Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a kit that includes a humeral stem having a central longitudinal axis, the humeral stem configured to attach to a resected bone; a first tuberosity component having a first thickness relative to the central longitudinal axis of the humeral stem; a second tuberosity component having a second thickness relative to the central longitudinal axis of the humeral stem, wherein the first thickness of the first tuberosity component is different than the second thickness of the second tuberosity component; and at least one proximal segment configured to engage at least one of the first tuberosity component and the second tuberosity component. In an embodiment, the first thickness of the first tuberosity component is at least 20 mm relative to the central axis of the humeral stem, and the second thickness of the second tuberosity component is at least 20 mm relative to the central axis of the humeral stem.
Abstract:
A kit including (1) a plate configured to be secured to a scapular spine with a first end of the plate near a trigonum and a second end of the plate near an acromion; (2) a first hook including a mount, a first hook portion extending from the mount in a first direction, a spacer extending from the first hook portion in a transverse direction, and a second hook portion extending from an opposite end of the spacer in the first direction, the first hook adapted to extend around a lateral end of the acromion when fixed to the second end of the plate; and (3) a second hook including a mount, a curved portion curving away from the mount, and a hook portion at an opposite end of the curved portion, the second hook adapted to extend around the trigonum when fixed to the first end of the plate.

Abstract:
In some embodiments, the present invention provides a reverse shoulder glenoid prosthesis which supports the attachment of multiple different types of modular attachments that can: 1) provide additional scapular fixation (ie external to the glenoid) in order to improve glenoid implant fixation in cases of severe bone loss/fracture, 2) provide joint line lateralization to improve tissue stability in cases of severe glenoid/scapula bone loss, 3) facilitate use and containment of glenoid bone graft in cases of severe glenoid/scapula bone loss—particularly in those cases in which the glenoid defect is uncontained/peripheral 4) achieve glenoid fixation while at the same time reconstructing the scapular bone in cases of scapula fractures, glenoid fractures, and/or acromial fractures, and 5) provide improved rTSA joint biomechanics, particularly posterior rotator cuff efficiency by changing the line of action of the infraspinatus and teres minor muscles to improve their muscle tension, and also increase each muscle's external rotation and abduction moment arm lengths.
