Abstract
A shoulder prosthesis glenoid component which includes a base adapted to be immobilized on a glenoid cavity of a shoulder, and an element including a convex articulation surface adapted to cooperate with a humeral component of the prosthesis. The element is selectively mounted on the base in a plurality of positions corresponding to different positions of the convex articulation surface with respect to the glenoid cavity.
Claims10
A glenoid component for a shoulder prosthesis having a humeral component with a concave articulation surface, the glenoid component including a base adapted to be immobilized on a glenoid cavity of a shoulder and an element including a convex articulation surface adapted to cooperate with the concave articulation surface of the humeral component of the prosthesis, and means for adjustable mounting said element to said base such that said convex articulation surface is selectively positioned with respect to the glenoid cavity.
A shoulder prosthesis comprising, a humeral component having a stem from which extends a concave articulation surface member and a glenoid component, said glenoid component including a base adapted to be immobilized on a glenoid cavity of a shoulder and an element including a convex articulation surface adapted to cooperate with the concave articulation surface of the humeral component of the prosthesis, and means for adjustably mounting said element to said base such that said convex articulation surface is selectively positioned with respect to the glenoid cavity.
