[Description of research and development funded by the federal government]
[1. Field of Invention]
The present invention relates generally to orthopedic instrument use, and more particularly to orthopedic cutting instruments.
[2. Background art]
Most orthopedic instruments rely on bone spikes or bone pins for fixation. Other instruments use intramedullary (IM) instruments that have a combined configuration for instrument interaction purposes. However, these previous devices do not control all degrees of freedom. These previous devices are not stable or relatively inaccessible.
Other instruments connect to pre-set length intramedullary instruments through screw connections. This method limits the total stability achieved to that obtained from a preset length of intramedullary instrument. If it is possible not to limit the length of the intramedullary instrument, the surgeon can first stabilize the intramedullary instrument and then securely connect the instrument associated with the intramedullary instrument.
In general, intramedullary instruments or reference shaft instruments and / or guide assemblies are removed prior to ablation because such an intervention would otherwise interfere with the ablation. Therefore, the stability obtained through the connection of the guide assembly and the reference shaft instrument has generally been lost.
The cutting plate and / or shaft must usually be extracted anatomically through an intramedullary reference. However, in some cases, alternate reference axes are utilized in unusual situations (ie, deformation, trauma, disease, etc.). In either case, the instrument establishes a reference axis relative to the mechanical axis (ie, the intramedullary reference), thereby being firmly fixed to / in the bone. The cutting guide is attached to this reference shaft with the purpose of drawing out the cutting plane and / or shaft (ie, rear slope, valgus angle, etc.) with or without a guide assembly. The cutting guide is typically secured to the bone using bone spikes, screws, drills, or pins. Typically, the reference shaft and guide assembly are then removed for clearance for the cutting instrument.
There remains a need in the art for a device that can accurately establish a strong fixation of an instrument to an intramedullary reference axis. Furthermore, there remains a need in the art for a modularized device that allows for the placement of cutting guides and alignment guides relative to an intramedullary reference axis.
The development of the present invention takes the above problems into consideration. The present invention is a fixation device assembly for use in conjunction with an intramedullary device. The fixture assembly includes an inner collet, an intermediate body, and a knob. The inner collet has a first end portion, a second end portion, and an inner bore extending in the longitudinal direction. The first end portion has a collar and the inner bore is adapted to receive an intramedullary device. The intermediate body has an inner portion and an outer portion. The inner portion is adapted to engage the collar. The knob is adapted to engage the intermediate body. When the knob engages the intermediate body, the intermediate body engages the collar, whereby the internal collet exerts a clamping force on the intramedullary device.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the intermediate body is selected from the group consisting of an outer body and an orientation base.
In another embodiment of the invention, the second end portion has a securing member and the knob engages the securing member.
In an embodiment of the invention, the inner collet has at least one relief region.
In another embodiment of the invention, the intermediate body has at least one relief area.
In some embodiments of the invention, the inner collet and the intermediate body have complementary flats.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the fixture assembly also includes an offset collet handle base and an offset collet female thread.
In an embodiment of the invention, the instrument is attached to the intermediate body. The intermediate body can exert a clamping force on the instrument. The instrument can be selected from the group consisting of an anterior-posterior cutting block and a valgus alignment guide.
In some embodiments, a portion of the intermediate body is angled, thereby angling the instrument relative to the intramedullary device.
In an embodiment of the invention, the intermediate body is an orientation base and the fixture assembly further comprises an outer body mounted on the orientation base.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the fixture assembly also includes a translation rod connected to the outer body. The rotation locking knob can be connected to a translation rod. The downward-facing rod can be connected to the translation rod. The translation locking knob is connected to the downward-facing rod. The cutting guide can be connected to a downward-facing rod.
In another embodiment of the invention, the orientation base further comprises at least one notch, and the rotational locking knob selectively engages the at least one notch.
In an embodiment of the invention, the inner collet includes a base portion and the inner bore is coaxial with the base portion.
In other embodiments of the invention, the inner collet includes a base portion, and the central axis of the inner bore is offset from the central axis of the base portion. The handle can be operably connected to the internal bore.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the intermediate body of the fixture assembly provides a modular connection point for various instruments.
In embodiments of the present invention, the fixation device assembly can be adjusted axially and / or rotatably relative to the intramedullary device.
The present invention has various advantages over prior devices and prior art. For example, by adding the possibility to rotate the cutting guide on a reference axis or an established second axis, the surgeon is able to operate the ablation instrument around an obstacle or gap problem. Due to the possibility of rotating the cutting guide around the second cutting axis, it is not necessary to remove the reference axis before excision. Thus, primary fixation can be obtained from the first axis, reducing and / or eliminating the need for secondary fixation devices such as bone spikes, screws, drills, and / or pins.
Further features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention, as well as the structure and operation of the various embodiments of the present invention, are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The accompanying drawings are incorporated in and form a part of this specification, and together with the description illustrate embodiments of the invention and serve to explain the principles of the invention.
Reference is made to the accompanying drawings, in which reference numerals refer to similar elements, and FIG. The fixation instrument assembly 10 can be used in conjunction with an intramedullary device 100 such as an intramedullary nail, an intramedullary reamer, or a trial stem.

The inner collet 12 has a first end portion 14, a second end portion 16, and a longitudinally extending inner bore 18. The first end portion 14 has a collar 20 and a base portion 26. Base portion 26 may include one or more flats 27. In the embodiment depicted in FIG. 1, the inner collet has two flat ends 27 that are substantially parallel to each other. The base portion 26 can be cylindrical, oval, or cylindrical with the tangential portion removed. In the depicted embodiment, the base portion 26 is generally cylindrical and the inner bore 18 is generally coaxial with the base portion 28.
The inner collet 12 functions as a collet or wedge. The collar 20 can include one or more relief areas 24. Relief area 24 allows at least partially folding of a portion of the inner bore. In the embodiment depicted in FIG. 1, the collar 20 has relief areas 24 that are equally spaced by four with respect to its periphery. In some embodiments, the relief region 24 has a rectangular shape and terminates in the hole 28. The second end portion 16 has a fixing member 22. In the embodiment depicted in FIG. 1, the securing member 22 is a helical groove or thread, although it should be understood that other types of securing mechanisms can be used by those skilled in the art. For example, the fixing member 22 may be a pin that engages with a cam groove of the external body 30. While the securing member 22 can extend from the base portion 26 to the inner collet surface 17, in the depicted embodiment, the inner collet 12 includes a first cylindrical portion 23 and a second cylindrical portion 25. In addition, the first cylindrical portion 23 and the second cylindrical portion 25 separate the first fixing member portion 22a and the second fixing member portion 22b from each other and from the base portion 26. Inner core 18 is adapted to receive intramedullary device 100. In other words, the inner core 18 is formed to fit the intramedullary device 100.
The outer body 30 has a shoulder portion 31, an inner portion 32, a surface 33, and an outer portion 34. The external body 30 may be cylindrical, oval, or elliptical. Inner portion 32 is formed and dimensioned to receive inner collet 12 and particularly base portion 26. In some embodiments, the outer body 30 includes one or more instrument mounting holes 35. Inner portion 34 is adapted to engage collar 20 when outer body 30 is positioned over inner collet 12. The knob 60 engages with the surface 33 and the shoulder 31 protrudes from the surface 33. In some embodiments, the knob 60 has a flange 62 and the shoulder 31 has a recess that receives a portion of the flange 62. In some embodiments, the surface 33 is generally perpendicular to the central axis of the inner bore 18, but in other embodiments, the surface 33 adjusts the valgus angle of the instrument by about 1 °. From about 10 ° to about 10 °. In the depicted embodiment, the surface 33 is angled from about 4 ° to about 7 °. The outer body 30 can include one or more base engaging portions 37. The base engaging portion 37 is adapted to be combined with the flat portion 27. In the depicted embodiment, the base engagement portion 37 is substantially flat.
The knob 60 is combined with the fixing member 22 and adapted to engage the outer body 30, and when the knob 60 is combined with the fixing member 22, the outer body 30 engages the collar 20, thereby The internal collet 12 exerts a clamping force on the intramedullary device 100. The knob 60 is removably attached to the outer body 30 so as to pull the outer body 30 upward and away from the collar 20 to remove the clamping force. As described above, some embodiments of knob 60 include a flange 62 that is received by a recess in shoulder 31. The flange 62 engages the shoulder 31 to pull the outer body 30 upward and away from the collar 20 to remove the clamping force. As an alternative, the knob 60 can be pinned to the outer body 30. In some embodiments, the knob 60 includes one or more longitudinal grooves 64. The longitudinal groove 64 helps the user by gripping the knob 60.
The fixture assembly 10 is assembled by inserting the inner collet 12 through the outer body 30 and then assembled by threading the knob 60 on the inner collet 12. If the knob 60 includes a flange 62, then the first step is to engage the recess of the shoulder 31 with the flange 62 and then insert the inner collet 12 through the outer body 30.
The outer body 30 is used as a modular connector. Thus, instruments such as cutting guides or positioning blocks can be attached to the outer body 30. In an alternative embodiment, the instrument can directly represent the outer body 30. Thus, in this alternative embodiment, an instrument having the same characteristics as the outer body 30 is positioned above the inner collet 12 and secured in place such that the knob 60 is tightened against the inner collet 12. .
Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the intramedullary device 100 is firmly fixed to the bone. The fixture assembly 10 is assembled but does not involve tightening the knob 60. After firm fixation of the intramedullary device 100, the preassembled fixation device assembly 10 is slid over the intramedullary device 100. The fixation device assembly 10 is axially disposed at a desired location along the intramedullary device 100. The knob 60 is turned to tighten and wedge the outer body 30 against the inner collet 12. The collar 20 is folded slightly to exert a clamping force and grips the intramedullary device 100. Any number of different instruments can be attached to the outer body 30 after the outer body 30 is secured in place. Accordingly, the outer body 30 provides a strong connection point for connecting any number of instruments to the firmly connected intramedullary device 100.

In some embodiments, the knob 60 has a flange 62 and the shoulder 87 has a recess 81 that receives a portion of the flange 62. In some embodiments, the surface 82 is generally perpendicular to the central axis of the inner bores 18, 77, while in other embodiments, the surface 82 is centered to adjust the valgus angle of the instrument. An angle from about 1 ° to about 10 ° can be made. In the depicted embodiment, the surface 82 is angled from about 4 ° to about 7 °. The outer body 80 can include one or more first relief regions 84 and one or more second relief regions 85. The relief areas 84 and 85 allow the outer body 80 to extend as the outer body 80 is pressed against the collars 20 and 79. In this manner, the fixture assembly 10 is double fixed. First, as the outer body 80 is pressed against the collars 20, 79, the inner collets 12, 70 are at least partially folded to secure the inner collets 12, 70 relative to the intramedullary device. . Second, since the outer body 80 presses against the collars 12, 70, the outer portion 89 extends. As will be described in more detail below, this extension secures the outer body 80 to the instrument when the instrument is connected to the outer portion 89. This extension of the outer portion 89 prevents the instrument from moving axially and / or rotatably with respect to the outer body 80. The outer body 80 can also include one or more notches 86. The notch 86 is used to remove sharp edges.
8 and 9 illustrate a second embodiment of the knob.

The outer bodies 30 and 80 engage the collars 20 and 79 so as to exert a clamping force. The knob 90 is removably attached to the outer bodies 30, 80 so as to pull the outer bodies 30, 80 upward and away from the collars 20, 79 to remove the clamping force. Some embodiments of the knob 90 include a flange 93 that is received by a recess 81 in the shoulder 87. The flange 93 engages the shoulders 31, 87 so as to pull the outer bodies 30, 80 upward and away from the collars 20, 79 to remove the clamping force. As an alternative, the knob 90 can be pinned to the outer body 30, 80. In some embodiments, the knob 92 includes one or more longitudinal grooves 92. The longitudinal groove 92 assists the user by gripping the knob 90. The knob 90 includes an internal bore 91. At least a portion of the inner bore 91 is threaded and includes a threaded portion 96. The inner bore 91 is sized to receive the inner collets 12, 70, and the threaded portion 96 is adapted to be combined with the securing members 22, 73. In some embodiments, the knob 90 includes a pinhole 95. In some embodiments, a spring pin (not shown) is inserted into the pinhole 95 to hold the inner collets 12, 70 to the knob 90. The knob 90 also includes a third cylindrical portion 94. The knob 90 includes a main body 97, and the third cylindrical portion 94 is spaced apart from the main body 97 and separates the flange 93 in the distal direction.
The fixture assembly 10 can be assembled with any number of instruments without tightening the knobs 60,90. Thus, the external bodies 30, 80 provide a strong connection point for connecting any number of instruments to the firmly connected intramedullary device 100. This is advantageous because the modularity can reduce the time required for surgery and can reduce manufacturing costs. The preassembled fixation device assembly 10 is slid over the intramedullary device 100. The fixation device assembly 10 is axially disposed at a desired location along the intramedullary device 100. The knobs 60, 90 are turned to tighten and wedge the inner collets 12, 70 relative to the outer bodies 30, 80. The collar 20 is folded slightly to exert a clamping force and grips the intramedullary device 100. In some embodiments, the knobs 60, 90 continue to be tightened to wedge the outer body 80 against any of a variety of instruments, after which a firm fixation of the intramedullary device 100 is achieved. Thus, this last embodiment is secured to both the intramedullary device and the instrument.

The fixture assembly 200 is assembled by inserting the inner collet 212 through the orientation base, through the outer body 230, and threading the knob 260 onto the inner collet 212. The outer body 230 is used as a modular connector. Thus, an instrument such as a cutting guide or alignment block can be attached to the outer body 230. In an alternative embodiment, the instrument can directly represent the outer body 230. Thus, in an alternative embodiment, an instrument having the same characteristics as the outer body 230 is placed over the orientation bases 238, 270, 280 and the knob 260 is tightened against the inner collet 212 so that the shaft Fixed in place in the direction.
In use, the fixation device assembly 200 slides over the intramedullary device 100 and then the knob 260 is tightened over the inner collet 212 such that the inner collet 212 is pulled into the orientation bases 238, 278, 280, A wedge effect is caused between the inner collet 212 and the intramedullary device 100. Depending on the situation, the rotation locking knob 242 may be loosened or tightened around the orientation bases 238, 270, 280 to facilitate rotational freedom or restraint of the cutting guide / plane. The translation lock knob 248 may be loosened or tightened along the translation rod 240 to facilitate rotational freedom or restraint of the cutting guide / cut surface.
In the illustrated example, the knob 260 pulls the inner collet 212 using a thread that creates a wedge effect between the intramedullary device 100 and the inner collet 212. This action fixes all orientation-based degrees of freedom for the intramedullary device 100. The outer body 230 has only rotational freedom around the orientation bases 238, 270, 280 because the outer body 230 is axially constrained by the orientation bases 238, 270, 280 and the knob 260. The orientation bases 238, 270, 280 point / confirm a cutting axis that is collinear with or at a predetermined angle to the intramedullary device 100.

The downward rod 246 is a portion to which the cutting guide portion is attached.
Translation locking knob 248 is used to lock rod 246 pointing down from translation on translation rod 240. The rotation lock knob 242 is used to lock the rotation of the outer body 230, the translation rod 240, the downward rod 246, and the cutting guides on the cutting axis or orientation base 238, 270, 28. Notches 254, 274 around the center periphery of the orientation bases 238, 270, 280 are to provide a positive stop position for the rotation lock knob 242.

The present invention also includes a surgical method. The surgical method part utilizes a fixation instrument assembly. While the depicted embodiment illustrates a surgical method for a revision knee arthroplasty, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the surgical method and fixation device assembly may be used primarily for knee arthroplasty I understand that. Furthermore, while the depicted embodiment illustrates a two-segment knee arthroplasty, those skilled in the art are equally applicable with a surgical method and a knee arthroplasty where the fixation device assembly is a single segment. I understand that.
Surgical methods begin with preoperative evaluation. In the case of a revision knee arthroplasty, the preoperative evaluation begins with a complete medical history and physical examination. Determination of etiology or defect requires X-ray assessment, use of technetium bone scans, laboratory studies and / or use of aspiration to rule out the possibility of painless infections There is a case.
Total knee exposure can be complicated by incisions, stiff, fibrous soft tissue skins. In general, greater exposure is required for total knee arthroplasty compared to the primary sequence. The inherent tissue plane must be lifted on average and laterally. Further, fasciocutaneous flaps must be maintained to minimize wound healing complications. In general, standard medial parapatellar arthrotomy is used where feasible. Proximal extensible exposure, such as quadriceps cuts, or distal exposure, such as a tibial nodule osteotomy, may be required to achieve proper exposure.
After proper exposure of all components has been achieved, attention moves to component removal. This is usually accomplished through an incision in the interface between the artificial joint and the joint or the artificial joint interface / bone interface. Many surgeons prefer to first remove the femoral component in order to improve visualization of the posterior tibial component. A thin, flexible osteotome, or thin oscillating saw is probably used to disrupt the prosthetic interface to allow it to be removed with minimal bone loss. There is a case. Alternative techniques include the use of Midas-Rex burrs or Gigli saws to eliminate this interface. An angled osteotome may be beneficial to remove the condylar portion of the femoral component. When the interface is properly removed, minimal force is conventionally required to remove the femoral component. Excessive force to remove components can lead to femoral defects.
Removal of the tibial component is performed in a similar manner. Occasionally, lateral exposure can be more difficult, and the use of a small capsule incision on the lateral lateral surface of the connection gains access to the posterior lateral surface of the tibial component May be needed for. If the interface does not allow easy removal of the implant at the level of the plateau, the cortical window will allow bone bone access to the knee of the prosthesis. As possible, it can be done with metaphysis of the tibia. A controlled and properly placed blow often moves the components of the tibia, as osteosynthesis is most easily under tension.
If the patella button is securely fixed, in place and does not show excessive wear, then the patella button may remain and be protected for the rest of the case . If the patella button has to be modified, removal is most easily performed with a sagittal saw at the bonding agent interface. The remaining plugs and polyethylene plugs from the components are then small and can be removed with a high-speed barr. Good protection must be performed during this phase of the procedure to ensure that the proper patella stock remains for modified component placement. Thereby, fractures are prevented. Once the component is removed, the remaining bonding agent can be removed along with the curette, bone forceps, or osteotomy blade. The wound can be cleaned with a water pick to remove open debris and then attention can be directed to the reconstructed part of the surgical method.
53 is a front view of the intramedullary device 100 and the tibia 104. FIG. In an optional first step, a pilot hole can be drilled into the tibia 104 using an intramedullary drill. The intramedullary canal is expanded with a reamer until skin contact is achieved using progressively larger diameter reamers. The intramedullary device 100 is placed and left with an intramedullary canal that is spread with a reamer. The intramedullary device 100 may be the last reamer used to spread the intramedullary canal with a reamer, or it may be a connecting rod assembly of a tibial stem. In the case of a tibial stem connecting rod assembly, it is manufactured according to the depth and diameter of the last reamer, an appropriate diameter tibial stem connecting rod is selected, and the tibial stem connecting rod assembly is inserted into the tibial canal Please note that. For this purpose, the reamer can include a depth meter.
The tibial alignment guide is then assembled into the fixation instrument assembly and the fixation instrument assembly is attached to the intramedullary device 100. Referring now to FIG. 54, a stylus 308 is connected to the tibial cutting block 310. The tibial cutting block 310 is then assembled to the down rod 246. Next, as best seen in FIG. 55, the fixation device assembly 200 is slid over the intramedullary device 100. The downward-facing rod 246 is adjusted towards the anterior tibia and secured in place. The fixation device assembly 200 is lowered until the stylus 312 touches the least affected area of the tibial plateau. Knobs 60, 90, 260 are tightened to secure the fixture assembly in place. Thereafter, the tibial cutting block 310 can be rotated around the anterior tibia for optimal access by loosening the rotational locking knob 242.
Referring to FIGS. 56 and 57, the next step is resection of the tibia. An optional first step is to use a fixed screwdriver, such as a hexagonal screwdriver, to tighten the rotation lock knob, translation lock knob, and cutting block lock knob. An optional second step is to pin the tibial cutting block against the tibia. Pin 313 is used to pin cutting block 310. The stylus 308 is removed, the saw blade is inserted into the tibial cutting block, and the tibia is excised. The fixture assembly is removed. The surgeon can then perform conventional steps for tibia pretreatment. This can include sitting the tibia deep, inserting a trial into the tibia, evaluating the tibia trial, and adjusting the tibia for proper trial positioning.
The surgical method also includes a step for pretreatment of the femur to receive the implant. FIG. 58 illustrates the intramedullary device 100 and the femur 103. In an optional first step, a pilot hole can be drilled into the femur 102 using an intramedullary drill. The intramedullary canal is expanded with a reamer until skin contact is progressively achieved using a larger diameter reamer. The intramedullary device 100 is placed or left in the intramedullary canal that has been spread with a reamer. The intramedullary device 100 may be the last reamer used to spread the intramedullary canal with the reamer, or it may be the connecting rod assembly of the trial stem. In the case of the trial stem connecting rod assembly, it is manufactured according to the depth and diameter of the last reamer, the appropriate diameter trial stem connecting rod is selected, and the trial stem connecting rod assembly is placed in the femoral canal Note that it is inserted. For this purpose, the reamer can include a depth meter.
The femur 102 is then evaluated for anterior-posterior dimension and stem offset position. As best seen in FIGS. 59 and 60, the offset indicator 320 is slid over the intramedullary device 100 and the anterior-posterior sizing plate 322 is against the anterior skin of the femur. Located and adjacent to the offset indicator. The front-back dimensions are evaluated. Once the front-rear dimensions are sized, an offset indicator is used to evaluate the front-rear position relative to the reamer position. The offset indicator 320 is rotated parallel to the epicondylar axis and is offset against the offset marked on the inner surface of the anterior-posterior sizing plate. Note that it consists of a position. Thereafter, the offset indicator 320 and the front-rear sizing plate 322 are removed.
Alternatively, the surgeon can evaluate the offset using epicondyles. FIG. 61 illustrates the epicondylar axis target 324. After the offset indicator and the anterior-posterior sizing plate are introduced, the surgeon aligns with the central part of the epicondylar process along a line marking the target epicondylar axis. It is not necessary to have the central part of the epicondylar process in the open space of the target axis. The surgeon changes the anterior-posterior sizing plate and estimates the distal enhancement until the epicondylar process aligns with the epicondylar axis target. The purpose is to restore the desired connection line position. Once the desired position of the anterior-posterior sizing plate is achieved with respect to the epicondylar process of the femur, the surgeon refers to the wedge-shaped resection level mark on the anterior-posterior sizing plate To evaluate the distal and posterior wedges. The surgeon keeps the position of the anterior-posterior sizing plate and note the offset indicator position relative to the indicator on the inside surface of the anterior-posterior sizing plate. This provides a rough estimate of the required offset.
In an optional step, the surgeon evaluates the medial lateral femoral sizing. The valgus alignment guide is attached to the fixation instrument assembly, which is attached to the intramedullary device. The distal cutting block is attached to the valgus alignment guide. As best seen in FIG. 62, the valgus guide portion sizing plate 326 is attached to the valgus alignment guide portion. The surgeon then evaluates the dimensions of the medial horizontal femur along with the steps related to the dimensions of the valgus guide sizing plate relative to the femur 102.
Referring to FIGS. 63 to 66, the next step is femoral resection. The valgus guide assembly 150 is attached to the fixation device assembly 10 and the fixation device assembly 10 is attached to the intramedullary device 100. The fixation instrument assembly 10 slides downward in the intramedullary device 100 until the valgus guide assembly 150 is flush with the distal femur. Alternatively, the stylus 330 is attached to the distal cutting block 157 and the tip of the stylus 330 is placed on the least affected side. An optional first step is to use a fixed screwdriver, such as a hexagonal screwdriver, to tighten the valgus collet. An optional second step is to pin the cutting block 157 distal to the femur 102. The stylus 330 is removed, the saw blade 328 is inserted into the distal cutting block 157, and the femur is excised. In some embodiments of the method, it may be necessary to resect additional femoral wedges. The saw blade 328 is inserted into the second or third groove and the femur is excised. Thereafter, any pin 313 is removed and valgus assembly 150 is removed.
The femoral implant may be neutral from the intramedullary canal or offset from the intramedullary canal. In general, a neutral arrangement is chosen as long as it does not cause inferior bone by the implant. In that case, the offset arrangement must be selected.
FIGS. 67-70 illustrate a neutral resection of the distal femur. An anterior-posterior semi-distal shim 332 is attached to the anterior-posterior cutting block 112 and the anchor assembly 10 is attached to the anterior-posterior cutting block 112. The fixation device assembly 10 slides over the intramedullary device 100 until the shim contacts the femur 102. In some embodiments, the quick connect handle 334 is connected to the anterior-posterior cutting block 157. The anterior-posterior position and the lateral lateral position of the anterior-posterior cutting block 112 ensure that the anterior-posterior cutting block 112 is properly positioned with respect to the epicondylar axis. Match to make sure. If the anterior-posterior cutting block 112 is not in place, offset removal and placement may be required. The knobs 60 and 90 are tightened. Depending on the circumstances, the anterior-posterior cutting block 112 can be fastened to the femur 10 using pins 313. The femur 102 is then excised using a saw 318. The surgeon can then perform typical steps for femoral pretreatment. This can include sitting the femur deep, inserting the trial into the femur, evaluating the femoral trial, and adjusting the femur for proper trial positioning. .
71-77 illustrate offset femoral offset resection. The anterior-posterior semi-distal shim 332 is attached to the anterior-posterior cutting block 112 and the offset fixture assembly 400, 500 is attached to the anterior-posterior cutting block 112. The fixation device assemblies 400, 500 are slid over the intramedullary device 100 until the shim contacts the femur 102. In some embodiments, the quick connect handle 334 is connected to the anterior-posterior cutting block 157. The handles 456, 556 are rotated until the front-rear cutting block 112 is in place. The clock position of the handles 456, 556 refers to or indicates the positioning of the anterior-posterior cutting block relative to the intramedullary canal. FIG. 73 illustrates the “11 o'clock” position. FIG. 74 illustrates the “1 o'clock” position. FIG. 75 illustrates the “7 o'clock” position. The knobs 460, 560 are tightened when the front-back cutting block is properly positioned. Depending on the situation, the anterior-posterior cutting block 112 can use the pin 313 to clamp the femur 10. The femur 102 is then excised using a saw 318. The surgeon may then perform typical steps for femoral preparation. This can include sitting the femur deep, inserting the trial into the femur, evaluating the femoral trial, and adjusting the femur for proper trial positioning. .
The instrument and method have various advantages over the prior art. Most instruments use bone spikes or bone pins to position and attach the instrument. Some instruments use an intramedullary device as a reference axis, but do not use an intramedullary device to control movement. Yet another instrument utilizes an intramedullary device having a pre-installed length configuration. In other words, the instrument cannot be adjusted axially along the intramedullary device for a particular patient.
The fixation instrument assembly 10 allows for adjustment of the instrument axially along the intramedullary device 100. By not resecting the usable longitudinal portion of the intramedullary device, the surgeon can first stabilize the intramedullary device 100 independently of the associated / desired connecting instrument, and then the securing instrument. Instruments associated with the assembly 10 can be securely connected. For example, FIG. 2 illustrates the fixation device assembly 10 and the intramedullary device 100.
