The present invention relates to an orthopedic trial adaptor for use with both standard and reverse shoulder arthroplasty systems in a cemented, fracture or any similar setting where the final seating height of the head or cup implant is not readily available. The thickness of the orthopedic trial adaptor takes into account the difference in coupling between a trial which sits flush on a humeral stem and an implant which sits proudly on the humeral stem.
Over time and through repeated use, bones and joints can become damaged or worn. For example, repetitive strain on bones and joints (e.g., through athletic activity), traumatic events, and certain diseases (e.g., arthritis) can cause cartilage in joint areas, for example, which normally provides a cushioning effect, to wear down. When the cartilage wears down, fluid can accumulate in the joint areas, resulting in pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility. The same can happen in the case where tendons in a joint become lax or soft tissues in or adjacent the joint tear becomes damaged or worn.
Arthroplasty procedures can be used to repair damaged joints. During a typical arthroplasty procedure, an arthritic or otherwise dysfunctional joint can be remodeled or realigned, or an implant or implants can be implanted into the damaged region. Arthroplasty procedures may take place in any of a number of different regions of the body, such as a knee, a hip, a shoulder, or an elbow.
One type of arthroplasty procedure is a shoulder arthroplasty, in which a damaged shoulder joint is replaced with prosthetic implants. The shoulder joint may have been damaged by, for example, arthritis (e.g., severe osteoarthritis or degenerative arthritis), trauma, or a rare destructive joint disease.
Implants that are implanted into a damaged region may provide support and structure to the damaged region, and may help to restore the damaged region, thereby enhancing its functionality. Prior to implantation of an implant in a damaged region, the damaged region may be prepared to receive the implant. In the case of a shoulder arthroplasty procedure, one or more of the bones in the shoulder area, such as the humerus and/or glenoid, may be treated (e.g., cut, drilled, reamed, and/or resurfaced) to provide one or more surfaces that can align with the implant and thereby accommodate the implant. Standard alignment instrumentation may be used for locating a position and orientation to resect the humeral head for proper humeral stem placement in the humerus.
Accuracy in implant alignment is an important factor to the success of the procedure. A one to two millimeter translational misalignment, or a few degrees of rotational misalignment, may result in imbalanced ligaments, and may thereby significantly affect the outcome of the procedure. For example, implant misalignment may result in intolerable post-surgery pain, and also may prevent the patient from having proper deltoid tension or range of motion.
To achieve accurate implant alignment, prior to treating (e.g., cutting, drilling, reaming, and/or resurfacing) any regions of a bone, it is important to correctly determine the location at which the treatment will take place and how the treatment will be oriented. Accordingly, instruments such as trials have been developed to be used in this part of the procedure. Generally, trials are affixed to the bone during joint kinematic evaluation and removed therefrom after a proper position and orientation for the implant has been determined.
Typically, trials are designed to correspond to an implant in size and shape. In a shoulder arthroplasty procedure, for example, a trial stem may be designed to be temporarily inserted into a prepared medullary canal of the humerus in a manner similar to that of an implant. Known trials may take many forms. For example, an expanding trial stem, such as that described in U.S. Pat. No. 8,216,320, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein, includes a trial stem that may be expanded after insertion into the medullary canal. When using such trial stems, particularly in shoulder replacements, it may be difficult to establish the proper position and orientation for the implant in the humerus. Further, trial cups and heads may be coupled to the trial stem during the trialing procedure. In order to achieve proper deltoid tension in a shoulder arthroplasty procedure, any differences in positioning between the trials and the corresponding implants should be taken into account.
Humeral trial cups and heads of the present invention have connector or shaft portions for coupling the trial cups and heads to a corresponding humeral stem. While the trials are configured to sit flush with the stem, the implant head or cup sits proudly on the stem to ensure their tapered connection features are always properly engaged. A trial adaptor of the present invention is used to take into account the planar distance by which the implant head or cup sits proudly on the stem. The planar distance is defined by the distance between a base surface of the implant head or cup and a neck or contact surface of the stem.
A first aspect of the present invention is an orthopedic trialing system comprising a stem, an adaptor and a cup. The stem has a first coupling feature and a shaft portion adapted to be received in a canal of a bone of a patient. The adaptor has top and bottom surfaces and an aperture through the top and bottom surfaces. The cup has a second coupling feature, wherein one of the first and second coupling features extends through the aperture of the adaptor and at least partially into the other of the first and second coupling features for coupling together the cup, the adaptor and the stem.
In one embodiment of the first aspect, the bottom surface of the adaptor contacts and lies adjacent to a contact surface of the stem when the cup, the adaptor and the stem are coupled together. In another embodiment, when the top surface of the adaptor contacts and lies adjacent to a contact surface of the cup, the adaptor and the stem are coupled together.
According to the first aspect of the present invention, each of the top and bottom surfaces of the adaptor and the contact surfaces of the cup and stem are planar. In one embodiment, the first coupling feature of the stem is a recess, the stem having a contact surface with the recess therein. The second coupling feature of the cup is a protrusion that extends through the aperture of the adaptor and at least partially into the recess of the stem when the cup, the adaptor and the stem are coupled together.
In another embodiment, the first coupling feature is a protrusion, the stem having a contact surface with the protrusion extending outwardly therefrom. The second coupling feature of the cup is a recess and the protrusion of the stem extends through the aperture of the adaptor and at least partially into the recess of the cup when the cup, the adaptor and the stem are coupled together.
In yet another embodiment, the adaptor includes an engagement feature adapted to couple the adaptor to the stem.
In still yet another embodiment, the stem is selected from the group consisting of a broach, a trial stem or a prosthesis stem.
A second aspect of the present invention is an orthopedic trialing system comprising a stem, an adaptor and a cup. The stem has a planar surface and a shaft portion adapted to be received in a canal of a bone of a patient. The adaptor has a thickness defined by a linear distance between top and bottom surfaces thereof. The cup has a planar surface, wherein the planar surface of the stem and the planar surface of the cup are separated by the thickness of the adaptor when the cup, the adaptor and the stem are coupled together.
A third aspect of the present invention is an orthopedic trialing system comprising a stem, an adaptor and a cup. The stem having a shaft portion adapted to be received in a canal of a bone of a patient. The adaptor having top and bottom surfaces and an aperture through the top and bottom surfaces. The cup having a coupling feature for coupling together the cup, the adaptor and the stem.
In each of the above described aspects of the invention, the orthopedic trial system comprises a stem, an adaptor and a cup. However, in other aspects of the present invention, the cup that is used in reverse shoulder cases can be replaced with a head that is used in a total arthroplasty procedure. In other words, the orthopedic trial system in total arthroplasty cases includes a stem, an adaptor and a head.
In describing preferred embodiments of the disclosure, reference will be made to the directional nomenclature used in describing the human body. It is noted that this nomenclature is used only for convenience and that it is not intended to be limiting with respect to the scope of the invention. When referring to specific directions in relation to a device, the device is understood to be described only with respect to its orientation and position during an exemplary application to the human body. As used herein when referring to bones or other parts of the body, the term “proximal” means closer to the heart and the term “distal” means more distant from the heart. The term “inferior” means toward the feet and the term “superior” means toward the head. The term “anterior” means toward the front part or the face and the term “posterior” means toward the back of the body. The term “medial” means toward the midline of the body and the term “lateral” means away from the midline of the body. Further, although the devices and methods described herein are generally described in relation to human shoulder replacements, it should be understood that the devices and methods are not intended to be so limited and could be used with other joints, such as other ball and socket joints, including the hip, for example.
Prior to a total shoulder arthroplasty procedure being conducted, shoulder joint 10 is generally compromised through injury or general wear and tear. A compromised joint generally leads to range of motion difficulty and pain for the patient. In a joint 10 that is compromised, head portion 14 and/or glenoid cavity 21 may be degenerated such that the axis of rotation of the shoulder joint is not in the same location as it was prior to joint 10 being compromised.
The axis of rotation of the shoulder joint varies based upon the type of motion. For flexion and extension, the axis of rotation is a transverse axis though the center of the humeral head. For abduction and adduction, the axis of rotation is a sagittal axis thought the center of the humeral head. For internal and external rotation, the axis of rotation is a vertical axis though the center of the humeral head.
During a total shoulder arthroplasty procedure, the humerus is resected in order to receive a humeral stem component. In such a procedure, the humeral head is generally resected and the shaft of the humerus is reamed to receive the humeral stem component prosthesis. It is important that the humeral stem component be positioned in the correct location and orientation in order to restore the axis of rotation of joint 10. Some humeral stem components may include a flange that is adapted to contact a flat portion of resected bone of the humerus in order to correctly position and stabilize the humeral stem component within shaft 17 of humerus 12 such that the axis of rotation of joint 10 may be restored.
Also during a total shoulder arthroplasty procedure, the glenoid is resected in order to receive a glenoid component. In a shoulder arthroplasty procedure for implanting a reverse shoulder prosthesis, a cavity of the glenoid may be reamed and a guide hole may be drilled in order to receive a central screw extending outwardly from an outer contact surface of the glenoid component. The location and orientation of the guide hole may be based on the shape of the glenoid component, for example, such that the glenoid component can be implanted in the resected glenoid cavity and the axis of rotation of the joint may be restored. It is important that the glenoid component be positioned in the correct location and orientation in order to restore the axis of rotation of joint 10. The glenoid component preferably has an articular surface corresponding to an outer surface of a humeral head component which is engaged to the humeral stem component implanted at least partially within the shaft of the humerus. Generally, the glenoid component has a diameter that is approximately 6 mm in diameter larger than the humeral head component.
As discussed above, humerus 12 must be resected at the correct location and orientation in order for a corresponding humeral stem prosthesis to be accurately implanted in shaft 17 of humerus 12 such that the axis of rotation of the shoulder joint may be restored. Thus, the location and orientation of resection line 30, as shown in
Generally, the replacement of a humeral head with a prosthetic implant during shoulder arthroplasty involves gaining access to the shoulder joint through a retracted incision and removing the damaged humeral head. An exemplary damaged proximal humerus 10′ is illustrated in
Once an appropriate bearing surface 14 and opening is formed for receiving an implant, trialing is conducted to determine the proper size and location for the implant prior to implantation thereof. According to one example of the present disclosure, trialing includes inserting a trial stem 100, as illustrated in
The distal portion 120 of trial stem 100 may be structured to fit within a prepared bone canal, preferably the medullary canal of the humerus 10. Distal portion 120 projects along a longitudinal axis thereof from proximal portion 110 generally in the proximal-to-distal direction. Distal portion 120 may include a first arm 122 and a second arm 124 configured to move away from each other in cooperation with expansion bolt 130, such as that described in U.S. Pat. No. 8,216,320, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein. Distal portion 120, or a portion thereof, may define a cavity or configured to accept expansion bolt 130, the cavity including a mating surface such as threads.
Expansion bolt 130 may generally include a shaft 132 with a pointed distal tip 134. A proximal end of expansion bolt 130 may include a head 136, which may include a recess, such as a hex recess, to cooperate with a correspondingly shaped driving tool (not shown). A proximal end of shaft 132 may include a mating surface, such as threads 138, configured to mate with a corresponding surface in the cavity of distal portion 120. Although proximal portion 110, distal portion 120, and expansion bolt 130 may each be separate pieces prior to assembly, trial stem 100 is preferably provided to the end user as a single piece with the proximal and distal portions permanently connected, for example by welding, with the expansion bolt contained therein.
An exemplary embodiment of stem implant 200 is illustrated in
In order to account for the gap between implant head 525′ and stem implant 500, for example, a humeral trial adaptor 640 as shown for example in
In fracture or similar settings, trial adaptor 640 can therefore be used to account for the differences between the coupling of a trial cup or head with a trial or implant stem and an implant cup or head with an implant stem. During trialing, the surgeon or other operating room personal will use trial adaptor 640 along with a trial cup or head and a trial or implant stem which corresponds to a selected implant cup or head and the implant stem.
