Abstract
A femoral prosthesis system for an orthopaedic hip implant and method of use is disclosed. The prosthesis system includes a femoral stem component that includes a core body and a casing that encases the core body. The casing can be additively manufactured such that the core body defines a predetermined orientation in the core body among a plurality of permissible predetermined orientations. The femoral stem component can further include a neck and a trunnion that extends from the neck. The neck can extend out with respect to the core body at a predetermined angle within a range of permissible predetermined angles.
Claims20
An orthopaedic implant system comprising:
- a first femoral prosthesis and a second femoral prosthesis each defining a medial side and a lateral side opposite the medial side along a medial-lateral direction, and an anterior side and a posterior side opposite the anterior side along an anterior-posterior direction, each of the first and second femoral prostheses including:
- a core that includes:
- i) a core body elongate along a core body axis, the core body defining an outer core body surface;
- and
- ii) a neck monolithic with the core body, wherein the neck extends out with respect to the core body along a central neck axis,
- wherein the core of the first femoral prosthesis is substantially identical to the core of the second femoral prosthesis;
- and
- a porous casing that encases at least a portion of the core body, the porous casing defining an inner casing surface that extends along the outer core body surface, and an outer casing surface that is opposite the inner casing surface,
- wherein the outer casing surface defines a central outer casing axis,
- wherein each of the first femoral prosthesis and the second femoral prosthesis includes a geometry that includes at least one of a selectable neck angle defined by the central neck axis and the central outer casing axis, a neck offset that extends from the neck to the casing along the central neck axis, and a rotational position of the core body relative to the outer casing surface about an axis that substantially perpendicular to each of the anterior-posterior direction and the medial-lateral direction, and
- wherein the geometry of the first femoral prosthesis is different than the geometry of the second femoral prosthesis, and
- wherein the rotational position of the core body relative to the outer casing surface varies a distance between the core body and at least one of a posterior casing side of the casing, an anterior casing side of the casing that is opposite the posterior casing side, a medial casing side of the casing, and a lateral casing side of the casing that is opposite the medial casing side.

- wherein the geometry of the first femoral prosthesis is different than the geometry of the second femoral prosthesis, and
- wherein the rotational position of the core body relative to the outer casing surface varies a thickness of each of an anterior casing side of the casing and a posterior casing side of the casing that is opposite the anterior casing side.
