Abstract: An insert (11) of a joint ball receptacle of a prosthetic shoulder joint according to the invention has a first side (I) with a depression (15) for receiving a joint ball, and a second side (II) which is provided and formed for being received in a shell (13) of the joint ball receptacle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a humeral component of a shoulder joint prosthesis, comprising a bearing body (38, 66), a shaft (32) and a transitional area (34) which is arranged between the bearing body (38, 66) and the shaft (32). One surface of the transitional area (34) comprises, on a large area, a structure in the form of projections (48) for attaching bone fragments and/or muscle attachments and/or tendon attachments. The projections (48) are arranged discretely in a distributed manner on the surface of the transitional area (34) and essentially in the proximal-distal direction and also essentially in the direction of the periphery.

Abstract: The invention relates to an operation system for a joint prosthesis, in particular a shoulder joint prosthesis, having two cooperating bearing bodies, in particular a joint head and a joint shell, a shaft and a coupling to connect the shaft to one of the bearing bodies comprising a positioning device by means of which the shaft can be positioned at a desired depth in the bone without a coupling, a prefixing device by means of which the desired position of the bearing body relative to the coupling can be pre-fixed at the shaft positioned at the desired depth; and a final fixing device by means of which, with the coupling removed from the shaft, the pre-fixed desired position can be finally fixed.

Abstract: A system and method for managing and providing customer account information within a telecommunications system include and involve a data storage system for storing a link record corresponding to a customer account managed by an account management system maintained within the telecommunications system, and a processor that is coupled to the data storage system. The processor is operative to receive a message containing a process request related to the customer account from a requesting system, to convert the message into a process object, to retrieve the link record from the data storage system in accordance with the process object, to generate a response message including the link record, and to submit the response message to the requesting system.
