Patent number: 11963877Abstract: A femoral orthopaedic prosthesis includes a metallic core extending from a proximal end to a distal tip. The metallic core includes a neck that is positioned at the proximal end and is configured to receive a prosthetic femoral ball. An elongated stem extends distally from the neck to the distal tip. The stem includes a proximal section extending distally from the neck, and a distal section that extends proximally from the distal tip. The elongated stem also includes a pair of spaced-apart beams that connect the proximal section to the distal section. An aperture is defined in the stem between the pair of spaced apart beams.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: DEPUY SYNTHES PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Sherrod A.

Publication number: 20210326794Abstract: A system and method for managing inventories of orthopaedic implants includes receiving a medical image of a bone of a patient from a healthcare provider, performing a digital templating procedure on the medical image to determine an orthopaedic implant for use with the bone of the patient; transmitting the digital templated medical image to the healthcare provider, and shipping the orthopaedic implant to the healthcare provider in response to an electronic approval of the digital templated medical image received from the healthcare provider. Implant constraint data may also be received from the healthcare provider and used in determining the orthopaedic implant. In addition, a number of orthopaedic implants having a range of different sizes based on the size of the determined orthopaedic implant may be shipped to the healthcare provider. In some embodiments, the healthcare provider may perform the digital templating procedure on the medical image.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2021Publication date: October 21, 2021Inventors: Mark R.
