Connecting Mechanism For Medial And Lateral Polyethylene Bearing Surfaces For Knee Replacement

US Patent:
2014003, Feb 6, 2014
Filed:
Aug 1, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/957275
Inventors:
William B. Kurtz - Nashville TN, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/38
US Classification:
623 2032
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are improved methods, apparatus and/or systems for a tibial implant assembly that can facilitate balancing, positioning, insertion, locking and maneuvering of the modular tibial inserts during knee surgery. The system may include a plurality of modular tibial inserts with locking or engagement mechanisms that allow creation of a modular insert assembly, and a corresponding tibial tray and optional tray components. The system allows the quick and convenient mating and locking of the tibial insert assembly to the tibial tray. The various components can accommodate mobile-bearing and fixed-bearing designs for the tibial tray.

Combined Measured Resection Methods And Instruments For Knee Arthroplasty

US Patent:
2013031, Nov 21, 2013
Filed:
May 2, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/886235
Inventors:
William B. Kurtz - Nashville TN, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/15
US Classification:
606 88
Abstract:
Described are methods, processes, tools, techniques and/or devices suitable for use in total or partial knee arthroplasty procedures, which can be used to balance the knee and/or allow confirmation of the various gaps in flexion and/or extension prior to resecting the distal and posterior cuts of the femur and/or the resection of the tibia. The various techniques and embodiments described herein may be particularly useful in optimizing and/or reducing the number of resection cuts and/or improper resection cuts made during knee surgery which could result from resecting the knee before balancing.

Total Knee Arthroplasty System And Method

US Patent:
2013028, Oct 31, 2013
Filed:
Apr 30, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/873729
Inventors:
William B. Kurtz - Nashville TN, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/38, A61B 17/15
US Classification:
623 2034, 606 88
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are prosthesis, surgical tools, and methods to preserve one or more ligaments of the knee by cutting a least a portion of natural bone during joint surgery. The natural bone may be cut using various methods and associated cutting guides, and the natural bone is retained along with the natural attachment of an associated soft tissue structure. The bone block cutting guides may create a variety of standard natural block shapes or may create mechanical mating features (e.g., keystone or dovetail configuration) in the natural bone portion that may be inserted, wedged, press-fit, and/or mechanically attached to the tibia. The natural bone block with the associated soft tissue may be further secured by incorporating features in the tibial prosthesis, providing the surgeon with additional fixation components and/or fixation mechanisms.
