of the head concerned to be accurately and firmly located in the bone. The presence of the bone at the outer edges of the socket helps to stabilize the component. The insert portion can be dimensioned to pass through the neck of the femur with which it is to be used or to be shorter depending upon the requirements.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2001Date of Patent: September 30, 2003Assignee: Benoist Girard SASInventors: John Andrew Storer, Richard Eddy Field, Neil Rushton

Patent number: 6524343Abstract: A prosthetic femoral component is located in a prepared socket in a femur which has been resected at a position on the proximal side of its neck and Includes a tapered insert and a proximal head portion. The proximal end of the insert portion is adapted for location in the prepared socket and has a maximum dimension in a plane normal to the distal-proximal axis of the neck which is larger than the minimum dimension of the neck in a parallel plane. The component takes advantage of the bone at the periphery of the socket which enables the insert to be accurately and firmly located in the bone. The presence of the bone at the outer edges of the socket helps to stabilize the component. Preferably the tapered insert portion is flared outwardly in the proximal direction. The tapered insert portion can be dimensioned to pass through the neck of the femur with which it is to be used or it can stop short of it.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2001Date of Patent: February 25, 2003Assignee: Benoist Girard SASInventors: John Andrew Storer, Richard Eddy Field, Neil Rushton
