Instrumentation for proximal femoral compaction broaching
First Claim
1. A bone compaction instrumentation kit for compacting bone along a sidewall of a canal formed within a femoral shaft of a femur, the instrumentation kit comprising:
- at least one initial compaction instrument having a proximal portion and a distal broach portion, said broach portion having an exterior compacting surface which, when the broach portion is inserted within the canal, compacts bone along the sidewall without intentionally removing bone from the canal;
at least one second compaction instrument having a proximal portion and a distal broach portion, said broach portion being differently sized and contoured relative to the first compaction instrument and having an exterior compacting surface which, when inserted within the canal, further compacts bone along the sidewall, andat least one third compaction instrument having a proximal portion and a distal broach portion, said broach portion being differently sized and contoured relative to the first and second compaction instruments and having an exterior compacting surface which, when inserted into the canal further compacts bone along the sidewall.

Abstract
Instrumentation for preparing a femur for implantation of a prothesis therein, the femur including a femoral shaft having a femoral canal therein defined by sidewalls, the prosthesis being constructed and arranged to be received within the femoral canal, the instrumentation including: at least one initial compactor instrument having a proximal portion and a distal broach portion, the broach portion being adapted to conform substantially to a proximal end of the femoral canal so as to compact bone in the sidewalls thereof without intentionally removing bone from the femoral canal; a second type of compactor instrument having a proximal portion and a distal broach portion, the secondary compactor instrument portion being constructed and arranged to conform substantially to the shape of the prosthesis so as to further compact bone in the sidewalls of the proximal end of the femoral canal such that the compacted sidewalls conform substantially to the shape of the prosthesis; and a final type of compactor instrument having a proximal portion and an elongated distal broach portion, the elongated broach portion being adapted to extend into the femoral canal and compact bone in sidewalls of the femoral canal at a location distal to previously compacted sidewalls of the proximal end of the femoral canal.

8. A bone compaction instrumentation kit for compacting bone along substantially an entire internal wall of a cavity formed within the bone in preparation for receiving a medical device within the cavity, the instrumentation kit comprising:
-
a first compaction instrument having a proximal portion and a distal portion, said distal portion being configured and sized relative to the dimensions of said cavity whereby an exterior compacting surface of the instrument compacts bone along said internal wall when the distal portion of the first instrument is inserted within the cavity; and at least two additional compaction instruments each having a proximal and a distal portion, said distal portion of the additional compaction instruments being differently sized and contoured relative to one another, and relative to the first compaction instrument, and having exterior compacting surfaces whereby after compaction of bone on the internal wall of the cavity by said first compaction instrument, insertion of successively larger distal portions of the respective additional compaction instruments into the cavity so as to bring the exterior compacting surfaces of the additional compaction instruments into engagement with said internal wall further compacts bone along said internal wall. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)
