Abstract
A glenoid replacement system, that is securable to a scapula of a patient, may include a glenoid implant. The glenoid implant may further include a prosthetic glenoid articular surface configured to articulate with one of the following: a natural humeral articular surface; an anatomic prosthetic humeral articular surface; and/or a reverse prosthetic humeral articular surface. The glenoid implant may also include a scapular tunnel anchoring feature positioned such that, with the glenoid implant implanted on the scapula, the scapular tunnel anchoring feature is aligned with a scapular tunnel of the scapula to facilitate retention of the glenoid implant on the scapula with a scapular tunnel fastener inserted into the scapular tunnel.
Claims21
A glenoid replacement system securable to a scapula of a patient, the glenoid replacement system comprising a glenoid implant comprising:
- a prosthetic glenoid articular surface configured to articulate with one of:
- a natural humeral articular surface;
- an anatomic prosthetic humeral articular surface;
- and
- a reverse prosthetic humeral articular surface;
- and
- a scapular tunnel anchoring feature positioned such that, with the glenoid implant implanted on the scapula, the scapular tunnel anchoring feature is aligned with a scapular tunnel of the scapula to facilitate retention of the glenoid implant on the scapula with a scapular tunnel fastener inserted into the scapular tunnel.
A glenoid replacement system securable to a scapula of a patient, the glenoid replacement system comprising a glenoid implant comprising:
- a prosthetic glenoid articular surface configured to articulate with one of:
- a natural humeral articular surface;
- an anatomic prosthetic humeral articular surface;
- and
- a reverse prosthetic humeral articular surface;
- and
- a first superior anchoring feature selected from a group consisting of:
- a coracoid process anchoring feature configured to secure the glenoid implant to a coracoid process of the scapula;
- and
- an acromion process anchoring feature configured to secure the glenoid implant to an acromion process of the scapula.
A glenoid replacement system securable to a scapula of a patient, the glenoid replacement system comprising a glenoid implant comprising:
- a prosthetic glenoid articular surface configured to articulate with one of:
- a natural humeral articular surface;
- an anatomic prosthetic humeral articular surface;
- and
- a reverse prosthetic humeral articular surface;
- and
- a superior bracing surface configured such that, with the glenoid implant implanted on the scapula, the superior bracing surface is oriented superiorly and positioned to abut an acromion of the scapula to limit superior migration of the glenoid implant on the scapula.
A glenoid replacement system securable to a scapula of a patient, the glenoid replacement system comprising a glenoid implant comprising:
- a prosthetic glenoid articular surface configured to articulate with one of:
- a natural humeral articular surface;
- an anatomic prosthetic humeral articular surface;
- and
- a reverse prosthetic humeral articular surface;
- and
- a first clamp configured to grip a bony protuberance of the scapula to secure the glenoid implant relative to the bony protuberance.
