Title: Bimetal tibial component construct for knee joint prosthesis
Inventor: HAYES DANIEL E E JR
IPC: A61F2/30
Filed: 2001-07-19
Abstract: This invention provides for a novel orthopedic prosthesis, specifically a prosthetic tibial component for a prosthetic total knee joint, that comprises two constructs, one being a metal base construct that engages the bone and the other being a polyethylene bearing construct that attaches to the metal base construct and articulates with a femoral prosthetic component on the opposing side of the joint. The metal base construct is composed of two different metals, one of which engages the bone surface and the other of which engages the polyethylene bearing construct. Each of these metals is selected so that its characteristics are well suited to its particular function. More particularly, the first metal (i.e., the one that engages the bone surface) is selected so as to provide a superior bone-engaging face, while the second metal (i.e., the one that engages the polyethylene bearing construct) is selected so as to provide a superior polyethylene-engaging face. By combining the different material characteristics of two different metals in the metal bone construct, it is possible to simultaneously form a superior bone-engaging face and a superior polyethylene-engaging face.

Abstract: Optical navigation upon grainy surfaces whose orientation is inclined at about 45 ° to the X
and Y axes of the navigation mechanism is enhanced by: first detect that a spatial filter in use is
inappropriate for the orientation presently occurring, and: second, employ a different and more
appropriate spatial filter subsequent to such detection.
The shape of a correlation surface (89) used in the navigation process is tested (93,94) for the
presence of a ridge in the correlation surface. This generates control metrics whose filtered
excursions are tracked by a control system that changes the spatial filter in use.
The direction from which illumination arrives relative to the X and Y axes affects the
range of angles (relative to, say, the Y axis) that a filter is effective, by changing the apparent size
and proportions of the highlights and shadows that are the perceived features ultimately navigated
upon. Stable operation of the control system can be enhanced by ensuring overlap of the filters'
ranges, and can be promoted by dynamically altering (102) the direction from which illumination
reaches the navigation surface(Fig. 14), so that it corresponds to, or varies in relation with, the filter
in use.
