Abstract
A surgical implant with recesses adapted to capture fixation medium that extravasates during implantation. The implant includes an elongated stem having a distal tip configured for insertion into an implant receiving area of a patient. A collar having recesses for capturing extravasating fixation medium is attached on the stem. The collar can be fixed to the stem by a separable collar-engagement feature or the collar can be fixed to the stem via structures on the stem.
Claims16
An implant comprising:
- a collar having a proximate end, a distal end opposite the proximate end, an inner through bore extending therebetween, an exterior surface extending between the proximate and distal ends, a distal surface located adjacent the distal end for directly contacting a resected bone located adjacent an implant receiving area in a patient, and at least one recess configured to receive extravasating fixation medium, and external threads,
- an elongated stem having a distal tip and a proximate end opposite the distal tip, and a collar-engagement feature having internal threads,
- wherein the collar is configured to attach to the elongated stem, and the external threads of the collar are rotatably engageable with the internal threads of the collar-engagement feature, and
- wherein the at least one recess extends from the distal surface into the collar and is located between the inner through bore and the exterior surface so as to be separated from the exterior surface, the at least one recess including a plurality of recesses, and wherein the collar is configured with one or more areas of internal space connecting two or more of the plurality of recesses, whereby the volume of fixation medium that can be taken in by the implant is maximized.

An implant comprising:
- a collar having a proximate end, a distal end opposite the proximate end, an inner through bore extending therebetween, an exterior surface extending between the proximate and distal ends, a distal surface located adjacent the distal end for directly contacting and configured to abut a resected bone located adjacent an implant receiving area in a patient, at least one recess configured to receive extravasating fixation medium, and external threads,
- an elongated stem having a distal tip and a proximate end opposite the distal tip, and a collar-engagement feature having internal threads, and
- wherein the at least one recess extends from the distal surface into the collar and is located between the inner through bore and the exterior surface so as to be separated from the exterior surface, the at least one recess including a plurality of recesses, and wherein the collar is configured with one or more areas of internal space connecting two or more of the plurality of recesses, whereby the volume of fixation medium that can be taken in by the implant is maximized.
