Definitions
- the invention is about the femoral components developed for the surgical treatment of human hip fracture and coxofemoral diseases.
- the invention is especially about the adjustable modular prostheses after the prosthesis' reduction to the acetabulum.
- prostheses are the metallic formations that ensure the connection and function between the acetabulum in the pelvis and the main femur bone after the reduction of fractured or diseased bone in such cases as proximal femoral fracture and the surgical treatment of coxofemoral diseases.
- the said prosthesis consists of three main parts. In the acetabulum, it has a spherical head that allows movement. The component which has the control of the head and ensures the movement transmission to the leg is the neck. On the other end of the neck - which is anatomically appropriate, thin-long, and curved at a certain angle - there is the stem fixing the prosthesis to femur. The stem is located in the medulla.
- the stem In the modals with fixed neck-stem part, the stem is located lengthways in the medulla in femur. As the anteversion angle is set through winding according to the femur, fixing a mistake that might be made shall create a great problem. If there is a problem with the anteversion angle in a cemented prosthesis, you'll need to take the prosthesis out in order to reset the angle. Osteotomy needs to be applied to take out the prosthesis, which shall weaken the bone's strength and create post-treatment problems. It is easier to take out the prosthesis if a cementless stem has been used. However, as the medulla has loosened in that case, a stem of a bigger size needs to be located, and this shall cause the femur's loss of strength.
- the stem is long especially in revision total hip prostheses -combined hip prostheses replacing the acetabulum and the femoral head- and in trochanteric partial prostheses -replacing the femoral head in the fractures in trochanteric area- (trochanter; the upper part of the femur). As a result of this length, there are many problems in calculating the anteversion angle.
- Neck length and offset adjustment are performed in two different ways.
- the neck is long or short according to the size of the stem.
- the mobile neck part is mounted in the stem.
- the other way of neck length and offset adjustment is performed at the head part.
- the head is made for different lengths (small, medium, long, xl).
- neck lengths of the femoral components that are still used are adjusted before reduction on the acetabulum, no matter what kind of femoral components exist. In that case, it is usually not possible to adjust the patient's anatomic neck length.
- Reduction is performed hard if the neck length has been adjusted in accordance with the anatomic measures and femoral head cannot skip the edge of the acetabulum during reduction. In that case, if the reduction has been performed, though rarely, it shall cause the partial prosthesis' protrusion in the acetabulum and movement limitation in the hip. However, it depends on the bone structure, too.
- angle adjustment is made possible through connecting the modular neck to the cylindrical stem.
- These applications are the modular ones consisting of three parts (head, neck, stem) of different geometries and sizes; and ensuring the adjustability of these components according to each other. After fixing the prosthesis; a bolt, socketed system or a notch is used to connect the three components with their final forms and to prevent movement.
- the modular orthopedic hip prosthesis consists of three main components -a stem, a proximal body and a neck-, and that these components are demountable and adjustable. It is also stated that the neck can be adjusted through rotating around the stem, the head part is rotatable and can be adjusted as an axis, and the prosthesis is the one with an inner component that ensures the locking of these movable elements with the help of a bolt.
- an upper body has been improved in order to prevent the negative results of prosthesis.
- the proximal body is in the form to be connected to and detached from the outer body with a conical socketed stem, a conical upper body narrowing downwards named conic end-piece which is sectionally elliptic has been realized.
- the purpose of the invention is, with the help of totally new improvements, to eliminate the present disadvantages of femoral components developed for the surgical treatment of hip fractures and coxofemoral diseases.
- Another purpose of the invention is to decrease the problems that appear during the operations and the postoperative complications related to the prostheses which are still being used.
- At least one inner thread has been used.
- This said inner thread makes the adjustment of the said head through rotating possible and is located in the inner hull of a cylindrical hole of which open side is through the inner head part in the form of a thread canal.
- the neck length and off-set adjustment when the said head is rotated on the neck at least one neck part, the two ends of which have been connected to the head and the stem has been realized.
- This said neck is in the form of a cylindrical bar with threads all over the surface.
- At least one proximal part which has been formed on the neck side of the head has been realized.
- This cylindrical part is in the form of creating degrees in the anatomic dimensions between the head and the neck, and it ensures leaning over the edge of acetabulum. In this way, the head shall not be dislocated from the edge of acetabulum and luxation shall not happen in case of the patient's overmovement. This way, overangled movement of the head (1) and the neck (2) has been limited.
- the said fixing bolt cap is optionally without a head in the form to be embedded in the bolt hole.
- At least one locknut which moves on the said neck and fixes the head on the neck has been formed.
- At least one angled tip which is formed on the stem-side of the said neck, and which ensures movement within the limits of the anatomical angle has been used.
- At least one neck fixing socket which is formed on the said stem on the neck side, which ensures movement within the limits of the anatomical angle and which ensures the standard head-neck-stem angle of 135° has been realized.
- this femoral component is placed on the femur, it is easily located on its place (acetabulum) on the pelvis (reduction) and the anteversion angle of the patient can easily be adjusted according to his/her anatomical dimension.
- the angle between the said neck and the angled tip is characterized with X.
- the direction of the neck fixing socket is changed to the Q degrees which is the angle between the neck fixing socket and neck axis.
- connection surface of the said angled tip in order to ensure the connection of the said angled tip and the neck fixing socket that are clamped together, has a longitudinal intricate notch form. In one of the preferred applications of the invention, in order to ensure the connection of the said angled tip and the neck fixing socket that are clamped together, the connection surface of the said neck fixing socket has an intricate notch form.
- a thread has been opened and a double component prosthesis with a fixed neck-stem and a mobile head part has been formed.
- the said thread has been opened, the neck (2) and stem (3) anteversion angle is fixed and these components are connected in a way that they can not open.
- At least one round pinned stem which is connected to the femur, which has lengthwise chamfers to prevent rotation in the femoral medulla has been realized.
- the neck can be adjusted and connected through rotating.
- the anteversion angle of the head in order to ensure that the anteversion angle of the head can be adjusted after the said pinned stem has been placed in the medulla and in order to ensure its connection to the pinned stem, at least one rotatable upper body part which has been formed below the said neck, and which ensures connection to the said pinned stem through adjustment. So that this rotatabl ⁇ upper body said can accord with the defect in the femur; the neck is placed over the rotatable upper body.
- the said prosthesis can become a revision total hip prosthesis or a partial prosthesis for trochanteric fractures when necessary. In this way, the anteversion angle of the head part can be adjusted after the said pinned stem has been placed in the medulla.
- At least one rotatable lower body which is formed below the neck and which can be connected to the said pinned stem through adjustment has been realized. So that this rotatable lower body can accord with the defect in the femur, it has been placed below the rotatable lower body.
- the said prosthesis can become a revision total hip prosthesis or a partial prosthesis for trochanteric fractures when necessary. In this way, the anteversion angle of the head part can be adjusted after the said pinned stem has been placed in the medulla.
- At least one stem pin has been placed.
- This stem pin said has been formed on the rotatable upper body or on the rotatable lower body side of the said pinned stem.
- At least one nut fixing tip with threads on which is formed on the upper part of the said stem pin has been formed.
- At least one fixing nut which is connected to the said nut fixing tip and which ensures fixation has been formed.
- At least one left bolt fixing hole which has been formed as a hole on the upper part of the stem pin and which has threaded notches on has been realized.
- At least one left bolt which is connected to the left bolt fixing socket and which prevents the bolt from loosening has been formed.
- femur in case of a problem about the anteversion angle or the neck length after the placement of the prosthesis, femur shall not be operated on as the stem isn't taken out of the femur in order to be fixed. For this reason, the durability and the maintainability of the femur shall not deteriorate. Thence, the prosthesis shall create great advantages in preventing complications and shortening the duration of the operation.

- the application of the invention presented in the figures is the adjustable modular hip prosthesis in order that the problems encountered during operations and postoperative complications can be decreased.
- the hip prosthesis has been formed on the basis of three main principles;
- the diameter of the head extension (1.1 ) of the prosthesis is proportional with the anatomical neck diameter and the anatomical head diameter. As it keeps the hip movements within the limits of anatomical limits, it reduces postoperative luxation complications.
- the neck (2) length is adjusted before the reduction is applied in the femoral components that are used at present. As this is usually not made in anatomical dimensions, the cases of postoperative complications such as postoperative luxation and limping are widely seen.
- the ideal neck length adjustment can be made after each component has been placed and reduced in their place in the pelvis (acetabulum). This way, femur acetabulum stabilization can be adjusted in accordance with the anatomical dimensions.
- hip muscle balance, especially the abductor muscle group shall work within the anatomical limits and a remedy for the patient's postoperative complications has been found.
- all the components of a system are placed and the results are obtained after the final adjustments. However, this opportunity does not exist in the other prostheses used at present.
- a thread has been opened on the whole surface of the neck seen in Figure 1a and 1b.
- the neck (2) on which a thread has been opened it is possible to adjust the hip prosthesis according to anatomical dimensions, and during the surgical operation, it is possible to change the position of the head (1) -if necessary- without moving the stem (3). It is also possible to adjust the position of the head part (1 ) after it has been placed on the acetabulum (reduction).
- One end of this neck (2) is connected to the head (1 ) and the other end is connected to the stem (3) in a way to move through rotating.
- the neck is in the form of a cylindrical bar with threads all over the surface.
- the neck (2) consists of two parts: The threaded neck (2) part on which the head (1 ) is placed and the angled tip part (2.1 ) which is placed in the stem (3). It has the diameter to accord with all kinds of heads.
- the head part (1) seen in Figures 4c and 4d is spherical and a cylindrical hole has been opened on it.
- the hull of the hole is inner threaded (1.2).
- the diameter of the cylindrical hole is the same measure with the inner thread (1.2) in the hull. For this reason, the head (1) is placed on the neck (2) and can be totally approximated to the stem (3) through rotating clockwise, and it can be abducted from the stem (3) through rotating anticlockwise.
- the head extension (1.1 ) on the stem (3) side of the head (1 ) is proportional with neck diameter/head diameter in anatomical dimensions.
- neck diameter/head diameter in anatomical dimensions.
- an inner thread which is compatible with the neck diameter and thread has been opened.
- the head extension (1.1) is in the form to be tightened with a wrench ( Figure 4e).
- FIG 4c there are heads (1 ) of different diameters from 38 to 60 millimeters for partial prosthesis which replace the femoral head.
- a extension which is proportionally measured to the neck diameter and the head diameter in anatomical dimensions has been placed.
- This said part is the head extension (1.1 ).
- This extension seen in Figure 4a exceeds the geometrical spherical line of the head (1) so that the head extension (1.1 ) can reduce the extreme movement limit through leaning over the upper end of the acetabulum (12.3) in case of an extreme movement of the hip.
- This situation prevents the luxation of the femoral head as the lower end of the acetabulum (12.2) and the head (1) apex get locked.
- a head (1) with diameters of 32-28-26 millimeters have been used for the total hip prostheses (operations in which the femoral head and the acetabulum are changed together).
- a extension of which thickness is proportionally measured to the neck diameter and the head diameter in anatomical dimensions has been placed in the front part (the stem side) of the head (1 ).
- the head extension (1.1 ) leans over the upper end of the acetabulum (12.3) and reduces the movement limit; so it prevents luxation of the femoral head as the head (1 ) apex cannot exceed the lower end of the acetabulum (12.2) ( Figure 4a) and the head (1 ) apex get locked.
- the front view of the head (1) is presented in Figure 4e.
- the circular head extension (1.1 ) passes to the neck (2) of the heads (1) and it presents the anatomical neck (2) thickness.
- the neck side of this part has been shaped in the form to be adjusted by the nut wrench.
- the fixing bolt (1.4) is placed in a randomly chosen bolt hole (1.3).
- the cap of the fixing bolt (1.4) is embedded in the bolt hole (1.3), and there is preferably no cap.
- the locknut (6) is used to fix the head (1 ) on an appropriate place on the neck ( Figures 1a, 2, 3a and 4f).
- the locknut (6) placed on the neck (2) ensures the locking after the neck (2) length is adjusted through rotating the head (1 ) over the neck (2).
- the locknut (6) is approximated to the head through rotating.
- the head (1) is fixed on the neck (2) through rotating on the reverse directions with nut wrenches placed on the head extension (1.1 ) and the locknut (6) each.
- a nut wrench is placed on each the head extension (1.1 ) and the locknut (6), the wrenches are tightened through strongly turning to the reverse directions; this way the head (1 ) is fixed on where it has been adjusted on the neck (2) and it cannot move.
- the fixing bolt (1.4) is placed on the chosen fixing hole (1.3) during the operation and the fixing process is completed.
- This method is one of the reliable ones which is still frequently used in technology; in dynamic, heavy load and vital systems. In spite of this fact, the system has been consolidated with a fixing bolt (1.4) added.
- the application of 1 st Type Adjustable Modular Prosthesis (Figure 1a), The head (1 ), neck (2) and stem (3) are the three separate modular femoral components. It can be used as both partial and total prosthesis.
- the femoral bone's forward angling adjustment according to its stem (anteversion angle) can be performed after or before the reduction to the acetabulum through locating a head (1 ) on the modular neck (2).
- the part on which the head of the prosthesis is placed as in Figure 1 a is the neck (2). It has standard and different length models. The diameter of the neck and the thread are compatible with the cylindrical hole and the inner thread (1.2) on the heads.
- the part connecting the neck (2) to the stem (3) seen in Figure 1b is the angled tip (2.1 ).
- the stem (3) is the part which ensures the connection of the prosthesis to the femur.
- the mounting canal of the angled tip (2.1 ) on the stem (3) to the stem is the neck fixing hole (3.1 ).
- the longitudinal recesses and indents on the angled tip (2.1 ) have been made on the hull of this canal in the same size.
- the neck (2) is detached from the stem (3) with its apparatus again and the angle is readjusted.
- the angled tip (2.1 ) is placed on the neck fixing hole (3.1) on the stem (3), and it makes the adjustment and fixation of the neck (2) according to the stem (3) possible.
- the hull of the neck fixing holes (3.1 ) is also compatible with the angled tip (2.1 ), it has recessed and indented notches.
- the X angle exists between the threaded neck (2) and the angled tip (2.1 ) with which the neck (2) is connected to the stem (3) as seen in Figure 1 b.
- This angle ensures that the femur is angled forward according to its stem (anteversion angle) when the neck is rotated to the right or left.
- the X angle ensures the abduction or approximation of the head (1)-neck (2) axis from/to the central line with the angled tip (2.1) rotating in the neck fixing hole (3.1 ) when the neck (2) is rotated; as a result, it ensures the adjustment of the anteversion angle.
- the Q angle exists between the neck axis (4) and the hole axis (5).
- Q angle is the one between the hole axis that passes through the central axle of the neck fixing hole (3.1 ) in the stem (3) and the neck axis in the head-neck axle.
- the standard angle of 135° between the neck (2) and the stem (3) should also be stable. For this reason, as much as the drift created by the X angle, there is a Q angle between the neck (2) axis and the angled tip (2.1 ) axis in the reverse direction. This way, the standard inclination angle of 135° between the standard neck (2) and the stem (3) has been obtained, through adjusting an alternate angle with the Q angle as much as the drift of the X angle.
- the angle between the head (1) - neck (2) central axis and the stem (3) central axis shall not change when the anteversion angle has been adjusted through rotating the neck (2).
- the inclination angle (7) namely the angle of neck inclination, stays stable at 135° ( Figure 1a).
- the stem (3) is placed on the femur. According to the stem's (3) placement on the femur, anteversion angle is applied on the neck (2) and the neck (2) is placed on the stem (3). Then the locknut (6) is placed on the neck (2) and it is approximated to the stem (3) through rotating clockwise. The appropriate one of the heads (1 ) of different sizes represented in Figures 4c and 4d is placed on the neck (2) through rotating clockwise. Then, it is approximated to the stem (3) through rotating (figure 4g). Reduction is applied to the acetabulum (9) ( Figures 4g and 4h). The head (1 ) is abducted from the stem (3) through being rotated over the neck (2) anticlockwise.
- the neck length is adjusted until the anatomical stabilization to the femur's hole in the pelvis (acetabulum) is obtained and the forward angling of the femur according to its stem (anteversion angle) is checked. If it's not proper, the head (1 ) is loosened through rotating and the anteversion angle is readjusted. It is checked as in the first processes. Once the appropriate anteversion angle and neck (2) length have been adjusted; the iocknut (6) is rotated anticlockwise and is approximated to the head (1). A nut wrench is placed on both the head extension (1.1 ) and the locknut (6); the wrenches are rotated on reverse directions and tightened; then the fixing bolt (1.4) is placed and the operation is completed (Figure 4h).
- FIGs 1c, 1d and 1e the prosthesis' views while the neck (2) is being rotated on the stem (3) are shown.
- the neck is mobile, the upper part of the stem (3) is thicker.
- such prostheses can be used for bones having a femoral head with a longer diameter than 42 millimeters.
- the femur has a smaller head or a smaller femoral medulla (atrophic) exists; prosthesis with a stable neck is suggested.
- FIG. 2 The application of 2 nd Type Adjustable Modular Prosthesis (Figure 2); It is used as partial and total hip prosthesis.
- Figure 2 a modular type with two components has been applied: The head (1) is modular and the neck (2)-stem (3) are combined. The anteversion angle is adjusted during the placement of the prosthesis' stem (3). As the stem (3) is in different sizes, it can be used on all sizes of femur.
- the neck (2) has the diameter to accord with all heads (1 ) and it is threaded.
- the stem (3) is placed on the femur and the anteversion angle is adjusted, the locknut (6) is placed and it is approximated to the stem (3) through rotating. Then, the appropriate head is located on the neck (2) through rotating clockwise. Then, it is approximated to the stem (3) through rotating ( Figure 4g).
- Reduction is applied to the acetabulum.
- the head (1) is abducted from the stem (3) through rotating anticlockwise.
- the neck length is adjusted until the anatomical stabilization to the acetabulum has been applied. The stabilization is checked through moving the hip. Then, the locknut (6) is rotated anticlockwise and it is approximated to the head (1 ).
- a nut wrench is placed on each the head (1 ) and the locknut (6), and they are tightened through strongly turning to the reverse directions. Then, the fixing bolt (1.4) is placed and it is tightened, too (1.4) Figure 4h). No kind of change shall occur in the neck length. If any problem appears later on, the same process is performed through loosening.
- the application of 3 rd Type Adjustable Modular Prosthesis is the partial hip prosthesis for trochanteric fractures and the revision total hip prosthesis; it is a modular type with three components: head (1) - neck (2) - stem (3).
- Total prosthesis is the combined prosthesis which replaces the acetabulum and the femoral head.
- Partial prosthesis is the one which replaces the femoral head.
- Trochanter the upper part of the femur situated at the junction of the neck.
- the neck (2) there are two models for connecting the neck (2) to the pinned stem. If the neck has been located near the upper end of the body, it is in the form of a rotatable upper body (2.2); if it has been located near the lower end of the body, it is in the form of a rotatable lower body (2.3).
- the pinned stem (8) part of the revision total hip prosthesis and the trochanteric partial prosthesis is presented in Figure 3b.
- the pinned stem (8) is the stem part of the revision hip prosthesis. It has a round shape. Longitudinal recesses exist on the surface of the pinned stem (8) so that it won't rotate in the femur. It has numerous models with the diameter of 14 to 20 mm, and with the length of 180 to 300 mm.
- the revision hip prosthesis consists of the montage of the pinned stem (8) to either the rotatable upper body (2.2) or the rotatable lower body.
- a thread has been opened for the fixing nut (8.1 ) and a channel has been opened on its top for the left bolt (8.2).
- the fixing nut (8.1) moves on the nut fixing tip (8.3) shown in the Figures 3a and 3b.
- the left bolt (8.2) is connected to the left bolt fixing hole shown in Figures 3a and 3b.
- the fixing nut (8.1 ) stabilizes the pinned stem (8) with either the rotatable upper body (2.2) or the rotatable lower body (2.3) according to the terms of service of the revision hip prosthesis. Once the fixing nut (8.1) has been placed ant tightened, the left bolt (8.2) is placed and tightened. As the fixing nut (8.1) shall not loosen in such case, the rotatable upper body (2.2) or the rotatable lower body (2.3) shall not loosen, either.
- Either the rotatable upper body (2.2) or the rotatable lower body (2.3) is mounted on the pinned stem (8) according to the femoral defect.
- the neck (2) parts of both models have several lengths to meet the needs.
- the stem part of the pinned stem (8) components is in the form to accord with the femoral medulla and to prevent rotation.
- the pinned stem is placed in the medulla (in the femur). Then, the rotatable body (2.2 or 2.3) of the appropriate neck (2) is located in the stem pin (8.6) of the pinned stem (8) after the adjustment of the anteversion angle.
- the fixing nut (8.1) is slightly placed through tightening.
- the locknut (6) and the necessary head (1) is placed on the threaded neck (2) through rotating and it is approximated to the pinned stem (8), reduction is applied to the acetabulum.
- the head is abducted from the pinned stem (8) through rotating and the neck length is adjusted.
- the anteversion angle and stabilization are checked.
- the head (1) is approximated to the pinned stem (8) through rotating and the neck (2) length is shortened.
- the fixing nut (8.1 ) is loosened and the anteversion angle is adjusted through rotating the rotatable body ( Figures 2.2, 2.3) without causing the prosthesis' luxation.
- the head (1 ) is rotated again and is abducted from the pinned stem (8); the neck length and the off-set adjustment are performed.
- the locknut (6) is rotated and approximated to the head (1 ).
- a nut wrench is placed on the head extension (1.1) and the locknut each and tightened; so the head is stabilized.
- the fixing bolt (1.4) is placed on the bolt hole (1.3) and it is tightened.
- the fixing nut (8.1 ) is tightened.
- the left bolt (8.2) is placed on the left bolt fixing hole (8.4) and the operation is completed.
- the neck (2) used is placed in accordance with its type, the head (1 ) is placed, anteversion angle and neck length adjustment are made and the technical processes are completed.
- the stem is not taken out of the femur, the durability and the maintainability of the femur shall not deteriorate. For this reason, as the stabilization lasts; there are vital advantages such as early postoperative movement, the serious decrease in complications and the shortening operation duration.
- the neck diameter is shortened in order to increase the range of hip movement.
- the diameter is measured 16/14, 14/12 and researches are made to have an even shorter diameter.
- the neck diameter decreases, the movement limits of the femoral head in the acetabulum increases; the hip movements exceed the anatomical movement limits and spoil the acetabulum-femur stabilization; and it is not compatible with the hip anatomy. This situation is one of the postoperative luxation reasons.
- femur In the skeleton examination, femur is the thinnest part and it is where the spherical shape of the head geometrically ends.
- the ratio of the vertical diameter of the femoral neck to the femoral head diameter is calculated between 72% and 78 %; and that of the neck's front-back diameter is calculated between 62% and 72%.
- the anatomic ratio is stated to be 3/4*.
- Press-fit 12/14 system partial prosthesis neck diameter/head diameter ratio is between 20% and 32%. This ratio is 38% in total hip prosthesis with the head diameter of 32 mm; and 43% in total prostheses with the head diameter of 28 mm.
- the range of movement is near the adult's range of hip movement.
- the range of movement shown in Figure 4b is wide and the locking of the acetabulum lower end (12.2) with the femoral head's apex disappears. In that case, the hip is stabilized by only the muscle balance.
- the head's movement axis (10) direction is shown.
- the acetabulum lower end shall not get locked with the head (1 ) apex in case of a simple, sudden and uncontrolled movement; it shall cause luxation.
- FIGS 4a and 4b the acetabular range of movement and hip stabilization of the prostheses with a thin neck (with diameters of 12 mm), with a thick head extension (1.1) made according to the head/neck anatomical diameter ratio is shown.
- the head's movement axis (10) that causes luxation and the limited head movement axis (11 ) with which luxation is prevented are shown in the figures.
