Abstract
A humeral prosthesis includes a stem component with a lateral stem body and a head component joined by an inclination component or block. The stem component and the inclination component are provided with openings/holes/fenestrations/eyelets that allow attachment of soft tissue (and optional fracture repair). A first plurality of suture holes are provided to the lateral stem body and a second plurality of suture holes are provided on the medial aspect of the inclination block. These suture holes are intended for subscapularis or lesser tuberosity reattachments. Inclination angle, radial offset, and version are adjustable and are separately and independently set and fixed.
