ANATOMICALLY SHAPED AUGMENTS

摘要

Augments (104, 206) for implantation of an orthopedic implant device (100, 200) in a bone. A distal end (146) of an outer portion (132) of the augment can have a shape that is configured to generally conform to the shape of a metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction of an intramedullary canal (118) of the bone (116). Further, a proximal end (148) of the outer portion has a shape that is configured to generally conform to a shape of the metaphyseal region of the intramedullary canal. Additionally, the shape of the outer portion at the distal end can be separated from the shape of the outer portion at the proximal end by a distance that is approximately equal to the distance between the metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction and the metaphyseal region of the intramedullary canal.
