Definitions

  • the field of the invention relates to surgical cutting devices, and more particularly to surgical cutting blocks used for guiding saws and similar cutting devices in the shaping of femurs for the receipt of knee prostheses.
  • the reference cutting surface assures that the plane of the cut will be properly aligned on the bone by guiding the cutting path of the saw blade.
  • Standard surgical cutting blocks are made from various grades of stainless steel that are quickly eroded by the high speeds at which most surgical blades operate. The result of such erosion is the production of a slurry, commonly referred to in the industry as "sludge,” some of which is deposited at the surgical site during surgery.
  • the sludge contains the various elements present within the steel alloy which makes up both the cutting block and the surgical blades.
  • a number of metals often found in stainless steel alloys, including both nickel and chrome, are left behind in the joint and eventually make their way throughout the patient's body. Nickel in particular is a known carcinogen. In a recent study, Sunderman et al.
  • the configuration of the cutting block system used to resect bone in a knee or other joint can also create impediments to the success of the procedure.
  • known dual cutting block systems which comprise a first cutting block for making anterior and posterior cuts, and a second cutting block for making the posterior chamfer and anterior chamfer cuts, suffer from several inherent difficulties.
  • the first cutting block is designed to remove bone sections from the front and back faces of the distal portion of the femur, it is common for the body of the cutting block to exceed, or "hang over,” the sides of the distal end of the femur.
  • the reference cutting surface is not flush to the bone but rather separated from it by some amount of air space. This makes the anterior and posterior cuts more difficult because the surgeon is not under good control of the cutting edge of the saw blade. Skiving, a tendency of the blade to be deflected by the bone and thus produce an inferior cut, is a significant problem in these situations.
  • Another difficulty with existing dual cutting systems for femoral resection is the relatively small surface area presented by either cutting guide surface in a typical prior art chamfer cutting block.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide a method for cutting bone and similar hard tissue that does not leave behind toxic by-products at the operation site.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a method of cutting bone and similar hard tissue that is capable of making a precise cut with a desired tolerance of a few thousandths of an inch.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a method of cutting bone or similar hard tissue that minimizes heat damage to bone tissue.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a method for precise cutting of hard tissues, such as bone and cartilage, that does not result in deposits of toxic substances in the body or result in heat-associated tissue damage.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to provide a femoral cutting block system that combines the ability to make a posterior or anterior cut, as well as the opposing chamfer cut, in a single cutting block.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide for improved stability and precision in the attachment and usage of femoral cutting blocks to the femur .
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an adaptor that can be used to couple a variety of instruments, including cutting blocks and sizing plates, to a bone to be cut.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide an expanded and widened chamfer cutting guide in order to increase surgeon control of saw blades and precision in making posterior and anterior chamfer cuts .
  • the invention meets these objects by providing an improved cutting block having one or more cutting guide surfaces composed of a composition having a Knoop hardness of 466 or greater (under a 500 gm load or greater), a chrome content of less than 10% by weight and a nickel content that is substantially less than 4% by weight.
  • the cutting block of the invention may be entirely composed of the desired composition or may be a composite construction having a core unit composed of stainless steel or other material suitable for surgical applications that is fitted with and coupled to one or more units composed of the composition described above and configured with a desired cutting guide surface.
  • Such units may be discrete blocks or laminas that are physically affixed to or inlaid into a desired surface of the core unit or alternatively may constitute coatings or deposits that are bonded to a desired surface of the core unit using known techniques.
  • an improved configuration for the reference cutting surface of the cutting guide is provided.
  • the present invention utilizes the use of ridges or protuberances to define a reference cutting surface, thereby greatly reducing the extent of actual physical, and therefore
  • two or more raised rails are provided.
  • protuberances are arrayed in linear or curvilinear rows, or at random, across the surface of the cutting guide.
