Implants, device, systems and methods for replacing an articulation surface in a joint, for example, shoulder prostheses with stemless humeral components or stemmed humeral components. Methods for using the shoulder prostheses with stemless humeral components or stemmed humeral components are also disclosed.

A modular reverse shoulder prosthesis, comprising: a stem (110) comprising a tapered body (111) and a first annular housing (112); a tray (120) comprising a dome element (121) for insertion into the first annular housing (112), and further comprising a second annular housing (122); a liner (130) comprising an engaging element (131) for at least partial insertion into the dome element (121), and further comprising a joint concave element (132) configured for coupling with the second annular housing (122). The second annular housing (122) of the tray (120) comprises a raised edge (123) configured to support the joint concave element (132) and which defines an overall outline having a different development in height at least in diametrically opposite portions (123a; 123b) of the tray (120).

The invention concerns a method for manufacturing a prosthesis (11) for a fractured long bone of a patient, the method comprising the steps of: A) providing data representative of the fractured long bone, the fractured long bone comprising a diaphyseal fragment (2) comprising a medullary cavity (8); B) based on said data, designing the prosthesis specifically to the patient, the prosthesis comprising a stem part (12) configured to be inserted into the medullary cavity, step B) comprising: a sub-step of choosing, specifically to the patient, a contact zone (40) of the medullary cavity onto which a respective chosen mechanical stress is planned to be applied by the stem part, and a sub-step of designing the stem part so that the stem part may be inserted into the medullary cavity and thus apply the chosen mechanical stress to said contact zone; and C) manufacturing the prosthesis designed at step B).

The invention concerns a prosthesis comprising: a stem part comprising: a rod, configured for being inserted into a medullary cavity of a diaphyseal fragment of a fractured long bone, for securing the stem part to the diaphyseal fragment, and an epiphyseal end, fixedly secured to the rod by means of at least one linker leg of the stem part, so that a gap is formed between the epiphyseal end and the rod along said at least one linker leg; and an implant distinct from the stem part and comprising: an internal part located at least partially within the gap, and at least one fastener for fastening epiphyseal fragments of the fractured long bone to the stem part, said at least one fastener being secured to the internal part.

A surgical shoulder articulation replacement method is provided. The method can include providing a humeral implant having a hollow stem. The hollow stem can be provided with a sharp distal edge. The method can include impacting the humeral implant in a cancellous bone of a humeral head of a patient, with the sharp distal edge cutting the cancellous bone in the process.

The present inventions relate to devices and methods that improve the positioning and fit of orthopedic reconstructive joint replacement stem implants relative to existing methods. For example, an embodiment of the device provides a stem component comprising proximal and distal body portions that can be configured to mimic a geometric shape of a central cavity region created in a bone of a joint for improving conformance and fixation of the stem component thereto. Further, another embodiment provides a system of stem implants that each have a unique medial offset for facilitating the matching of an implant to the geometry of a central cavity region of a bone. Additionally, an inclination angle of a resection surface of each of the implants in the system can remain constant or vary as a function of the medial offset.

In one embodiment, a humeral implant is provided that includes a hollow stem and a mounting end. The hollow stem has a sharp distal edge. The mounting end has a mounting hole and a mounting channel disposed about the mounting hole. The mounting hole is configured to receive a tapered projection of an anatomic articular body. The mounting channel is configured to receive an annular projection of a reverse articular body.

Disclosed herein are an implant with an attachment feature and a method for attaching to the same. The implant may include a cavity with a porous layer disposed within a non-porous layer wherein the non-porous layer defines a chamber. The chamber may receive and confine liquefiable material and direct liquefiable material to permeate through the porous layer. A method of attaching a device to the implant may include liquefying a liquefiable portion of the device and allowing the liquefied material to interdigitate with the second layer and then solidify to prevent pullout.
