Prosthetic Joint Component With Rotation-Regulating Structure

US Patent:
2010033, Dec 30, 2010
Filed:
Jun 25, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/823818
Inventors:
Wael K. Barsoum - Bay Village OH, US
Viktor E. Krebs - Rocky River OH, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/44, A61F 2/30, A61F 2/32, A61F 2/40, A61F 2/42, A61F 2/38
US Classification:
623 1711, 623 1811, 623 2211, 623 1911, 623 2118, 623 2014, 623 2011, 623 2112, 623 2119
Abstract:
An elongate, longitudinally oriented outer sleeve includes an outer sleeve surface and has a sleeve body. A stem-receiving cavity extends from a distal sleeve end into the sleeve body. The distal sleeve end includes a sleeve interference protrusion extending from the distal sleeve end away from the sleeve body. A joint articulating member includes an elongate, longitudinally oriented stem. The joint articulating member includes a joint articulating surface spaced apart from a distal stem end by an angularly extending connector neck. When the stem is inserted into the stem-receiving cavity, the stem and the outer sleeve are configured for selective relative rotation about a shared longitudinal axis, and the connector neck impinges upon the sleeve interference protrusion responsive to a predetermined amount of relative rotation between the stem and the outer sleeve to prevent relative rotation between the stem and the outer sleeve outside a predetermined range of allowable rotation.

Internal Fixation Element For Hip Acetabular Shell

US Patent:
2005028, Dec 29, 2005
Filed:
Jun 28, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/878787
Inventors:
Nicholas Dong - Little Falls NJ, US
Russell Meldrum - Zionsville IN, US
Viktor Krebs - Rocky River OH, US
Assignee:
Howmedica Osteonics Corp. - Mahwah NJ
International Classification:
A61F002/32
US Classification:
623022280, 623022320
Abstract:
An acetabular cup assembly for a prosthetic hip joint includes an outer shell for attachment to the acetabulum. The outer shell has an inner surface receiving a bearing insert portion. Complimentary coupling features are provided on the inner surface of the outer shell and the outer surface of the bearing insert for coupling the bearing insert to the outer shell. A plurality of adaptors are provided having an outer surface for engaging an inner surface of the outer shell and having an inner surface for receiving the bearing insert. Each adaptor has at least one radial extending strap or flange for engaging the bone surrounding the acetabulum. The straps or flanges may be of different sizes and shapes and may be at different locations on the adapter. The inner surface of the adaptor includes the same coupling features as the shell so as to be able to receive a bearing insert.

Multi-Piece Prosthetic Joint Component

US Patent:
8268007, Sep 18, 2012
Filed:
Jun 25, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/823765
Inventors:
Wael K. Barsoum - Bay Village OH, US
Viktor E. Krebs - Rocky River OH, US
Assignee:
The Cleveland Clinic Foundation - Cleveland OH
International Classification:
A61F 2/30
US Classification:
623 2346, 623 2115, 623 2242
Abstract:
An elongate, longitudinally oriented outer sleeve includes an outer sleeve surface defining a radially oriented proximal sleeve border, a radially oriented proximal sleeve rim intersecting the outer sleeve surface at the proximal sleeve border, an outer sleeve body enclosed by the outer sleeve surface and the proximal sleeve rim, and an elongate, longitudinally oriented stem-receiving cavity formed in the outer sleeve body and intersecting the proximal sleeve rim to define a stem-receiving aperture. A joint articulating member includes an elongate, longitudinally oriented stem, an articulating surface, and an interface rim. When the stem is at least partially inserted into the stem-receiving cavity, the proximal sleeve rim and the interface rim interact to change a longitudinal relationship between the outer sleeve and the joint articulating member responsive to relative radially-oriented rotation between the stem and the stem-receiving cavity.

Fastener Assembly

US Patent:
7857840, Dec 28, 2010
Filed:
Oct 1, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/865094
Inventors:
Viktor E. Krebs - Rocky River OH, US
Wael K. Barsoum - Bay Village OH, US
Jonathan H. Krapf - Rocky River OH, US
Assignee:
The Cleveland Clinic Foundation - Cleveland OH
International Classification:
A61B 17/04
US Classification:
606327, 606 99, 606300, 606326
Abstract:
An improved fastener apparatus includes an outer sleeve which is moved into a patient's body tissue. A distal end portion of the outer sleeve is expanded in the patient's body tissue. An inner sleeve is moved axially through the outer sleeve and a distal end of the inner sleeve is expanded in the patient's body tissue. The fastener apparatus may be provided with an external thread convolution on either or both of the inner and outer sleeves. During expansion of the distal end portion of either the inner or outer sleeve, a proximal end portion of the outer sleeve may be gripped and pulled to offset forces applied to the distal end portion of one of the sleeves. Although inner and outer sleeves may advantageously be utilized, the fastener apparatus may be constructed with only a single sleeve if desired.

Although inner and outer sleeves may advantageously be utilized, the fastener apparatus may be constructed with only a single sleeve or three or more sleeves if desired. A secondary fastener assembly may be moved through a main fastener assembly.
