Appl. No.:

16/552027

Inventors:

Adam I. HARRIS - San Antonio TX, US

International Classification:

A61B 17/15

Abstract:

According to an exemplary embodiment, a cutting block for cutting the femur during knee arthroplasty surgery may be provided. The cutting block may include a cutting guide having a number of slots for guiding a cutter to cut the femur and further comprising a slide extending from the frame of the cutting guide. The cutting block may further include a body that may have a groove with flanges, wherein the space defined by the groove and the flanges may receive the slide extending from the frame of the cutting guide. Further, a feeler gauge may include a support block receiving a pointer arm, wherein the pointer arm may include a pointer that may be configured to make contact with patient bone tissue. A foot including a pair of spaced apart flanges configured to engage the posterior condyles of the patient's femur may also be included in the cutting block.

Inventors:

Evan Harris - San Antonio TX, US
Adam I. HARRIS - San Antonio TX, US

International Classification:

A61F 2/46

Abstract:

An assembly tool for affixing a modular femoral head prosthesis to a femoral stem prosthesis during total hip arthroplasty may be provided. The assembly tool may be utilized in conjunction with prosthetic femoral components having a Morse taper arrangement. A predetermined amount of force may be calculated to properly set the prosthetic components. The assembly tool may include hemicylindrical bearings, a clamp, and an impaction cap having extension members connected thereto. The hemicylindrical bearings may be mounted on the neck portion of the femoral stem prosthesis and removably secured thereto via a vice-like clamp. Extension members may attach to the hemicylindrical bearings and extend around the femoral head to an impaction cap. The impaction cap may be mounted on the femoral head and provide the linear biasing force necessary to secure the femoral head to the femoral stem.
