Apparatus For Knee Prosthesis

US Patent:
6325828, Dec 4, 2001
Filed:
Dec 2, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/982363
Inventors:
Douglas A. Dennis - Denver CO
Richard D. Komistek - Highlands Ranch CO
Assignee:
Rose Biomedical Research - Denver CO
International Classification:
A61F 238
US Classification:
623 2014
Abstract:
A knee prosthesis which more accurately reproduces the rollback of natural knee movement and, thus, reduces wear on the tibial component. The knee prosthesis includes a femoral component with two cams, the first located between the posterior condylar sections and the second located towards the anterior end of the condylar sections with a slot surface therebetween. The tibial component includes a spine which engages each cam as it rotates along the femoral component and the slot surface during flexion and extension.

Mobile/Fixed Prosthetic Knee Systems

US Patent:
2008009, Apr 17, 2008
Filed:
Sep 21, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/859451
Inventors:
Luke Aram - Warsaw IN, US
Adam Hayden - Auburn NH, US

International Classification:
A61F 2/38
US Classification:
623020340, 623020150, 623020320
Abstract:
A prosthetic knee system includes a tibial tray, a non-rotating tibial insert, and a rotating tibial insert. The non-rotating tibial insert and the rotating tibial insert are selectively couplable to the tibial tray such that a fixed or a mobile orthopaedic prosthesis may be configured.

Method And Apparatus For Hip Prosthesis

US Patent:
5951605, Sep 14, 1999
Filed:
Jul 1, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/672994
Inventors:
Douglas A. Dennis - Denver CO
Richard D. Komistek - Denver CO
Assignee:
Rose Biomedical Research - Denver CO
International Classification:
A61F 234
US Classification:
623 23
Abstract:
An prosthesis for allowing natural ball and socket type movement, as in a hip or shoulder. A femoral component having a ball at one extremity is engaged with an acetabular component having a hemispherical cup to receive the ball. A ligamentous material extends from a port in the hemispherical cup to a port in the ball to apply a resistive force to resist any dislocating force, the resistive force varying in proportion to the movement of the femoral component from a natural and relaxed position in relation to the acetabular component.
