A method and instrumentation for performing a patellofemoral arthroplasty orthopaedic procedure includes coupling an anterior cutting block to a femur of a patient such that the cutting block references local anatomy of the femur. The anterior cutting block is used to perform a number of bone cuts to establish a trochlear cavity in the femur. The trochlear cavity is formed such that a trochlear prosthesis may be inset into the cavity and substantially flush with the surrounding cartilage. A finishing burring guide and burr bit may be used to detail the shape and/or size of the trochlear cavity. Additionally, a trochlear drill guide may be used to facilitate establishing peg holes in the patient's femur to receive corresponding pegs of the trochlear prosthesis.

Orthopaedic surgical instrumentation for performing a patellofemoral arthroplasty procedure

An orthopaedic surgical instrument system includes a compression socket configured for coupling with a selected one of a number of compressible bases. Each compressible base is shaped to conform with a posterior surface of either a dome patella implant component or an anatomical patella implant component.

Orthopaedic surgical instrument system for implanting a prosthetic patella component and method of use

In general, data modules for surgical instruments and methods of using data modules for surgical instruments are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a data module is configured to be removably attached to a powered surgical tool such as an electrosurgical tool. The data module is a standalone device including electronic components that are configured to, with the data module attached to the electrosurgical tool, interact with the electrosurgical tool.

Data modules for surgical instruments

A femoral finishing rasp assembly for use in an orthopaedic surgical procedure includes a femoral finishing rasp and an impactor adaptor. The femoral finishing rasp includes femoral-facing anterior and posterior surfaces, each of which includes a corresponding set of rasping teeth. The impactor adaptor is configured to couple to an exterior surface of the femoral finishing rasp and to an orthopaedic impactor to facilitate the use of the femoral finishing rasp on a distal end of a patient's surgically-prepared femur. A method for performing an orthopaedic surgical procedure using the femoral finishing rasp assembly is also disclosed.

Femoral finishing rasp

An orthopaedic surgical instrument includes a patella trial and drill guide that may be used to both perform a surgical trial of the patellofemoral joint and guide the surgeon in drilling a number of anchor holes in the patella of the patient.

Patella drill guide and trial surgical instrument

An orthopaedic surgical instrument system that includes an orthopaedic surgical instrument adapted to be positioned on a proximal end of a patient's tibia, and a tibial bearing trial assembly, and a tibial evaluation component, and a tibial base trial component configured to be coupled to the orthopaedic surgical instrument. A tibial evaluation component includes a base plate and a generally Y-shaped posterior buttress extending upwardly from a superior surface of the base plate, such that the posterior buttress of the insert component is configured to be received in the opening of the tibial bearing trial assembly to prevent rotation of the tibial bearing trial component relative to the tibial base trial component.

An orthopaedic surgical instrument includes a patella trial and drill guide that may be used to both perform a surgical trial of the patellofemoral joint and guide the surgeon in drilling a number of anchor holes in the patella of the patient. A method of using such an orthopaedic surgical instrument is also disclosed.
