    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
    The present invention relates to an ankle prosthesis comprising a flat.
    TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
    The present invention relates to the technical field of ankle prostheses intended to allow orthopedic treatment of the ankle joint by implantation of prosthetic elements to restore at least in part the articular anatomy of the ankle. Indeed, following wear or traumatic shock it is known that total or partial damage to the joint space of the ankle occurs.
    Many ankle prostheses have been developed.
    They generally consist of two parts; a tibial part attached to the end of the tibia, a talar part attached to the upper part of the talus, each of the two parts comprising an articular surface, as well as a pad interposed between the tibial part and the talar part with two likely contact surfaces to supplement the articular surfaces. For example, such ankle prostheses are described in documents FR 2 760 353 and WO 03/075802.
    Document FR 2 905 259 describes an ankle prosthesis comprising a talar part, a pad and a tibial part having a curved, concave articular surface and consisting of a spherical portion extending over the whole of said articular surface.
    These constrained systems only partially reproduce all the freedom of movement of the natural ankle joint since the friction surface between the two implants is very far from the theoretical physiological form of the natural ankle joint.
    There is therefore a real need to propose an ankle prosthesis whose shapes make it possible to improve freedom of movement while allowing a good centering of the stresses and to reduce the stresses, in particular at the level of the anchorages, and to improve the said anchorages in particular in order to obtain a better bone recovery and to improve the articular amplitudes in a frontal plane.
    SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
    The invention relates firstly to an ankle prosthesis comprising a tibial part capable of being connected to the lower end of a tibia, a talar part capable of being connected to an embankment as well as a pad interposed between the part tibial and the talar part, the tibial part comprising an articular surface capable of cooperating with a contact surface of the skate and the talar part comprising a curved articular surface capable of cooperating with a contact surface of the skate, characterized in that the articular surface of the tibial part is curved, concave, and comprises a flat in the posterior extension of said articular surface.
    According to one embodiment, the flat has a width of between 2 and 8 mm, preferably between 4 and 6 mm.
    According to one embodiment, the tibial part has a length between 20 and 100 mm, preferably between 35 and 85 mm and a width between 10 and 40 mm, preferably between 15 and 30 mm.
    According to one embodiment, the articular surface of the tibial part comprises a spherical portion extending over a part of said articular surface.
    According to one embodiment, the spherical portion of the articular surface of the tibial part has a radius of curvature R capable of varying from 30 to 90 mm, preferably of the order of 50 mm, and if necessary, a second radius of curvature R ′ different from the radius R capable of varying from 20 to 80 mm, preferably of the order of 50 mm.
    According to one embodiment, the articular surface of the tibial part is slightly inclined towards the rear of the foot.
    According to one embodiment, the articular surface of the talar part has a radius of curvature r along the longitudinal axis capable of varying from 20 to 30 mm, preferably of the order of 24 mm.
    According to one embodiment, the tibial part comprises anchoring means with a removable keel.
    According to one embodiment, the removable keel comprises two symmetrical grooves formed in the lower part of the keel, the shapes of which are capable of cooperating with the external surfaces of two parallel cylinders integral with the tibial part, the keel having a diameter at the lower part greater than the distance between the two cylinders.
    According to one embodiment, the keel comprises a transverse orifice allowing the installation of a screw, a key or a pin capable of at least partially crossing the lower part of the tibia.
    According to one embodiment, the talar part comprises anchoring means with at least one stop disposed under the talar part, at the rear edge, to prevent the talar part from tilting towards the front of the foot.
    The present invention overcomes the drawbacks of the state of the art.

    DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION
    In FIGS. 1A and 1B, an ankle is shown with at 10 the lower part of a tibia and at 12 an embankment, said ankle being equipped with an ankle prosthesis 14.
    As illustrated in FIG. 2, the ankle prosthesis comprises a tibial part 16 connected to the lower end of the tibia 10 (not shown in FIG. 2), a talar part 18 connected to the slope 12 (not shown in the figure
    2) as well as a pad 20 interposed between the tibial part 16 and the talar part 18.
    In FIGS. 4 to 7, the tibial part 16 is shown in detail. It comprises a body 22 in the form of a plate with on one side a concave, curved articular surface 24, having a flat 124 and on the other side of the means 26 for anchoring to the shin 10.
    According to an important characteristic of the invention, the articular surface 24 is not flat but curved.
    According to one embodiment, the articular surface 24 comprises a portion of a sphere. The sphere may be of equal radius or the spherical portion may be slightly deformed. By this is meant that the radii of curvature R and R ’can observe slight variations along the x / x and y / y axes.
    Thus, according to one embodiment, the portion of sphere can be of a radius R varying from 30 to 90 mm, preferably of the order of 50 mm.
    According to one embodiment, the articular surface 24 comprises a second radius of curvature R ’(slightly different from R to form a slightly deformed sphere), varying for example from 20 to 80 mm, preferably of the order of 50mm.
    According to this embodiment, the articular surface 24 thus adopts a substantially spherical shape with radii of curvature R and R ′, the radius of curvature R being situated along an axis x / x (axis defined by the front and the rear of the foot) and the radius of curvature R 'lying along an axis y / y (y / y is perpendicular to x / x and y is an axis defined by the right and the left of the foot). Preferably, the R / R ’ratio is greater than 1, more preferably still greater than 1.2. The radius of curvature along the x / x axis is generally larger than the radius of curvature along the y / y axis. The radius of curvature along the axis x / x is the radius of curvature which accompanies the shoe 20 in its movements (from front to back of the foot). This configuration allows a better distribution of contact pressures and a better transmission of forces between the pad 20 and the tibial part 16 which tends to reduce the stresses at the level of the anchoring.
    According to one embodiment, the center of the sphere defined by the radius (s) R and / or R 'is arranged on an axis 28 slightly inclined in the vertical longitudinal plane of the foot, the center being offset towards the forefoot.
    According to the invention, the articular surface 24 has a flat 124 located in the posterior extension of the articular surface 24. The term "posterior extension" of the articular surface 24 means the part of the articular surface 24 directed towards the heel, towards the back of the foot. This configuration avoids a modification of the anatomical axis of rotation during the patient's movement thanks to a perfect distribution of stresses on the cortical tibial bone. A decrease in the stress peak on the pad 20 is also observed. We thus observe perfect posterior tibial coverage. According to one embodiment, the flat 124 has a width 11 of between 2 and 8 mm, preferably between 4 and 6 mm (11 being measured at the center of the flat) and a length L1 of between 10 and 35 mm, preferably between 15 and 25 mm.
    Preferably, the body 22 has a trapezoidal shape, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the small base 30 being directed towards the heel. This arrangement facilitates the establishment of the tibial part 16 which is introduced from the front of the ankle. According to this embodiment, the flat 124 is preferably located at the level of the small base 30 of the trapezoid-shaped body.
    According to one embodiment, the tibial part 16 of the ankle prosthesis has a length L2 between 30 and 100 mm, preferably between 35 and 85 mm and a width I2 between 10 and 40 mm, preferably between 15 and 30 mm.
    According to another characteristic of the invention, the means 26 for anchoring the tibial part comprise a removable keel 32. This feature reduces manufacturing costs. Indeed, from a limited number of pins and a limited number of tibial parts, it is possible to obtain a large number of combinations likely to correspond to the majority of patients. The removable keel 32 is illustrated in detail in Figures 3A and 3B. It comprises a frustoconical body with a rounded distal end 34. According to the embodiments, the axis 36 of the frustoconical body can be straight or curved depending on the anatomy of the patient. To ensure better fixation, the keel body includes grooves at the periphery. In addition, depending on the case, the distal part may include a flat 38.
    In the lower part, the removable keel 32 comprises means 40 for connection with the tibial part 16.
    The anchoring means 26 may also include two cylinders 42 connected by lugs 44 to the body 22 of the tibial part at the rear surface 46, opposite the articular surface 24. These two cylinders 42 have substantially parallel axes 48 which extend in the longitudinal direction of the foot. These two cylinders 42 are slightly offset from the rear surface 46 and are capable of being housed in substantially tubular tunnels or conduits 50 formed in the lower part of the tibia 10, as illustrated in FIG. 1B. This arrangement contributes to obtaining a solid anchorage by limiting the use of cement.
    Preferably, the axes 48 are not parallel to the rear surface 46 of the tibial part and form an angle of a few degrees, of the order of 4 °. This arrangement makes it possible to obtain an articular surface 24 slightly inclined towards the rear of the foot, which contributes to improving the rotational movement of the foot in the longitudinal vertical plane.
    According to one embodiment, the means 40 for connecting the removable keel 32 to the tibial part 16 comprise two symmetrical grooves 52 formed in the lower part of the keel 32, the shapes of which are capable of cooperating with the outer surfaces of the cylinders 42, the keel having in the lower part a diameter greater than the distance separating the two cylinders 42. Thus, to assemble the removable keel 32 and the tibial part 16, it is advisable to place the grooves 52 in the extension of the cylinders 42 and to slide them along the cylinders to the desired position. At least one stop may be provided at at least one cylinder to limit the translational movement of the keel relative to the tibial part.
    The shapes of the end of the keel 32 make it possible to obtain a removable connection with the tibial part by cooperating with the shapes of said tibial part.
    According to a characteristic of the invention, the keel 32 comprises a transverse orifice 54 allowing the installation of a screw, a key, a pin or the like capable of passing at least partially through the lower part of the tibia 10 This arrangement improves the anchoring of the tibial part by ensuring a primary fixation making it possible to limit or avoid the use of cement and allows the immediate fixation of the cortical cover practiced for the passage of the keel.
    In FIGS. 12 to 15, the talar part 18 is shown in detail.
    This part comprises a body with an articular surface56 in the upper part and means 58 for anchoring to the slope 12 in the lower part.
    The articular surface 56 comprises, in the longitudinal direction, a profile with a radius of curvature r varying for example from 20 to 30 mm, and preferably of the order of 24mm, as illustrated in FIG. 15.
    According to one embodiment of the invention, the radius r of the articular surface 56 of the talar part is less than the radius R, and if necessary the radii R and R ’, of the articular surface 24 of the tibial part. The difference in radius and in particular the increase in curvature of the tibial slope increases the importance of the friction forces and avoids the anterior or posterior expulsion of the skate.
    In the transverse direction, as illustrated in FIG. 14, the talian part 18 comprises a profile with two undulations, two convex parts 60, with a radius of about 8 mm, separated by a concave part 62 with a radius of about 3mm.
    This arrangement makes it possible to obtain better guidance of the movement of the pin in a longitudinal vertical plane.
    Preferably, the lateral edges of the articular surface 56 have a greater radius of curvature of the order of 25 to 30 mm.
    According to one embodiment, the means 58 for anchoring the talar part comprise a central stud 64, of rectangular section, with a distal end at a point for better positioning. Preferably, the central stud 64 comprises a transverse orifice 66 improving the bone recovery.
    According to a characteristic of the invention, the anchoring means 58 preferably comprise at least one stop 68 disposed under the talar part 18, at the rear edge 70, to prevent the tilting of the talar part 18 towards the front of the foot, as illustrated in figure 15.
    Preferably, the talar portion 18 comprises two stops 68 arranged in a substantially symmetrical manner relative to the longitudinal median axis for better stability.
    According to one embodiment, the stops 68 have a section (along a horizontal plane) with a pointed shape directed towards the front for better immobilization in the bone.
    According to one embodiment, the tibial part 16 and the talar part 18 are made of any biocompatible material, for example a highly alloyed steel, with a high surface hardness at the articular surfaces 24, 56.
    In FIGS. 8 to 11, the shoe 20 is shown in detail. It comprises a body of rectangular section with, in the upper part, a first contact surface 72 capable of cooperating with the articular surface 24 of the tibial part and, in the lower part, a second contact surface 74 capable of cooperating with the articular surface 56 of the talar part.
    Preferably, the contact surface 72 has shapes adapted to those of the articular surface 24, in particular adapted to the curved, concave surface of the articular surface 24, and in this case comprises a substantially spherical convex shape of radius R and where appropriate, radii R and R 'when the curved surface 24 has two different radii of curvature.
    The contact surface 74 has shapes adapted to those of the articular surface 56, and comprises according to a preferred embodiment, a radius of concave curvature r in the longitudinal plane.
    Advantageously, the contact surface 74 has a surface less than the contact surface 72, the transverse side walls 76 forming an angle of the order of 60 °.
    The shoe 20 comprises means to facilitate its gripping and its positioning, for example in the form of at least one small conduit 78 at the level of the transverse lateral walls 76.
    Preferably, the pad 20 is made of a material with a low coefficient of friction, for example high density polyethylene.
    Of course, the invention is obviously not limited to the embodiment shown and described above, but on the contrary covers all its variants, in particular with regard to the shapes, dimensions and materials of the various elements of the prosthesis.
