INSET/ONLAY GLENOID, POROUS COATED CONVERTIBLE GLENOID, AND HUMERAL HEADS WITH TEXTURED UNDERSIDES
Disclosed are prosthesis systems and methods that provide porous fixation rings by which the articulating surfaces of the implant can be exchanged such that the anatomic surfaces can be converted to reverse surfaces, while not exchanging the fixation components. Also disclosed herein are methods by which the surgeon can implant an inset anatomic articulating glenoid implant whereby at a later date, can remove the anatomic articulating surface and replace it with a reverse articulating surface such that the primary means of fixation remains well fixed in the glenoid fossa at the moment of articular exchange.
1 .- 12 . (canceled)
13 . A method of performing a reversible anatomic shoulder replacement procedure, comprising:
reaming a cavity into the glenoid; and
inserting a fixation ring and an anatomic glenoid articular implant into a glenoid cavity, the fixation ring comprising:
an outer diameter, the outer diameter substantially similar to a diameter of a lateral peripheral edge of the anatomic glenoid articular implant;
a superior surface configured to abut a medial surface of the anatomic glenoid articular implant,
wherein the fixation ring is configured to circumscribe a medial peripheral edge of the anatomic glenoid articular implant, and
wherein the fixation ring is configured to be at least partially implanted within the glenoid cavity.
14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the anatomic glenoid articular implant comprises:
the medial surface configured to mate with the glenoid cavity;
a central peg extending medially from the medial surface, wherein the central peg is configured to extend medially further than the fixation ring when the anatomic glenoid articular implant is inserted into the fixation ring;
a lateral surface configured to articulate with a humeral component; and
the lateral peripheral edge extending from the lateral surface towards the medial surface, the medial peripheral edge comprising a substantially constant diameter that is less than a substantially constant diameter of the lateral peripheral edge, wherein the substantially constant diameter of the medial peripheral edge is about 1 to 2 mm less than the substantially constant diameter of the lateral peripheral edge; and
a ledge extending from the medial peripheral edge to the lateral peripheral edge, and configured to abut a lateral-facing surface of the fixation ring,
wherein the fixation ring further comprises an inner diameter sized and configured to circumscribe the medial peripheral edge of the anatomic glenoid articular implant.
15 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the anatomic glenoid articular implant is partially inset into the glenoid cavity.
16 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the anatomic glenoid articular implant is fully inset into the glenoid cavity.
17 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the cavity comprises a circular cavity.
18 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the cavity comprises an oval cavity.
19 . A reversible anatomic shoulder replacement system, comprising:
an anatomic glenoid articular implant;
a fixation ring configured to be positioned within the glenoid cavity, the fixation ring comprising:
an outer diameter, the outer diameter substantially similar to a diameter of a lateral peripheral edge of the anatomic glenoid articular implant;
a superior surface configured to abut a medial surface of the anatomic glenoid articular implant,
wherein the fixation ring is configured to circumscribe a medial peripheral edge of the anatomic glenoid articular implant, and
wherein the fixation ring is configured to be at least partially implanted within the glenoid cavity.
to be at least partially implanted within the glenoid cavity.
20 . The reversible anatomic shoulder replacement system of claim 19 , wherein the anatomic glenoid articular implant comprises:
the medial surface configured to mate with the glenoid cavity;
a central peg extending medially from the medial surface, wherein the central peg is configured to extend medially further than the fixation ring when the anatomic glenoid articular implant is inserted into the fixation ring;
the lateral surface configured to articulate with a humeral component; and
a lateral peripheral edge extending from the lateral surface towards the medial surface, the medial peripheral edge comprising a substantially constant diameter that is less than a substantially constant diameter of the lateral peripheral edge, wherein the substantially constant diameter of the medial peripheral edge is about 1 to 2 mm less than the substantially constant diameter of the lateral peripheral edge; and
a ledge extending from the medial peripheral edge to the lateral peripheral edge, and configured to abut a lateral-facing surface of the fixation ring,
wherein the fixation ring further comprises an inner diameter sized and configured to circumscribe the medial peripheral edge of the implant.
21 . The reversible anatomic shoulder replacement system of claim 19 , wherein the fixation ring comprises anti-rotation features on an outer diameter of the fixation ring.
22 . The reversible anatomic shoulder replacement system of claim 19 , wherein the peripheral edge of the fixation ring is configured to facilitate bone ingrowth.
23 . The reversible anatomic shoulder replacement system of claim 19 , wherein the peripheral edge of the fixation ring comprises an osteoinductive or osteoconductive surface.
24 . The reversible anatomic shoulder replacement system of claim 20 , wherein the inner diameter of the fixation ring comprises barbs.
25 . The reversible anatomic shoulder replacement system of claim 20 , wherein the inner diameter of the fixation ring comprises threads.
26 . The reversible anatomic shoulder replacement system of claim 25 , wherein the threads are self-tapping threads.
