Abstract

A reverse shoulder system can include, for example, a glenoid baseplate comprising a longitudinal axis, the glenoid baseplate further including a stem and a central channel within a sidewall of the stem. The stem can include a longitudinal axis. The longitudinal axis of the glenoid baseplate can be angled with respect to the longitudinal axis of the stem, wherein the longitudinal axis of the glenoid baseplate is not perpendicular with respect to the longitudinal axis of the stem. Other components including a glenosphere, tools, and methods of use are also disclosed.

Claims (32)

1. A reverse shoulder implant, comprising:

a baseplate configured to be secured to a glenoid of a scapular bone of a patient, the baseplate having a lateral end, a medial end, and a baseplate central channel extending through the baseplate from the lateral end to the medial end;

a central screw configured to at least partially pass through the central channel;

a locking nut having a cylindrical shape, and an external thread on an outside surface of the locking nut, the locking nut configured to engage the central screw when the central screw and baseplate are implanted within the medical patient, wherein the external thread is configured to couple the locking nut with the baseplate central channel;

a glenosphere, having a lateral, convex articular surface, and a glenosphere central channel extending from the convex articular surface to an opposite side of the convex articular surface, wherein the glenosphere is configured to interface with the baseplate; and

a glenosphere screw, sized to pass at least partially within the glenosphere central channel to secure the glenosphere to the locking nut.

2. The reverse shoulder implant of claim 1 , wherein the glenosphere is configured to at least partially surround an external surface of the baseplate.

3. The reverse shoulder implant of claim 1 , wherein the baseplate has a circular shape.

4. The reverse shoulder implant of claim 1 , wherein the glenosphere is configured to surround the baseplate.

5. The reverse shoulder implant of claim 1 , wherein the glenosphere is configured to be secured to the baseplate with a Morse taper.

6. The reverse shoulder implant of claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the locking nut is greater than a length of the locking nut.

7. The reverse shoulder implant of claim 1 , wherein the locking nut comprises a rotational control feature configured to receive a tool to enable twisting of the locking nut to secure it to the central screw.

8. The reverse shoulder implant of claim 1 , wherein the central screw has a length of about 5 mm, 5.5 mm, 6 mm, 6.5 mm, 7 mm, 7.5 mm, 8 mm, 8.5 mm, 9 mm, 9.5 mm, 10 mm, 10.5 mm, 11 mm, 11.5 mm, 12 mm, 12.5 mm, 13 mm, 13.5 mm, 14 mm, 14.5 mm, or 15mm.

9. The reverse shoulder implant of claim 1 , wherein the central channel defines a surface integral with the central screw.

10. The reverse shoulder implant of claim 1 , wherein the central screw includes a rotational control feature.

11. The reverse shoulder implant of claim 1 , wherein the central screw comprises a central channel configured to house a primary screw.

12. A reverse shoulder implant, comprising:

a baseplate configured to be secured to a glenoid of a scapular bone of a patient, the baseplate having a lateral end, a medial end, and a baseplate central channel extending through the baseplate from the lateral end to the medial end;

a central screw configured to at least partially pass through the central channel;

a locking nut having a cylindrical shape, and an external thread on an outside surface of the locking nut, the locking nut configured to engage the central screw when the central screw and baseplate are implanted within the medical patient, wherein the external thread is configured to engage the baseplate central channel; and

a glenosphere, having a lateral, convex articular surface, and a glenosphere central channel extending from the convex articular surface to an opposite side of the convex articular surface, wherein the glenosphere is configured to interface with the baseplate; and

a glenosphere screw, sized to pass at least partially within the glenosphere central channel to secure the glenosphere to the locking nut.

13. The reverse shoulder implant of claim 12 , wherein the glenosphere is configured to at least partially surround an external surface of the baseplate.

14. The reverse shoulder implant of claim 12 , wherein the baseplate has a circular shape.

15. The reverse shoulder implant of claim 12 , wherein the glenosphere is configured to surround the baseplate.

16. The reverse shoulder implant of claim 12 , wherein the glenosphere is configured to be secured to the baseplate with a Morse taper.

17. The reverse shoulder implant of claim 12 , wherein a diameter of the locking nut is greater than a length of the locking nut.

18. The reverse shoulder implant of claim 12 , wherein the locking nut comprises a rotational control feature configured to receive a tool to enable twisting of the locking nut to secure it to the central screw.

19. The reverse shoulder implant of claim 12 , wherein the central screw has a length of about 5 mm, 5.5 mm, 6 mm, 6.5 mm, 7 mm, 7.5 mm, 8 mm, 8.5 mm, 9 mm, 9.5 mm, 10 mm, 10.5 mm, 11 mm, 11.5 mm, 12 mm, 12.5 mm, 13 mm, 13.5 mm, 14 mm, 14.5 mm, or 15mm.

20. The reverse shoulder implant of claim 12 , wherein the central channel defines a surface integral with the central screw.

21. The reverse shoulder implant of claim 12 , wherein the central screw includes a rotational control feature.

22. The reverse shoulder implant of claim 12 , wherein the central screw comprises a central channel configured to house a primary screw.
