US 12,414,862 B2 · Systems and methods for providing a tibial baseplate system

Abstract

A tibial baseplate system is described. While the system can include any suitable component, in some instances, it includes tibial baseplate having a first and second surface, the second surface being substantially opposite to the first surface, which is configured to be seated on a resected surface at a proximal end of a tibia. In some cases, the baseplate also includes a first spacer coupling that is configured to couple a first spacer to at least one of a lateral side and a medial side of the baseplate such that the spacer is disposed between, and is configured to maintain a set minimal distance between, the proximal end of the tibia and a distal end of a femur when the tibial baseplate is seated on the resected surface at the proximal end of the tibia and the spacer is coupled to the tibial baseplate. Other implementations are discussed.

Dependent claims

A tibial baseplate system, comprising:

a tibial baseplate having:
a first surface that is configured to be seated on a tibia;
a second surface;
an anterior end portion;
a posterior end portion;
a lateral side portion;
and
a medial side portion;
and
a cutting block guide that runs from the anterior end portion towards the posterior end portion at the second surface of the tibial baseplate, wherein the cutting block guide is configured to slidingly couple to a femoral cutting block,
wherein the tibial baseplate further comprises a spacer guide that extends from the anterior end portion of the tibial baseplate toward the posterior end portion, the spacer guide being configured to slidingly couple with a spacer block having a coupler that is configured to slidingly couple with the spacer guide.
