Abstract

A reverse modular humeral implant for implantation into a humerus that includes a natural humeral shaft and a natural humeral head. The implant includes a humeral stem implantable into the natural humeral shaft, and an adapter couplable to the humeral stem, the adapter including an anchoring projection configured to be coupled to a convex bearing.

Claims (28)

1. A prosthetic comprising:

a glenosphere defining an articulating surface;

a glenoid tray defining an interior coupling bore having a planar locking surface;

a bushing member disposed within the glenoid tray, the bushing member defining an aperture having a plurality of generally planar bearing surfaces and forming a bushing member bearing ledge; and

a bearing coupling member disposed within the bushing member, the bearing coupling member having a planar interface surface configured to engage the bushing member bearing ledge, the planar interface surface having a coupling flange extending generally perpendicular therefrom, the coupling flange having a depending locking member configured to be disposed through the interior coupling bore and to engage the planar locking surface, the bearing coupling member having a bearing coupling side having a coupling member surface configured to mate to a corresponding glenoid coupling surface on the glenosphere.

2. The prosthetic according to claim 1 , wherein the glenosphere has a spherical convex surface configured to interface with a concave bearing.

3. The prosthetic according to claim 1 , wherein the glenoid tray interior coupling bore has a first portion with a first internal diameter and a second portion with a second internal diameter, the second internal diameter being larger than the first internal diameter.

4. The prosthetic according to claim 1 , wherein the glenosphere comprises an extended articulating surface.

5. The prosthetic according to claim 1 , wherein the bearing coupling member is translatable with respect to the bushing member.

6. The prosthetic according to claim 1 , wherein the bearing coupling member is translatable with respect to a glenoid in a direction parallel to the planar interface surface.

7. The prosthetic according to claim 1 , wherein the bearing coupling member is translatable with respect to the glenoid tray from a first unlocked position to a second locked position.

8. A shoulder prosthetic comprising:

a glenoid tray configured to be implanted into a resected glenoid, the glenoid tray having a glenoid interface surface having a depending coupling stem, the glenoid tray having an opposed bearing mounting surface, the opposed bearing mounting surface having a bearing engagement member and defining an interior coupling bore therein, the interior coupling bore having a first portion with a first internal diameter and a second portion with a second internal diameter, the second internal diameter being larger than the first internal diameter, wherein the first portion is disposed between the second portion and the opposed bearing mounting surface, and wherein a locking surface is defined at an interface between the first portion and second portion;

a bushing member disposed within the glenoid tray, the bushing member defining an aperture having a plurality of generally planar bearing surfaces defining a bushing member bearing ledge; and

a bearing coupling member disposed within the bushing member, the bearing coupling member having a planar interface surface configured to engage the bushing member bearing ledge, the planar interface surface having a coupling flange extending generally perpendicular therefrom, the coupling flange having a depending locking member configured to be disposed through the first portion and into the second portion of the interior coupling bore and to engage the locking surface, the bearing coupling member having a coupling taper configured to mate to a corresponding taper on a bearing member.

9. The shoulder prosthetic according to claim 8 , wherein the planar interface surface is configured to slidably engage the bushing member bearing ledge when the bearing coupling member is engaged with the bushing member and the glenoid tray.

10. The shoulder prosthetic according to claim 9 , wherein the bearing coupling member is translatable with respect to the glenoid tray from a first unlocked position to a second locked position.

11. The shoulder prosthetic according to claim 8 , wherein the bearing coupling member is translatable with respect to the bushing member.

12. The shoulder prosthetic according to claim 8 , wherein the bearing coupling member is translatable with respect to the glenoid tray.

13. The shoulder prosthetic according to claim 8 , wherein the opposed bearing mounting surface is planar, and wherein the bearing coupling member is translatable with respect to the glenoid tray in a direction parallel to the opposed bearing mounting surface from an unlocked position to a locked position.

14. A shoulder prosthetic comprising:

a glenoid tray configured to be implanted into a resected glenoid, the glenoid tray having a glenoid interface surface and an opposed bearing mounting surface, the opposed bearing mounting surface defining an interior coupling bore therein, the interior coupling bore having a first portion with a first internal diameter and a second portion with a second internal diameter, the second internal diameter being larger than the first internal diameter, wherein said first portion is disposed between the second portion and the opposed bearing mounting surface and wherein a locking surface is defined at an interface between the first portion and second portion;

a bearing coupling member having a planar interface surface configured to engage the opposed bearing mounting surface, the planar interface surface having a coupling flange extending generally perpendicular therefrom, the coupling flange having a depending locking member configured to be disposed through the first portion and into the second portion of the interior coupling bore and to engage the locking surface, the bearing coupling member having a bearing coupling side having a coupling taper configured to mate to a corresponding taper on a bearing member; and

a bushing member disposed about the bearing coupling member, the bushing member defining an inner bore having a plurality of planar bore surfaces, and wherein the bearing coupling member defines a plurality of coupling bearing planar surfaces configured to interface with the plurality of planar bore surfaces when the bearing coupling member is engaged with the glenoid tray.

15. The shoulder prosthetic according to claim 1 , wherein the coupling bearing member is translatable with respect to the bushing member.

16. The shoulder prosthetic according to claim 1 , wherein the bearing coupling member is translatable with respect to the glenoid tray.

17. The shoulder prosthetic according to claim 1 , wherein the bearing coupling member is translatable with respect to the glenoid tray from a first unlocked position to a second locked position.

18. The shoulder prosthetic according to claim 1 , wherein the opposed bearing mounting surface is planar, and wherein the bearing coupling member is translatable with respect to the glenoid tray in a direction parallel to the opposed bearing mounting surface from a first unlocked position to a second locked position.
