Abstract

A revision implant component comprising a body having a plurality of screw holes and a tapered head configured to engage a talar dome component of a multi-component ankle prosthesis. A surgical method is disclosed which includes creating an incision in a patient, exposing a multi-component ankle prosthesis implanted in a patient, disassembling at least one component of the multi-component ankle prosthesis, affixing a revision implant component to non-damaged bone using screws, and coupling the revision implant component to a talar dome of the multi-component ankle prosthesis.

Claims (18)

1. A revision implant component, comprising: a narrowing body dimensioned to substantially align with a top surface of a resected talus and a talar dome component, the body including an inner side and an outer side and defining at least one screw hole with a plurality of polyaxial locking tabs disposed about the circumference of the at least one screw hole, and a head configured to engage the talar dome component.

2. The revision implant component of claim 1 , wherein the narrowing body is substantially aligned with a bottom surface of the talar dome component.

3. The revision implant component of claim 2 , wherein the head comprises a Morse taper.

4. The revision implant component of claim 3 , wherein the head defines a recess and a notch.

5. The revision implant component of claim 4 , wherein the body further defines at least one wire hole.

6. A surgical method, comprising:

creating an incision in a patient;

exposing an ankle prosthesis implanted in a patient;

disassembling at least one component of the ankle prosthesis;

affixing a revision implant component to non-damaged bone using screws; and

coupling the revision implant component to a talar dome of the ankle prosthesis, wherein the revision implant component has a narrowing body dimensioned to substantially align with a top surface of a resected talus, the narrowing body including an inner side and an outer side and defining at least one screw hole with at least one polyaxial locking tab disposed about the circumference of the at least one screw hole, and a head configured to engage a talar dome component of an ankle prosthesis.

7. The surgical method of claim 6 , further comprising resecting damaged bone prior to the step of affixing a revision implant component to non-damaged bone using screws.

8. The surgical method of claim 7 , wherein the revision implant component is affixed to non-damaged bone using screws with threaded heads.

9. The surgical method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one screw is affixed to the revision implant component and non-damaged bone of the talus.

10. The surgical method of claim 9 , wherein the at least one screw is affixed to the revision implant component and non-damaged bone of at least one of a calcaneus bone or a navicular bone.

11. The surgical method of claim 10 , wherein the step of coupling the revision implant component to a talar dome further comprises attaching an augment between the revision implant component and the talar dome.

12. The surgical method of claim 7 , wherein the step of affixing the revision implant component to non-damaged bone further comprises attaching an augment between the revision implant component and the non-damaged bone.

13. The surgical method of claim 7 , wherein the revision implant component is coupled to the component of the multi-component ankle prosthesis in situ.
