  • PROSTHETIC COMPONENTS AND METHODS FOR JOINT LINE ACCESS
    Publication number: 20140277550
    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.

  • Knee prosthesis system with side-mounted augments
    Patent number: 8632599
    Abstract: A modular knee prosthesis system comprises a distal femoral articulation component, a distal augment, a posterior augment and a first connector for securing at least one of the augments to the distal femoral articulation component through a bore in the augment and an opening in the distal femoral articulation component. The distal femoral articulation component has a distal bone-facing surface, a posterior bone-facing surface and an opening. The openings into the bores of the augments are in the medial or lateral side surface of the augment. Both augments can be mounted and removed from the distal femoral articulation component from either the medial or lateral side.
