Abstract
An elbow prosthesis is provided and may include a first stem component attached to one of a humerus and an ulna, a second stem component attached to the other of the humerus and the ulna, and a joint disposed between and coupling the first stem component and the second stem component to permit relative movement between the first stem component and the second stem component about a first axis. The elbow prosthesis may additionally include a condyle extending from the joint and including an axis of rotation that is eccentric from the first axis.
Claims24
An elbow prosthesis comprising:
- a first stem component for attachment to one of a humerus and an ulna;
- a second stem component for attachment to the other of the humerus and the ulna;
- a joint disposed between and coupling said first stem component and said second stem component to permit relative movement between said first stem component and said second stem component about a first axis;
- and
- a condyle extending from said joint, said condyle rotatably coupled to said joint for rotation about an axis of rotation that is eccentric from said first axis.
