Definitions
- the present invention relates to a knee prosthesis and more specifically to the device for assembling its tibia plate, which is made of plastic, on its metal base anchored beforehand into the tibia bone tissue.
- Knee prostheses which comprise a plastic tibia part which is free to rotate about the tibia bone axis with respect to the metal base secured to the tibia are known.
- This freedom of rotation is generally achieved via a male shaft integral with the plastic tibia part which engages with a bore made in the metal base.
- this freedom of rotation may be achieved by a male shaft secured to the metal base which engages with a bore made in the plastic tibia part.
- the center of rotation is necessarily positioned at a point of the device or [sic] the bore can be made, that is to say in a part or [sic] there is enough material to make the said bore.
- This arrangement of the center of rotation is not strictly anatomical.
- the volume generated by the tibia bone axis may prevent a posterior cutout from being made in the plastic tibia plate or in the metal base to allow the posterior cruciate ligament to be kept.
- Knee prostheses which comprise a plastic tibia plate which slides freely over the flat surface of the metal base, and the movement of which is limited by one or more cylindrical studs integral with the base communicating with spaces made in the said plastic plate are also known.
- This type of prosthesis has the drawback of not physically embodying an axis of rotation.
- the knee prosthesis according to the present invention is intended to provide a plastic tibia plate which has a degree of freedom in rotation with respect to the metal base.
- the knee prosthesis in accordance with the present invention comprises a metal base and a tibia plate which are equipped with guide means defining a center of rotation which may be offset from that of the tibia bone axis, so as to allow the tibia plate to slide in rotation over the said base, the said guide means being positioned a certain distance away from the center of rotation.
- the knee prosthesis has guide means which consist of at least one upstand in the shape of an arc of a circle secured to the metal base and of a housing with the same radius of curvature made in the plastic tibia plate to allow the latter to slide in rotation about the center of rotation of the said upstand.
- the knee prosthesis according to the present invention comprises guide means which consist of an upstand in the shape of an arc of a circle, which upstand is positioned in the anterior part of the metal base and oriented in a substantially medio-lateral direction.
- the knee prosthesis according to the present invention comprises additional guide means which are positioned on or near to the center of rotation of the tibia plate on the metal base.
- the knee prosthesis according to the present invention comprises additional guide means which are secured to a device making it possible to prevent the tibia plate from lifting from the metal base.
- the knee prosthesis in accordance with the present invention comprises guide means which consist of at least two pegs set out in an arc of a circle and defining a center of rotation, and of a housing of the same radius of curvature formed in the tibia plate.
- the knee prosthesis according to the present invention comprises a metal base which comprises an upstand in the shape of an arc of a circle having a central part secured to lateral edges which are not as tall as the said central part, while the tibia plate comprises, on its lower face, a housing in the shape of an arc of a circle.
- the knee prosthesis according to the present invention comprises an upstand which has a center of rotation which is borne by the tibia bone vertical axis, while the said upstand is a certain distance away from its center of rotation.
- the knee prosthesis according to the present invention comprises an upstand which has a center of rotation which is offset from the tibia bone vertical axis, while the said upstand is a certain distance away from its center of rotation.
- the knee prosthesis according to the present invention comprises a metal base which has two upstands in the shape of an arc of a circle, of constant height and having one and the same center of rotation, while the tibia plate comprises two housings in the shape of an arc of a circle.
- the knee prosthesis according to the present invention comprises upstands which are set out opposite one another, and have one and the same center of rotation.
- the knee prosthesis according to the present invention comprises a metal base which has, opposite the upstand, a retaining peg borne by a center of rotation so as to engage with a cutout formed in the tibia plate to prevent the latter from lifting off the base as the said plate slides in rotation about its center of rotation.
- the knee prosthesis according to the present invention comprises a retaining peg which consists of a cylindrical pin integral with a head which has a larger diameter than the said pin so that the said head engages with inclined faces made in the cutout.

Abstract
The knee prosthesis with rotary plate comprises a metal base (2) and a tibia plate (3) which are equipped with guide means (22, 22′, 22″, 26, 29, 5, 6, 5′, 9, 50, 51, 52, 13, 15, 18; 34, 34′, 34″, 35, 37, 7, 8, 10, 12, 53, 54, 55, 10′, 17) defining a center of rotation (C, C′) which may be offset from that of the tibia bone axis (YY′), so as to allow the tibia plate (3) to slide in rotation over the said base, the said guide means being positioned a certain distance away from the center of rotation (C, C′).
Description
- The present invention relates to a knee prosthesis and more specifically to the device for assembling its tibia plate, which is made of plastic, on its metal base anchored beforehand into the tibia bone tissue.
- Knee prostheses which comprise a plastic tibia part which is free to rotate about the tibia bone axis with respect to the metal base secured to the tibia are known.
- This freedom of rotation is generally achieved via a male shaft integral with the plastic tibia part which engages with a bore made in the metal base.
- Furthermore, this freedom of rotation may be achieved by a male shaft secured to the metal base which engages with a bore made in the plastic tibia part.
- These connecting devices have certain drawbacks, namely the difficulty of inserting the plastic tibia plate once the metal base is in place on the tibia. These drawbacks are exacerbated when the posterior cruciate ligament is being kept, as this restricts access to the upper part of the tibia.
- Furthermore, it is observed that the center of rotation is necessarily positioned at a point of the device or [sic] the bore can be made, that is to say in a part or [sic] there is enough material to make the said bore. This arrangement of the center of rotation is not strictly anatomical.
- It can be seen that the volume generated by the tibia bone axis may prevent a posterior cutout from being made in the plastic tibia plate or in the metal base to allow the posterior cruciate ligament to be kept.

metal base 2 consists of ahorizontal disk 20 secured on one of its faces to ananchoring rod 21 allowing the said base to be fixed into the tibia of a patient. - The
horizontal disk 20 comprises, on the opposite side to therod 21, guide means which consist of anupstand 22 with an exterior profile in the shape of an arc of a circle. In this case, note that the center of rotation C of theupstand 22 is borne by the tibia bone vertical axis YY′. - The
upstand 22 extending vertically above thehorizontal disk 20 has acentral part 23 integral on each side with twovertical edges - In addition, the
upstand 22 is positioned on thehorizontal disk 20 of the metal base 2 a certain distance away from the center of rotation C. - The
tibia plate 3, which is made of plastic, has a flatlower face 30 arranged in a horizontal plane parallel to the plane containing thedisk 20 of the metal base. - On the opposite side to the
face 30 thetibia plate 3 has anupper face 31 with twotracks - The
lower face 30 is pierced with ahousing 34 with the same radius of curvature as theupstand 22 secured to themetal plate 2. - The
housing 34 hascutaways central part 23 and thelateral edges upstand 22. - It can be seen that the
tibia plate 3, and more particularly itslower face 30, is resting on thehorizontal disk 20 of themetal base 2, that theupstand 22 enters thehousing 34. - The latter has dimensions that exceed those of the
upstand 22 so that thetibia plate 3 can slide freely in rotation about the center of rotation C of the said upstand 22 in the direction of the arrow F illustrated in FIG. 1. - The
upstand 22, which is in the shape of an arc of a circle or curved, is positioned in the anterior part of themetal base 2 and oriented in a substantially medio-lateral direction. - FIGS. 4 and 5 show a first alternative form of the
knee prosthesis 1 according to the present invention. - The
knee prosthesis 1 is identical to the one described earlier, that is to say that it comprises ametal base 2 and aplastic tibia plate 3. - The
metal base 2 has, and this is what differentiates it from the one described above, the position of the guide means on thehorizontal disk 20. In effect, the guide means consist of anupstand 22 in the shape of an arc of a circle and the profile of which is similar to the one described earlier, but the center of rotation C′ of which is offset from that C borne by the tibia bone vertical axis YY′. - Note that the center of rotation C′ can be positioned anywhere, either on the
horizontal disk 20 or off it, while at the same time keeping the guide means on the said horizontal disk and more specifically at a particular point. - Just as before, the
upstand 22 provided with itscentral part 23 and itslateral edges housing 34 formed in thelower face 30 of theplastic tibia plate 3 to allow the latter to slide in rotation over themetal base 2 and about the center of rotation C′ in the direction of the arrow F1 in FIG. 4. - The
upstand 22, which is in the shape of an arc of a circle or curved, is positioned in the anterior part of themetal base 2 and oriented in a substantially medio-lateral direction. - FIGS.6 to 8 depict a second alternative form of the
knee prosthesis 1 according to the invention. - The latter comprises a
metal base 2 and aplastic plate 3 similar to those described in FIG. 1, but in which the guide means differ to allow for a better movement of the plate over the base. - Thus, the
metal base 2 equipped with itshorizontal disk 20 integral with itsrod 21 comprises guide means which consist of twoopposed upstands 22′ and 22″ in the shape of an arc of a circle. Theupstands 22′ and 22″ have the same center of curvature which is coincident with the center of rotation C located on the tibia bone vertical axis YY′. - Provision may be made for the center of rotation of the
upstands 22′ and 22″ to differ from the one C, that is to say offset as shown in the first alternative form in FIGS. 4 and 5. - Note too that the
upstands 22′ and 22″ have a constant height over the entire circular-arc-shaped profile. - The
tibia plate 3 has a flatlower face 30 with twoopposed housings 34′ and 34″ intended to receive respectively theupstands 22′ and 22″ of themetal base 2. Thehousings 34′ and 34″ have a radius of curvature identical to that of theupstands 22′ and 22″. - It can be seen when the
tibia plate 3, and more specifically itslower face 30, is resting on thehorizontal disk 20 of themetal base 2, that theupstands 22′ and 22″ enter thehousings 34′ and 34″. - The latter have dimensions greater than those of the
upstands 22′ and 22″ so that thetibia plate 3 can slide freely in rotation about the center of rotation C in the direction of the arrow F3 illustrated in FIG. 6. - FIGS.9 to 11 illustrate a third alternative form of the
knee prosthesis 1 according to the present invention. - The
knee prosthesis 1 is identical to the one described in FIGS. 1 to 3, namely it comprises ametal base 2 and aplastic tibia plate 3. - The
metal base 2 comprises, on itshorizontal disk 20, and on the opposite side to itsanchoring rod 21, guide means which consist of theupstand 22 formed from acentral part 23 and of twolateral edges - Furthermore, the
horizontal disk 20 comprises, at the center of rotation C of theupstand 22 which is borne by the tibia bone vertical axis YY′, a retainingpeg 26 extending vertically above the saiddisk 20. - The retaining
peg 26 constitutes a guide means that is in addition to the guide means formed by theupstand 22. Thus, thepeg 26 is positioned on the center of rotation C of thetibia plate 3 on themetal base 2. - The retaining
peg 26 consists of acylindrical pin 27 integral with ahead 28 whose outside diameter exceeds that of the said pin. - The additional guide means or peg26 is an integral part of the
pin tibia plate 3 from lifting off themetal base 2 when the prosthesis is in motion. - The
tibia plate 3 has, on itslower face 30, thehousing 34 that receives theupstand 22 and acutout 35 with inclined faces 36. When theplate 3 is mounted on thebase 2, this cutout engages with the retainingpeg 26 so that thehead 28 lies above the inclined faces 36. - It can be seen that the retaining
peg 26, when it engages with thecutout 35, allows thetibia plate 3 to be prevented from lifting under a tensile force when the said plate is sliding in rotation F4 on themetal base 2. - FIGS.12 to 14 show a fourth alternative form of the
knee prosthesis 1 according to the invention. - Thus, the
metal base 2 comprises, opposite theupstand 22, and in the region of the center of rotation C which is borne by the tibia bone vertical axis YY′, a centeringpeg 29 extending vertically above thehorizontal disk 20. - The centering
peg 29 extends vertically above thehorizontal disk 20 by a short height, constituting a guide means that is in addition to the guide means formed by theupstand 22. - The centering
peg 29 consists of a short cylindrical pin. - The
plastic tibia plate 3 comprises, on itslower face 30 and opposite thehousing 34, ablind hole 37 intended to receive the centeringpeg 29 when the said plate is fitted onto themetal base 2. - The centering
peg 29 provides a physical embodiment of the center of rotation C of theupstand 22 as thetibia plate 3 slides in rotation over themetal base 2. - The
knee prosthesis 1 illustrated in FIGS. 15 to 17 differs from the one shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 only in the fact that themetal base 2 and theplastic tibia plate 3 respectively comprise acutout 4 and 38 for the passage of the posterior cruciate ligament. - Quite obviously, the
prosthesis 1 shown in FIGS. 15 to 17 works in the same way as the one described in FIGS. 1 to 3. - FIG. 18 shows the
knee prosthesis 1 equipped with itsmetal base 2 and with itstibia plate 3. Themetal base 2 comprises, on itshorizontal disk 20, and more specifically on the opposite side to the anchoringrod 21, anupstand 5 in the shape of an arc of a circle and of variable height. This upstand has a profile which differs from those that make up the upstands described earlier. At the center of rotation C of theupstand 5 there is a second upstand 6 in the shape of an arc of a circle. - The
upstands 5 and 6 engage in housings, not depicted, but formed on theface 30 of thetibia plate 3 to allow the said plate to be guided as it slides in rotation about the center of rotation C, as depicted by the arrow F5. - The
upstand 5, in the shape of an arc of a circle or curved, is positioned in the anterior part of themetal base 2 and oriented in a substantially medic-lateral direction. - The upstand6 constitutes a guide means that is in addition to the guide means formed by the
upstand 5. Thus, the upstand 6 is positioned on the center of rotation C of thetibia plate 3 on themetal base 2. - Provision may be made for the center of rotation of the
upstands 5 and 6 to be offset from the tibia bone vertical axis YY′ without this in any way altering the subject of the invention. - FIGS.19 to 21 depict an alternative form of the
knee prosthesis 1 shown in FIG. 18, namely wherein the upstand 6 is integral with aflange 60 forming a kind of small plate set out in a horizontal plane parallel to the plane containing thedisk 20 of themetal base 2. - The
tibia plate 3 has, on itsface 30,housings upstands 5 and 6 to allow thetibia plate 3 to slide in rotation over themetal base 2 about the center of rotation C and in the direction of the arrow F5. - The
housing 7 has a profile essentially identical to that of theupstand 5, and at the very least, in the shape of an arc of a circle for guiding thetibia plate 3 in its travel. - The
housing 8 has a profile essentially identical to theflange 60 of the additional guide means or upstand 6 for guiding thetibia plate 3 in its travel. - The
housing 8 is pierced with aninternal slot 80 intended to receive theflange 60 of the upstand 6 to achieve a kind of snap-fastening of thetibia plate 3 to thebase 2, so that the said plate cannot lift under a tensile force. - Note that the
upstands 5 and 6 in the shape of an arc of a circle are curved in the same direction and about the same center of rotation C or C′ when the latter is offset from the tibia bone vertical axis YY′. - As in FIG. 15, the
metal base 2 and thetibia plate 3 may respectively comprisecutouts 4 and 38 for the passage of the posterior cruciate ligament. - In FIGS.22 to 24 the
knee prosthesis 1 comprises, on itsmetal base 2, afirst upstand 5′ set out at the external periphery of thehorizontal disk 20. Opposite theupstand 5′ thehorizontal disk 20 is secured to anotherupstand 9 in the shape of an arc of a circle, but the radius of curvature of which is inverted compared with that of theupstand 5′. - The
upstand 5, which is in the shape of an arc of a circle or curved, is positioned in the anterior part of themetal base 2 and oriented in a substantially medio-lateral direction. - The
upstand 9 constitutes a guide means that is in addition to the guide means formed by theupstand 5′. Thus, theupstand 9 is positioned on the center of rotation C of thetibia plate 3 on themetal base 2. - The
upstand 9 has the same center of rotation C as theupstand 5′, but the said center may be offset, depending on the configuration of the knee prosthesis, from the tibia bone vertical axis YY′. - The
upstand 9 is integral with aflange 90, the function of which will be seen more clearly later. - The
tibia plate 3 has, on its lower periphery, that is to say the one that lies between thefaces recess 10 receiving theupstand 5′ when thetibia plate 3 is fitted onto themetal base 2. - On the opposite side to the
recess 10, thelower face 30 is pierced with ahousing 12 into which theupstand 9 can be snap-fastened to, on the one hand, guide theplate 3 as it slides in rotation about its center C, and, on the other hand, retain the said plate to prevent it from lifting off themetal base 2. - In FIGS.25 to 27 the
knee prosthesis 1 comprises themetal base 2, thehorizontal disk 20 of which has, on its external periphery, anupstand 13 in the shape of an arc of a circle integral with aflange 14 directed toward the tibia bone vertical axis YY′. - The
horizontal disk 20 is pierced at the center of rotation C of theupstand 13 with a dish-shaped housing which constitutes a guide means that is in addition to the guide means formed by the saidupstand 13. This upstand, which is in the shape of an arc of a circle or curved, is positioned in the anterior part of themetal base 2 and oriented in a substantially medio-lateral direction. - The
upstand 13 and thehousing 15 may comprise a center of rotation C which is offset from the tibia bone vertical axis YY′. - On its external periphery and between the
faces tibia plate 3 has arecess 10′ in which there is formed ahorizontal slot 16 intended to receive theflange 14 of theupstand 13 as theplate 3 slides in rotation over themetal base 2. - The
lower face 30 is integral with astub 17 with a conical tapering profile capable of engaging with thehousing 15 formed in thehorizontal disk 20 of themetal base 2. - The
upstand 13 equipped with itsflange 14, thehousing 15, therecess 10′ and itsslot 16, and thestub 17 constitute the means of guiding thetibia plate 3 over themetal base 2 as the said plate slides in rotation in the direction of the arrow F5. - In FIGS. 28 and 29, the
metal base 2 of theknee prosthesis 1 comprises, on itshorizontal disk 20, threeperipheral upstands horizontal disk 20. - The
tibia plate 3 comprises, on its external periphery, threeperipheral recesses upstands - The
upstand 51, which is the shape of an arc of a circle or curved, is positioned in the anterior part of themetal base 2 and oriented in a substantially medio-lateral direction. - The
upstands upstand 51. Theupstands tibia plate 3 on themetal base 2. - In FIGS.30 to 32, the
metal base 2 of theknee prosthesis 1 comprises, on itshorizontal disk 20,vertical pegs 18 set out in an arc of a circle about a center of rotation C which may be either borne by or offset from the tibia bone vertical axis YY′. - The
pegs 18 set out in an arc of a circle are positioned in the anterior part of themetal base 2 and oriented in a substantially medio-lateral direction. - In this example, the
tibia plate 3 is identical to the one described in FIGS. 1 to 3, that is to say that itslower face 30 has ahousing 34 intended to receive thepegs 18 for guiding the said plate as it slides in rotation with respect to themetal base 2. - It can be seen that in each example described hereinabove it is possible, as the case may be, for the center of rotation of the upstands or of the pegs either to be offset or not to be offset in order to determine a particular rotational sliding of the
tibia plate 3 with respect to themetal base 2. - Note too that in each example described hereinabove,
cutouts 4 and 38 may or may not be provided for the passage of the posterior cruciate ligament. - Furthermore, it can be seen that the guide means in each example described hereinabove are positioned a certain distance away from the center of rotation C, C′.
- It will be observed that the short height of the upstand or of the pegs, and its anterior position on the
metal base 2 allows theplastic plate 3 to be fitted onto the said base easily using a strictly anterior approach, the plate requiring upward clearance only by the height of the said upstand or of the said pegs as shown in FIG. 21. - It will furthermore be observed that the
plastic plate 3 cannot slide in rotation over themetal base 2 except within the limits set by the difference in dimensions between the housing and the corresponding upstand or peg, and this prevents any undesired excess movement. - This being so, it will be readily understood that a
plastic plate 3 can be obtained in which the dimensions of the housing are identical to those of the upstand or of the corresponding pegs, so as to prevent any travel of the said plate over themetal base 2. This allows the surgeon, according to the particular surgical case, to return to a knee prosthesis system with plastic plate which is fixed to themetal base 2, without having to change the latter.
