Abstract
In one aspect, an orthopaedic prosthetic component is provided. The prosthetic component comprises a base, a porous three-dimensional structure and at least one surface feature extending past a surface boundary of the porous three-dimensional structure to engage a patient's bone.
Claims20
An orthopaedic prosthetic component, comprising:
- a base,
- a porous three-dimensional structure attached to the base and configured to permit bone in-growth, the porous three-dimensional structure including a plurality of struts that are elongate along respective directions of elongation that are angularly offset with respect to the base and extend away from the base to respective farthest projected ends, the farthest projected ends defining an outer surface boundary of the porous three-dimensional structure, and
- a plurality of engagement studs that each extends out relative to the base along a respective central axis, each of the engagement studs extending outwardly from the outer surface boundary of the porous three-dimensional structure, and each of the engagement studs having a respective body and a respective impaction head that extends from the body, wherein the impaction head comprises a triangular prism having first and second parallel triangular faces that are spaced from each other, such that a distalmost outer impact tip, configured to engage a patient's bone, extends from an apex of the first triangular face to an apex of the second triangular face,
- wherein the plurality of engagement studs includes a first number of engagement studs, each of the first number of engagement studs being positioned at a first rotational position about its respective central axis, and a second number of engagement studs, each of the second number of engagement studs being positioned at a second rotational position about its respective central axis, wherein the second rotational position is 90 degrees offset from the first rotational position, and
- wherein a distance is defined between the outer surface boundary and the outer impact tip, the distance being in a range of 0.03 millimeters and 1 millimeter.

- wherein each strut is shorter than each engagement stud,
- wherein an imaginary plane that is perpendicular to the central axes intersects the plurality of engagement studs and the plurality of struts such that respective central strut axes of the struts are angularly offset with respect to the imaginary plane, and each engagement stud of a number of the plurality of engagement studs is 1) non-circular in cross section in the imaginary plane, and 2) rotated about its central axis at an angle of 90 degrees from others of the plurality of engagement studs in the imaginary plane, and
- wherein the struts are elongate along the respective central strut axes.
