An apparatus, system, and method for compensating for bone loss of a patient's knee joint during the performance of an orthopaedic surgical procedure includes determining an estimated amount of bone loss of a bone of a patient's knee joint, determining an anatomical distance between a femoral anatomical feature of a patient's femur and a tibial anatomical feature of a patient's tibia, and adjusting the determined anatomical distance based on the estimated amount of bone loss. The determined anatomical distance is indicative of a ligament length of a collateral ligament of the patient's knee joint. The bone loss may be estimated based on, for example, a surface curve fitting algorithm applied to a three-dimensional model of the bone, a defined bone loss amount provided by a user, or a comparison of the three-dimensional model of the bone to a statistical shape model that approximates the bone in a healthy state.

Apparatus, system, and method for bone loss compensation of a patient's knee joint during an orthopaedic surgical procedure

An orthopaedic surgical system includes a sensor module for determining the joint force of a patient's knee joint and an adaptor for coupling various tibial trialing components to the sensor module. The sensor module includes a tibial paddle to which the adaptor is configured to couple. The adaptor and tibial paddle include structures that control the orientation at which the adaptor is attachable to the tibial paddle. Some tibial trialing components may be positioned over the adaptor in a mobile orientation that facilities rotation of the tibial trialing component relative to the tibial paddle or a fixed orientation that restricts the rotation of the tibial trialing component.

Orthopaedic surgical system for determining joint forces of a patient's knee joint

An orthopaedic knee prosthesis includes a tibial insert and a femoral component configured to articulate on the tibial insert. The tibial insert includes a lateral articular surface and medial articular surface that is asymmetrically shaped relative to the lateral articular surface. The medial articular surface is shaped to reduce anterior translation of a medial condyle of the femoral component, while the lateral articular surface is shaped to allow a lateral condyle of the femoral component to pivot, relative to the medial articular surface, along an arcuate articular path. Additionally, one or both condyles of the femoral component may include a femoral articular surface having a curved femoral surface section defined by a continuously decreasing radius of curvature.

Medial stabilized orthopaedic tibial insert

An orthopaedic prosthesis system and associated instrumentation is disclosed. The system includes femoral and tibial components configured to be used in a number of different implanted configurations. The instrumentation is configured to facilitate preparation of the bones and selection of the implant configuration. A method of using the system is also disclosed.

Orthopaedic knee prosthesis system and methods for using same

An orthopaedic surgical system for use in implanting a total knee prosthesis includes an adjustable tibial trial component that is movable in the anterior/posterior direction and rotatable when installed on the resected surface of a patient's tibia. A method of using such a system is also disclosed.

Adjustable tibial trial instrument and orthopaedic surgical method of using the same

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.

Medial stabilized orthopaedic knee prosthesis

Methods and apparatus for planning and/or carrying out a total knee replacement surgical procedure on a knee of a leg of a patient are described. Anatomical data for the leg of the patient is obtained, which allows the femoral mechanical axis, the tibial mechanical axis and the joint line of the knee to be determined. A planned proximal tibial cut angle and a planned distal femoral cut angle are determined. A total knee replacement procedure is carried out on the knee of the patient, wherein a distal femoral cut is made using the planned distal femoral cut angle and a proximal tibial cut is made using the planned proximal tibial cut angle.

Surgical planning and method

An orthopaedic surgical instrument includes a polymer cutting block having a number of metallic cutting guides secured thereto. A pair of metallic bushings function as saw stops at the medial and lateral ends of the cutting slot during an orthopaedic surgical procedure.
