Abstract
Prosthetic systems, specifically acetabular implant systems, each comprising a preformed modular mantle designed to secure an acetabular implant within the acetabulum are disclosed.
Claims39
A modular cement mantle suitable for securing one or more prosthetic components into a bone socket of a joint, said modular mantle comprising an outer surface configured to complement a bone socket of a joint and an inner surface configured to complement a prosthetic component.
A modular prosthetic system for implantation into a mammalian bone socket of a joint, said system comprising:
- a first prosthetic implant having an outer surface and an inner surface;
- and
- a modular mantle having an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein said inner surface of said modular mantle is configured to complement said outer surface of said first implant, and said outer surface of said modular mantle is configured to complement said bone socket of a joint.
A modular cement mantle suitable for securing one or more prosthetic acetabular implants into an acetabulum, said modular mantle comprising an outer surface configured to complement an acetabulum and an inner surface configured to complement a prosthetic acetabular implant.
A modular prosthetic system for implantation into an acetabulum, said system comprising:
- a prosthetic acetabular implant having an outer surface and an inner surface;
- and
- a modular mantle having an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein said inner surface of said modular mantle is configured to complement said outer surface of said implant, and said outer surface of said modular mantle is configured to complement an acetabulum.
