Abstract:
Multi-hooded enarthrodial joint implant has a ceramic articulating cup including a ceramic head-receiving cup having an articular surface upon which a head of a joint can articulate, and which, in general, has a margin generally about a hemisphere more or less and at least two hoods that are marginally extended continuations of superior one-half or so of cup containment of a sufficient magnitude to reduce an overall dimension of socket outlet to less than a hemisphere, which can embrace and contain the head. The head is made of ceramic and has a truncated generally circular cross section, a truncated surface with a feature for attachment of the stem, and an opposing articular surface for articulation against the articular surface of the ceramic head-receiving cup. As an ensemble, the cup is combined with the head, typically with a stem, for a total joint implant.

Claim (Index 12):
An enarthrodial joint implant comprising a ceramic multi-hooded articular cup and an insert having a ceramic head with an articulation surface therefor, wherein:\n the cup includes a head-receiving cup made of ceramic, which has an articular surface upon which the articulation surface of the head can articulate, and which, in general, has a margin generally about a hemisphere more or less and at least two hoods that are marginally extended continuations of superior one-half or so of cup containment of a sufficient magnitude to reduce an overall dimension of socket outlet to less than a hemisphere, which can embrace and contain the head when it is inserted into the cup; the insert includes a joint head made of ceramic, which has a head body configured generally in a shape of a truncated sphere; a generally spherical articulation surface on the head body; and a truncation to the head body forming a truncated surface in which resides a blind hole for receipt of a trunnion of a stem, wherein:\n the truncated surface is at a central truncation distance perpendicular to the truncated surface or an extrapolation thereof, which is greater than the radius of the head; and \n the head can be inserted into and retained by the ceramic multi-headed articular cup when the head is inserted into the cup.
