Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a shoulder prosthesis and more particularly to a shoulder prosthesis having a stemless humeral component.
- the shoulder joint includes the humerus, the clavicle, and the scapula, which cooperate to afford a range of motion of the humerus relative to the scapula and clavicle during arm movement.
- a proximal end of the humerus is disposed adjacent to the glenoid fossa of the scapula and is permitted to move relative to the glenoid fossa to provide a range of motion to the humerus relative to the scapula.
- Joint replacement surgery such as a partial or total shoulder arthroplasty may be required when the shoulder joint causes pain during use or is otherwise damaged.
- the shoulder joint may be damaged due to osteoarthritis, whereby progressive wearing away of cartilage results in bare bone being exposed within the shoulder joint. Under such circumstances, it is often necessary to undergo a partial or total shoulder arthroplasty in order to relieve pain and increase the range of motion of the humerus by rebuilding portions of the shoulder joint.
- a surgeon In performing a total shoulder arthroplasty, a surgeon resects a portion of the proximal end of the humerus that is received by the glenoid fossa. Once the distal end of the humerus is resected, the surgeon may then ream the humerus to access the humeral canal. Providing access to the humeral canal allows the surgeon to insert a humeral component into the humeral canal. A prosthetic hemispherical humeral head may then be attached to a proximal end of the humeral component such that the resected portion of the humerus is replaced by the prosthetic hemispherical humeral head.
- the surgeon will likewise replace a portion of the glenoid fossa to provide a bearing surface against which the humeral head may articulate.
- pain is typically alleviated and the patient is provided with an increased range of motion at the shoulder joint.
- a prosthesis may include a central body having a longitudinal axis and an opening that receives an installation tool.
- the prosthesis may further include a plurality of arms each having a first end proximate to the central body and a second end extending from the central body in a first direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
- the second end may include a greater width than the first end measured in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction.
- a prosthesis in another configuration, may include a central body having a longitudinal axis and a plurality of arms each having a first end proximate to the central body and a second end extending from the central body in a first direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
- the plurality of arms may each include at least one tapered surface that provides the plurality of arms with an increasing thickness extending in a direction from the first end to the second end.

- Example embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough, and will fully convey the scope to those who are skilled in the art. Numerous specific details are set forth such as examples of specific components, devices, and methods, to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments of the present disclosure. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that specific details need not be employed, that example embodiments may be embodied in many different forms and that neither should be construed to limit the scope of the disclosure. In some example embodiments, well-known processes, well-known device structures, and well-known technologies are not described in detail.
- first, second, third, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms may be only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another region, layer or section. Terms such as “first,” “second,” and other numerical terms when used herein do not imply a sequence or order unless clearly indicated by the context. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teachings of the example embodiments.
- Spatially relative terms such as “inner,” “outer,” “beneath,” “below,” “lower,” “above,” “upper,” and the like, may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the figures. Spatially relative terms may be intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, elements described as “below” or “beneath” other elements or features would then be oriented “above” the other elements or features. Thus, the example term “below” can encompass both an orientation of above and below. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.
- a prosthesis 10 may include a central body 12 and a plurality of wings or arms 14 extending generally from the central body 12 .

Description
- This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/182,026 filed on Jul. 13, 2011. The entire disclosure of the above application is incorporated herein by reference.
- The present disclosure relates to a shoulder prosthesis and more particularly to a shoulder prosthesis having a stemless humeral component.
- This section provides background information related to the present disclosure which is not necessarily prior art.
- The shoulder joint includes the humerus, the clavicle, and the scapula, which cooperate to afford a range of motion of the humerus relative to the scapula and clavicle during arm movement. Specifically, a proximal end of the humerus is disposed adjacent to the glenoid fossa of the scapula and is permitted to move relative to the glenoid fossa to provide a range of motion to the humerus relative to the scapula.
- Joint replacement surgery such as a partial or total shoulder arthroplasty may be required when the shoulder joint causes pain during use or is otherwise damaged. For example, the shoulder joint may be damaged due to osteoarthritis, whereby progressive wearing away of cartilage results in bare bone being exposed within the shoulder joint. Under such circumstances, it is often necessary to undergo a partial or total shoulder arthroplasty in order to relieve pain and increase the range of motion of the humerus by rebuilding portions of the shoulder joint.
- In performing a total shoulder arthroplasty, a surgeon resects a portion of the proximal end of the humerus that is received by the glenoid fossa. Once the distal end of the humerus is resected, the surgeon may then ream the humerus to access the humeral canal. Providing access to the humeral canal allows the surgeon to insert a humeral component into the humeral canal. A prosthetic hemispherical humeral head may then be attached to a proximal end of the humeral component such that the resected portion of the humerus is replaced by the prosthetic hemispherical humeral head. If necessary, the surgeon will likewise replace a portion of the glenoid fossa to provide a bearing surface against which the humeral head may articulate. Upon completion of the shoulder arthroplasty, pain is typically alleviated and the patient is provided with an increased range of motion at the shoulder joint.
- While conventional shoulder prosthetics used during shoulder arthroplasty adequately provide the patient with an increased range of motion, conventional shoulder prosthetics require insertion of a stem into the humeral canal of the humerus, thereby increasing the overall weight, size, and cost of the humeral component. Furthermore, because the surgeon is required to insert the stem of the humeral component into the humeral canal, the surgical procedure is somewhat complex, as the surgeon is first required to resect the proximal end of the humerus and subsequently ream the humeral canal prior to inserting the stem of the humeral component into the humeral canal. Increasing the complexity of the joint-replacement surgery increases the time in which the surgeon must spend in performing the procedure and therefore increases the overall cost of the procedure. Finally, requiring insertion of the stem into the humeral component results in additional bone removal, thereby increasing trauma and post-operative pain.
- This section provides a general summary of the disclosure, and is not a comprehensive disclosure of its full scope or all of its features.
- A prosthesis is provided and may include a central body having a longitudinal axis and an opening that receives an installation tool. The prosthesis may further include a plurality of arms each having a first end proximate to the central body and a second end extending from the central body in a first direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The second end may include a greater width than the first end measured in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction.
- In another configuration, a prosthesis is provided and may include a central body having a longitudinal axis and a plurality of arms each having a first end proximate to the central body and a second end extending from the central body in a first direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The plurality of arms may each include at least one tapered surface that provides the plurality of arms with an increasing thickness extending in a direction from the first end to the second end.

- Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings.
- Example embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough, and will fully convey the scope to those who are skilled in the art. Numerous specific details are set forth such as examples of specific components, devices, and methods, to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments of the present disclosure. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that specific details need not be employed, that example embodiments may be embodied in many different forms and that neither should be construed to limit the scope of the disclosure. In some example embodiments, well-known processes, well-known device structures, and well-known technologies are not described in detail.
- The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular example embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” may be intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. The terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “including,” and “having,” are inclusive and therefore specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof. The method steps, processes, and operations described herein are not to be construed as necessarily requiring their performance in the particular order discussed or illustrated, unless specifically identified as an order of performance. It is also to be understood that additional or alternative steps may be employed.
- When an element or layer is referred to as being “on,” “engaged to,” “connected to,” or “coupled to” another element or layer, it may be directly on, engaged, connected or coupled to the other element or layer, or intervening elements or layers may be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly on,” “directly engaged to,” “directly connected to,” or “directly coupled to” another element or layer, there may be no intervening elements or layers present. Other words used to describe the relationship between elements should be interpreted in a like fashion (e.g., “between” versus “directly between,” “adjacent” versus “directly adjacent,” etc.). As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
- Although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms may be only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another region, layer or section. Terms such as “first,” “second,” and other numerical terms when used herein do not imply a sequence or order unless clearly indicated by the context. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teachings of the example embodiments.
- Spatially relative terms, such as “inner,” “outer,” “beneath,” “below,” “lower,” “above,” “upper,” and the like, may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the figures. Spatially relative terms may be intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, elements described as “below” or “beneath” other elements or features would then be oriented “above” the other elements or features. Thus, the example term “below” can encompass both an orientation of above and below. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.

FIGS. 1-3 , aprosthesis 10 is provided and may include acentral body 12 and a plurality of wings orarms 14 extending generally from thecentral body 12. Theprosthesis 10 may be received within a resected humeral head (FIGS. 34 , 35) and may provide the resected humerus with a structure to support a prosthetic humeral head 16 (FIGS. 31 , 34). The prosthetichumeral head 16 may be received by theprosthesis 10 once theprosthesis 10 is installed in the resected humerus during a partial or total shoulder arthroplasty or, alternatively, may be received by theprosthesis 10 prior to insertion of theprosthesis 10 into the proximal humerus. - The
central body 12 may include a substantially cylindrical shape having alongitudinal axis 18 and abore 20 at least partially formed therein. Thebore 20 may be substantially circular and may include a central axis that is aligned with thelongitudinal axis 18 and may include afirst portion 22 and asecond portion 24. Thefirst portion 22 is disposed proximate to anopening 26 of thecentral body 12 and may include a Morse taper. Thesecond portion 24 is disposed generally adjacent to thefirst portion 22 and may include a smaller diameter than thefirst portion 22. Thesecond portion 24 may include a series of threads 28 (FIG. 2 ) for use during installation or removal of theprosthesis 10 from the humerus. Thebore 20 may extend completely through thecentral body 12 and along thelongitudinal axis 18 or, alternatively, may be a blind bore. Regardless of the particular construction of thebore 20, thefirst portion 22 is in fluid communication with thesecond portion 24 such that access to thesecond portion 24 is obtained via thefirst portion 22 at theopening 26 of thecentral body 12. - The
central body 12 may include a substantially uniformouter surface 30 and adistal end 32 having a radiused, beveled, or chamferedouter edge 34. The radiused or beveledouter edge 34 may be positioned at thedistal end 32 to facilitate insertion of thedistal end 32 into a resected end of the humerus during installation (FIGS. 34 , 35). - The
arms 14 extend generally away from thecentral body 12 in a direction substantially perpendicular to thelongitudinal axis 18. Thearms 14 may be positioned relative to thecentral body 12 such that animaginary line 36 bisecting thecentral body 12 in a direction substantially perpendicular to thelongitudinal axis 18 of thecentral body 12 extends through a pair of the arms 14 (FIG. 2 ). In one configuration, the plurality ofarms 14 may include six arms such that threesuch lines 36 may intersect thelongitudinal axis 18 while concurrently passing through respective pairs of the sixarms 14. - Each
arm 14 may be integrally formed with thecentral body 12 and may include afirst end 38 disposed at a junction of eacharm 14 and thecentral body 12 and asecond end 40 formed at an opposite end of eacharm 14 from thefirst end 38. Thefirst end 38 may be tapered to increase the overall width of eacharm 14 at the junction of eacharm 14 and thecentral body 12. Increasing the width of eacharm 14 at a junction of thecentral body 12 and eacharm 14 increases the strength of the arms at the junction between thearms 14 and thecentral body 12, thereby increasing the overall strength of eacharm 14 and the connection of eacharm 14 to thecentral body 12. - The
second end 40 of eacharm 14 may include a series of alternatingpeaks 42 andvalleys 44, as shown inFIG. 1 . Thepeaks 42 may be truncated such that each peak 42 terminates at a substantiallyplanar surface 46. Thevalleys 44 may be positioned such that eachvalley 44 is defined by afirst surface 48 that is substantially perpendicular to thelongitudinal axis 18 of thecentral body 12 and asecond surface 50 that is substantially parallel to thelongitudinal axis 18 of thecentral body 12. - With particular reference to
FIGS. 4-6 , aprosthesis 10 a is shown to include acentral body 12 a and a plurality of wings orarms 14 a. In view of the substantial similarity in structure and function of the components associated with theprosthesis 10 with respect to theprosthesis 10 a, like reference numerals are used hereinafter and in the drawings to identify like components while like reference numerals containing letter extensions are used to identify those components that have been modified. - The
central body 12 a may include abore 20 a extending at least partially therethrough and along alongitudinal axis 18 of thecentral body 12 a. Thebore 20 a may include afirst portion 22 and a second portion 24 a. Thebore 20 may extend completely through thecentral body 12 a or, alternatively, may be a blind bore that extends only partially through thecentral body 12 a. Regardless of the particular construction of thebore 20 a, thefirst portion 22 is in fluid communication with the second portion 24 a such that the second portion 24 a is accessed via thefirst portion 22 andopening 26 of thecentral body 12 a. - The second portion 24 a is disposed generally adjacent to the
first portion 22 and may include a substantially square shape. The shape of the second portion 24 a may be designed to matingly receive a tool (FIG. 35 ) during installation of theprosthesis 10 a to prevent relative rotational movement between theprosthesis 10 a and the tool at the second portion 24 a. While the second portion 24 a is shown as including a substantially square shape, the second portion 24 a could include virtually any shape that permits the second portion 24 a of thebore 20 to matingly receive a tool therein. - The
arms 14 a extend generally from thecentral body 12 in a direction substantially perpendicular to thelongitudinal axis 18 of thecentral body 12 a. As with theprosthesis 10, the plurality ofarms 14 a may include sixarms 14 a, whereby aline 36 bisecting thecentral body 12 a and passing through thelongitudinal axis 18 likewise passes through a pair of thearms 14 a. Because the plurality ofarms 14 a are shown to include six arms, threesuch lines 36 could be constructed. Eacharm 14 a may include afirst end 38 disposed at a junction of thecentral body 12 a and eacharm 14 a as well as asecond end 40. Further, eacharm 14 may include a series of alternatingpeaks 42 andvalleys 44 at thesecond end 40, as shown inFIGS. 4 and 6 . - The
arms 14 a may additionally include arecess 52 that extends generally between theouter surface 30 and thesecond end 40 of eacharm 14 a. Therecess 52 may be defined by a firstplanar surface 54 and a secondplanar surface 56 that are each substantially perpendicular to thelongitudinal axis 18, are substantially parallel to one another, and extend in different planes. A substantiallyvertical surface 58 may extend generally between and connect the firstplanar surface 54 and the secondplanar surface 56 and may be substantially parallel to thelongitudinal axis 18 of thecentral body 12 a. Therecess 52 allows for bone to grow over the top of eacharm 14 a and for placement of bone graft to help facilitate bone growth, which may allow for enhanced stability. - With particular reference to
FIGS. 7-10 , aprosthesis 60 is provided and may include acentral body 62 and a plurality of wings orarms 64. As with theprosthetics prosthesis 60 may be received within a resected portion of a humerus during a partial or total shoulder arthroplasty. Theprosthesis 60 provides a structure for receiving and supporting a prosthetichumeral head 16 once theprosthesis 60 is installed in the resected portion of the humerus. - The
central body 62 may include abore 66 having afirst portion 68 and asecond portion 70. Thefirst portion 68 may include a Morse taper and may extend generally between afirst end 72 of thecentral body 62 and thesecond portion 70. Thesecond portion 70 may be disposed adjacent to thefirst portion 68 and may extend generally between thefirst portion 68 and asecond end 74 of thecentral body 62. Thesecond portion 70 may include a substantially square shape, as shown inFIG. 8 , to matingly receive a tool (not shown) during installation of theprosthesis 60 into a resected portion of a humerus. Interaction between the tool and thesecond portion 70 restricts relative rotation between theprosthesis 60 and the tool at thesecond portion 70 during installation of theprosthesis 60 into the humerus. While thesecond portion 70 is described and shown as including a substantially square shape, thesecond portion 70 could include any shape that permits mating engagement with a tool during installation of theprosthesis 60 to restrict relative rotation between theprosthesis 60 and the tool. Further, while thesecond portion 70 is described as matingly receiving the tool to restrict relative rotation therebetween, some rotation between thesecond portion 70 and the tool may be permitted. - The
bore 66 may extend completely through thecentral body 62 along alongitudinal axis 76 of thecentral body 62. While thebore 66 is described and shown as extending completely through thecentral body 62 along thelongitudinal axis 76, thebore 66 could alternatively be a blind bore that only partially extends through thecentral body 62. - The
central body 62 may additionally include a substantially uniformouter surface 78 as well as achamfer 80 that facilitates insertion of thecentral body 62 into a resected portion of a humerus during installation of theprosthesis 60. Theouter surface 78 of thecentral body 62 may provide thecentral body 62 with a substantially constant, cylindrical shape extending along a length of thecentral body 62, as shown inFIG. 9 . - The
arms 64 extend generally from thecentral body 62 in a direction substantially perpendicular to thelongitudinal axis 76. The plurality ofarms 64 may include sixarms 64, whereby animaginary line 82 bisecting thecentral body 62 passes through a pair of arms 64 (FIG. 8 ). Because the plurality ofarms 64 is shown as including sixarms 64, threesuch lines 82 could be constructed. - Each
arm 64 may include aproximal end 84 and adistal end 86. Theproximal end 84 may be located at a junction of eacharm 64 and thecentral body 62 and may provide eacharm 64 with an increased width at the junction. Providing eacharm 64 with an area of increased width at the junction of thecentral body 62 and eacharm 64 strengthens the connection of thearms 64 to thecentral body 62 by increasing the material located at the junction of thecentral body 62 and thearms 64. - The
distal end 86 of eacharm 64 may include afirst surface 88, asecond surface 90, and athird surface 92. Thefirst surface 88 may be formed at an acute angle (β) relative to thelongitudinal axis 76 of the central body 62 (FIG. 10 ). Thesecond surface 90 may extend from thecentral body 62 in a direction substantially perpendicular to thelongitudinal axis 76 and may be located proximate to thesecond end 74 of thecentral body 62. Thethird surface 92 may extend generally between thefirst surface 88 and thesecond surface 90 and may include a series ofpeaks 94 andvalleys 96. An imaginary line connecting thepeaks 94 may be formed at an obtuse angle (Ω) relative to the first surface (88) and may be formed at an acute angle (Σ) relative to the longitudinal axis (76). - The
arms 64 may additionally include arecess 98 disposed generally between thedistal end 86 of eacharm 64 and theouter surface 78 of thecentral body 62. Therecess 98 may be defined generally by a firstplanar surface 100, a secondplanar surface 102, and asurface 104. The firstplanar surface 100 and the secondplanar surface 102 extend generally from thecentral body 62 in a direction substantially perpendicular to thelongitudinal axis 76. The firstplanar surface 100 and the secondplanar surface 102 may be substantially parallel to one another and may be located in different planes such that the firstplanar surface 100 is located closer to thefirst end 72 of thecentral body 62 and the secondplanar surface 102 is located closer to thesecond end 74 of thecentral body 62, as shown inFIG. 10 . Thesurface 104 extends between the firstplanar surface 100 and the secondplanar surface 102 to connect the firstplanar surface 100 and the secondplanar surface 102. Thesurface 104 may be planar and may be connected tosurfaces planar surface 100, secondplanar surface 102, andsurface 104 cooperate with theouter surface 78 of thecentral body 62 to define therecess 98 of eacharm 64. - With particular reference to
FIGS. 11-13 , aprosthesis 106 is shown to include acentral body 108 and a plurality of wings orarms 110. As with theprosthetics prosthesis 106 may be used during a partial or total shoulder arthroplasty and may be received within a resected portion of a humerus. Theprosthesis 106 may provide a structure on which a prosthetichumeral head 16 may be supported relative to the resected portion of the humerus. - The
central body 108 may include a substantially circular shape and may include abore 112 at least partially formed therethrough and extending along alongitudinal axis 114 of thecentral body 108. Thebore 112 may include afirst portion 116 and asecond portion 118. Thebore 112 may extend completely through thecentral body 108 or, alternatively, thebore 112 may be a blind bore extending only partially through thecentral body 108. Regardless of the particular construction of thebore 112, thefirst portion 116 may include a Morse taper for receiving a portion of the prosthetichumeral head 16. - The
second portion 118 may include a series of threads (not shown) or, alternatively, a shape for mating engagement with a tool (FIG. 35 ). The tool may matingly engage thesecond portion 118 to facilitate attachment between the tool and thecentral body 108 of theprosthesis 106 during installation of theprosthesis 106 into the resected portion of the humerus during a partial or total shoulder arthroplasty. Engagement between the tool and thesecond portion 118 of thecentral body 108 inhibits relative rotation between the tool and thecentral body 108 during installation of theprosthesis 106 and, as a result, enhances the ability of the tool to engage and position theprosthesis 106 within the resected portion of the humerus. - The
central body 108 may additionally include anouter surface 120 that defines the substantially cylindrical shape of thecentral body 108. Theouter surface 120 may extend between afirst end 122 and a second end 124 (FIG. 11 ). Thesecond end 124 may include achamfer 126 to facilitate insertion of thecentral body 108 into the resected portion of the humerus. - With continued reference to
FIGS. 11-13 , thearms 110 are shown as including afirst end 128 and asecond end 130. Thefirst end 128 may include an increased thickness at a junction of thecentral body 108 and eacharm 110 to increase the overall contact area between thecentral body 108 and eacharm 110. Increasing the thickness of eacharm 110 at thefirst end 128 increases the strength of thearms 110 at thecentral body 108 and, as a result, improves the overall strength of theprosthesis 106. - The
second end 130 is formed on an opposite end of eacharm 110 from thefirst end 128 and may include a firstplanar surface 132, a secondplanar surface 134, and a thirdplanar surface 136. The firstplanar surface 132, secondplanar surface 134, and thirdplanar surface 136 may all be formed at an acute angle relative to thelongitudinal axis 114 of thecentral body 108. For example, the firstplanar surface 132 may be formed at an acute angle (θ) relative to thelongitudinal axis 114, the secondplanar surface 134 may be formed at an acute angle (ψ), and the thirdplanar surface 136 may be formed at an acute angle (φ) relative to thelongitudinal axis 114. In addition, the firstplanar surface 132, secondplanar surface 134, and thirdplanar surface 136 may be formed at an obtuse angle relative to one another. For example, the thirdplanar surface 136 may be formed at an obtuse angle (δ) relative to the secondplanar surface 134. Likewise, the secondplanar surface 134 may be formed at an obtuse angle (α) relative to the firstplanar surface 132. - The
arms 110 may extend from thecentral body 108 in a direction substantially perpendicular to thelongitudinal axis 114 of thecentral body 108. As such, animaginary line 138 passing through thelongitudinal axis 114 and bisecting thecentral body 108 likewise passes through a pair of thearms 110, as shown inFIG. 12 . Because the plurality ofarms 110 is shown to include six arms, threesuch lines 138 could be constructed. - The
arms 110 may include arecess 140 extending generally between theouter surface 120 of thecentral body 108 and thesecond end 130 of eacharm 110. Therecess 140 may be defined generally by a firstplanar surface 142, a secondplanar surface 144, and a thirdplanar surface 146. The firstplanar surface 142 and the secondplanar surface 144 may extend generally from thecentral body 108 in a direction substantially perpendicular to thelongitudinal axis 114. The firstplanar surface 142 may be substantially parallel to the secondplanar surface 144, whereby the firstplanar surface 142 and the secondplanar surface 144 extend in different planes. - As described, the first
planar surface 142 is disposed closer to thefirst end 122 of thecentral body 108 and the secondplanar surface 144 is disposed closer to thesecond end 124 of thecentral body 108. The thirdplanar surface 146 is disposed generally between the firstplanar surface 142 and the secondplanar surface 144 and may be formed substantially parallel to thelongitudinal axis 114 of thecentral body 108. As such, the thirdplanar surface 146 may be substantially parallel to theouter surface 120 of thecentral body 108 to define therecesses 140 of thearms 110. - With particular reference to
FIGS. 23-26 , aprosthesis 200 is shown to include acentral body 202 and a plurality of wings orarms 204. As with theprosthetics prosthesis 200 may be used during a partial, total, or reverse shoulder arthroplasty and may be received within a resected portion of a humerus. Theprosthesis 200 may provide a structure on which a prosthetichumeral head 16 may be supported relative to the resected portion of the humerus. - The
central body 202 may include a substantially circular shape and may include abore 206 at least partially formed therethrough and extending along a longitudinal axis 208 (FIG. 25 ) of thecentral body 202. Thebore 206 may include afirst portion 210 and asecond portion 212. Thebore 206 may extend completely through thecentral body 202 or, alternatively, thebore 206 may be a blind bore extending only partially through thecentral body 202. Regardless of the particular construction of thebore 206, thefirst portion 210 may include a Morse taper for receiving a portion of a reverse humeral tray (not shown) or a portion of the prosthetichumeral head 16. Further, thefirst portion 210 may include a substantially uniform inner surface (FIG. 25 ) or, alternatively, may include a series of threads or steps, as shown in conjunction with the device shown inFIG. 30 . - The
second portion 212 may include a series of threads 214 or, alternatively, a shape for mating engagement with a tool (FIG. 35 ). The tool may matingly engage thesecond portion 212 to facilitate attachment between the tool and thecentral body 202 of theprosthesis 200 during installation of theprosthesis 200 into the resected portion of the humerus during a partial or total shoulder arthroplasty. Engagement between the tool and thesecond portion 212 of thecentral body 202 inhibits relative rotation between the tool and thecentral body 202 during installation of theprosthesis 200 and, as a result, enhances the ability of the tool to engage and position theprosthesis 200 within the resected portion of the humerus. - The
central body 202 may additionally include anouter surface 216 that defines the substantially cylindrical shape of thecentral body 202. Theouter surface 216 may extend between afirst end 218 and a second end 220 (FIG. 24 ). Thesecond end 220 may include a chamfer (not shown) to facilitate insertion of thecentral body 202 into the resected portion of the humerus. - With continued reference to
FIGS. 23-26 , thearms 204 are shown as including afirst end 222 and asecond end 224. Thefirst end 222 may be attached to thecentral body 202 such that thearms 204 extend from thecentral body 202 in a first direction (D1) substantially perpendicular to thelongitudinal axis 208. Thearms 204 may be located relative to thecentral body 202 such that an imaginary line passing through thelongitudinal axis 208 and bisecting thecentral body 202 likewise passes through a pair of thearms 204. Because the plurality ofarms 204 is shown to include six arms, three such lines could be constructed. - The
second end 224 is formed on an opposite end of eacharm 204 from thefirst end 222 and may include a greater width than thefirst end 222 measured in a second direction (D2) substantially perpendicular to the first direction (D1). Providing thesecond end 224 with a greater width than thefirst end 222 may also provide eacharm 204 with atapered surface 226 extending generally between thefirst end 222 and thesecond end 224. Thetapered surface 226 may additionally include a series ofsteps 228 that cooperate to define a series ofrecesses 230. - The
steps 228 and recesses 230 may be used to retain theprosthesis 200 once installed by allowing cement, bone-growth material, and/or other material to collect within eachrecess 230. Further, eachrecess 230 may terminate at anedge 232 of anadjacent step 228, whereby theedge 232 is positioned to engage the surrounding bone and/or tissue to restrict removal of theprosthesis 200 once installed. Theedge 232 may include a somewhat sharp corner that allows theedge 232 to facilitate engagement with the surrounding bone. - During installation, the
prosthesis 200 is driven into a resected humerus and applies a force on the surrounding bone due to the taperedsurfaces 226 of thearms 204. Specifically, the resected humerus is typically prepared such that the humerus includes a size and shape that accommodates theprosthesis 200. For example, the resected humerus could be undersized relative to theprosthesis 200 such that theprosthesis 200 is in a press-fit relationship with the humerus upon installation. Alternatively, the resected humerus could be oversized to allow theprosthesis 200 to be cemented within the humerus. - Assuming the resected humerus is undersized relative to the
prosthesis 200, when theprosthesis 200 is driven into the humerus, thetapered surfaces 226 of thearms 204 apply a compressive force on the surrounding bone, thereby ensuring a tight fit between theprosthesis 200 and the bone. This tight fit may be maintained due to engagement between theedges 232 of thesteps 228 and the surrounding bone when theprosthesis 200 is forcibly inserted into a resected humerus and may retain a position of theprosthesis 200 relative to the humerus once the force applied to theprosthesis 200 is released. - The
arms 204 may also include a series ofsteps 234 and recesses 236 formed in asurface 238 of thearms 204 that extends generally between thefirst end 222 and thesecond end 224. As with thesteps 228 and recesses 230, thesteps 234 and recesses 236 may facilitate retention of theprosthesis 200 within a humerus by allowing cement, bone-growth material, and/or other material to collect within eachrecess 236. - The
arms 204 may include arecess 240 extending generally between theouter surface 120 of thecentral body 202 and thesecond end 224 of eacharm 204. Therecess 240 may receive cement, bone-growth material, and/or other material to help retain theprosthesis 200 within the resected humerus. - With particular reference to
FIGS. 27-30 , aprosthesis 300 is shown to include acentral body 302 and a plurality of wings orarms 304. As with theprosthetics prosthesis 300 may be used during a partial or total shoulder arthroplasty and may be received within a resected portion of a humerus. Theprosthesis 300 may provide a structure on which a prosthetichumeral head 16 may be supported relative to the resected portion of the humerus. - The
central body 302 may include a substantially circular shape and may include abore 306 at least partially formed therethrough and extending along a longitudinal axis 308 (FIG. 25 ) of thecentral body 302. Thebore 306 may include afirst portion 310 and asecond portion 312. Thebore 306 may extend completely through thecentral body 302 or, alternatively, thebore 306 may be a blind bore extending only partially through thecentral body 302. Regardless of the particular construction of thebore 306, thefirst portion 310 may include a Morse taper for receiving a portion of the prosthetichumeral head 16. Further, thefirst portion 310 may include a substantially uniform inner surface (as is shown inFIG. 25 with respect to prosthesis 200) or, alternatively, may include a series of threads or steps 311 (FIG. 30 ). - The
second portion 312 may include a series of threads 314 or, alternatively, a shape for mating engagement with a tool (FIG. 35 ). The tool may matingly engage thesecond portion 312 to facilitate attachment between the tool and thecentral body 302 of theprosthesis 300 during installation of theprosthesis 300 into the resected portion of the humerus during a partial or total shoulder arthroplasty. Engagement between the tool and thesecond portion 312 of thecentral body 302 inhibits relative rotation between the tool and thecentral body 302 during installation of theprosthesis 300 and, as a result, enhances the ability of the tool to engage and position theprosthesis 300 within the resected portion of the humerus. - The
central body 302 may additionally include anouter surface 316 that defines the substantially cylindrical shape of thecentral body 302. Theouter surface 316 may extend between afirst end 318 and a second end 320 (FIG. 28 ). Thesecond end 320 may include a chamfer (not shown) to facilitate insertion of thecentral body 302 into the resected portion of the humerus. - With continued reference to
FIGS. 27-30 , thearms 304 are shown as including afirst end 322 and asecond end 324. Thefirst end 322 may be attached to thecentral body 302 such that thearms 304 extend from thecentral body 302 in a first direction (D1) substantially perpendicular to thelongitudinal axis 308. Thearms 304 may be located relative to thecentral body 302 such that an imaginary line passing through thelongitudinal axis 308 and bisecting thecentral body 302 likewise passes through a pair of thearms 304. Because the plurality ofarms 304 is shown to include six arms, three such lines could be constructed. - The
second end 324 is formed on an opposite end of eacharm 304 from thefirst end 322 and may include a greater width than thefirst end 22 measured in a second direction (D2) substantially perpendicular to the first direction (D1). Providing thesecond end 324 with a greater width than thefirst end 322 may also provide eacharm 304 with atapered surface 326 extending generally between thefirst end 322 and thesecond end 324. Thetapered surface 326 may be substantially planar, thereby providing eacharm 304 with a substantially smooth surface extending between thefirst end 322 and thesecond end 324. - During installation, the
prosthesis 300 is driven into a resected humerus and may apply a force on the surrounding bone due to the taperedsurfaces 326 of thearms 304. Specifically, the resected humerus is typically prepared such that the humerus includes a size and shape that is either undersized or oversized relative to theprosthesis 300. Namely, the resected humerus may be undersized to provide a press-fit between the resected humerus and theprosthesis 300 upon installation or, alternatively, could be oversized to allow theprosthesis 300 to be cemented within the humerus. Assuming that the resected humerus is undersized, when theprosthesis 300 is driven into the humerus, thetapered surfaces 326 of thearms 304 apply a compressive force on the surrounding bone, thereby ensuring a tight fit between theprosthesis 300 and the bone. - The
arms 304 may also include a series ofsteps 334 and recesses 336 formed in asurface 338 of thearms 304 that extends generally between thefirst end 322 and thesecond end 324. Thesteps 334 and recesses 336 may facilitate retention of theprosthesis 300 within a humerus by allowing cement, bone-growth material, and/or other material to collect within eachrecess 336. - The
arms 304 may include arecess 340 extending generally between theouter surface 120 of thecentral body 302 and thesecond end 324 of eacharm 304. Therecess 340 may receive cement, bone-growth material, and/or other material to help retain theprosthesis 300 within the resected humerus. - While the

FIGS. 14-22 , various configurations of theprosthesis 106 are provided, whereby theprosthesis 106 is formed via an additive manufacturing process.FIGS. 14-21 depict at least a portion of thecentral body 108 andarms 110 as being formed from a porous material, whereby thecentral body 108 and/orarms 110 include pores formed in between biomaterial. While theprosthesis 106 is described and shown as being formed from an additive manufacturing process and as including a mesh or porous material at thecentral body 108 and/orarms 110, any of theprosthetics -
FIGS. 14-16 generally depict theprosthesis 106 as including a porous material that forms a portion of thecentral body 108 and at least a portion of thearms 110. For example, the cross-sectional view ofFIG. 17 identifies a portion of thecentral body 108 andarms 110 as being formed from a porous material. Forming a portion of thecentral body 108 from a porous material allows thecentral body 108 to be machined. For example, thecentral portion 108 may be machined to include a taper to allow thecentral portion 108 to properly receive an installation tool and subsequently a portion of ahumeral head 16. - The
arms 110 are shown as including asolid portion 148 disposed generally within thearms 110 and connected to thecentral portion 108. Thesolid portion 148 may be configured such that thesolid portion 148 mimics the outer profile of eacharm 110, whereby thesolid portion 148 similarly includes afirst surface 150, asecond surface 152, and athird surface 154. Namely, thefirst surface 150,second surface 152, andthird surface 154 are respectively disposed adjacent and parallel tosurfaces arm 110. In addition, thesolid portion 148 may include afourth surface 156 that is substantially parallel to the firstplanar surface 142 and afifth surface 158 that is substantially parallel to theouter surface 120 of thecentral body 108. - The
solid portion 148 may be surrounded by a porous material and may be positioned within thearms 110 at virtually any location and may include virtually any shape to provide eacharm 110 with additional strength. During manufacturing of theprosthesis 106, the porous material, as well as thesolid portion 148, may be formed by depositing layer upon layer until the shape of theprosthesis 106 shown inFIG. 17 is obtained. For example, the layers may be added to one another in any of the (W), (X), (Y), and (Z) directions during manufacturing (FIG. 17 ). - With particular reference to
FIG. 18 , theprosthesis 106 is shown to include asolid portion 160 having a similar shape to that of thesolid portion 148. While thesolid portion 160 includes a substantially similar shape as thesolid portion 148, thesolid portion 160 ofFIG. 18 includes additional solid material when compared to thesolid portion 148 ofFIG. 17 . Providing theprosthesis 106 with additional solid material, as shown inFIG. 18 , additionally strengthens thearms 110 and, thus, strengthens theoverall prosthesis 106. - With particular reference to
FIG. 19 , theprosthesis 106 is shown as being formed entirely from a porous material, except for a portion of thecentral body 108 to allow thecentral portion 108 to be machined. In this configuration, thecentral body 108 andarms 110 are completely formed from a porous material and do not include a solid portion, as shown inFIGS. 17 and 18 . - With particular reference to
FIG. 20 , theprosthesis 106 is shown as including asolid portion 162 having a different configuration than thesolid portions FIGS. 17 and 18 , respectively. Thesolid portion 162 includes afirst surface 164 that is substantially parallel to the thirdplanar surface 136, as well as a pair ofplanar surfaces 166 that are substantially parallel to thelongitudinal axis 114 of thecentral body 108. Additionally, thesolid portion 162 may include a pair ofplanar surfaces 168 that are substantially perpendicular to thelongitudinal axis 114 of thecentral body 108. - With particular reference to
FIG. 21 , theprosthesis 106 is shown as including asolid portion 170 having a pair ofplanar surfaces 172 that are substantially parallel to thelongitudinal axis 114 of thecentral body 108 and a pair ofplanar surfaces 174 that are substantially perpendicular to thelongitudinal axis 114 of thecentral body 108. As with thesolid portions solid portion 170 adds to the overall strength of theprosthesis 106 by extending into thearms 110 in an effort to strengthen thearms 110 proximate to a junction of thecentral body 108 and thearms 110. - With particular reference to
FIG. 22 , the prosthesis is shown without having any regions of porous material. As such, theprosthesis 106 shown inFIG. 22 is entirely solid and therefore may be coated with acoating 176 that promotes boney ingrowth or ongrowth once installed in the humerus. - With particular reference to
FIGS. 31-35 , installation of theprosthesis 10 will be described in detail. While the following installation will be described with respect to theprosthesis 10, the following installation could be performed with any of theprosthetics - During a partial or total shoulder arthroplasty, a surgeon first makes an incision proximate to the shoulder joint of the patient to expose the humerus and glenoid fossa. Once exposed, the surgeon may use a template (not shown) to make a resection of the
humerus 178 alongline 180 ofFIG. 33 . Once thehumerus 178 is resected, the surgeon may then use a tool such as a central pin and reamer/broach (none shown) to prepare a proximal end of thehumerus 178 to allow thehumerus 178 to receive theprosthesis 10. In one configuration, the reamer/broach creates a central pocket for receiving thecentral body 12 as well as a series of recesses extending from thecentral body 12 in spaced relation to one another in an effort to matingly receive thearms 14 once theprosthesis 10 is inserted into thehumerus 178. - Prior to inserting the
prosthesis 10 into thehumerus 178, a suitable adhesive and/or coating may be applied to both retain theprosthesis 10 within thehumerus 178 and to promote boney ingrowth and/or ongrowth. If theprosthesis 10 includes a recess such asrecesses 52 ofprosthesis 10 a,recess 98 ofprosthesis 60, or recess 140 ofprosthesis 106, a bone graft material may additionally be applied therein to further retain theprosthesis 10 within thehumerus 178 and to promote bone growth over and within therecesses - Once the
prosthesis 10 is positioned relative to thehumerus 178, a tool may be received within thebore 20 and may threadably engage thethreads 28 of thesecond portion 28 of the bore 20 (FIG. 35 ). A force may be applied to the tool in the direction (Z) shown inFIG. 35 to drive theprosthesis 10 into thehumerus 178 until theprosthesis 10 is positioned in a desired position relative to thehumerus 178. - Once the
prosthesis 10 is disposed within thehumerus 178, atool 182 may be used to position the prosthetichumeral head 16 relative to theprosthesis 10 such that a portion of the prosthetichumeral head 16 is received within thebore 20 of theprosthesis 10. Specifically, the prosthetichumeral head 16 may include anextension 184 having a Morse taper. Theextension 184 may include a male Morse taper while thefirst portion 22 of thebore 20 includes a mating female Morse taper such that when theextension 184 is received within thebore 20 of thecentral body 12, the prosthetichumeral head 16 is retained by theprosthesis 10 and held in a desired position relative to thehumerus 178. - The foregoing description of the embodiments has been provided for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the disclosure. Individual elements or features of a particular embodiment are generally not limited to that particular embodiment, but, where applicable, are interchangeable and can be used in a selected embodiment, even if not specifically shown or described.
