==SPACER BLOCKS, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TRIALING KNEE JOINT - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240016628 titled 'SPACER BLOCKS, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TRIALING KNEE JOINT

==Simplified Explanation==

The provisional tibial prosthesis system described in the patent application includes a tibial component, a base component, and a shim. The tibial component has a rail that defines a pocket and a distal surface designed to fit on a resected proximal surface of a tibia. The base component can be placed within the pocket of the tibial component and has a flat proximal and distal surface. The shim has a feature that can be coupled with a second feature of the base component when placed on it, and it also has a flat proximal surface.

* The patent application describes a system for a provisional tibial prosthesis.
* The system includes a tibial component with a rail and a pocket, a base component with flat surfaces, and a shim with a coupling feature.
* The tibial component is designed to fit on a resected proximal surface of a tibia.
* The base component can be placed within the pocket of the tibial component.
* The shim can be placed on the base component and has a coupling feature that connects with the base component.
* The system provides a simplified and adjustable solution for tibial prosthesis.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Medical field: The provisional tibial prosthesis system can be used in orthopedic surgeries for patients requiring tibial prostheses.
* Prosthetics industry: The system can be utilized in the development of temporary tibial prostheses for testing and fitting purposes.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Simplified design: The system provides a simplified and adjustable solution for tibial prostheses, making it easier for surgeons to fit and adjust the prosthesis.
* Customization: The system allows for customization by combining different components to meet the specific needs of each patient.

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved fitting process: The system's adjustable components allow for a more precise and comfortable fit for patients.
* Versatility: The system's modular design allows for flexibility in adapting to different patient requirements.
* Cost-effective: The use of provisional tibial prostheses can potentially reduce costs associated with the development and fitting of permanent prostheses.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

in one aspect, a provisional tibial prosthesis system is shown and described. the provisional tibial prosthesis system optionally includes any one or combination of: a tibial component, a base component and a shim. the tibial component can have a rail that defines a pocket and a distal surface configured to seat on a resected proximal surface of a tibia. the base component can be configured to seat within the pocket of the tibial component when positioned thereon. when so positioned with the pocket, the base component can have a substantially flat proximal surface and a substantially flat distal surface. the shim can have a feature configured to couple with a second feature of the base component when disposed thereon. the shim can have a substantially flat proximal surface.
