Abstract
Humeral prosthetic implants, systems, kits and methods of forming and using the humeral prosthetic implants, systems and kits are disclosed. The humeral prosthetic implants include proximal cup portions and distal stem portions, wherein the proximal cup portion is joined to the distal stem portion at a desired offset and/or angle configured based on an analysis of the humeral diaphysis and/or metaphysis offset in a patient. The humeral prosthetic implants may also include an adapter configured to join the proximal cup component with the stem component, wherein the adapter is configured to join the stem component to the stemless cup at a desired offset and/or angle.

A pre-operative planning method for designing a humeral prosthetic implant having a proximal cup including a distal stem projecting outwardly from a surface of the proximal cup at at least one of an offset and an angle, the method comprising:
- analyzing one or more of humerus stem size, length, head diameter, head height, head offset, rotation (axial), humeral diaphysis and/or metaphysis offset of a patient to be treated.
A method of treating a patient comprising:
- providing a patient to be treated;
- completing a pre-operative planning process for designing a humeral prosthetic implant device;
- creating a humeral prosthetic implant based upon pre-operative planning;
- and
- treating the patient using and/or surgically implanting the humeral prosthetic implant.
A pre-operative planning and shoulder surgery kit, comprising:
- a set of instructions for performing measurements;
- and
- one or more humeral prosthetic implant devices, comprising a proximal cup, a distal stem projecting outwardly from a surface of the proximal cup at at least one of an offset and an angle, and a dual taper adapter configured to join the proximal cup with the distal stem.
