Tibial baseplate with asymmetric placement of fixation structures
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A tibial baseplate system comprising:
- a first tibial baseplate comprising;
a first proximal surface;
a first distal surface opposite the first proximal surface;
the first distal surface shaped to be disposed on a proximal resected surface of a tibia;
a first medial face;
a first lateral face opposite the first medial face; and
a first keel extending distally from the first distal surface, the first keel spaced apart from the first medial face by a first medial distance and spaced apart from the first lateral face by a first lateral distance;
wherein the first keel is medially biased toward the first medial face such that first medial distance is less than the first lateral distance; and
a second tibial baseplate comprising;
a second proximal surface;
a second distal surface opposite the second proximal surface, the second distal surface sized and shaped to substantially cover a proximal resected surface of a tibia;
a second medial face;
a second lateral face opposite the second medial face;
a second total width measured between the second medial face and the second lateral face, the second total width differing from the first total width whereby the first and second tibial baseplates comprise unique nominal sizes; and
a second keel extending distally from the second distal surface, the second keel spaced apart from the second medial face by a second medial distance and spaced apart from the second lateral face by a second lateral distance,a first ratio of the first medial distance to the first total width differing from a second ratio of the second medial distance to the second total width.

Abstract
An orthopedic knee prosthesis is provided including a tibial baseplate component having a distal, bone-contacting surface with one or more fixation structures extending distally therefrom, in which the fixation structures are asymmetrically arranged within the baseplate periphery.

11. A tibial baseplate system comprising:
-
a first tibial baseplate comprising; a first proximal surface; a first distal surface opposite the first proximal surface, the first distal surface shaped to be disposed on a proximal resected surface of a tibia; a first medial compartment defined at least in part by a first medial face, a portion of a first anterior face and a portion of a first posterior face; a first lateral compartment opposite the first medial compartment, wherein the first lateral compartment is defined at least in part by a first lateral face, a second portion of the first anterior face and a second portion of the first posted or face; a first keel extending distally from the first distal surface; and a first anterior-posterior axis extending centrally between the first medial and the first lateral compartments throughout a length thereof, the first keel being medially offset from the first axis by a first offset distance, wherein the first offset distance is between 5 mm and 0.5 mm, inclusive; and a second tibial baseplate comprising; a second proximal surface; a second distal surface opposite the second proximal surface, the second distal surface shaped to be disposed on a proximal resected surface of a tibia; a second medial compartment defined at least in part by a first medial face, a portion of a second anterior face and a portion of a second posterior face; a second lateral compartment opposite the second medial compartment, wherein the second lateral compartment is defined at least in part by a second lateral face, a second portion of the second anterior face and a second portion of the second posterior face; a second keel extending distally from the second distal surface; and a second anterior-posterior axis extending centrally between the second medial and the second lateral compartments throughout a length thereof, the second keel being medially offset from the second axis by a second offset distance less than the first offset distance. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A tibial baseplate system comprising:
-
a plurality of tibial baseplates each of a different unique nominal size, each of the plurality of baseplates comprising; a proximal surface; a distal surface opposite the proximal surface, the distal surface shaped to be disposed on a proximal resected surface of a tibia; a medial compartment defined at least in part by a medial face, a portion of an anterior face and a portion of a posterior face; a lateral compartment opposite the medial compartment, wherein the lateral compartment is defined at least in part by a lateral face, a second portion of the anterior face and a second portion of the posterior face; a keel extending distally from the distal surface; and an anterior-posterior axis extending centrally between the medial and lateral compartments throughout its length, the keel being medially offset from the axis by a offset distance; wherein for each of the plurality of tibial baseplates the offset distance differs as a percentage basis of the total width such that a degree of medialization of the keel changes relative to the total width. - View Dependent Claims (17)
