| 20090005877 | PROSTHESIS - A preassembled unit comprising an acetabular cup prosthesis and a cap covering the cup prosthesis, the cup comprising and outer shell and a liner located within the shell. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090005878 | PROSTHESIS - A preassembled acetabular cup prosthesis comprising an outer shell and a ceramic liner located within the shell, said preassembled unit having been assembled ex-vivo under a controlled force selected to optimise the pre-stressing of the components of the prosthesis. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090005879 | PROSTHESIS - A preassembled acetabular cup prosthesis comprising an outer shell and a liner located within the shell. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090088861 | PROSTHESIS - A mobile bearing tibial implant is described which comprises a tibial component and a mediscal bearing component. The tibial component comprises a tibial plate having a proximal face and a distal face. A tibial post extends from the distal face of the tibial plate which in use will anchor the tibial plate to the proximal end of a resected tibia. The tibial compent additionally includes a generally rectangular tibial projection extending upwardly from the proximal face of the tibial plate, the central longitudinal plane of the said tibial projection being co-linearly located on the sagittal plane passing substantially through the center of the knee. The meniscal bearing component has a substantially flat distal face for glidable seating on the tibial plate and a proximal face configured to receive in use an articulating condylar surface of a femoral component. The meniscal component has a recess therein opening on the distal face of the component, the recess being shaped to receive the tibial projection and to allow the meniscal bearing component to rotate about a center of rotation passing through the tibial projection but to prevent or limit anterior/posterior translation of the meniscal bearing component on the tibial plate. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090248168 | PROSTHESIS - An acetabular cup prosthesis having a shell component, a liner component located within the shell component and a filling means located in a space between the shell component and the liner component. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090248170 | PROSTHESIS - In a prosthesis and method for manufacturing the same, the prosthesis has an outer articulating surface and an inner bone-contacting surface. The inner surface of the prosthesis has at least one osteo-integration zone with one or more surface formations integrally cast with the wall of the prosthesis. In some instances the prosthesis may be a femoral head prosthesis. To manufacture the prosthesis, a mold is prepared and the prosthesis is cast to include the surface formations. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20100137924 | TOOL - In an alignment guide for use in femoral head surgery, a cannulated rod is supported by, and is adjustable with respect to, a support member of the alignment guide. The guide also includes two jaws, an anterior jaw and a posterior jaw, with each jaw having a proximal end connected to the support arm, and a distal end for clamping, in use, to the neck of the femur. At least one of the jaws is movable from a first open position to a second clamping position. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20110071534 | METHOD OF APPLYING A FEMORAL HEAD RESURFACING PROSTHESIS - A method of applying a femoral head resurfacing prosthesis to a selected femoral head includes mounting a jig on a femur corresponding to the selected femoral head. The jig includes an applicator adapted to engage the femoral head resurfacing prosthesis and push said prosthesis toward the femoral head without damaging an outer surface of the prosthesis. The jig is biased against the femur while moving the applicator from a first position in which the applicator is spaced from the head by a first distance to a second position in which the applicator is spaced from the head by a second distance shorter than said first distance thereby pushing the femoral head resurfacing prosthesis into position on the selected femoral head without damaging the outer surface of the prosthesis with the jig. The jig is removed from the femur once the resurfacing prosthesis is in position on the selected femoral head. | 03-24-2011 |
