Abstract
A modular femoral prosthesis for use during performance of a hip revision procedure includes a proximal body component, a distal stem component, and a locking bolt. Surgical instruments and methods for use in implanting such a modular femoral prosthesis are disclosed.
Claims13
A surgical instrument for use during a surgical procedure to implant an orthopaedic hip prosthesis, comprising:
- a rotary tool implement comprising an elongated shaft having (i) a connector formed in a proximal end of the elongated shaft, the connector being configured to fit into the chuck of a rotary power tool, and (ii) a number of colored depth marks disposed on an outer surface of the shaft, wherein each of the number of colored depth marks has a different color than the other depth marks and is positioned at a location on the elongated shaft corresponding to a predetermined depth of operation of the rotary tool implement.
A surgical instrument assembly for use during a surgical procedure to implant an orthopaedic hip prosthesis, comprising:
- a rotary power tool having a chuck, and
- a rotary tool implement comprising an elongated shaft having (i) a connector formed in a proximal end of the elongated shaft, the connector being secured in the chuck of a rotary power tool, and (ii) a number of colored depth marks disposed on an outer surface of the shaft, wherein each of the number of colored depth marks has a different color than the other depth marks and is positioned at a location on the elongated shaft corresponding to a predetermined depth of operation of the rotary tool implement.
An implantable modular orthopaedic hip prosthesis, comprising:
- an implantable distal stem component having a tapered post formed in an outer surface thereof, the tapered post being configured to be received into a tapered bore of an implantable proximal body component, and
- a taper-protecting sleeve installed on the tapered post, the taper-protecting sleeve being made of polyetheretherketone (PEEK).
