Modular humeral implant for an inverted shoulder prosthesis
A modular humeral implant for an inverted shoulder prosthesis includes a humeral stem having, on the one hand, a diaphyseal keel of elongate shape, extending along a diaphyseal axis and shaped to be engaged in a medullary cavity of a humerus, and, on the other hand, a metaphyseal portion. A humeral spacer is mounted on the metaphyseal portion of the humeral stem and has a lower face facing the metaphyseal portion, the lower face having a peripheral portion projecting laterally from the metaphyseal portion and covered at least partially with a porous or rough metal surface coating promoting an osseointegration. A humeral insert is fastened on the humeral spacer and has a hemispherical cup shaped to receive a glenosphere of a glenoid implant.
1. A humeral implant for an inverted shoulder prosthesis, the humeral implant comprising:
a humeral stem having a metaphyseal portion;
a humeral spacer mounted on the metaphyseal portion of the humeral stem and having an upper face, a lower face facing the metaphyseal portion and an outer peripheral face extending between the lower face and the upper face, the lower face having a peripheral portion projecting at least one of laterally, medially, anteriorly, and posteriorly from the metaphyseal portion; and
a humeral insert fastened on the upper face of the humeral spacer and having a hemispherical cup shaped to receive a glenosphere of a glenoid implant;
wherein the peripheral portion of the lower face of the humeral spacer is at least partially covered with a porous or rough metal surface coating,
wherein the porous or rough metal surface coating is distributed on the lower face of the humeral spacer in a form of two or more concentric rings.
2. The humeral implant according to claim 1 , wherein, on the humeral spacer, the porous or rough metal surface coating is on the lower face, and the outer peripheral face and the upper face are not covered with a porous or rough metal surface coating.
3. The humeral implant according to claim 1 , wherein a pin protrudes from the lower face of the humeral spacer and forms a fitting pin shaped to be fitted inside a hole of the metaphyseal portion of the humeral stem, and the ring two or more concentric rings extend around the pin.
4. The humeral implant according to claim 3 , wherein the two or more concentric rings extend around the pin at a distance from the pin such that the lower face has a smooth annular section between the two or more concentric rings and the pin.
