Abstract
A revision implant component comprising a body having a plurality of screw holes and a tapered head configured to engage a talar dome component of a multi-component ankle prosthesis. A surgical method is disclosed which includes creating an incision in a patient, exposing a multi-component ankle prosthesis implanted in a patient, disassembling at least one component of the multi-component ankle prosthesis, affixing a revision implant component to non-damaged bone using screws, and coupling the revision implant component to a talar dome of the multi-component ankle prosthesis.
Claims12
A surgical method, comprising:
- creating an incision in a patient;
- exposing a multi-component ankle prosthesis implanted in a patient;
- disassembling at least one component of the multi-component ankle prosthesis;
- affixing a revision implant component to non-damaged bone using screws;
- and
- coupling the revision implant component to a talar dome of the multi-component ankle prosthesis,
- wherein the revision implant component has a body including a head configured to engage a feature of a component of the multi-component ankle prosthesis for coupling the revision implant component to the component of the multi-component ankle prosthesis.
A surgical method, comprising:
- creating an incision in a patient;
- exposing a multi-component ankle prosthesis implanted in a patient;
- disassembling at least one component of the multi-component ankle prosthesis;
- resecting damaged bone adjacent to the at least one disassembled component of the multi-component ankle prosthesis;
- selecting a revision implant component from a kit containing a plurality of a revision implant components based on the desired thickness of the selected a revision implant component as a function of the depth of bone resected;
- affixing the revision implant component to non-damaged bone using screws;
- and
- coupling the revision implant component to a talar dome of the multi-component ankle prosthesis,
- wherein the revision implant component has a body including a tapered head configured to operatively connect with a talar dome of the multi-component ankle prosthesis.
