Patent ID: 8840673

Claim:
A multi-component elbow joint assembly incorporated into reconditioned end surfaces established between an upper humerus bone and opposing lower radius and ulna bones, said assembly comprising: a “U” shaped first component anchored into the upper humerus reconditioned end surface and including a first “U” shaped exterior facing profile defining a concave support surface; a second component anchored into the lower reconditioned bone end surface of at least one of the radius and ulna bones and exhibiting a second exterior facing profile defining a second concave support surface, said second component further including a pair of components adapted to being secured to each of reconditioned ends of the radius and ulna bones and in opposing and spaced fashion relative opposite perimeter edge locations of said “U” shaped profile; and a spherical shaped component supported between said first and second anchored components, said concave shaped support surfaces each contacting said spherical component at separate multi-dimensional locations with an end most location of said second concave support surfaces extending between opposing ends of said first “U” shaped component in order to define a spaced apart relationship between said exterior facing profiles of said first and second concave shaped support surfaces, allowing for multi-axial and eccentric motion of said support surfaces relative to both said spherical component and each other during articulation of the bones about said joint.
