This patent requires the priority of following patent application: by AnthonyD.Zannis and DarenL.Deffenbaugh be filed on October 30th, 2010, name is called the U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.61/256527 (attorney DEP6035USPSP) of " PROSTHESISWITHMODULAREXTENSIONS " (having the prosthese of modular extensions).Present patent application is also the part continuation application of following U.S. Patent application, the disclosure of these patents is incorporated herein by reference in full: be filed in JIUYUE in 2007 25 days, name is called U.S. Patent Publication No.US20090082873A1 (the U.S. Patent application No.11/860 of " Fixed-BearingKneeProsthesis " (fixed-bearing knee prosthesis), 833) and be filed on November 17th, 2009, name is called the U.S. Patent Publication No.20100063594A1 (U.S. Patent application No.12/620034) of " Fixed-BearingKneeProsthesisHavingInterchangeableComponen ts " (having the fixed-bearing knee prosthesis of interchangeable components).
The disclosure relates generally to implantable orthopedic technical aid, more particularly, relates to the implantable prosthesis having bearing assembly and be used for another assembly supporting bearing assembly.
Patient in life, due to (such as) disease or wound reason, may need to carry out joint replacement surgery to patient.Joint replacement surgery may relate to the prosthese used in the one or more skeleton of patients with implantation.In replacement knee in arthroplasty, by tibia support patients with implantation tibia.Then by supporting and fixing on tibia support.The condyle of the distal femoral component of displacement dashes forward surface support in tibia supporting.
A kind of knee-joint prosthesis is fixed-bearing knee prosthesis.As its name suggests, the supporting of fixed-bearing knee prosthesis can not be moved relative to tibia support.Fixed bearing design normally does not allow to use when using the knee-joint prosthesis with expansion bearing in soft tissue (i.e. knee ligament) situation of patient.
By contrast, in expansion bearing type knee-joint prosthesis, supporting can be moved relative to tibia support.Expansion bearing knee-joint prosthesis comprises so-called " rotation platform " knee-joint prosthesis, and in this prosthese, supporting can rotate around longitudinal axis on tibia support.
Tibia support is made up of biocompatibility metal usually, such as cochrome or titanium alloy.
For fixed bearing and expansion bearing knee-joint prosthesis, tibia support can be designed to cement reaction on patient's tibia, or alternatively, also can be designed for without cement reaction.The mechanical adhesion that what cement reaction relied on is between tibia support and bone cement and between bone cement and skeleton.Usually there is without bone cement implant the surface character being conducive to skeleton and growing in implant assembly, and rely on this skeleton to grow into a great extent to carry out secondary and fix, once fixingly then to be realized by the machinery laminating between implant and the skeleton of preparation.
Fixed bearing and expansion bearing and bone cement and be all modular assembly usually without the tibial component in bone cement knee arthroplasty system, the polymeric support that these assemblies comprise tibia support and carried by tibia support.Tibia support generally includes the structure distally extended, such as nail or bone handle.These extensions are penetrated into below tibial plateau surfaces, and stablize tibia support assembly, to avoid movement.Without in bone cement tibia implant, the outer surface of these extensions normally porous, grows into allow skeleton.Such as, in Zimmer single-body type bone trabecula metal (ZimmerTrabecularMetalMonoblock) tibia support, the nail with planar distal end surface and hexagon axial plane is formed by porous metals completely.In this tibia support, skeleton is grown into and is probably carried out along all surface (comprising distal surface) of nail.
The distal femoral component of this type of knee joint prosthesis system is also designed for cement reaction and without cement reaction.For cement reaction, distal femoral component generally includes groove or bone cement chamber.For without cement reaction, distal femoral component is designed for once to be fixed by pressure fitted, and comprises the bone composition surface being suitable for the porous that skeleton is grown into.These two kinds designs all can comprise nail, and these nails are designed to extend into the hole of having prepared in femur with stabilisation implant.
Sometimes, first knee-joint prosthesis can lose efficacy.Inefficacy may be caused by a lot of reasons, comprises wearing and tearing, aseptic loosening, osteolysis, ligament instability, joint fibrosis and patellofemoral complications.When the mobility of weakening people of losing efficacy, be necessary to carry out surgery revision procedure.Carry out in revision surgical procedures, remove first knee-joint prosthesis (or its parts), and replaced with the assembly of jointing repair prosthesis system.
When tibia or femoral implant comprise extension (the such as nail or bone handle) that stretch into natural skeleton, revision procedure needs large area to excise skeleton, to remove extension from skeleton usually.Large-area excision not only makes operation more complicated, and needs to remove too much patient's natural skeleton inadvisablely.Remove extra skeleton and also can endanger skeleton further, increase the risk occurring skeleton pathological changes or exception, or minimizing can be used for the healthy bone fixedly overhauling implant.In addition, large area excision means that the orthopaedic implants that needs are larger carrys out packing space and joint assembly returned to the geometry of expection usually.
In fact skeleton is also grown in extension, and this makes from skeleton, remove first implant assembly and becomes more difficult.Because not all these regions can be close easily when large area does not cut bone bone, cutting off these connections can abnormal trouble.
