An orthopaedic surgical instrument assembly includes a surgical reamer, a cannulated broach, and an instrument handle. The broach includes a bore sized to slide over a shaft of the reamer. The handle attaches to the broach and also includes a bore sized to slide over a shaft of the reamer. A modular broach assembled from a number of broach segments may be used. Methods associated with the surgical instrument assembly are also disclosed.

Cannulated, modular femoral broach and surgical instrument handle

An orthopaedic prosthesis system includes a femoral component configured to be attached to a distal end of a patient's femur. A tibial tray is configured to be attached to a proximal end of a patient's tibia. A tibial insert is configured to be positioned between the femoral component and the tibial tray. An elongated pin rotatably couples the tibial insert to the femoral component.

An orthopaedic surgical instrument for use in disassembling an orthopaedic prosthesis includes a main component, a rod, and a spindle. The main component has a housing and an elongated body extending from the housing with a passageway is defined in the elongated body. The rod has an elongated shaft, with a greater length than the elongated body, extending from the head of the rod and configured to pass through the main component. The spindle threads into the housing to move the rod along a longitudinal axis.

An orthopaedic prosthesis includes a femoral component configured to be attached to a distal end of a patient's femur. A tibial tray is configured to be attached to a proximal end of a patient's tibia. A tibial insert is configured to rotate relative to the tibial tray. A modular insert is received in a cavity defined in the tibial insert. The femoral component is rotatably coupled to the body of the modular insert.

An orthopaedic prosthesis assembly includes a first prosthetic component, a second prosthetic component, and a fastener. The first prosthetic component includes a threaded bore. The second prosthetic component includes an opening and a threaded inner wall that extends inwardly from the opening. The fastener includes a first axial section having a first plurality of threads engaged with the threaded inner wall the second prosthetic component, and a second axial section having a second plurality of threads engaged with the threaded bore of the first prosthetic component to secure the first prosthetic component to the second prosthetic component.

An orthopedic prosthesis assembly includes a first prosthetic component, a second prosthetic component, and a fastener. The first prosthetic component includes a threaded bore. The second prosthetic component includes an opening and a threaded inner wall that extends inwardly from the opening. The fastener includes a first axial section having a first plurality of threads engaged with the threaded inner wall the second prosthetic component, and a second axial section having a second plurality of threads engaged with the threaded bore of the first prosthetic component to secure the first prosthetic component to the second prosthetic component.

An orthopedic prosthesis assembly includes a first prosthetic component, a second prosthetic component, a retainer, and a fastener and allows the removal of the first prosthetic component without having to remove the second prosthetic component from an intramedullary canal of a patient's bone. The fastener is received in an aperture of the first prosthetic component and the retainer is configured to engage the aperture of the first prosthetic component such that a part of the fastener is secured within the aperture. A rod of the fastener is configured to advance along the longitudinal axis through the first prosthetic component into the second prosthetic component. The end of the rod of the fastener is threaded into a threaded bore defined in the second prosthetic component.

Instruments for use in disassembling implants

An orthopaedic surgical instrument and method includes securing an anchor to a tibial prosthetic component implanted in a proximal end of a patient's tibia, moving a separator posteriorly toward the anchor to position a tip of the separator between a lower side of the tibial tray and an upper end of the tibial sleeve, advancing the separator from anterior to posterior between the lower side of the tibial tray and the upper end of the tibial sleeve to detach the tibial tray from the tibial sleeve, and removing the tibial tray from the proximal end of the patient's tibia. The tibial prosthetic component includes a tibial tray and a tibial sleeve secured to the tibial tray.

Surgical instrument and method of disassembling a tibial prosthesis

An assembly tool for use in assembling orthopaedic prosthetic components is disclosed. The assembly tool includes a frame, a base plate that includes a mounting bracket configured to engage a first end of an orthopaedic prosthetic component and a mechanical actuator configured to apply a compressive load to the orthopaedic prosthetic component.

Assembly tool for use in assembling orthopaedic prosthetic components

An orthopaedic surgical instrument includes an anchor configured to be coupled to a prosthetic tibial component, a shaft coupled to the anchor, and a separator coupled to the shaft. The separator is configured to move along the shaft between a first position in which the separator is spaced apart from the prosthetic tibial component and a second position in which the separator is positioned between the tibial tray and the sleeve of the prosthetic tibial component.
