Patient-Matched Acetabular Component Alignment Device and Method

摘要

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a prosthetic hip system that includes acetabular alignment structures and methods. Acetabular alignment structures and methods may include use of patient-matched components configured to reduce tissue disruption during implantation.

主权项

1. An acetabular component alignment guide comprising:
a first section that is connectable to an acetabular component; a second section that is coupled to the first section and is configured to contact a top rim surface of the acetabular component; and an alignment structure that is coupled to the second section and extends beyond the diameter of the acetabular component and is configured to match with a preplanned anatomical structure of a patient to orient the acetabular component alignment guide relative to the patient's acetabulum.
