Abstract

Abstract The modular prosthesis has a humeral shank (1) anchored in the humeral meatus and a hemispherical crown (3). The humeral shank has, in its metaphyseal part (11), a housing (16) with a spherical bottom (16a). A sphere (2), which receives the hemispherical crown, is introduced into this housing. Pressure screws (19) immobilise the sphere and crown in a determined angular position relative to the humeral shank axis. The sphere has in its middle a bore (20) into which issues a radial slit (21). The bore is dished (22,23) at each pole to limit the sphere's insertion inside the spherical housing.
