PATIENT SPECIFIC STEMLESS PROSTHESIS ANCHOR COMPONENTS
A prosthesis assembly including a base member that has a helical structure and one or more pathways. The helical structure extends between a first end and a second end. The pathway is accessible from the second end and is directed toward the first end through the helical structure. The pathway is located inward of an outer periphery of the helical structure. The pathway extends in a space between successive portions of the helical structure. The prosthesis assembly includes a locking device that has a support member and an arm that projects away from the support member. The arm is configured to be disposed in the pathway when the support member is disposed adjacent to the second end of the base member. The arm is disposed through bone in the space between successive portions of the helical structure when the prosthesis assembly is implanted.
1 . A shoulder prosthesis assembly including a base member that comprises:
a first end;
a second end spaced away from the first end;
a mating portion comprising a central recess extending from the second end toward the first end;
a helical structure extending from the second end toward the first end; and
a locking device comprising a support and an arm projecting away from the support, the arm configured to project from the second end toward the first end to be disposed within the helical structure when the support is coupled with the base member,
wherein the arm is disposed through bone in the space between successive portions of the helical structure when the shoulder prosthesis assembly is implanted in a patient's shoulder; and
wherein at least a portion of the base member or the locking device is adapted for the patient based upon imaging of one or more bones of the patient's shoulder.
2 . The shoulder prosthesis assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a trunnion configured to be disposed between a collar and a resected surface of a humerus of the patient.
3 . The shoulder prosthesis assembly of claim 2 , wherein the trunnion comprises an outer periphery that matches an outer periphery of the resected surface of the humerus.
4 . The shoulder prosthesis assembly of claim 2 , wherein the trunnion is configured to extend sufficiently away from the mating portion to cover medial calcar of the humerus of the patient.
5 . The shoulder prosthesis assembly of claim 2 , wherein the trunnion comprises a radial projection configured to be received in a radial recess of a collar of the base member to restrict at least one degree of freedom of the collar relative to the trunnion.
6 . The shoulder prosthesis assembly of claim 5 , wherein the radial projection of the trunnion comprises an annular projection configured to be received in an annular recess of the collar to fix the axial position of the collar relative to the trunnion.
7 . The shoulder prosthesis assembly of claim 5 , wherein at least a portion of the trunnion that faces the first end of the base member when the shoulder prosthesis assembly is assembled includes a portion configured to enhance bone ingrowth.
8 . The shoulder prosthesis assembly of claim 7 , wherein the portion of the trunnion configured to enhance bone ingrowth comprises a porous surface.
9 . The shoulder prosthesis assembly of claim 1 , wherein the shoulder prosthesis assembly comprises an annular member comprising an outer periphery of the shoulder assembly and an inner periphery configured to removeably couple with the mating portion of the base member.
10 . The shoulder prosthesis assembly of claim 9 , wherein the annular member comprises a collar configured to attach to the mating portion of the base member.
11 . The shoulder prosthesis assembly of claim 9 , wherein the base member comprises a collar, the helical structure projecting from the collar toward the first end, and the annular member comprises a trunnion.
12 . The shoulder prosthesis assembly of claim 1 , wherein the helical structure has a length, a shape, and segments that are spaced apart, wherein one or more of the length, the shape, and the spacing of the segments of the helical structure is adapted for the patient based upon imaging.
