Abstract

A total hip surface replacement implant, comprising a femur component and an acetabular cup component, wherein the femur component is in a half-spherical shell shape and is formed by polyether ether ketone (PEEK) or derivatives thereof; the shape of the acetabular cup component matches that of the femur component, and the acetabular cup component is tightly attached to an outer surface of the half-spherical shell of the femur component; the acetabular cup component is formed by ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene; or the femur component can be formed by ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene, and meanwhile the acetabular cup component is formed by polyether ether ketone (PEEK) or derivatives thereof. The total hip surface replacement implant employs friction combination between organic polymers so as to reduce material toxicity against a living body; the rigidity of the organic polymers more matches that of a natural bone of a human body, thereby reducing implant wearing in a usage process; and by means of an optimization design of a positioning column on a femur condyle, the clinic problems of early neck-of-femur fracture and medium-and-long term bone resorption are avoided.

Claims (15)

1. A total hip surface replacement implant, comprising a femur component and an acetabular cup component, wherein:

the femur component comprises a hemispherical composite shell and a hollow positioning column, the hemispherical composite shell comprises an outer layer, a porous metal layer, and a metal barrier layer, the outer layer extends inwards at an inner central portion of the hemispherical composite shell, the hemispherical composite shell couples to the hollow positioning column at the inner central portion;

the acetabular cup component is adapted to receive the femur component, the acetabular cup component having an inner surface rotatably coupled to the outer surface of the hemispherical composite shell of the femur component;

the outer surface of the hemispherical composite shell and the hollow positioning column are formed of polyether ether ketone (PEEK) or derivatives thereof and the acetabular cup component is formed of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE);

the inner surface of the acetabular cup component and the outer surface of the hemispherical shell of the femur component forming a UHMWPE-to-PEEK juncture; and

the hollow positioning column having an interior cavity with a metal column core.

2. The total hip surface replacement implant of claim 1 , characterized in that, the roughness Ra of the outer surface of the hemispherical shell of the femur component is less than 1.0 μm, and the roughness Ra of an inner surface of the hemispherical shell of the femur component is greater than 0.1 μm.

3. The total hip surface replacement implant of claim 1 , characterized in that, the inner surface of the hemispherical shell and an outer surface of the positioning column are coated with cementless materials.

4. The total hip surface replacement implant of claim 1 , characterized in that, the inner surface of the hemispherical shell and an outer surface of the positioning column are provided with a layer of porous metal layer, the thickness of the porous metal layer is greater than 0.5 mm and the porosity is higher than 20%.

5. The total hip surface replacement implant of claim 1 , wherein an upper end of the metal column core is lower than a combined portion of the femur component with the positioning column.

6. The total hip surface replacement implant of claim 1 , wherein the inner surface of the hemispherical shell and an outer surface of the positioning column are coated with cementless materials.

7. The total hip surface replacement implant of claim 1 , wherein the inner surface of the hemispherical shell and an outer surface of the positioning column are provided with a layer of porous metal layer, the thickness of the porous metal layer is greater than 0.5 mm and the porosity is higher than 20%.

8. The total hip surface replacement implant of claim 1 , characterized in that, the acetabular cup component is a highly cross-linked ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene.

9. The total hip surface replacement implant of claim 1 , characterized in that, a side of the acetabular cup component which is connected with a bone is coated with cementless materials.

10. The total hip surface replacement implant of claim 1 , a side of the acetabular cup component which is connected with a bone is provided with a layer of porous metal layer, the thickness of the porous metal layer is less than 0.5 mm and the porosity is higher than 20%.
