Abstract
Abstract A joint prosthesis component for implantation in the end of a bone is provided. The component comprises a collar which holds a stem in a fixed position. The envelope of the bone engaging surface of the collar has a shape and size which corresponds to the shape and size of the cancellous bone at the end of the bone in that the envelope of the collar is more ovoid than round, having a larger diameter which lies medially to laterally and a smaller diameter which lies anteriorly to posteriorly when the component is implanted in the end of the bone. In certain preferred embodiments, the collar, but not the stem, is porous coated.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
A prosthesis for implantation in an end of a bone, said bone having an inner core of cancellous bone and an outer wall of hard bone, said prosthesis comprising: (a) an elongated collar having first and second ends, said collar having a bone engaging outer surface which defines an envelope, the cross section of the envelope in the region of the first end having a larger dimension in a first direction and a smaller dimension in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction so that said cross section is substantially oval; and (b) means for holding a stem means carrying a joint motion surface in a fixed position; whereby the envelope has a shape and size which generally corresponds to the shape and size of the cancellous bone at the end of the bone in which the prosthesis is implanted.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
141 words
A prosthesis for implantation in an end of a bone, said bone having an inner core of cancellous bone and an outer wall of hard bone, said prosthesis comprising: (a) an elongated collar having first and second ends, said collar having a bone engaging outer surface which defines an envelope, the cross section of the envelope in the region of the first end having a larger dimension in a first direction and a smaller dimension in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction so that said cross section is substantially oval; and (b) means for holding a stem means carrying a joint motion surface in a fixed position; whereby the envelope has a shape and size which generally corresponds to the shape and size of the cancellous bone at the end of the bone in which the prosthesis is implanted.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
The prosthesis of claim 1 wherein the cross section of the envelope in the region of the second end is substantially round.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
The prosthesis of claim 1 wherein the bone engaging outer surface of the collar is porous coated.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
178 words
A prosthesis for implantation in an end of a bone, said bone having an inner core of cancellous bone and an outer wall of hard bone, said prosthesis comprising first and second parts wherein: (a) the first part includes: (i) first means defining a joint motion surface; and (ii) a stem which extends into the second part, said stem being attached to said first means; and (b) the second part includes: (i) means for holding the first part in a fixed position; and (ii) an elongated collar having first and second ends, said collar having a bone engaging outer surface which defines an envelope, the cross section of the envelope in the region of the first end having a larger dimension in a first direction and a smaller dimension in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction so that said cross section is substantially oval, whereby the envelope has a shape and size which generally corresponds to the shape and size of the cancellous bone at the end of the bone in which the prosthesis is implanted.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
178 words
A prosthesis for implantation in an end of a bone, said bone having an inner core of cancellous bone and an outer wall of hard bone, said prosthesis comprising first and second parts wherein: (a) the first part includes: (i) first means defining a joint motion surface; and (ii) a stem which extends into the second part, said stem being attached to said first means; and (b) the second part includes: (i) means for holding the first part in a fixed position; and (ii) an elongated collar having first and second ends, said collar having a bone engaging outer surface which defines an envelope, the cross section of the envelope in the region of the first end having a larger dimension in a first direction and a smaller dimension in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction so that said cross section is substantially oval, whereby the envelope has a shape and size which generally corresponds to the shape and size of the cancellous bone at the end of the bone in which the prosthesis is implanted.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words
The prosthesis of claim 4 wherein the cross section of the envelope in the region of the second end is substantially round.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
17 words
The prosthesis of claim 4 wherein the bone engaging outer surface of the collar is porous coated.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
17 words
The prosthesis of claim 6 wherein the outer surface of said first part is not porous coated.
