The invention relates to a modular humeral prosthesis for an inverse shoulder prosthesis, comprising an anatomical shaft () and a separable epiphyseal head () which may be angularly orientated by rotation about the longitudinal axis (XX) of the anatomical shaft. The anatomical shaft and the epiphyseal head comprise complementary angular indexing means () for relative rotational fixation.

Modular humeral prosthesis for an inverted shoulder prosthesis

A humeral component of a reverse shoulder prosthesis includes a stem part configured for location within the intramedullary cavity of the humerus, the stem part having a stem axis, an epiphyseal part connected to the elongate stem part and having a concave bearing surface defining an epiphyseal axis, and wherein the epiphyseal axis is offset posteriorly relative to the stem axis.

Humeral component of a shoulder joint prosthesis

A shoulder prosthesis assembly includes a metaglenoid element () having a plate () with a central tubular bushing () and members for anchoring it in the glenoid cavity. The assembly also includes a glenoid sphere () that fits over the metaglenoid element which has an axial screw that is () screwed into the bushing. The glenoid sphere has a member to facilitate installation thereof on the metaglenoid element. The member may include a pin () adapted to slide in the tubular bushing () and in an axial channel of the screw, so that the glenoid sphere () can be screwed into place without any risk of damaging the thread of the screw or the tapping of the bushing.
