A stemless humeral head replacement system including a base plate and a humeral head implant. The base plate includes a bone facing side, an implant side opposite the bone facing side, a curvate perimeter, at least one fin protruding from the bone facing side a first distance and extending linearly a length along the bone facing side, and an implant engagement structure on the implant side. The humeral head implant includes a curvate implant surface and a base plate engagement structure opposite the curvate implant surface, the base plate engagement structure configured to couple to the implant engagement structure of the base plate.

A stemmed implant comprises a proximal body with a distal shaft extending from the proximal body. The proximal body exterior may be spherical, conical, cylindrical, or another surface of revolution. The distal shaft comprises multiple longitudinal ridges which may originate from the proximal body as separate columns, or which may merge together. The distal shaft and/or the ridges may become narrower as they extend away from the proximal body.

A humeral head implant system includes a head component including a first articulating surface, a second bottom surface extending from the first spherical articulating surface, a first cavity extending a first distance into the head component from the second bottom surface, and a second cavity extending into the head component along a cavity axis. The head component defines a head axis extending through a center of the first articulating surface parallel to the cavity axis. A base component defines a slot extending from a first width to a second width. An insert component includes an insert body, a first engagement feature, and a slot engagement feature. The first engagement feature is received in the second cavity along the cavity axis. The insert body has an insert thickness less than the first distance, and the slot engagement feature slides into the slot in a direction transverse to the cavity axis.

A humeral implant is disclosed. The implant has a humeral surface component and a stem. The humeral surface component has an articular surface and is configured for fixation to an articular portion of a proximal humerus. The stem is configured for post-surgery axial movement within the humerus. The stem is connected to the humeral surface component opposite of the articular surface. A method of implanting a humeral implant is also disclosed.

Disclosed herein is a humeral head trial, a system for humeral trialing, and a method for removing a humeral head trial from a humeral stem. The humeral head trial may include a first portion, a second portion, and a post extending from the second portion. The first portion may define a convex articular surface with a movable surface substantially flush with the convex articular surface. The post may define a first length in a first configuration and a second length in a second configuration. The first length may be greater than the second length. The post may change from the first configuration to the second configuration by moving the movable surface with respect to the convex articular surface.

A humeral head assembly is provided that includes an articular body and a coupler. The articular body includes a coupling portion disposed on a side of the articular body opposite an articular surface. The coupling portion includes a continuous zone of eccentricity adjustment. The coupler portion optionally includes one or more than one discrete position site. The coupler includes a first portion and a second portion opposite the first portion. The first portion is configured to mate with the coupling portion and the second portion is configured to mate with another member of a joint prosthesis. A coupling portion with the continuous range of eccentricity adjustment can be provided on a bone anchor and the eccentricity of another component can be selected by motion of a coupler, such as a tray for reverse humeral assemblies, along the coupling portion of the anchor.

A trial neck piece for a joint endoprosthesis is designed for temporary arrangement on a separate shaft body (60) that is insertable into a tubular bone (9). It comprises a fastening region (12) which can be plugged temporarily onto a head part (61) of the shaft body (60) by means of a plug connection (l l), and a neck region (IO) for receiving a joint element (19) of the joint endoprosthesis. The trial neck piece (I) is designed as a separate, plug-on attachment piece which, with its fastening region (12), can be plugged with form-fit engagement onto the head part (61) and locked. A latching device (2) is provided which comprises a plurality of latching stages for different height stages of the trial neck piece (I). The invention thus makes available an easily attachable trial neck piece which can be arranged in a defined manner in different height positions in order, on the one hand, to obtain a secure and defined arrangement and, on the other hand, to permit the setting of different heights. The invention further relates to an arrangement with a trial neck piece and with an excavating tool, in particular a reamer, and to an instrument set comprising a trial neck piece and an insertion instrument.

A humeral implant is provided. The implant includes a humeral stem including a plurality of fins. At least one fin comprises a serrated bottom edge. A radial distance between an inner bottom edge of the at least one fin and a centerline of the humeral implant increases along a distal length of extension of the at least one fin. At least the serrated bottom edge of the at least one fin is configured to cut into and compact bone of the metaphysis of a humerus toward relatively denser cancellous bone of a peripheral portion of the humerus when press-fit therein, thereby providing sufficient press-fitting for cementless fixation of the humeral stem into the humerus. Related kits and methods are also provided.
