Abstract

Claims (26)

1. A modular reverse shoulder prosthesis, comprising:

a stem comprising a tapered body and a first annular housing;

a tray comprising a dome element for insertion into said first annular housing, and further comprising a second annular housing;

a liner comprising an engaging element for at least partial insertion into said dome element, and further comprising a joint concave element configured for coupling with said second annular housing, said joint concave element comprising a concave articulation surface;

wherein said second annular housing of said tray comprises a raised edge configured to support said joint concave element,

wherein said raised edge defines an overall outline having a development in height that is different at least in diametrically opposite portions of said tray, and

wherein a relative rotation between the tray and the liner is blocked.

2. The modular reverse shoulder prosthesis according to claim 1 , wherein said overall outline of said raised edge comprises a first planar portion, configured for coupling with a respective planar surface of said joint concave element, said first planar portion having a smaller development in height with respect to a second diametrically opposite portion of said raised edge.

3. The modular reverse shoulder prosthesis according to claim 1 , wherein said overall outline of said raised edge comprises a first slanted portion, configured for coupling with a respective slanted surface of said joint concave element, said first slanted portion having a smaller development in height with respect to a second diametrically opposite portion of said raised edge.

4. The modular reverse shoulder prosthesis according to claim 2 , wherein said first planar portion substantially includes a semicircular half of said raised edge.

5. The modular reverse shoulder prosthesis according to claim 3 , wherein said overall outline of said raised edge comprises a planar portion that is diametrically opposite said first slanted portion and having a greater development in height with respect to said first slanted portion.

6. The modular reverse shoulder prosthesis according to claim 1 , wherein said raised edge comprises a plurality of cutouts configured for coupling with a respective plurality of outer protrusions on said joint concave element, so as to block the relative rotation between the tray and the liner.

7. The modular reverse shoulder prosthesis according to claim 1 , wherein said dome element is configured for insertion into said first annular housing along an insertion axis, and wherein said engaging element is configured for insertion into said dome element along said insertion axis, and wherein said second annular housing is arranged substantially perpendicular to said insertion axis.

8. The modular reverse shoulder prosthesis according to claim 7 , wherein said joint concave element of said liner comprises an upper surface substantially lying on a correction plane, said correction plane being slanted by a correction angle with respect to a plane that is perpendicular to said insertion axis.

9. The modular reverse shoulder prosthesis according to claim 7 , wherein said tapered body defines a stem primary axis that is angled with respect to said insertion axis.

10. The modular reverse shoulder prosthesis according to claim 7 , wherein said raised edge defines said overall outline having a development in height, said development in height being evaluated parallelly to said insertion axis and being different at least in diametrically opposite portions of said tray.

11. The modular reverse shoulder prosthesis according to claim 1 , wherein said tray is assembled to said stem by a conical coupling between said dome element and said first annular housing.

12. The modular reverse shoulder prosthesis according to claim 1 , wherein said liner is assembled to said tray by a snap engagement between said engaging element and an inner surface of said dome element.

13. The modular reverse shoulder prosthesis according to claim 1 , wherein said tray is made of a metal material, and wherein said liner is made of a plastic material.

14. The modular reverse shoulder prosthesis according to claim 1 , wherein said stem further comprises a plurality of supports connecting said tapered body and said first annular housing, keeping them angled to each other.

15. The modular reverse shoulder prosthesis according to claim 14 , wherein said plurality of supports comprise a first medial support, two antero-posterior supports and a lateral support.

16. The modular reverse shoulder prosthesis according to claim 15 , wherein said antero-posterior supports have a curved conformation according to an angle between said tapered body and said first annular housing.

17. The modular reverse shoulder prosthesis according to claim 1 , wherein said first annular housing externally comprises a trabecular structure.

18. The modular reverse shoulder prosthesis according to claim 1 , wherein said stem is configured for implantation in a humeral bone end, and wherein said liner is configured to articulate with a respective glenoidal spherical element of a reverse shoulder prosthesis.

19. The modular reverse shoulder prosthesis according to claim 1 , wherein said stem is further configured for a convertible prosthesis, said first annular housing being further adapted to house prosthesis elements according to an anatomical configuration.

20. The modular reverse shoulder prosthesis according to claim 1 , wherein said tapered body has a substantially conical or frustoconical conformation with a circular section.
