  • Patent number: 12667464
    Abstract: A trial humeral prosthesis may include a trial stem for implantation into a humerus, and a trial proximal body configured to couple to a trial articulating component. A plurality of trial spacers may be configured to couple the trial stem to the trial proximal body, the plurality of trial spacers including a first trial spacer and a second trial spacer. The first and second trial spacers may each include a proximal post and a tab extending radially outward from the proximal post, and a distal body having a larger outer diameter than an outer diameter of the proximal post, a slot being formed in the distal body. The slot of the distal body of the first trial spacer may be configured to receive the tab of the second trial spacer when the proximal post of the second trial spacer is received within the distal body of the first trial spacer.

  • Publication number: 20260165753
    Abstract: A bone clamp for coupling an intramedullary stem to a bone includes a collet, a bushing, and a cap. The collet includes a main body and a plurality of legs and is configured to receive the bone and the intramedullary stem. The collar includes internal threading that is complementary to external threading on the main body of the collet such that rotation of the collar relative to the collet translates the collar to compress the plurality of legs radially inwardly against the bone. The bushing is received within the collet, and the cap includes internal threading that is complementary to external threading on the proximal end of the collet such that rotation of the cap relative to the collet translates the cap distally relative to the collet to compress the bushing against the intramedullary stem.

  • Publication number: 20250107899
    Abstract: A humeral prosthesis for replacing a proximal humerus includes a prosthesis body which includes a lateral surface, a medial surface, an anterior surface, a posterior surface, and a first superior surface. The lateral surface has a spherical curvature. The anterior and posterior surfaces are each planar and each intersect the first superior surface, the lateral surface, and the medial surface. A first bore extends through the first superior surface and into the prosthesis body. The prosthesis body also includes a plurality of suture openings.
