ATTACHMENTS FOR ORTHOPEDIC IMPLANTS

摘要

Apparatuses, kits, and methods for cementing an orthopedic implant to a bone, post attachment, are disclosed in some aspects of the present disclosure. A kit can include a prosthetic component and a cement applicator. The prosthetic component can include an attachment profile that corresponds to a mating profile formed on or in a bone. The cement applicator can be configured to apply a bone cement between the bone and the prosthetic component following alignment between the prosthetic component and the bone or another prosthetic component. The kit can also include a bone cement. A method can include positioning the prosthetic component adjacent to the bone, aligning the prosthetic component relative to the bone or another prosthetic component, and applying a bone cement between the bone and the aligned prosthetic component.

主权项

1. A prosthesis positionable between a first bone surface and a second bone surface in a patient, comprising:
a first prosthetic component with a first attachment profile that is associable with a mating profile of the first bone surface in a male-female mating relationship and a second attachment profile that is associable with a mating profile of the second bone surface in a male-female mating relationship; and a stackable, second prosthetic component stackable onto the first prosthetic component, the second prosthetic component including an attachment profile that replicates the first attachment profile of the first prosthetic component to allow association with the mating profile of the first bone surface in a male-female mating relationship and a mating profile that replicates the mating profile of the first bone surface to allow association with the first attachment profile of the first prosthetic component in a male-female mating relationship.
