A glenoid component in one embodiment includes a base component with a planar upper circular rim defining a first plane, a receptacle opening to the first plane, and a lower planar circular surface defining a second plane parallel to the first plane. An articulating component of the glenoid component includes an upper articulating surface, a lower cylindrical coupling portion configured to be inserted into the receptacle, and an overhang portion located above the lower cylindrical coupling portion and beneath the upper articulating surface. The overhang portion includes a planar lower surface extending outwardly from the lower cylindrical coupling portion and configured to abut the planar upper circular rim of the base component when the articulating component is coupled to the base component.

Revision glenoid device method

A combination device for use in preparing a bone to receive a prosthetic component includes a body section. A drill section configured to bore a hole in the bone and extending away from the body portion defines a first longitudinal axis and a first maximum radius perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. A plurality of reaming fins extend downwardly from the body portion and outwardly from the drill section. A first drill guide extends through the body at a location between two of the plurality of reaming fins, the first drill guide defines a second longitudinal axis parallel to the first longitudinal axis and a second maximum radius perpendicular to the second longitudinal axis. The first longitudinal axis is spaced apart from the second longitudinal axis by a distance which is greater than the first maximum radius plus the second maximum radius.

Combination device for use in preparing a bone to receive a prosthetic component

A method of using a combination device includes accessing a glenoid of a shoulder and coupling a power extension and the combination device, the power extension configured to couple with a power tool. The method further includes reaming a portion of the accessed glenoid using the coupled power extension and combination device and then decoupling the power extension and the combination device. Next, a manual extension and the combination device are coupled and the coupled manual extension is used to align a first drill guide of the combination device with a desired trajectory of a first fixation peg of a glenoid component with the combination device positioned against the reamed portion of the accessed glenoid. A drill bit is guided with the aligned first drill guide to bore a first fixation peg bore in the glenoid.

Method using a combination reamer/drill bit for shoulder arthroplasty

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 method of preparing a shoulder to receive a glenoid component in one embodiment includes accessing a glenoid of a shoulder, applying a rotational force to a combination device, forming a first bore in the glenoid with a rotating boring section of the combination device, forming a second bore in the glenoid at a location spaced apart from the first bore using a first drill guide defined by the combination device, and reaming a portion of the glenoid with a rotating reaming section of the combination device, wherein forming a first bore and reaming a portion of the glenoid occur at least partially simultaneously.

A glenoid component in one embodiment includes a base component with a planar upper circular rim defining a first plane, a receptacle opening to the first plane, a lower planar circular surface defining a second plane parallel to the first plane, and a conical outer wall extending from the upper circular rim to the lower planar circular surface. The glenoid component includes an articulating component with an upper articulating surface and a lower coupling portion configured to be inserted into the receptacle.

Method using combination reamer/drill bit for shoulder arthroplasty

A method of implanting a revision glenoid component in one embodiment includes accessing a previously implanted glenoid component in a scapula, removing the previously implanted glenoid component, identifying an inferior glenoid circle center of the scapula, preparing a glenoid fossa of the scapula to receive a revision glenoid component, selecting a revision glenoid component, and implanting the selected revision glenoid component based upon the identified inferior glenoid circle center in the prepared glenoid fossa.

Provided herein is an osteosynthesis device for articular fracture fixation, more particularly for fixation of shoulder, knee, elbow, ankle and wrist fractures. The osteosynthesis device comprises an articular supportive plate for supporting the articular surface of a long bone, said articular supportive plate comprising (i) at least one pin receiving feature for receiving a pin or a screw; and (ii) at least one fin projecting from a first side of said articular supportive plate, said fin being provided with one or more pin receiving features for receiving a pin or screw. Further provided herein are systems for articular fracture fixation, and methods of fixating an articular fracture in a long bone using such systems.

Articular fracture fixation system and method

An instrumentation kit for use in preparing a shoulder to receive a glenoid component in one embodiment includes at least one combination device, the combination device including a boring section configured to form a first bore in a glenoid, a drive section operably connected to the boring section, a reaming section positioned proximally from the boring section and operably connected to the drive section, the reaming section configured to ream a portion of the glenoid, and at least one drill guide configured to guide a drill bit and positioned so as to guide the drill bit to form a second bore at a location spaced apart from the first bore, wherein the reaming section and the boring section are positioned with respect to each other such that the boring section forms the first bore and the reaming section simultaneously reams a portion of the glenoid adjacent to the first bore.

Combination reamer/drill bit for shoulder arthoplasty

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 kit for implanting a glenoid component in one embodiment includes a retroversion glenoid component including a generally flat glenoid bone contacting surface defining a first plane, a first offset peg extending away from the glenoid bone contacting surface, a concave articulating surface, an upper surface extending about the concave articulating surface and generally opposite to the glenoid bone contacting surface, the upper surface defining a second plane, the second plane angled with respect to the first plane, and a drill guide configured to guide a drill in forming a bore in a scapula to receive the first offset peg.

Device and method for retroversion correction for shoulder arthroplasty

A method of shoulder arthroplasty in one embodiment includes accessing a scapula, identifying an inferior glenoid circle center of the scapula, preparing a glenoid fossa of the scapula to receive a prosthesis, selecting a glenoid component, and implanting the selected glenoid component based upon the identified inferior glenoid circle center in the prepared glenoid fossa.
