A modular reverse shoulder prosthesis, comprising: a stem () comprising a tapered body () and a first annular housing (); a tray () comprising a dome element () for insertion into the first annular housing (), and further comprising a second annular housing (); a liner () comprising an engaging element () for at least partial insertion into the dome element (), and further comprising a joint concave element () configured for coupling with the second annular housing (). The second annular housing () of the tray () comprises a raised edge () configured to support the joint concave element () and which defines an overall outline having a different development in height at least in diametrically opposite portions () of the tray ().

Modular reverse shoulder prosthesis

A glenoid positioning device (), in particular for a Kirschner wire, comprising: a hub () with a reference through-hole () and comprising three housings () arranged radially; three slide elements () slidably housed within the three housings (), respectively, and configured to interact with a glenoid cavity; wherein the three slide elements () are configured to be radially extended or retracted to identify a circular area () of a glenoid cavity.

Glenoid positioning device

The present invention relates to a shoulder prosthesis comprising:—a metaglene element () or baseplate;—a pin () projecting from said metaglene element ();—a through-hole () in the centre of said metaglene element ();—at least one through-hole () formed in a periphery of the metaglene element () with respect to said central through-hole ();—a glenosphere element () opposite said pin () with respect to said metaglene element ();—a central compression screw () housed in said through-hole () in the centre of said metaglene element () and having a head abutting onto the bottom of said hole (); and—wherein the central through-hole () has an opening (A) that is threaded in a stretch to receive the end of a safety screw () passing through the glenosphere element ();—a connector element () between the metaglene element () and the glenosphere element (), the metaglene element () providing a seat () for housing the connector element () projecting around the central through-hole ().

Shoulder prosthesis

Customizable scapular anchor () for fixing a glenoid component of a shoulder joint prosthesis to a patient's scapula with compromised anatomy, comprising a glenoid support (), said glenoid support () being defined by a pin element () for fixing said glenoid component to said scapular anchor () and by a flange () integral with said pin element (), said flange () having a distal surface () adapted to be placed at least partially in contact with a glenoid cavity of said scapula and a proximal surface () opposite said distal surface (); wherein at least one customized portion () is specifically shaped with respect to the bone morphology of a single patient's scapula with compromised anatomy; the customized portion () comprises at least one coracoid support projection () arranged to abut at a coracoid process () of the scapula ().

Prosthesis element

The invention relates to a method for surgical application of a glenoid anchor of a shoulder joint prosthesis and instruments advantageously used in the method. The method includes making a delto-pectoral incision providing a delto-pectoral access to a shoulder joint; with the delto-pectoral access being suitable for inserting at least one machining tool; and making a trans-deltoid incision providing a trans-deltoid access to the humeral head; with the trans-deltoid access being suitable for inserting a stem of a machining instrument to be mounted on the machining tool for machining the glenoid cavity.

Method for surgical application of a glenoid prosthesis component of a shoulder joint prosthesis and relating surgical instruments

The present invention relates to an improved glenoid anchor for a shoulder joint prosthesis, in particular a convertible prosthesis, of the type intended to be fixed to the glenoid cavity of the shoulder blade and comprising: &#x2014;a pin () with an internally hollow and essentially thimble-like conical sleeve (), which has a tapered distal end () and an open proximal end (); &#x2014;an annular recess () formed inside the cavity () of the pin () in the vicinity of said open proximal end (), for receiving by means of snap-engagement an edge () of a lug () of a prosthesis component (); &#x2014;at least one pair of oppositely arranged anti-rotation notches () in the proximity of said annular groove () for receiving by means of snap fit oppositely arranged teeth () of the same lug () intended to be snap-engaged together with said pin ().

Glenoid anchor for a shoulder joint prosthesis

A method for the removal of a bone insert for a shoulder prosthesis, which provides for: forming a hole inside a proximal bone portion; inserting in the hole an operating end of an instrument provided with a moveable cutting element deep-cutting a distal base of the bone insert, by rotating the instrument through 360 degrees around its longitudinal axis; removing the instrument from the hole; inserting and fixing a pin element inside the hole; milling the bone insert; removing the bone insert and the pin element attached thereto.

Instrument for the removal of a bone insert and corresponding method

Acetabular prosthesis comprising an acetabular cup, an acetabular insert, able to be stably coupled inside the acetabular cup and configured to receive an articulation head and a centering unit configured to guide and center the insertion and stable positioning of the acetabular insert in the acetabular cup. The centering unit comprises a centering hole provided in the acetabular cup and a centering pin provided on the acetabular insert and which develops along a centering axis, configured to be inserted in the centering hole. The centering pin is provided with an external lateral surface that has an undulating development along the centering axis.
