Prosthetic devices to improve joint mechanics in arthroplasty
Disclosed herein is a kit that includes a humeral stem having a central longitudinal axis, the humeral stem configured to attach to a resected bone; a first tuberosity component having a first thickness relative to the central longitudinal axis of the humeral stem; a second tuberosity component having a second thickness relative to the central longitudinal axis of the humeral stem, wherein the first thickness of the first tuberosity component is different than the second thickness of the second tuberosity component; and at least one proximal segment configured to engage at least one of the first tuberosity component and the second tuberosity component. In an embodiment, the first thickness of the first tuberosity component is at least 20 mm relative to the central axis of the humeral stem, and the second thickness of the second tuberosity component is at least 20 mm relative to the central axis of the humeral stem.
Advanced Trial Spacers, Height Measuring Tool, and Inserter and Extractor Handle
A trial humeral prosthesis may include a trial stem for implantation into a humerus, and a trial proximal body configured to couple to a trial articulating component. A plurality of trial spacers may be configured to couple the trial stem to the trial proximal body, the plurality of trial spacers including a first trial spacer and a second trial spacer. The first and second trial spacers may each include a proximal post and a tab extending radially outward from the proximal post, and a distal body having a larger outer diameter than an outer diameter of the proximal post, a slot being formed in the distal body. The slot of the distal body of the first trial spacer may be configured to receive the tab of the second trial spacer when the proximal post of the second trial spacer is received within the distal body of the first trial spacer.

In an embodiment, the first thickness of the first tuberosity component is at least 20 mm relative to the central axis of the humeral stem, and the second thickness of the second tuberosity component is at least 20 mm relative to the central axis of the humeral stem.
MODULAR HUMERAL STEM WITH FINE ADJUSTMENT
A humeral stem assembly (100) includes a stem portion (104), a metaphyseal portion 108, and an intermediate spacer (112). The stem portion has a stem engagement feature (144) that has a first plurality of teeth (148). The stem engagement feature is located on a superior end of the stem portion. The metaphyseal portion has a metaphyseal engagement feature (184). The metaphyseal engagement feature can include a second plurality of teeth (188). The metaphyseal engagement feature is located on an inferior end of the metaphyseal portion. The intermediate spacer has a first spacer engagement feature (160) and a second spacer engagement feature (168). The first and second spacer engagements have a third plurality of teeth (164) on an inferior end of the intermediate spacer, and a fourth plurality of teeth (172) on a superior end of the intermediate spacer, respectively.

PATIENT SPECIFIC HUMERAL IMPLANT COMPONENTS
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.
IMPLANT STEM WITH SUTURE RETENTION STRUCTURE
An implantable prosthesis including a stem and a stem head. The stem extends along a longitudinal axis from a proximal end portion to a distal end portion of the stem. The stem head is coupled to the proximal end portion of the stem. The stem head is configured to be coupled to a joint component. The stem head includes a side surface and a side surface cleat. The side surface cleat defines a first side surface groove and a second side surface groove. The side surface cleat extends between the first side surface and the second side surface.

Stem for use in joint arthroplasty
The invention relates to a prosthesis for implantation into a long bone during joint arthroplasty, particularly Total Shoulder Arthoplasty and Total Hip Arthroplasty, and a method for use of the implant.
Modular humeral implant
Modular humeral implants and methods of use. A humeral implant can include a stem portion, a metaphyseal portion, a locking element, and an intermediate portion. The intermediate portion can include at least one spacer. Each spacer can include a proximal engagement feature, a distal engagement feature, a lumen extending longitudinally through the spacer, and a pin slidable within the lumen of the spacer. Distal movement of a locking element in the metaphyseal portion can translate the pin of each spacer to secure the metaphyseal portion, the intermediate portion, and the stem portion in a locked configuration.
