Abstract

A hip resurfacing device comprises a femoral cap and an acetabular cup having mutually co-operable articulating surfaces. The cap and the cup are formed of metal and at least one of the articulating surfaces is coated with ceramic material.

Description

1 2397765
A HIP RESURFACING DEVICE
This invention relates to a hip resurfacing device.
Devices for replacing the worn surfaces of hip joints are well known in the art. Such devices as they relate to hip joint surface replacement comprise a metal cap to cover the femoral head, which cap may or may not have been machined to accept the inner surface of the prosthesis, and an acetabular cup which is fitted to the acetabulum either with or without bone cement using techniques also known in the art.
These devices have been made from metal or ceramic material articulating with polyethylene, or metal articulating against metal. However, polyethylene components abrade and polyethylene debris, caused as a result of abrasion through articulation, is a major cause of osteolysis and resultant failure of the device. There is also concern over metal ion release from metal on metal articulating surfaces since the long term effects of this are unknown.
According to the present invention there is provided a hip resurfacing device comprising a femoral cap and an acetabular cup having mutually co operable articulating surfaces, the cap and the cup being formed of metal and at least one of the articulating surfaces being coated with ceramic material.
Preferred and/or optional features of the invention are set forth in claims 2 to 6, inclusive.
The ceramic coating significantly reduces the quantity of metal ions released.
One example of a hip resurfacing device according to the invention will now be more particularly described. The hip resurfacing device comprises a femoral cap, which covers the head of a femur, and an acetabular cup, which is fitted to the acetabulum either with or without bone cement using conventional techniques. The acetabular cup could be of the same or similar shape to that disclosed in GB 2333961 A. The cap has an outer, typically hemispherical or substantially hemispherical, articulating surface and the cup has an inner, typically hemispherical or substantially hemispherical, articulating surface which co- operates with the outer articulating surface of the cap.
The cap and the cup are formed of metal, preferably high carbon cobalt chrome-alloy, completely coated with ceramic material, typically alumina, between 5 and 500 micrometres thick, and more preferably between 25 and 250 micrometres thick. Also, preferably, the radial clearance between the articulating surfaces is 25 to 200 micrometres.
The ceramic coating significantly reduces the quantity of metal ions released into the body during use.
Although the cap and the cup are said to be completely coated in ceramic material, it is also envisaged that only the articulating surfaces, or indeed only one of the two articulating surfaces, be so coated.

Claims (5)

1. A hip resurfacing device comprising a femoral cap and an acetabular cup having mutually co-operable articulating surfaces, the cap and the cup being formed of metal and at least one of the articulating surfaces being coated with ceramic material.
2. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the articulating surfaces of the cap and the cup are coated with ceramic material.
3. A device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the non-articulating surfaces of the cap and the cup are also coated with ceramic material.
4. A device as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the coating thickness is between 5 and 500 micrometres.
5. A hip resurfacing device substantially as hereinbefore described.
5. A device as claimed in claim 4, wherein the coating thickness is between and 250 micrometres.
6. A device as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the radial clearance between the articulating surfaces is 25 to 200 micrometres.
7. A hip resurfacing device substantially as hereinbefore described. G.
Amendments to the claims have been filed as follows A hip resurfacing device comprising a femoral cap and an acetabular cup having mutually cooperable articulating surfaces, the cap and the cup being formed of metal and at least one of the articulating surfaces being coated with ceramic material' the coating thickness being between 25 and 250 micrometers.
2. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the articulating surfaces of the cap and the cup are coated with ceramic material.
3. A device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the non-articulating surfaces of the cap and the cup are also coated with ceramic material.
4. A device as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the radial clearance between the articulating surfaces is 25 to 200 micrometres.
