Definitions
- the present invention relates to orthopedic prosthetic joint devices for implantation into or replacement of a joint of the human or animal body.
- a number of commercially available prosthetic devices for implantation into a patient's joint or for total joint replacement include a metallic part and a plastics liner forming at least in part, the articulating surface of the joint.
- a cotyliodal component for a non-cemented hip prosthesis there is provided a cotyliodal component for a non-cemented hip prosthesis. The component has two parts, a titanium hemispherical shell and a cup of polymer which is engaged into it.
- acetabular cups include European Patent Application No. 212,087 published April 3, 1987, wherein metallic pins project from the surface of the cup and contain holes in which tissue may grow.
- European Patent No. 341,198 published November 8, 1989 an acetabular cup has a metal outer shell and a plastic body for retaining the hip joint head.
- a combination of a plastics liner and a base member is also a feature of other joint prostheses such as those for implantation into the shoulder or knee.
- a tibial prosthei ⁇ which has a plate or Insert forming an 2 articulating surface for the joint is described in
- the present invention provides an improved orthopedic joint prosthesis wherein the prosthesis body has a base member (e.g. tray, cup or shell)and a polymeric liner.
- the polymeric liner affixes to the prosthesis body and provides an articulating surface for engaging another prosthesis member.
- the prosthesis body has a non- rticulating mirrored or polished surface that receives the plastic liner.
- This surface has a polished surface that faces the liner for retarding liner debris generation.
- the polished surface has a roughness of preferably less than eight (8) micro- inches.
- the combination of the polymeric liner and orthopedic base with mirrored or polished surface finish provides numerous advantages. First, it provides a low friction and low abrasion surface for distributing the contact forces between the polyethylene liner (e.g., UHMWPE) and the prosthesis body shell. This reduces the abrasive generation of polyethylene debris resulting from motion between the liner and the body.
- polyethylene liner e.g., UHMWPE
- This motion may come om a variety of mechanisms which include Poisson volumetric distortion of the polyethylene resulting in 3 localized expansion and contraction of the surface of the liner against the body as a result of loading the liner, and the micro-motion which occurs from forces from a liner within and around the confines of the prosthesis body interior.
- the femoral head is loaded at the liner.
- Micro-motion can occur in hip prosthesis from forces generated by the femoral head pushing the liner within and around the confines of the prosthesis body, namely an acetabular cup body with a concave polished surface that receives the liner.
- Micro-motion can occur in a knee prosthesis as a tibial tray liner receive ⁇ force generated by a femoral pr ⁇ thesis.
- a shoulder or glenoid component also has force transmitted at the joint to a plastic liner of the glenoid metallic component.
- the mirror finish also allows the use of optical non-contact inspection of the interior of the metallic component surface for checking the geometric correctness of the component.
- the use of non-contact optical inspection methods allow complete checking of whole two and three dimensional surfaces at one time.
- the usual method of optical three-dimensional inspection is to project a regular pattern of light onto the surface which is to be inspected.
- the resultant two dimensional projection of the scene may be used to give highly accurate total surface measurement. Distortions in the regular pattern indicate distortions in the part surface and indicate deviations from the desired part geometry.
- This method is ineffective on highly smooth surfaces since the projected light of the regular pattern bounces off the measurement target and no two dimensional mapping is possible, ⁇ n this device the highly smooth surface is further polished to act as a reflective mirror.
- This surface mirror then is used as a lens to view a two-dimensional pattern such as a grid drawn on a white sheet of paper or a series of concentric rings. Distortions in the viewed image then are a result of distortions of the lens and hence the surface which is desired to be measured. It is thereby possible to inspect the highly smooth surface of the prosthesis body due to this polishing.
- the method of inspection may be both by trained human inspectors and by image analysis performed by capturing the reflected image by a video camera, digitizing the image, and using computer analysis to measure the amount of deviation of the pattern from the allowed surface geometry tolerance.
- This smooth and polished surface is therefore to provide non-contact, and therefore non-d ⁇ Btructive (non-scratching) , measurement of the interior of an acetabular device.
- the inspection methods require a surface 5 which allows a reflective resolution sufficient to provide adequate reflective image quality for analysis.
- Current inspection limits require a surface finish of less than eight (8) micro-inches to accomplish this quality of resolution.
- an acetabular cup body preferably includes openings therethrough which can function as drill guides for the surgeon after the cup has been placed in the patient's acetabulum.
- a second embodiment of the invention is a glenoid prosthesis for implantation into a shoulder.
- a further embodiment of the invention may be a knee prosthesis such as those generally used for total knee replacement implants.

When such human inspection is employed, the inspector simply looks through the opening 204 when the grid chart 200, 205 is placed against the concave 16 side of acetabular cup body 14.
- Another method of inspection may be by image analysis performed by capturing the reflected image with a video camera, digitizing the image and using computer analysis to measure the amount of deviation of the pattern from the allowed surface geometry tolerance.
- the surface 16 defines a mirror that is used as a lens to view a two • - 13 - dimensional pattern such as the grid patterns 200, 205 drawn for example on a white sheet of paper. Distortions in the viewed image are then a result of distortions of the lens surface 16 and hence the surface which is desired to be measured.
