The invention features a glenoid (shoulder socket) implant prosthesis, a humeral implant prosthesis, devices for implanting glenoid and humeral implant prostheses, and less invasive methods of their use for the treatment of an injured or damaged shoulder.

Provided is a novel joint replacement prosthesis that includes a base component, and one or more modular stems. The base component includes a bone-facing surface including one or more stem connectors configured for receiving and forming connections with the one or more modular stems inserted from the bone-facing surface side.

The invention features a glenoid (shoulder socket) implant prosthesis, a humeral implant prosthesis, devices for implanting glenoid and humeral implant prostheses, and less invasive methods of their use for the treatment of an injured or damaged shoulder.

An orthopedic implant includes a porous insert having a first insert portion having a first insert thickness and a second insert portion having a second insert thickness. The implant includes a non-metallic structure having a first non-metallic portion having a first non-metallic thickness and a second non-metallic portion having a second non-metallic thickness. The first non-metallic portion is attached to the first insert portion and the second non-metallic portion is attached to the second insert portion. Either or both of the second insert thickness being different from the first insert thickness and the second non-metallic thickness being different from the first non-metallic thickness. The porous insert includes a porous projection extending into the non-metallic structure.

A modular humeral implant for an inverted shoulder prosthesis includes a humeral stem having, on the one hand, a diaphyseal keel of elongate shape, extending along a diaphyseal axis and shaped to be engaged in a medullary cavity of a humerus, and, on the other hand, a metaphyseal portion. A humeral spacer is mounted on the metaphyseal portion of the humeral stem and has a lower face facing the metaphyseal portion, the lower face having a peripheral portion projecting laterally from the metaphyseal portion and covered at least partially with a porous or rough metal surface coating promoting an osseointegration. A humeral insert is fastened on the humeral spacer and has a hemispherical cup shaped to receive a glenosphere of a glenoid implant.

A spinal implant device has a synthetic or metallic or a combination thereof of these materials in an implant body structure and stem cells in a coating, or a sheet, wrap or a membrane wrap applied to surfaces on the implant body structure or alternatively filled with a plug of stem cell laden material. The implant body structure preferably has an aperture or channel The spinal implant device may include anchoring holes to secure the device to the spinal skeletal structure with fasteners or alternatively can simply be held in place by and between adjacent vertebrae.
