Abstract

A minimally-thick orthopedic prosthesis is described which closely matches the end of a bone of a joint after that bone end has been minimally reshaped and resurfaced by an orbital or lineally oscillating orthopedic resurfacing tool in the minimally invasive orthopedic surgical repair or reconstruction of hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, wrist, and other joints. The original ligament tensions and the varus and valgus alignments of the joint are preserved and the marrow cavities of bones are not invaded avoiding the dangers of blood clots, heart attacks, and other complications.

  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • In current orthopedic surgical total joint replacement, a large amount of bone tissue is typically removed from bone ends in preparation for the installation of a prosthesis. Coumadin is prescribed to thin the blood prior to a knee and hip replacement surgery where those prostheses have shafts that are driven into the femur to mount them to the femur. This drives crushed marrow into the blood stream where it can cause blood clots and heart attacks during and after surgery. In addition, when older patients fall they may break a femur because the tip of the shaft of a hip or knee prosthesis creates peak stress concentrations to occur in the middle of the weakened femur bone shaft. Resultant secondary surgical repair procedures and those required because of an accident or a patient's deteriorating condition may be technically difficult because of the large amount of bone removed during the original surgery. Current surgeries can result in problems of tendon tension and bone alignment with widely varied post-surgical recovery problems for the patient depending upon the skills of the surgeon and the quality of the surgical equipment available. To overcome the problem of the skills of the surgeon some hospitals now use computer driven robotic surgical equipment driven from X-Ray and MRI data which escalates the costs of these surgeries.
  • BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • This minimally-thick surface-matching prosthesis construction is a radical departure from the massive-cast-knuckle type of prosthesis as is typically used in total knee replacement surgery. In this orthopedic surgical repair or reconstruction of the hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, wrist, or other joint, an orbital or lineally oscillating orthopedic resurfacing tool is used which has a culling head so configured as to match an average typical shape of the surface of a particular bone end. A minimally-thick orthopedic prosthesis is created which closely matches the surface of the orthopedic resurfacing tool's cutting head and therefore closely matches the surface of the bone end resurfaced by that cutting head. This minimally-thick surface-matching prosthesis is mounted onto the resurfaced bone end with mechanical attachments and using bone glue both as a bonding agent and to fill the space between the minimally-thick surface-matching prosthesis and the resurfaced bone end. Being fully supported, all anatomical loads born by the joint are uniformly distributed onto the minimally-thick surface-matching prosthesis and to the resurfaced bone end. The minimally-thick surface-matching prosthesis does not enter into the marrow of the bone avoiding the serious dangers of blood clots and heart attack and no broken bones will result from peak stress concentrations in the middle of the femur shaft due to prosthesis shafts driven into the marrow cavities. The patient's original tendon tensions and bone alignments are preserved making recovery from surgery more natural. This type of orthopedic surgery can be performed under minimum surgical conditions without elaborate surgical equipment. Time in surgery and costs of these surgical procedures are reduced, and surgical results will be more uniform and satisfactory. Secondary surgical repair procedures required because of an accident or a patient's deteriorating orthopedic condition will also present less technically difficulty.
  • The invention as here in taught applies to the orthopedic surgical repair or reconstruction of all bone ends in all anatomical joints. However, for purposes of teaching this invention, the embodiments described and illustrated here in relate to the knee joint. It is to be understood that no limitation of the scope of this invention is intended.

  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • In the orthopedic surgical repair or reconstruction of the hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, wrist, or other joint, an orbital or lineally oscillating orthopedic resurfacing tool is used which has a cutting head so configured as to match an average typical shape of the surface of a particular bone end. A minimally-thick orthopedic prosthesis is formed which closely matches the surface of the orthopedic resurfacing tool's cutting head and therefore closely matches the surface of the bone end resurfaced by that cutting head. Because patient's are of different sizes, several sizes of cutting heads and surface-matching minimally-thick orthopedic prostheses may be required for each bone end of each joint. This unique matched-surface relationship between the resurfaced bone end and its surface-matching minimally-thick orthopedic prostheses provides the bone end with a minimally-thick new wear surface and retains the patient's original tendon tensions and varus and valgus bone alignments. This minimally-thick surface-matching prosthesis does not enter into the marrow of the bone avoiding the serious dangers of blood clots and heart attack.

And, secondary orthopedic surgical repair procedures required because of a failed prior surgery or due to an accident or the patient's deteriorating condition may be less technically difficult.
