  • PATIENT SPECIFIC 3-D INTERACTIVE TOTAL JOINT MODEL AND SURGICAL PLANNING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20230048940
    Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for pre-operatively planned total or partial joint surgery including, for example, anatomic and reverse shoulder surgery guides and implants. There are also methods for pre-operative planning methods for designing glenoid implants and prostheses, particularly with patient-specific augmentation, based on considerations of multiple factors affecting the outcome of a selected reverse or anatomic shoulder surgery. There are also described methods of performing total or partial joint surgery, including anatomic or reverse shoulder surgery, using surgery guides and implants in patients undergoing joint surgery.

  • REVERSE SHOULDER PROSTHESIS
    Publication number: 20100125336
    Abstract: A scapula component (1) for a reverse shoulder prosthesis comprises a part spherical, convex, surface (3) which is less than a hemisphere. The part spherical surface does not have a rotational axis of symmetry, and may include a main circular surface portion and one or more subsidiary surface portions (5, 6, 7) depending from an edge of the main surface portion. A humerus component (200) for a reverse shoulder prosthesis comprises a cup member (202) having a part spherical, concave bearing surface (206) surrounded by an oval rim (208).
