Definitions
- the present invention relates to a movable meniscus knee prosthesis.
- Such prostheses are used to replace, during a surgical operation, natural cartilages presenting deficiencies due to an illness or a trauma.
- the prosthesis called "OXFORD" described for example in French patent n ° 2290883 comprises a tibial platform having a flat surface on which a meniscal part is movable in translation.
- Such a prosthesis is not entirely satisfactory, due to the excessive stresses undergone by the meniscal part, usually made of plastic. Indeed, the edges of the cavity, of section greater than the section of the mushroom-shaped projecting part extending to the upper surface of the tibial platform, strike said projecting part. Due to the large forces exerted on a knee prosthesis, these repeated shocks lead to rapid deterioration of the meniscal part.
- European patent n ° 0021.421 describes a prosthesis whose tibial platform has two curved guide grooves cooperating with the lower surface of two movable menisci having a projecting part whose section is in the shape of a tail. dovetails.
- British patent 1534263 describes such a prosthesis comprising a linear guide groove allowing a constrained movement of a meniscal part.
- French patent FR2685632 describes a prosthetic assembly comprising: a first type of femoral element able to cooperate either with a movable plate of a tibial base to constitute a knee prosthesis with movable plate, either with a fixed plate of a tibial base to constitute a knee prosthesis with fixed plate with conservation of the posterior cruciate ligaments.
- a second type of femoral element capable of cooperating with a fixed plate of the tibial base, to constitute a posterior stabilized knee prosthesis with fixed plate.
- Another French patent FR2692476 describes a total knee prosthesis of the sliding type, comprising a femoral element whose condylar pads cooperate in abutment on a plate of a tibial element.
- the tibial and femoral elements have, in combination, complementary stop and guide means which are adjustable and removable, capable of ensuring the stabilization of the two elements while respecting the ligament iso when the anterior ligament or the two cruciate ligaments are destroyed.
- complementary stop and guide means which are adjustable and removable
- a total knee prosthesis of the sliding type comprising a bi-condylar femoral part, the profiled external face of which comes into contact, support and centering on an intermediate element of high-density polyethylene, said intermediate element being positioned and fixed on the upper face forming a metal base of the 'tibial element, and in that the upper part of the tibial part is arranged with a plurality of positioning openings relative to the intermediate part, the latter comprising two centering pads to engage in positioning openings thus allowing an adjustment in position of the intermediate plate relative to one tibial element.
- European patent EP183670 describes an artificial meniscus-tibia joint for a knee joint prosthesis comprising at least one tibial component on which the meniscus is disposed so as to be able to move or be mobile.
- the meniscus has a largely planar sliding surface against the tibial component, the meniscus or the tibial component having directional control members giving the meniscus the ability to move in all directions along the tibial component, but these members direction control elements being also arranged so as to limit the amplitude of the movement.
- the object of the invention is to remedy this drawback by proposing a prosthesis allowing an additional degree of freedom, and thus making it possible to avoid blocking of the joint during certain movements of the knee.
- the invention relates more particularly to a knee prosthesis composed of: a) at least one tibial component having a first bearing surface,
- a femoral component having a fourth bearing surface which comes into sliding contact with the third bearing surface of the meniscal component
- the tibial component is provided with at least one cavity into which penetrates at least a portion projecting from the second bearing surface of a meniscal component, the cavity and the protruding portion being shaped so as to allow lateral movements and rotational movements of at least one meniscal component relative to the component tibial, the rotational movements taking place along at least one axis substantially perpendicular to the first bearing surface and eccentric laterally with respect to the tibia.
- the prosthesis according to the invention has a possibility of rotation relative to a virtual axis offset laterally outside the tibial platform.
- the center of rotation can be moved to a point whose projection on the plane perpendicular to the axis of the tibia is outside the prosthesis.
- the meniscal component is movable in rotation along an axis corresponding to the axis of the tibia.
- Such a prosthesis is not entirely adapted to an anatomical movement, and therefore leads to an unsightly gait.
- the prosthesis according to the present invention makes it possible to better reproduce the natural movement of flexion or extension of the knee. We can consider several different realizations.
- the prosthesis according to the invention comprises two meniscal components each having a part projecting from the second surface and in that the tibial component (1) has two cavities capable of cooperating each with the projecting part of one of the meniscal components.
- the cavities are closed by a continuous rim.
- the edges have a constant thickness over an extension of a half-circumference of the cavities where they border the tibia element.
- the rim is located to limit the pivoting rotations of the meniscus in angular strokes at most equal to the natural strokes.
- the knee prosthesis according to the invention comprises:
- a meniscal component having a second bearing surface which comes into sliding contact with the first bearing surface of the tibial component to undergo a sliding movement relative to the latter during the movement of the joint, the meniscal component having a third bearing surface
- a femoral component having a fourth bearing surface which comes into sliding contact with the third bearing surface of the meniscal component characterized in that the meniscal component consists of a single piece, in that the first bearing surface of the tibial component is in the form of a bean, and in that the second bearing surface of the meniscal component is also in the form of bean of smaller dimension in the antero-posterior direction the shape of said first and second bearing surfaces being complementary and determined so as to allow a movement limited in rotation and in linear movement of the meniscal component with respect to the tibial component.
- the tibial component has a bearing surface formed by two lateral zones, each being delimited externally by a rounded convex edge, and internally by a rounded convex edge extending from the front of the tibial plateau to a transverse axis. substantially median, the two lateral zones being joined by a central zone delimited at the front by a concave curved edge extending at each of its ends one of the interior edges, and at the rear by an edge extending at each of its ends one of the outer edges.
- the tibial component has a planar bearing surface delimited on its periphery by a projecting edge, the meniscal component having a bearing surface capable of cooperating with the bearing surface of the tibial component so as to allow limited translational and rotational movements.
- the meniscal component has a bearing surface formed by two lateral zones, each being delimited externally by a rounded convex edge, and internally by a rounded convex edge extending from the front of the tibial plateau to to a substantially median transverse axis, the two lateral zones being joined by a central zone delimited at the front by a concave curved edge extending at each of its ends one of the interior edges, and at the rear by an edge extending to each of its ends one of the outer edges.
- the bearing surface of the meniscal component constitutes a flat projecting surface.

- FIG. 2 shows a view of the tibial component and the meniscal component along a section plane AA ';
- FIG. 3 shows a view of the tibial component and the meniscal component along a section plane BB ';
- FIGs 4 to 8 show top views of the tibial component and the meniscal component in different relative positions.
- FIG. 9 shows a view of an alternative embodiment with two independent meniscal components
- - Figures 10 to 14 show the movements of the meniscal components relative to the tibial component
- FIG. 15 shows a view of another alternative embodiment with two independent meniscal components.
- FIG. 1 represents a top view of the tibial component (1) provided with the meniscal component (2).
- the tibial component is symmetrical with respect to a median plane BB '.
- the tibial component (1) is fixed to the tibia in a known manner and visible in FIGS. 2 and 3, by one or more points (3, 4) grooved or covered with a biocompatible material intended to penetrate into the spongy tissue.
- the dimensions of the tibial component are within a rectangle of approximately 80 x 55 millimeters.
- the dimensions of the meniscal component are within a rectangle of approximately 60 x 30 millimeters.
- the upper surface (5) of the tibial component has a bean-shaped zone (6) symmetrical with respect to the median anteroposterior axis BB '.
- the tibial component (1) as well as the meniscal component (2) have notches (7) U-shaped so to clear an opening (5) for the passage of the cruciate ligaments.
- the upper surface (8, 9) is complementary with the contact surface of the femoral component fixed on the femoral bone in a known manner.
- the bean-shaped zone (6) has two lateral zones (11, 12) joined by a central zone (13).
- a projecting rim (14) having a dovetail profile, with a lower edge (15) surmounted by an upper edge (16) extending inwardly of the contact zone between the heel ( 17) of the meniscal component and the planar contact surface (28) of the tibial component.
- the heel (17) has a complementary peripheral edge.
- the two lateral zones (11, 12) are symmetrical with respect to the anteroposterior axis BB '.
- the lateral zone (11) will be described below in more detail, it being understood that the second lateral zone (12) has the same characteristics.
- the lateral zone (11) has a generally oval shape, with a semicircular front edge (18) extended externally by a rounded external edge (19) extending generally parallel to the anteroposterior axis BB ', and extended on the rear edge by an edge (20) substantially forming a quarter of a circle.
- the front edge (18) of semi-circular shape is extended by a rounded inner edge (19) extending generally parallel to the anteroposterior axis BB 'and along the notch (7).
- the two lateral zones (11, 12) are joined on the front side by an edge (21) in the form of a concave semicircle, seen from the support zone (6), and on the rear side by an edge (22 ) extending along a general axis perpendicular to the 'BB' axis, convexly seen from the inside of the support zone (6).
- the meniscal component (2) has a heel (18) whose general shape is equivalent to that of the area support (6) of the tibial component (1), but whose dimensions and curvatures are different to allow limited mobility in rotation and in translation, as shown in Figures 4 to 8.
- Figure 4 shows an example of displacement in rotation relative to the center of the prosthesis.
- One of the rounded lateral branches (25) of the meniscal heel (17) comes to the front edge (18) of the corresponding lateral zone (11).
- the concave central part (26) rocks laterally, on the side of this lateral zone (11).
- the opposite lateral branch (27) recedes against the rear edge (29) of the lateral zone (12).
- FIG. 5 represents another mode of displacement, according to which the posterior concave edge (30) of the meniscal heel (17) bears against the concave anterior edge (21) of the tibial component.
- the two components can thus move in a rotation corresponding to the development of the curvatures of the two front edges (21, 30).

- FIG. 8 represents a combined displacement of translation and rotation.
- FIG. 9 shows a view of an alternative embodiment with two independent meniscal components.
- the tibial component (1) is a flat platform having a first contact surface (5) provided with two oblong cavities (30, 31) with a substantially flat bottom, of shallow and constant depth. These cavities (30, 31) allowing the displacement in translation and in rotation of two complementary projecting studs (33, 34) each secured to one of the meniscal components (35, 36).
- the protruding studs (33, 34) have a low and constant thickness for engagement in the oblong cavities (30, 31) and to allow a sliding movement in rotation and in translation, within limits defined by flanges (37, 38).
- the cavities (30, 31) have uneven surfaces and are placed so that the pins (33, 34) both abut against the rear ends of the cavities (30, 31) in the leg extension position shown in FIG. 10 and against the front ends of these two cavities in the maximum bending position illustrated in FIG. 11.
- the straight lines coming from the centers of the studs (33, 34) in these two positions intersect at a point 0 which constitutes a pivot center of the joint and which is almost immobile during the movement of the studs (33, 34).
- the cavities (30, 31) are however wider than the tenons (33, 34) so that slightly different movements are authorized and that greater flexibility of the joint is obtained.
- the cavities (30, 31) are surrounded by continuous flanges having a main part (37, 38) of constant width and extending over a little more than half the circumference of the cavities (30, 31).
- (37, 38) is chosen so that the pressure of the meniscal components (37, 38) never becomes excessive. It is three millimeters in an embodiment where the parts are made of high density polyethylene for the load-bearing parts, undergoing friction and contact pressure, and of stainless steel, of cobalt-based alloy or of titanium alloy for the rest .
- FIG. 12 shows a slightly different embodiment of a prosthesis according to this variant.
- the tibial component (1) has two similar and symmetrical cavities (40, 41) with a width of the order of 26 millimeters and a length of 39 millimeters for circular tenons (42) with a diameter of 23 millimeters, and not oblong as in the previous embodiment example.
- a state of extension illustrated in FIG. 12 we will obtain, from a state of extension illustrated in FIG. 12, and similar to that of FIG. 10, a state of bending represented either at Figure 13, or Figure 14.
- One of the tenons (42) reaches the end of the cavity into which it enters, while the other tenon stops approximately in the center of the other cavity.
- FIG. 15 represents a slightly modified design, the purpose of which is similar to that of FIG. 12, that is to say that the tibial component (53) is designed to be used indifferently for right and left knees.
- the tibial component (53) has two similar straight and parallel grooves (56).
- the meniscal component (54) formed of two elements (58, 59) each associated with a groove (56) by circular studs (57). Sufficient lateral play is provided to allow rotations of the joint in both directions.
