Shoulder implants and assembly
An implant is disclosed that has a base member, an articulating member, and a coupling portion that secures the base member to the articulating member. The implant can be a shoulder implant (100, 200, 300) that has a baseplate (102, 230, 310), an articulating component (104, 210), and a fixation component (106, 270, 342). The baseplate includes a first side (110, 234, 314) with a projection (108, 240, 320) that has a first Morse taper and may be offset from a center line of the baseplate and a second side (116, 236, 316) that has a post or stem (114, 250, 330) that is offset from the center line of the baseplate. The articulating component includes a cavity (122, 220) with a second Morse taper that is offset from a center line of the articulating component. The articulating component is attachable to the baseplate when the projection is received in the cavity of the articulation component. A threaded through hole (130, 222) extends from the cavity of the articulating component to a second, convex side or articulating surface (120, 212) thereof. The through hole can be aligned with the cavity. The fixation component (106, 270, 342) can engage the through hole and is contained within a cavity (132, 322, 242) of the baseplate by a spring (138, 262, 360) and a cap (140), a second fixation member (280), or an engagement member (370).
ANCHORING MEMBER FOR A JOINT REPLACEMENT
This disclosure relates to an anchoring member for a joint replacement, comprising a proximal interface part and a distal portion, the distal portion being configured to be anchored within bone tissue and the proximal interface part being configured for mounting a joint member of the joint replacement. The proximal interface part comprises a concave interface surface.
SHOULDER ARTHROPLASTY SYSTEMS AND CONFIGURATIONS FOR COMPONENTS THEREOF
Shoulder arthroplasty systems and configurations for components thereof are described. For example, implant systems for a total should arthroplasty (TSA), hemi shoulder arthroplasty, and reverse should arthroplasty (RSA) are described. In addition, exemplary configurations for baseplates, glenoid components, glenosphere components, humeral components, humeral head components, humerosocket components, connectors, and adaptors, are described.
Intra-articular joint replacement
A method of forming a shoulder prosthesis includes resecting an end portion of a humerus to form a resected end of the humerus and a resected portion separated from the humerus, the resected portion having an outer convex surface and an inner surface. The inner surface of the resected portion is processed to include a concave articular surface. The outer convex surface of the resected portion is implanted in the resected end of the humerus. An implant having a convex articular surface is secured to a glenoid. The concave articular surface of the resected portion is articulated with the convex articular surface of the implant.
MOBILE BEARING REVERSED HUMERAL IMPLANT
An apparatus including a humeral tray (120) configured to be mounted to a proximal end of a humeral stem (100), and an insert (130) positioned on an outer surface of the humeral tray configured to articulate with a glenosphere (110); wherein the insert is not attached to the humeral tray such that the insert can articulate and move relative to the humeral tray.
Ball and socket joint system and method therefor
A system is disclosed herein for providing a kinetic assessment and preparation of a prosthetic joint comprising one or more prosthetic components. The system comprises a prosthetic component including sensors and circuitry configured to measure load, position of load on a curved surface, joint stability, range of motion, and impingement. In one embodiment, the system is for a ball and socket joint of a musculoskeletal system. The system further includes a computer having a display configured to graphical display quantitative measurement data to support rapid assimilation of the information. The kinetic assessment measures joint alignment under loading that will be similar to that of a final joint installation. The kinetic assessment can use trial or permanent prosthetic components. Furthermore, adjustments can be made to the applied load magnitude, position of load, and joint alignment by various means to fine-tune an installation.
GLENOID COMPONENT FOR SHOULDER PROSTHESIS AND RELATED SHOULDER PROSTHESIS
The present invention relates to a glenoid component (100, 600, 800, 1000, 1200) for shoulder prosthesis, comprising: a glenoid coupling surface (101, 1001), adapted to be fixed to a bone and comprising a first convex portion (102) having a first outer edge (103, 1003) which defines a development plane (104, 1004); a prosthetic coupling surface (105, 1005), opposite the glenoid coupling surface (101, 1001) and adapted to house a second prosthetic component of the shoulder prosthesis, the prosthetic coupling surface (105, 1005) comprising a second portion (106) having a second outer edge (107, 1007) which defines a reference plane (108, 1008); wherein the glenoid component (100, 1000) provides a predetermined offset (109, 809, 1009) between the development plane (104, 1004) and the reference plane (108, 1008), so as to define an increased thickness of the glenoid component (100, 1000) adapted to compensate for a bone deficit. The present invention also relates to a shoulder prosthesis.
Glenoidal component, set of such components and shoulder prosthesis incorporating such a glenoidal component
This glenoidal component for a shoulder prosthesis comprises a base which may be immobilized on the glenoid cavity of a shoulder, and an element provided to be mounted on this base and forming a convex surface of articulation centred on an axis of symmetry. This axis of symmetry is non perpendicular to a rear face of the base intended to abut against the glenoid cavity, this making it possible to compensate a defect in parallelism between the resectioned surface of the glenoid cavity and the axis of the patient's spinal column. A surgeon can select the component in which the axes of symmetry of the components are oriented differently with respect to their rear faces.
Augmented glenoid with groove
Disclosed herein is an implant. The implant can include a body and a plurality of fixation members. The body can define an articular surface and a bone engaging surface opposite the articular surface. The bone engaging surface can define a groove that separates a first section of the bone engaging surface from a second section of the bone engaging surface. The plurality of fixation members can extend from the bone engaging surface.
Glenoid implant
A glenoid implant includes a body, a plurality of fins, a collet, and a plug. The body has a central aperture therethrough and a plurality of slots. Each of the plurality of fins are coupled with a respective one of the plurality of slots of the boss of the body such that each of the plurality of fins is configured to move from a first generally inward position towards a second generally outward position. The collet including an interior threaded bore and a plurality of deflectable arms. The plug includes a threaded portion and a tip portion configured to engage with and cause the plurality of deflectable arms of the collet to move and cause the plurality of fins to move from the first generally inward position towards the second generally outward position, thereby aiding in securing the body to a scapula of a patient.
