Abstract

A modular femoral prosthesis for use during performance of a hip revision procedure includes a proximal body component, a distal stem component, and a locking bolt. Surgical instruments and methods for use in implanting such a modular femoral prosthesis are disclosed.

Claims (33)

1. A method of performing a surgical procedure to implant an orthopaedic hip prosthesis, comprising:

advancing a reamer distally into an intramedullary canal of a patient's femur,

operating a rotary tool coupled to a proximal end of the reamer to rotate the reamer about its longitudinal axis to remove bone tissue from the patient's femur,

removing the rotary tool from the proximal end of the reamer,

installing a reamer guide shaft onto the proximal end of the reamer positioned in the intramedullary canal of the patient's femur,

advancing a finishing rasp distally over the reamer guide shaft, and

oscillating the finishing rasp back and forth about the longitudinal axis of the reamer to remove bone tissue from the patient's femur.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein oscillating the finishing rasp comprises oscillating the finishing rasp back and forth so as to remove bone tissue from a cortex of the patient's femur.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the finishing rasp comprises (i) an elongated shaft having a bore formed therein, and (ii) a cutting head secured to, and extending away from, a distal end of the shaft, and

advancing the finishing rasp distally over the reamer guide shaft comprises advancing a proximal end of the reamer guide shaft into the bore formed in the elongated shaft of the finishing rasp.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein:

the finishing rasp further includes a handle secured to an opposite, proximal end of the elongated shaft, and

oscillating the finishing rasp comprises manually oscillating the finishing rasp back and forth with the handle so as to remove bone tissue from the patient's femur.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein:

the finishing rasp further includes a depth stop positioned in the bore formed in the elongated shaft, and

oscillating the finishing rasp comprises oscillating the finishing rasp back and forth to remove bone tissue from the patient's femur until the depth stop bottoms out on the reamer guide shaft.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising confirming visually that the depth stop of the finishing rasp is bottomed out on the reamer guide shaft.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein confirming visually that the depth stop of the finishing rasp is bottomed out on the reamer guide shaft comprises confirming that a first marking of the reamer guide shaft that is visible through a viewing window defined in the elongated shaft of the finishing rasp is aligned with a second marking positioned on the finishing rasp.

8. A method of performing a surgical procedure to implant an orthopaedic hip prosthesis, comprising:

advancing a distal stem component into an intramedullary canal of a patient's femur,

operating a rotary tool coupled to a proximal end of the distal stem component to rotate the distal stem component about its longitudinal axis to remove bone tissue from the patient's femur,

removing the rotary tool from the proximal end of the distal stem component,

installing a reamer guide shaft onto the proximal end of the distal stem component positioned in the intramedullary canal of the patient's femur,

advancing a proximal reamer distally over the reamer guide shaft, the proximal reamer comprising a depth stop, and

rotating the proximal reamer about the longitudinal axis of the distal stem component to remove bone tissue from the patient's femur until the depth stop of the proximal reamer bottoms out on the reamer guide shaft.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein:

the proximal reamer comprises (i) an elongated shaft having a bore formed therein, and (ii) a cutting head secured to, and extending away from, a distal end of the shaft, and

installing the proximal reamer over the reamer guide shaft comprises advancing the reamer guide shaft into the bore formed in the elongated shaft of the proximal reamer.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein:

the depth stop is positioned in the bore formed in the elongated shaft.

11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising confirming visually that the depth stop of the proximal reamer is bottomed out on the reamer guide shaft.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein confirming visually that the depth stop of the proximal reamer is bottomed out on the reamer guide shaft comprises confirming that a first marking of the reamer guide shaft that is visible through a viewing window defined in the elongated shaft of the proximal reamer is aligned with a second marking positioned on the proximal reamer.
