Abstract

A hybrid prosthetic femoral component has an outer bearing surface for engaging a tibial bearing and an inner surface for engaging a prepared distal femur. The inner surface having a distal surface, an anterior surface and a posterior surface, wherein said posterior surface has a first surface structure for allowing tissue ingrowth and the anterior and distal surfaces having a second surface structure for contacting bone cement. The first and second structure have different surface characteristics with different properties wherein the first surface structure is a porous surface and the second surface is a non-porous textured surface. The hybrid prosthetic femoral component further comprises an anterior chamfered surface and a posterior chamfered surface wherein the posterior chamfered surface includes the first surface structure and the anterior chamfered surface includes the second surface structure.

Claims

1. A hybrid prosthetic femoral component comprising:

a body having an outer bearing surface for sliding engagement with a tibial bearing, the outer surface includes an anteriorly facing surface, a distally facing surface and a posteriorly facing surface;

the body having an inner surface for engaging a prepared distal femur, said body inner surface having a proximally facing surface opposite the body distally facing outer surface for mounting on a distal femur surface, a body posteriorly facing inner surface opposite the body outer anteriorly facing surface for mounting on an anterior femur surface and body inner anteriorly facing surface opposite the body posteriorly facing outer surface for directly contacting a posterior femur surface, wherein said body inner anteriorly facing surface for directly contacting the posterior femur surface has a first non-waffle pattern porous structure for allowing tissue ingrowth and said inner posteriorly facing and inner proximally facing surfaces for respectively mounting on the anterior and distal femur surface has a second non-porous waffle pattern structure for contacting bone cement; and

the inner surface of the body further comprising a posteriorly facing chamfered surface for mounting on an anterior chamfered surface of the femur and an anteriorly facing chamfered surface for contacting a posterior chamfered inner surface of the femur wherein said anteriorly facing chamfered surface of the hybrid prosthetic femoral component body includes said first porous structure and said posteriorly facing chamfered inner surface includes said second non-porous waffle pattern structure.

2. The hybrid prosthetic femoral component as set forth in claim 1 wherein the anterior, anterior chamfer and distal inner surfaces of the body have a recessed portion.

3. The hybrid prosthetic femoral component as set forth in claim 1 wherein said first porous structure of said femoral component body anteriorly facing chamfer inner surface and said anteriorly facing inner surface is a porous structure formed by beads.

4. The hybrid prosthetic femoral component as set forth in claim 3 wherein the beaded surface has a hydroxyapatite coating.

10. The hybrid prosthetic femoral component as set forth in claim 1 wherein the inner proximally facing surface, the inner anteriorly facing surface, and the inner anteriorly facing chamfered surface are each surrounded by an edge surface extending above the waffle pattern.

5. A hybrid prosthetic femoral component comprising:

an outer bearing surface for engaging a tibial bearing, the outer surface includes an anteriorly facing surface, a distally facing surface and a posteriorly facing surface; and

an inner surface for mating with a prepared distal femur, said inner surface having a proximally facing surface opposite the distally facing outer surface, a posteriorly facing surface opposite the anteriorly facing outer surface, an anteriorly facing surface opposite the posteriorly facing outer surface, a posteriorly facing chamfered surface and an anteriorly facing chamfered surface, the inner surfaces respectively mating with a distal surface, an anterior surface, a posterior surface, an anterior chamfered surface and a posterior chamfered surface of the prepared femur wherein said femoral component inner anteriorly facing surface and said inner anteriorly facing chamfered surface have a first non-waffle pattern porous structure for allowing tissue ingrowth and said inner proximally facing surface, inner posteriorly facing surface and inner posteriorly facing chamfered surface have a second non-porous waffle structure for contacting bone cement.

6. The hybrid prosthetic femoral component as set forth in claim 5 wherein said femoral component inner posteriorly facing surface, inner chamfer surface and inner proximally facing surface have a recessed portion with a defining edge surface adjacent to said first and said second structures.

7. The hybrid prosthetic femoral component as set forth in claim 5 wherein the anteriorly facing surface and anteriorly facing chamfer surface have a beaded tissue ingrowth coating.

8. The hybrid prosthetic femoral component as set forth in claim 7 wherein the beaded surface includes a hydroxyapatite coating.

9. The hybrid prosthetic femoral component as set forth in claim 6 wherein said defining edge surfaces have a non-textured surface.
