Abstract
An orthopedic prosthesis mold, including a first housing defining a first cavity therein shaped to form a portion of an orthopedic prosthesis; a second housing coupled to the first housing, the second housing defining a second cavity therein shaped to form a portion of an orthopedic prosthesis; and a reinforcement element attached to at least one of the first or second housings, the reinforcement element resisting deformation of the first and second housings. The reinforcement element may include a member exterior to the first and second cavities, the member spanning across a substantial width of the prosthesis mold.
Claims20
An orthopedic prosthesis mold, comprising:
- a first housing defining a first cavity therein shaped to form a portion of an orthopedic prosthesis;
- a second housing coupled to the first housing, the second housing defining a second cavity therein shaped to form a portion of an orthopedic prosthesis;
- and
- a reinforcement element attached to at least one of the first or second housings, the reinforcement element resisting deformation of the first and second housings.
An orthopedic prosthesis mold, comprising:
- a first housing defining a cavity therein shaped to create a portion of an orthopedic prosthesis;
- a second housing defining an injection port and a cavity therein shaped to create a portion of an orthopedic prosthesis, wherein the second housing is at least partially slidably positionable within the first housing;
- and
- a connecting element releasably engageable to an exterior of the first housing, wherein the connecting element is releasably engageable to the second housing at a plurality of positions to prevent separation of the first housing from the second housing.
A method of creating an orthopedic prosthesis, comprising:
- providing a first housing having a cavity therein shaped to create a portion of an orthopedic prosthesis and a second housing defining an injection port and a cavity therein shaped to create a portion of an orthopedic prosthesis, wherein the second housing includes a plurality of indicia indicating a plurality of dimensions for an orthopedic prosthesis;
- slidably positioning at least a portion of the second housing into the first housing to a preselected position indicated by the indicia;
- immovably securing the first housing to the second housing with a connecting element;
- and
- injecting a curable material into the injection port of the second housing.
