Abstract: A humeral prosthesis, for the articulation of a humerus in a scapula of a shoulder having a glenoid cavity, includes an articulation device able to be associated both with an articulation element mounted on the glenoid cavity, and also at the top of said humerus by an attachment element. The articulation device comprises a first element able to articulate with the articulation element and a second element associated with the attachment element, the first element and the second element being pivoted to each other around a pivoting axis to allow a free relative rotation thereof around the pivoting axis.

Abstract: A prosthetic element including a cap made of metal material. At least part of the cap is a lattice that makes a plurality of open and intercommunicating cavities.

Abstract: Attachment element for a prosthesis of the shoulder for the articulation of a humerus in a scapula of a shoulder having a glenoid cavity. The prosthesis comprises a first articulation element associated with the top of the humerus, and a second articulation element associated with the glenoid cavity. The attachment element comprises a first part for removable anchorage to the first or second articulation element, and a second part for attachment of the prosthesis to the bone part of the scapula in a position outside the bulk of the first and second articulation element.

Abstract: Inverse prosthesis of the shoulder for the articulation of a humerus in a scapula of a shoulder comprising a glenoid cavity. The prosthesis includes an at least partly convex articulation element, including elements for support and attachment to the glenoid cavity, and able to articulate with an at least partly concave mating articulation element, associated with the top of the humerus. The articulation element includes a substantially hemi-spherical element and a pin-type implant element made as distinct and reciprocally removable elements, so as to allow them to be assembled sequentially with respect to the glenoid cavity.
