Abstract: An orthopaedic prosthetic includes a femoral component including a pair of condyles spaced apart to define an intercondylar notch. A tibial component includes a tray and a platform pivotally coupled to the tray. A modular insert is configured to be selectively coupled to the femoral component to couple the femoral component to the tibial component.

Abstract: An orthopaedic surgical instrument for use in disassembling an orthopaedic prosthesis includes a main component, a rod, and a spindle. The main component has a housing and an elongated body extending from the housing with a passageway is defined in the elongated body. The rod has an elongated shaft, with a greater length than the elongated body, extending from the head of the rod and configured to pass through the main component. The spindle threads into the housing to move the rod along a longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A surgical instrument system comprising a prosthetic trial component and an orthopaedic surgical instrument is disclosed. The orthopaedic surgical instrument includes a distal tip sized to be received in a passageway of the prosthetic trial component. When the distal tip is positioned in the passageway of the prosthetic trial component and is in an expanded position, the distal tip is configured to engage an inner surface of the prosthetic trial component to secure the prosthetic trial component to the orthopaedic surgical instrument and permit the extraction of the trial component from a patient's bone. A method of use is also disclosed.

Abstract: A tibial orthopedic prosthesis assembly for use during performance of a knee replacement procedure includes one or more tibial augments configured to be coupled to a tibial tray. Each tibial augment includes an exterior side surface of varying angulation relative to a top surface of the tibial augment.

Abstract: An implantable orthopaedic knee prosthesis assembly includes a femoral component, a stem component, a fastener, and a retention device. The femoral component is configured to be implanted into a distal end of a femur of a patient and includes a stem post having a proximal tapered bore, a distal passageway, and a threaded passageway connecting the proximal tapered bore and the distal passageway. The stem component is configured to taper fit to the femoral component and includes a bore formed therein extending proximally and a threaded aperture defined at a proximal end of the bore. The head of the fastener is configured to be received in the distal passageway, whereas the proximal end of the shaft of the fastener is configured to be positioned in the threaded aperture. The retention device is received in the threaded passageway and prevents the proximal end of the fastener from reentering the threaded passageway.

Abstract: A method for joint line assembly of an orthopaedic prosthesis assembly includes inserting a tapered post of a first prosthetic component into a tapered bore of a second prosthetic component along a longitudinal axis to secure the first prosthetic component to the second prosthetic component. A shaft of a fastener is advanced along the longitudinal axis through a threaded passageway defined in the second prosthetic component and into the first prosthetic component. The threaded passageway has a greater diameter than a diameter of the shaft. The end of the shaft is threaded into a threaded aperture defined in the first prosthetic component.
