Philosophy:
As an Orthopedic surgeon who specializes in the treatment of hip and knee disorders, my goal is to help the patient achieve and then maintain an active life style that promotes physical fitness, physical health, recreational activities, amd return to the workforce. I always prefer to use non surgical methods when they have a reasonable chance of being successful, but I am particularly trained in surgical intervention when needed.

US Patent:
2010011, May 6, 2010
Filed:
Oct 30, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/609465
Inventors:
Theodore Crofford - Fort Worth TX, US
Assignee:
HOWMEDICA OSTEONICS CORP. - Mahwah NJ
International Classification:
A61B 17/58
US Classification:
606 89
Abstract:
A femoral neck fixation prosthesis and method of using same which reduces bone loss and the avoids the other shortcomings of the prior art by allowing the fixation of a stable femoral head replacement while reducing the amount of the femur which must be reamed for the insertion of the prosthesis. The preferred embodiment provides that the femoral head is attached to a fixation prosthesis, which extends coaxially through the canal of the femoral neck, into the femur, and is then attached to the opposite lateral wall of the femur. In this manner, the prosthesis serves to imitate the original structure of the femoral neck. No other support members, either crosspins or arms extending into the length of the femur, are required.

International Classification:
A61F 2/36
US Classification:

Abstract:
An implant is provided for replacing the proximal portion of a femur having a substantially intact natural femoral neck and a lateral side opposite the femoral neck, with a bore extending from the femoral neck through a lateral side of the femur. The implant comprises a sleeve having a flange for engaging a proximally facing resected surface of the neck surrounding the bore in the femur and having a bore with an inwardly tapered conical portion. A shaft member having a longitudinal axis, a distal end, and a proximal end is placed in the bore through the femur. The shaft member has an intermediate conically tapered male portion for coupling to the conically tapered bore of the sleeve and a proximal end having a conically tapered portion. A head member having a distal end and a proximal substantially-spherical portion and a tapered recess is configured for positioning in a natural or prosthetic hip socket.
