Definitions
- This invention relates generally to orthopedic prostheses, particularly to those having a modular construction that is assembled from selected components and implanted during re-constructive arthroplastic surgery.
- U.S. Patent No. 4, 790,852 to Noiles shows a modular hip prosthesis including a collar having a shape with a keyhole cross-section and terraces surrounding the outer surface perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the collar.
- the collar has a tapered proximal-to-distal contour.
- the shape of the collar is instead dictated by the milling instrumentation used to prepare the proximal femoral cavity.
- a surgeon resects the femoral head (ball) with an osteotome, thereby exposing the medial aspect of the cavity, then reams the intrameduilary canal to make a space for the collar.
- the medial bone cavity is then milled to make it fit set criteria of the implant.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,002,578 to Luman also has transverse terraces and a supposed cavity conforming cross-section. However, such terraces, like those of the above noisyles '852 patent, do not counteract rotary motion of the prosthesis, but rather axial motion.
- U.S. Patent No. 4,549,319 to Meyer has an external geometric pattern of elongated projections spaced circumferentially on a hip prosthesis.
- U.S. Patent No. 4,624,673 to Meyer discusses a component for use in a prosthetic joint having a hollow tube with a closed end and an open end. The area of the external surface adjacent to the open end is at least twice the area of the external surface adjacent to the closed. A plurality of terraces, oriented orthogonal to a distal shaft, are on the external surface. A female part of self- locking taper is provided to connect the components.
- U.S. Patent No. 4,846,839 to Noiles shows a modular hip with a collar having an oval cross-section and a terraced external surface, connecting with a stem. Products have been marketed generally based upon this approach, e.g., The SROM Hip, of Joint Medical Products, Inc.
- the aforementioned patents seek to provide rotatory stability by circumferential contact between the prepared femoral cavity and an outer surface of a main body or collar member. This type of contact is actually tangential in nature.
- the use of an oval cross- sectional shape often does not allow the outer surface of the prosthesis collar to effectively engage the intact bone.
- healthy bone can be problematic to uniformly contact, for example, in the lateral aspects of the proximal femur, where the greater trochanter is left largely undisturbed by the surgeon during a primary implantation.
- the lack of rotatory stability, needed for uniform stress on such healthy bone can cause the intact tissue to weaken and possibly atrophy, unacceptably, at some point following the initial implantation of the prosthesis.
- U.S. Patent Nos. 5,370,706 and 5,080,685 to Bolesky show a body member having a neck with a base defining a neck basal plane.
- a body member includes an upwardly and inwardly directed portion and a tapered longitudinal bore.
- a tapered connector engages a head member with the upwardly and inwardly directed portion.
- U. S. Patent No. 5,201,882 to Paxson discloses indicia for selecting the desired ante-version of a modular hip stem that is connected via tapered fittings to a unitary neck/body member, but the neck is not independently adjustable relative to the body.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,725,592 issued to the present inventor, describes a modular hip prosthesis having a distal stem component that connects with a body component and a neck component both having tapered through- bores.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,489,309 to Lackey, et al., entitled, AModular Humeral Component System® discloses a kit of interchangeable elements each having a variety of sizes said to fit a particular desired patient.
- a head is assembled proximally to a body by standard tapered connection, the body being affixed to one or more elongated stem portions by conical fittings having hexagonal ends said to prevent anti-rotation.
- the stems may further include distal extensions to accommodate the length of the intramedullary canal of the humerus.
- a modular prosthesis having independently adjustable components, and for a connector mechanism allowing the surgeon to visibly adjust them.
- a prosthesis is needed, having an adjustable body with a geometry that incisively engages healthy bone, then securely locks with a stem component inter-operatively.
- the prior patents do not show a body shape capable of adjustably engaging healthy bone tissue in such a manner.
- a modular implant that is infinitely adjustable, rotationaily and axially, using a relatively simple array of components, allowing a surgeon flexibility while reducing the cost of carrying a large inventory of sizes.
- Such a need also exists while continuously delivering desired benefits, via the implant geometry, to a patient's intact bone.
- a modular implant design is called for, whose components can be readily assembled inter- operatively and securely locked together by the surgeon to achieve these purposes.
- a modular orthopedic prosthesis including a stem having one end with an elongated portion and another, longitudinally opposed end with a first means presenting a joint motion surface.
- the prosthesis has a body including a bore defining at least a first axis and having a polygonal cross-section with at least two angular corners adapted to bite or incise into the bone cavity of a patient to prevent rotation of the implanted prosthesis relative to the bone.
- Means are provided for connecting and locking the stem and body together in a fixed position.
- the body has a first end with a generally triangular cross-section in the region of the first end and a generally round cross-section in the region of its second end, presenting a multi-axiai wedge shape.
- a modular orthopedic prosthesis comprising a stem component having one end with an elongated portion and another, longitudinally opposed end with a first means presenting a joint motion surface.
- a body component includes a bore defining at least a first axis.
- a radially expansible sleeve has opposed ends, one end received within the bore and the other end projecting outwardly from the bore, the sleeve adjustably connecting the stem and body together and locking them in a fixed position.
- the joint motion surface is adjustably spaced from the body.
- a modular hip prosthesis is provided and, in one or more still further preferred embodiments, a humeral prosthesis is provided.
- An advantage of the present invention is inventory and manufacturing cost savings, since its modularity allows for economy in manufacturing, as any number of well-known stem types may be selected, and also reduces the inventory of pieces needed on-hand for each surgical procedure.
- Another advantage of the invention is enhanced clinical benefits, as the wedge shape offers enhanced rotatory stability of the prosthesis in use, particularly with revision surgery patients.
- a further advantage of the invention is in providing a connector mechanism that is highly secure once fixed in place, meanwhile providing the surgeon inter-operative flexibility to axially and rotationally adjust the stem independently of the body.
- a still further advantage of the invention gives a surgeon the capability to rotationally "dial” the body in order to have its triangular corners contact and "bite into” or incise as much available healthy bone as possible. By evenly loading/stressing such intact bone, wherever found by the surgeon, particularly in revision patients, it is possible to avoid potential eventual atrophy of the bone tissue.

- a modular prosthesis assembly including a stem component, generally shown at 12, a body component, generally shown at 14, and means in the form of a sleeve, generally shown at 16, for affixing the stem and body together.
- the stem 12 is a unitary member, however, as shown in FIGS. 6-7, the stem can be in a modular form.
- the prosthesis 10 comprises a single sleeve, however, as shown in FIG. 7, the prosthesis can include a pair of sleeves 16 in conjunction with a modular stem. Nevertheless, a single sleeve is preferred.
- FIGS. 1-13 there is provided a modular prosthesis assembly, generally shown at 10, including a stem component, generally shown at 12, a body component, generally shown at 14, and means in the form of a sleeve, generally shown at 16, for affixing the stem and body together.
- the stem 12 is a unitary member, however, as shown in FIGS. 6-7, the stem can be in a modular form.
- the prosthesis 10 comprises
- the body has a first or proximal end 15 and a second, longitudinally opposed or distal end 17.
- the body 14 functions as a wedge generally in the anterior-posterior and medial- lateral plane, as well as the proximal-distal plane, as will be herein elucidated.
- the body 14 has a bore 18 with a first axis A extending between the proximal 15 and distal 17 ends, through which stem 12 is received, once the stem has been passed through sleeve 16.
- the assembled stem 12 and sleeve 16 are seated in bore 18 and, as they are urged into the bore fully, the sleeve radially compresses to pressure-lock the stem and body together in a fixed relative position.
- the present invention employs a distinctive geometry and connection technology that variably locks together the three fundamental components 12, 14 and 16 of the prosthetic hip 10 into a fixed configuration.
- the proximal femoral bone cavity is prepared by reaming and then a finish broaching operation, thereby creating the desired cavity in the bone.
- the sleeve 16 is placed in the bore 18 (phantom) through a first end 15 of body 14 but left proud, i.e., not fully seated in the bore.
- stem 12 is passed through the sleeve 16 until the desired neck height is achieved for restoring the tension of the total articulated joint. Indicia could be added to allow visual recognition of the height adjustment by the surgeon.
- axial force is applied to the top 24 of sleeve 16, locking it against the bore 18.
- axial force can be applied to the top 26 of neck 22 and transmitted indirectly, through the bottom 20 of neck 22, to top 24 of sleeve 16.
- the components are actuated and locked together in this manner as shown by FIGS. 1 and 4, in the case of a unitary stem 12, and similarly in the case of a modular assembly.
- modular neck 22 has a protrusion 27 extending distally from bottom 20 of the neck for connecting with sleeve 16.
- Protrusion 27 may be either straight or tapered, depending upon the geometry of its interconnecting member.
- sleeve 16 is radially flexible by means of a preferred split collet 28, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 3A-3B, to lock the components together.
- the preferred split collet 28 can be made from titanium, stainless steel or cobalt-chromium alloys.
- Sleeve 16 has bottom 25 received within bore 18. The same locking function is performed by sleeve 16 in the embodiments of FIGS. 6-8 that show a modular distal shaft 30.
- a solid construction could be employed for the sleeve (not shown), using a super-elastic material that is inherently radially flexible under controlled temperature conditions, e.g., a nickel-titanium alloy such as nitinol.
- Sleeve 16 has an outer surface 31 that engages bore 18.
- FIG. 2A taken through the region of first or proximal end 15 of body 14, the body has an outer surface 32 with a "generally polygonal" cross-sectional shape, although the polygon is preferably a triangle. Such a shape affords non-tangential contact with the intact bone, in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bone. Together with the tapered contour in the proximal-distal plane, body 14 functions as a three-dimensional wedge.
- general polygonal it is meant that one or more of the sides of the polygon could be either linear or slightly bowed, in a concave or convex manner. However, substantially linear sides are preferred. The degree to which the sides may be bowed should not defeat the function of the angular corners 34 shown in FIGS. 1 , 2, 2A, 2C and 4-10, as well as in FIGS. 11-12 that will be described below.
- centroid (not shown) of the proximal polygonal cross-sectional shape of body 14 need not coincide with axis A of bore 18.
- centroid (not shown) of the distal cross-section (FIG. 2B) which could be polygonal or preferably round, need not coincide with the axis A of bore 18, although such coincidence is preferred.
- first 15 and second 17 ends of body 14 need be perpendicular to the axis A of bore 18, yet, it is preferred that ends 15, 17 are perpendicular to axis A. As shown in FIGS.
- body 14 has a planar osteotomy surface 35, oriented at a selected angle relative to axis A, such that the distance between the axis A and the edge of the outer surface 32 increases in a direction from the first end of the body toward the second end of the body.
- the planar surface 35 generally corresponds to the location of an osteotomy cut.
- Either of the surfaces 15 or 35 could optionally carry a collar member (not shown) that is meant to rest on the end of the bone, where clinically indicated, to help prevent linear subsidence of the body component axially into the bone cavity.
- the body geometry shown in FIGS. 11-13 has the same function as in the other embodiments previously discussed. That is, the corners 34 incise into the bone to provide rotatory stability to the implanted prosthesis 10, while effectively loading the bone.
- sleeve 16 may have either a straight or tapered bore 36.
- the outer surface 31 of sleeve 16 could be tapered or straight.
- the sleeve may have bore 36 of different diameters correspond to the different outer diameters of the stem 12, respectively.
- the thickness of the wall defined between the inner diameter of the bore 36 and outer diameter to the surface 31 may be varied to accommodate different corresponding diameter sizes of the stem.
- a single through-bore 18 is preferred, separate bores (not shown) could be used to receive each of the distal shaft and neck components, as in the case of a modular stem construction contemplated by FIGS. 6-7.
- shaft 30 has a free end or distal tip 37 that is received within the medullary canal of the femur, in the case of hip prosthesis 10.
- top 24 of sleeve 16 has an optional upper shoulder 38 that is spaced from surface 15 of body 14.
- the optional shoulder 38 stops the sleeve 16 from falling through the bore 18 in body 14 which is necessary since the bore 18 and outer surface 31 of sleeve 16 are both straight rather than tapered.
- the taper connection region 40 adjacent the bottom 20 of neck 22 spreads the collet 28 of sleeve 16 and locks the components together.
- Shoulder 38 has an underside 42 that abuts the outer periphery of bore 18 and stops the sleeve 16 from falling through the bore 18.
- the bore could have a counter-sunk inlet (not shown) that would abut the bottom 25 of sleeve 16 and arrest its downward motion in the bore.
- the leg length could be adjusted by using different height shoulders 38.
- neck 22 carries a joint motion surface via tapered connector 44 to which a ball (not shown) may be attached having the acetabular fit needed to ensure proper articulation and total joint tension.
- Distal shaft 30 could be coated, fluted, slotted or the like.
- the connection region 40 although shown with a tapered diameter in FIG. 8, as well as in a unitary stem 12 or modular neck 22 and shaft 30 configuration, can also have a straight diameter in the other embodiments described. Region 40 is adjacent a fixed or proximal end 41 of modular shaft component 30 (FIGS. 6-7), which is longitudinally opposed from distal tip 37. End 41 is received within sleeve 16.
- FIG. 5 showing the preferred triangular proximal cross- sections of the invention versus a representative prior art collar (oval and keyhole shapes) in an actual cadaver bone.
- superimposed on the prior keyhole shape is the triangular cross- section of the invention.
- the prior art relies upon circumferential and, ultimately tangential contact with the bone and does not present a multi-axial wedged shape that reaches out and incises into intact bone in the lateral regions of the proximal femoral cavity, as does the present design. This structural difference results in a crucial functional distinction.
- FIGS. 9-10 two preferred polygonal shapes are shown for body 14, taken cross- sectionally in the region of first end 15 adjacent neck 22.
- body 14 has a generally triangular cross-section, with at least two corners 34 on its outer surface 32, whereas, in FIG. 13 there is shown another polygonal shape, i.e., partially hexagonal, which presents such corners 34.
- the necessity for biting into intact bone, in the case of hip arthroplasty, is most important in the lateral aspect of the femoral cavity, which is less exposed than the medial aspect. This is because the femoral head is resected, exposing the entire proximal medial cavity to the surgeon.
- Bore 18 of body 14 has a tapered portion 46 adjacent the top or proximal end 15, for mating engagement with either sleeve 16 or a tapered stem.
- a modular humeral prosthesis is generally shown at 110, including a stem component, generally shown at 112, a body component, generally shown at 114, and a sleeve component, generally shown at 116.
- Stem 112 has a proximal neck 122 and an elongated distal shaft 130 with tip 137 for implantation in the intramedullary canal of a patient.
- Neck 122 has a first means, in the form of tapered male connector 144, presenting a joint motion surface on which a humeral head component, generally shown at 139, is attached by a mating female connector on the underside (not shown) of the head.
- Body component 114 includes a bore (not shown) defining at least a first axis.
- Radially expansible sleeve 116 has opposed ends 124, 125, one end 125 received within the bore of body 114 with the other end 124 projecting outwardly from the bore.
- the sleeve 116 adjustably connects stem 112 and body 114 together, radially expanding and locking them in a fixed position when the sleeve is actuated.
- Body 114 has external surface 132 that contacts the intact bone of the patient.
- Humeral head 139 is received within the glenoid cavity (not shown) of a patient.
- the bore of sleeve 116 may have either a cylindrical or tapered structure, depending upon the desired geometry of body 114 or stem 112, respectively.
- the outer surface 131 of sleeve 116 could be tapered or cylindrical, depending upon the desired geometry of body 114 or stem 112, respectively.
- Neither of these various alternative combinations of geometry (tapered and cylindrical) will be described in detail here, nor will their associated structures and function be further mentioned, as those skilled in the art will appreciate them by careful resort to FIGS. 1-13.
- platform 133 acts to prevent subsidence of the implant in the intramedullary canal, and to distribute anatomical loads on the proximal humerus.
- Neck 122 has a lateral fin 135 extending outwardly therefrom in which suture holes (not shown) may be provided.
- Tapered male connector 144 projects medially and proximally from neck 122 and mates with a female connector (not shown) located within the underside (not shown) of humeral head component 139 when the prosthesis is fully assembled.
- Stem 112 may comprise a unitary or modular structure, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, respectively. The modular stem 112 of FIG. 15 functions similarly to the unitary stem 112 of FIG.
- stem further comprises a separate distal shaft 130 and a proximal protrusion 127 which components are assembled as in the preferred hip embodiment shown in FIG. 6.
- Sleeve 116 with radially expanding collets 128 is of substantially the same structure and performs the same function as the sleeve 16 with collets 28 described above in relation to FIGS. 1-13.
- Body 114 preferably has a polygonal shape, more preferably has a generally triangular proximal cross-section. The structure and advantages of this geometry are as described with respect to one or more embodiments of the preferred body 14 of hip prosthesis 10 shown in FIGS. 1-13.
