Shoulder arthroplasty system method with combination humeral sizer, trial, and guide
A shoulder arthroplasty kit includes a combination sizer and guide device with a base portion including a rim configured to be positioned against a resected surface of a humerus. A cavity which is configured to receive a mounting portion of a humeral base component extends proximally from the base portion, the cavity. The combination sizer and guide device includes a convex outer surface which replicates at least a part of an outer bearing surface of a humeral head component. A bore which is perpendicular to the distal plane extends between the cavity and the convex outer surface. The kit further includes a guide pin with a maximum diameter sized to fit within the bore such that the guide pin is guided by the bore during insertion of the guide pin into the resected surface of the humerus.
1. A shoulder arthroplasty kit comprising: a humeral base component;
a guide pin configured to be inserted into a resected surface of a humerus; and
at least one combination sizer and guide device including
a base portion including a distal rim configured to be positioned against the resected surface of the humerus and defining a distal plane,
a cavity extending proximally from the base portion, the cavity configured to receive a mounting portion of the humeral base component,
a convex outer surface configured to replicate at least in part an outer bearing surface of a humeral head component, and
a bore extending between the cavity and the convex outer surface, the bore perpendicular to the distal plane and configured to guide the guide pin
such that when the distal rim is positioned against the resected surface the guide pin is guided by the bore during insertion of the guide pin through the bore such that the guide pin is directed to a center portion of into the resected surface of the humerus which is covered by the base portion; wherein the humeral base component includes a taper portion extending upwardly from the mounting portion; the combination sizer and guide device includes an upper cavity extending upwardly from the cavity toward the convex outer surface; and the upper cavity is sized and shaped to frictionally engage the taper portion.
