A femoral orthopaedic prosthesis includes a metallic core extending from a proximal end to a distal tip. The metallic core includes a neck that is positioned at the proximal end and is configured to receive a prosthetic femoral ball. An elongated stem extends distally from the neck to the distal tip. The stem includes a proximal section extending distally from the neck, and a distal section that extends proximally from the distal tip. The elongated stem also includes a pair of spaced-apart beams that connect the proximal section to the distal section. An aperture is defined in the stem between the pair of spaced apart beams.

Orthopaedic prosthesis having support structure

An apparatus and method are provided for treating a healthcare patient. The method includes the steps of establishing an audio/visual teleconference between a processor of the patient at a first location and a processor of a physician located at a second, remote location different from the first location and displaying a set of biometric parameters of the patient in real time to the physician at the remote location.

Method and apparatus for sharing medical information

An orthopaedic surgical instrument system includes an orthopaedic surgical instrument tray and an orthopaedic surgical instrument that is configured to be positioned in the instrument tray. The orthopaedic surgical instrument system also includes a machine-readable optical label that is associated with the instrument. The system is configured to determine a duration of use of the instrument based on whether the machine-readable optical label is detected.

Orthopaedic instrument system and method for determining duration of use of an orthopaedic instrument

A surgical instrument system and method are disclosed. The surgical instrument system includes an instrument case and a charging plate that may be placed in a sterile surgical field. The charging plate is configured to receive electrical power from outside the sterile surgical field and transmit that electrical power to other devices within the sterile field.

Inductively-powered surgical instrument system

A system and method for managing inventories of orthopaedic implants includes receiving a medical image of a bone of a patient from a healthcare provider, performing a digital templating procedure on the medical image to determine an orthopaedic implant for use with the bone of the patient; transmitting the digital templated medical image to the healthcare provider, and shipping the orthopaedic implant to the healthcare provider in response to an electronic approval of the digital templated medical image received from the healthcare provider. Implant constraint data may also be received from the healthcare provider and used in determining the orthopaedic implant. In addition, a number of orthopaedic implants having a range of different sizes based on the size of the determined orthopaedic implant may be shipped to the healthcare provider. In some embodiments, the healthcare provider may perform the digital templating procedure on the medical image.

Method and system for managing inventories of orthopaedic implants

A method and system for registering a bone of a patient with a computer assisted orthopaedic surgery system includes retrieving an image of the bone having indicia of the position of a magnetic source coupled thereto, determining first data indicative of the position of the magnetic source in a bone coordinate system, determining second data indicative of a correlation between a coordinate system of the image and the bone coordinate system based on the first data; and displaying an image of the bone based on the second data.
