==IMPACTION HANDLE FOR IMPLANTING A TIBIAL TRAY OF AN ORTHOPAEDIC KNEE PROSTHESIS AND ASSOCIATED METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240024128 titled 'IMPACTION HANDLE FOR IMPLANTING A TIBIAL TRAY OF AN ORTHOPAEDIC KNEE PROSTHESIS AND ASSOCIATED METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes an impaction handle used during a surgical procedure to implant a tibial tray into the proximal end of a tibia. The handle consists of an impact plate at the proximal end, an impact head at the distal end, and an elongated shaft connecting the two. It also includes a locking mechanism to secure the handle to the tibial tray. All these components are part of a single monolithic metallic component.

* The impaction handle is designed for use in a surgical procedure to implant a tibial tray into the proximal end of a tibia.
* It consists of an impact plate at the proximal end and an impact head at the distal end.
* The handle has an elongated shaft connecting the impact plate and the impact head.
* A locking mechanism is included to secure the handle to the tibial tray.
* All components of the impaction handle are part of a single monolithic metallic component.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Orthopedic surgery: The impaction handle can be used in orthopedic surgeries to implant tibial trays in patients requiring knee replacements.
* Medical device industry: The technology can be utilized by medical device manufacturers to produce impaction handles for surgical procedures.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Secure implantation: The impaction handle provides a reliable and secure method for implanting a tibial tray into the tibia, ensuring stability and longevity of the implant.
* Simplified procedure: The handle's design and locking mechanism streamline the surgical procedure, making it easier and more efficient for surgeons.

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved surgical outcomes: The use of the impaction handle enhances the precision and accuracy of the implantation process, leading to improved surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction.
* Time and cost savings: The simplified procedure and efficient design of the handle can potentially reduce surgical time and associated costs.
* Enhanced durability: The monolithic metallic component of the handle ensures durability and longevity, minimizing the need for replacements or repairs.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

an impaction handle for use during a surgical procedure to implant a tibial tray into a surgically-prepared proximal end of a tibia includes an impact plate defining a proximal end of the impaction handle and an impact head defining a distal end of the impaction handle. the impaction handle also has an elongated shaft extending between the impact plate and the impact head, along with a locking mechanism to lock the handle to the tibial tray. the impact plate, the impact head, the elongated shaft, and the locking mechanism of the impaction handle collectively define a single monolithic metallic component.
