Abstract
An improved orthopedic joint prosthesis (10 has a prosthesis body (14) having a first surface (17) for engaging a patient's joint and a second surface (16) for receiving a polymeric liner (15). The second surface (16) is highly polished or mirror-like, for retarding debris generating from the polymer liner (15) and also allows optical pattern inspection.

The ~ n~l lo~n o~ th~ polymeric liner and orthopedic bas~ with mirrored or poli~hed surface ~ini8h provldes numsrous adv ' _ . Fir~t, it pr~rides a low frictio~ and low abrasion surface for ~ ntr;h~ n~ the contact force~ between the polyethylene li~er ~e.g., ~1HNWPi~) and th~l rrnRth~ body shell mis reduc~s the abr_sive gr-l~r~ n of polyethylene debris resulting ~rom motlon between th~s liner atld the body.

Por example, in tke CEI8e of an A~tAh~ r ~rnrth~ n, the femoral head is loadcd at the liner.

The adva..l,-,y~s o~ thi~ ~mooth ~nd poli~hed sur~ace is theref ore to provide non - contact, and therefore non-destructive (~on-~irr~trll;ng), 30 measurement of the interior of an ~ h~llwr device.

Claims
Claims 1. An orthopedic joint prosthesis comprising:
a) a prosthesis body having a first body surface for engaging a patient's joint and second body surface, and b) a polymeric liner that lines the prosthesis body at the second surface during use, the liner having first and second surfaces, the second surface defining an articulating surface that is positioned to receive and articulate with a separate joint prosthesis articulating member, the first side of the liner defining a non-articulating surface that is positioned on the opposite side of the liner from the second surface; characterised in that said body surface of the prosthesis body has a polished surface.
2. An orthopedic joint prosthesis according to claim 1; wherein said polished surface has a roughness of less than eight microinches.
3. The orthopedic joint prosthesis of claim 1 or claim 2 wherein the polished inner surface has a roughness of less than four (4) microinches.
4. The orthopedic joint prosthesis of any of claims 1-3 wherein the polished inner surface has a roughness of between one (1) and four (4) microinches.
5, An orthopedic joint prosthesis according to any of claims 1 to 4, wherein said polished surface is mirror-like.
6. The orthopedic joint prosthesis of claim 5 further comprising grid means for inspecting the polished inner surface for defects.
7. The orthopedic joint prosthesis of claim 6 wherein the grid means is a grid comprised of a plurality of concentric rings.
8. The orthopedic joint prosthesis of either claim 6 or claim 7 wherein the surface mirror defines a lens to view the grid.
9. An orthopedic joint prosthesis according to any of the preceding claims, wherein said polymeric liner comprises polyethylene.
10. An orthopedic joint prosthesis according to any of the preceding claims, wherein said prosthesis is an acetabular cup body prosthesis.
11. An orthopedic joint prosthesis according to any of claims 1-9 wherein said prosthesis is a glenoid prosthesis.
12. An orthopedic joint prosthesis according to claim 11, wherein said glenoid prosthesis comprises a glenoid component including a stem and cylindrical hollow sleeves for accommodating bone screws.
13. An orthopedic joint prosthesis according to any of claims 1-9, wherein said prosthesis is a tibial prosthesis.
14. An orthopedic prosthesis according to claim 13, wherein said tibial prosthesis comprises a tibial component having a stem for implantation into a tibia and a tray attached to the stem, said polished surface being provided on the tray.
15. An orthopedic prosthesis according to either claim 13 or claim 14, wherein said tibial prosthesis is an asymmetric tibial prosthesis.
6. An orthopedic joint prosthesis according to any of the preceding claims further comprising means for connecting the liner to the prosthesis body such that the non-articulating surface of said liner is adjacent to and in contact with the polished second body surface of the prosthesis body.
17. An orthopedic prosthesis according to claim 16, wherein said means comprises an annular shoulder which projects away from the mirror surface and defines a structure which holds the polymeric insert during use, 18. An orthopedic prosthesis according to claim 16, wherein said means comprise projections on a surface of either the polymeric liner or said non articulating surface which may engage in complementary grooves in the other surface.
19. An orthopedic prosthesis according to claim 16, wherein said means comprises a peripheral shoulder adjacent to said polished surface.
a) a prosthesis body having a first body surface for engaging a patient's joint and second body surface, and b) a polymeric liner that lines the prosthesis body at the second surface during use, the liner having first and second surfaces, the second surface defining an articulating surface that is positioned to receive and articulate with a separate joint prosthesis articulating member, the first side of the liner defining a non-articulating surface that is positioned on the opposite side of the liner from the second surface; characterised in that said body surface of the prosthesis body has a polished surface.
2. An orthopedic joint prosthesis according to claim 1; wherein said polished surface has a roughness of less than eight microinches.
3. The orthopedic joint prosthesis of claim 1 or claim 2 wherein the polished inner surface has a roughness of less than four (4) microinches.
4. The orthopedic joint prosthesis of any of claims 1-3 wherein the polished inner surface has a roughness of between one (1) and four (4) microinches.
5, An orthopedic joint prosthesis according to any of claims 1 to 4, wherein said polished surface is mirror-like.
6. The orthopedic joint prosthesis of claim 5 further comprising grid means for inspecting the polished inner surface for defects.
7. The orthopedic joint prosthesis of claim 6 wherein the grid means is a grid comprised of a plurality of concentric rings.
8. The orthopedic joint prosthesis of either claim 6 or claim 7 wherein the surface mirror defines a lens to view the grid.
9. An orthopedic joint prosthesis according to any of the preceding claims, wherein said polymeric liner comprises polyethylene.
10. An orthopedic joint prosthesis according to any of the preceding claims, wherein said prosthesis is an acetabular cup body prosthesis.
11. An orthopedic joint prosthesis according to any of claims 1-9 wherein said prosthesis is a glenoid prosthesis.
12. An orthopedic joint prosthesis according to claim 11, wherein said glenoid prosthesis comprises a glenoid component including a stem and cylindrical hollow sleeves for accommodating bone screws.
13. An orthopedic joint prosthesis according to any of claims 1-9, wherein said prosthesis is a tibial prosthesis.
14. An orthopedic prosthesis according to claim 13, wherein said tibial prosthesis comprises a tibial component having a stem for implantation into a tibia and a tray attached to the stem, said polished surface being provided on the tray.
15. An orthopedic prosthesis according to either claim 13 or claim 14, wherein said tibial prosthesis is an asymmetric tibial prosthesis.
6. An orthopedic joint prosthesis according to any of the preceding claims further comprising means for connecting the liner to the prosthesis body such that the non-articulating surface of said liner is adjacent to and in contact with the polished second body surface of the prosthesis body.
17. An orthopedic prosthesis according to claim 16, wherein said means comprises an annular shoulder which projects away from the mirror surface and defines a structure which holds the polymeric insert during use, 18. An orthopedic prosthesis according to claim 16, wherein said means comprise projections on a surface of either the polymeric liner or said non articulating surface which may engage in complementary grooves in the other surface.
19. An orthopedic prosthesis according to claim 16, wherein said means comprises a peripheral shoulder adjacent to said polished surface.
