Multiple bearing humeral prosthesis
A prosthesis to replace a portion of the anatomy, such as the humerus, can include a first shell. A second prosthesis can be positioned relative to the shell to provide the bearing surface to articulate with a glenoid prosthesis or glenoid. The second prosthesis can include a connection portion to engage a connection portion in the shell.
REVERSE SHOULDER SYSTEMS
The present disclosure are directed toward an articular assembly configured to be coupled with a bone anchor. The articular assembly may include an articular body having a first end and a second end with an articular surface disposed on or adjacent to the first end. The articular body may include a bone anchor interface disposed between the first end and the second end of the articular body. The bone anchor interface may include a channel formed in a circumferential surface of the articular body, a locking member disposed in the channel, and/or a deflectable portion disposed between the locking member and the second end of the articular body.
Systems for shoulder prostheses
A modular reverse shoulder prosthesis according to embodiments of the present invention includes a stem having a proximal taper and a primary stem axis, the proximal taper extending from the stem about a metaphyseal axis, the metaphyseal axis at an angle with respect to the primary stem axis, a metaphysis having a proximal end, a distal end, a first aperture in the distal end configured to be placed over the proximal taper, and a second aperture in the proximal end having an insert axis that is eccentrically offset from the metaphyseal axis, the metaphysis configured for attachment to the stem at any rotational position of the metaphysis about the metaphyseal axis, and a reverse insert, the reverse insert having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end comprises a concave cup formed about a cup axis and configured to receive a glenosphere, and wherein the distal end comprises a locking protrusion, wherein the locking protrusion has an outer surface with a cross-sectional shape that is rotationally symmetrical about the insert axis with respect to a corresponding inner surface of the second aperture, wherein the rotational symmetry has an order of six, seven, eight, nine, or ten.
CONVERTIBLE STEM / FRACTURE STEM
A modular shoulder prosthesis is provided. The modular prosthesis includes a stem, an anatomic insert, and a reverse insert. The stem is a unitary body that includes a distal shaft portion and a proximal portion. The proximal portion includes a stem face configured to directly couple to both the anatomic insert and reverse insert. The stem face includes a first engagement feature configured to couple directly to the reverse insert and a second engagement feature configured to couple directly to the anatomic insert. The stem can also include a metaphyseal portion between the shaft portion and proximal portion designed for use in humeral fracture repair procedures. The metaphyseal portion can include a medial arm and two lateral arms extending between the shaft portion and proximal portion, A window can be defined between the medial arm and the lateral arms, and a gap can be formed between the lateral arms.
Ceramic Spacer for the Two-Sided Replacement of Implants in Shoulder, Knee and Hip as a Result of Infections
A spacer comprised of individual components as joint replacement in the arthroplasty of shoulder, knee, and hip for the temporary surgical care of infections in the joint. The problems addressed by the invention are those of avoiding an adhesion of the bone to the spacer and a release of wear products, achieving that the patient does substantially not experience any mobility restriction, and keeping the wear and tear of the spacer as little as possible. These problems are solved in that at least one component of the spacer is made of a ceramic material, of a plurality of ceramic materials, or of a non-ceramic material having a ceramic coating.
Humeral joint replacement component
A humeral prosthetic head has a non-spherical articulation surface coupled with an intermediate component connecting the head and the humerus, the intermediate component connected to the epiphysis, metaphysis, or diaphysis, or to one or more additional components connected to the humerus. The intermediate portion provides for axial and angular offset of the head with respect to a connection to the humerus, using a curvilinear tapered engagement.
Arthroscopic tissue scaffold delivery device
A small diameter delivery device capable of delivering a tissue loaded scaffold arthroscopically to a tissue defect or injury site without reducing the pressure at the injury site is provided. The scaffold delivery device of the present invention comprises a plunger system that includes two main components: an insertion tube and an insertion rod. The insertion tube has a flared proximal end for holding a tissue scaffold prior to delivery. An elongate, hollow body extends from the flared proximal end to a distal end of the insertion tube, and defines a passageway that extends through the body for delivery of the tissue scaffold. The insertion rod has an elongate body that extends into a handle at a proximal end and a tip at a distal end. The insertion rod is configured to be removably disposed within the insertion tube for sliding along the passageway to effect delivery of the tissue scaffold through the insertion tube.
HUMERAL TRAYS WITH TUBEROSITY AUGMENTS SUFFICIENTLY DESIGNED TO IMPROVE JOINT MECHANICS
Disclosed is a prosthetic augment designed to reconstruct a lateral tuberosity shape of a humerus in a subject having proximal bone loss that includes a humeral adapter tray configured to connect a humeral liner of a reverse shoulder prosthesis to a humeral stem of the reverse shoulder prosthesis and an augment member having a first face adapted for contacting the humeral stem of the reverse shoulder prosthesis and a second face adapted for contacting an underside of a muscle, wherein at least a portion of the second face includes a bulbous surface adapted to alter a wrapping angle of the muscle around the lateral tuberosity, and wherein the second face has a radius of curvature selected from one of a constant radius of curvature or a variable radius of curvature.
Method for installing a stemless shoulder implant
The present disclosure provides a shoulder prosthesis. The shoulder prosthesis includes a glenoid component, a humeral component, and an articulation component. The glenoid component includes a glenoid body having a proximal side and a distal side, the proximal side shaped to engage with a resected portion of a glenoid cavity. The humeral component includes a humeral body having a proximal side and a distal side, the distal side shaped to engage with a resected portion of a humerus. The articulation component is positionable between the distal side of the glenoid component and the proximal side of the humeral component, the articulation component configured to be maintained between the glenoid and humeral components, after implantation, by at least one of a deltoid muscle and a rotator cuff.
SHOULDER PROSTHESIS COMPONENTS AND ASSEMBLIES
Various embodiments disclosed herein relate to stemmed and stemless humeral anchors for use in shoulder arthroplasty procedures. For example, the humeral anchor can include a first end, a second end, and an interior surface extending between the first end and the second end. The interior surface can be disposed about a recess disposed between the first end and the second end. The recess can be configured to secure a coupling of a shoulder articular body directly to the interior surface.
