Patent number: 8361157Abstract: A shoulder prosthesis assembly includes a metaglenoid element (7) having a plate (13) with a central tubular bushing (14) and members for anchoring it in the glenoid cavity. The assembly also includes a glenoid sphere (9) that fits over the metaglenoid element which has an axial screw that is (35) screwed into the bushing. The glenoid sphere has a member to facilitate installation thereof on the metaglenoid element. The member may include a pin (46) adapted to slide in the tubular bushing (14) and in an axial channel of the screw, so that the glenoid sphere (9) can be screwed into place without any risk of damaging the thread of the screw or the tapping of the bushing.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2009Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Depuy FranceInventors: Denis Bouttens, Michel De Buttet, Didier Capon, Michel Colmar, Cecile Nerot, Philippe Valenti, Hassan Wahab

Publication number: 20060200248Abstract: This prosthesis for the glenoid cavity of the scapula comprises a seat, intended to be fixed to the glenoid cavity of the patient to be treated by means of anchoring screws, said seat comprising a plate able to receive a male insert, and said seat being able to receive a female insert, said inserts being intended to cooperate with the humeral head of the shoulder joint in question or with a humeral implant fitted in the area of said joint. The outer face of the peripheral rim, with which the seat is provided, is configured as a truncated morse cone able to cooperate with a male insert provided with a bearing surface of complementary shape. The plate of the seat is provided with means intended to cooperate with a female insert in order to ensure that the latter is fixed by clipping into it.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2005Publication date: September 7, 2006Inventors: Laurent Beguin, Denis Bouttens, Charles Cohn, Geert Declercq, Yann Brunnarius, Jean Grimberg, Dominique Huguet, Eric Lesprit, Pierre Massart, Bruno Rio, Jacques Teissier, Bruno Toussaint, Bruno Zipoli

Patent number: 6953478Abstract: The invention concerns a shoulder prosthesis assembly comprising a meta-glenoid element (7) formed by a plate (13) provided with a central tubular block (14) an anchoring members in the glenoid cavity (3), and a glenoid sphere (9) designed to top the metaglenoid element and provided with an axial screw (35) screwed into said pin; the glenoid sphere has an articulated surface (11) designed to co-operate with a cup of an associated humeral prosthesis (2); said assembly comprises means (16, 45, 46; 51, 50, 49) guiding the glenoid sphere adapted to facilitate its being fixed on the meta-glenoid element; said means comprise a pin (46) adapted to be slotted into the tubular block (14) and into an axial passage of the screw (35); the glenoid sphere (9) is thus guided by being slid on the pin (46) until the screw (35) is inserted precisely into the axis of the tubular block (14), wherein it can be screwed without any risk of damaging the thread on the screw and the internal thread of the block.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2000Date of Patent: October 11, 2005Assignee: Depuy FranceInventors: Denis Bouttens, Michel De Buttet, Didier Capon, Michel Colmar, Cécile Nerot, Philippe Valenti, Hassan Wahab
