Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In some embodiments, a revision implant includes a body extending between a first planar surface and a second planar surface and a head extending from the first planar surface of the body. The head is configured to couple the revision implant to at least one additional component of a multi-component prosthesis. At least one coupling mechanism is configured to couple the body to a first bone.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A revision implant, comprising: a body extending between a first planar surface and a second planar surface; a head extending from the first planar surface of the body and configured to couple the revision implant to an additional component of a multi-component prosthesis; at least one coupling mechanism configured to couple the body to a first bone, wherein the at least one coupling mechanism comprises one or more protrusions extending from the second planar surface of the body; and a dome-shaped projection extending from the second planar surface and defining a first fastener hole configured to receive a fastener coupling an augment to the body, where the augment is configured to fill a void of the first bone; wherein the head defines a second fastener hole configured to receive the fastener. 2. The revision implant of claim 1 , comprising said fastener configured to extend through said first and second fastener holes and couple the body of the revision implant to the augment. 3. The revision implant of claim 1 , wherein the head defines a cylindrical-shaped protrusion. 4. The revision implant of claim 3 , wherein the head defines an alignment groove extending from a first side to a second side of the cylindrical-shaped protrusion. 5. The revision implant of claim 1 , wherein the one or more protrusions extend from the second planar surface of the body at a predetermined angle. 6. The revision implant of claim 5 , wherein the predetermined angle comprises an angle between 5-90°.
