Posterior Femur Rough Cut Guide For Minimally Invasive Knee Arthroplasty
US Patent:
7935120, May 3, 2011
Filed:
Apr 29, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/118168

Assignee:
Zimmer Technology, Inc. - Warsaw IN
International Classification:
A61B 17/56
US Classification:
606 88, 606 86 R
Abstract:
A method of preparing the proximal tibial and distal ends of the femur for the implantation of prosthetic components, including the steps of exposing the joint; resecting the distal end of the femur; resecting the tibia; and making a preliminary rough cut of a posterior portion of the pair of condyles. The rough cut is made by positioning a guide on the distal end of the femur and severing a small piece of the posterior portion of the pair of condyles. The rough cut is made prior to the step of resecting the tibia. The method may include finishing the femur by severing and removing a final piece of the posterior portion of the pair of condyles. The small piece removed in the preliminary rough cut step is sized to preserve enough of posterior portion to permit the removal of the final piece.

Assignee:
ZIMMER TECHNOLOGY, INC. - Warsaw IN
International Classification:
A61B 17/56
US Classification:
606 88
Abstract:
A bone resection apparatus and its method of use for knee surgery are presented. In one aspect of the invention, the apparatus includes a spacer and a tibial cut guide. The spacer has a first surface engageable with the cut distal femoral bone and a second surface opposite the first surface engageable with the uncut proximal tibial bone in joint articulating relationship. The spacer further includes a cut guide support. The tibial cut guide has a cutter guide defining a cut plane and a support engaging element engageable with the cut guide support. The cut guide support and support engaging element cooperate to position the cut plane in relative to the first surface.

US Classification:
606087000
Abstract:
A distal cut guide assembly including an intramedullary rod, an alignment guide extending from the rod at an angle and having a slot, a cut guide body having a rail defining a rail axis, a coupling member slidably coupled to rail, and a handle slidably and pivotally joining coupling member to slot and defining a handle axis. The position of the guide body being adjustable relative to the bone along rail axis and slot and about handle axis. A tibial cut guide assembly including a cut guide support member and a cut guide pivotally attached to the support member. An arthroplastic spacer including a spacer block having an axis of symmetry. The spacer includes a handle having a linear portion aligned with and longitudinally bisected by the axis of symmetry and a curved portion coupling linear portion to block. The curved portion is spaced from the axis of symmetry.

Device And Method For Bone Cement Removal
US Patent:
2012020, Aug 9, 2012
Filed:
Feb 8, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/368608
Inventors:
Richard Berger - Chicago IL, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/58
US Classification:
606 92
Abstract:
A ribbon device and method of using the same can be employed to remove extravagated bone cement during an implantation procedure while minimizing or eliminating the use of mechanical force, heat, or potentially injurious chemical removal agents. The ribbon device bonds chemically or mechanically with substantially unset extravagated bone cement, resulting in removal of the extravagated bone cement when the device is used according to the methods of this invention. The ribbon device is formed of biocompatible mesh or weave materials tending to bond with bone cement chemically or mechanically, such as surgical grade fabrics, surgical tape, or mersilene tape. The ribbon device and method of its use can be used in conjunction with implants including tibial and femoral implants.

Apparatus And Method For Creating Spacer Lattice
US Patent:
2013002, Jan 24, 2013
Filed:
Jul 27, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/559742
Inventors:
Richard Berger - Chicago IL, US
International Classification:
B29C 67/24, B29C 33/00
US Classification:
264 401, 425470
Abstract:
A spacer apparatus can be employed to achieve improved fit and balance in a knee joint in knee arthoplasty without requiring multiple cuts to the distal femur or proximal tibia. The spacer apparatus can be molded by using a semi-rigid or rigid one- or two-piece mold to form biocompatible material in liquid or gel form into a desired shape and thickness appropriate for the patient, allowing the material to cure or harden, and then removing the material from the mold. The spacer apparatus can also be molded by using a semi-rigid or rigid one- or two-piece mold to form biocompatible material in liquid or gel form into a desired shape and thickness, allowing the material to cure or harden, and then further cutting or forming the material into a desired shape appropriate for the patient.
